eMade Entertainment spent millions of dollars to promote "Legend", but I never thought that this game would not be popular with European and American players at all, and it would lose a lot of money.

And there are cheats on the Chinese side, which makes many Chinese players go away with hatred.

On December 5th, something happened that made Shanda and emade Entertainment so angry that they vomited blood, and a "private server" actually appeared on the Internet.

I don't know when, the "Legend" server-side program was leaked, and soon someone used it to develop a "private server".

As for what is a private server? A private server is a network server set up after illegally obtaining a server-side installer without the authorization of the copyright owner, which is essentially a network piracy, and the result of piracy is naturally to directly divert the operator's profits.

The private server is very simple, and many Internet cafes can set up private servers on the internal LAN to charge for fees, which has nothing to do with Shanda's semi-wool line.

The private server can be set according to your own requirements, and the equipment explosion rate can be set to be ridiculously high, and the attack power will kill the final boss with one sword. Usually playing on the genuine official server, it takes a few hundred yuan to rush to the initial stage, but in the private server, it may be a senior player as soon as it is online, and the consumption cost of the private server is much cheaper than the genuine one, and even free, so it is liked by many players.

As long as the first private server appears on the network, the second and third private servers will appear...... Private clothes are like a flood of beasts, and they can't be stopped. Especially in the current Chinese environment, even if you go to the court to sue them, it will be useless, and the court will not accept any complaints after you have caused losses in private services.

At the end of 2001, due to the strong attack of private servers and plug-ins, the number of online players fell seriously, from hundreds of thousands of online players to less than 100,000, and will continue to fall in the future, until the game is abolished, and each district becomes a "ghost town" with no people!

……

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

Outside, the wind was cold, the snow was falling, and the ground was covered in snow.

In front of the European-style fireplace in the villa, an expensive Persian carpet was spread on the floor, and Li Zetian sat on the ground, reading a book while baking a fire. There are no plans to travel during this Christmas season, so it's nice to stay at home.

"Legend" is about to collapse, Li Zetian is very happy.

Frankly speaking, the influence of "Legend" is too great, and it has seriously impacted Flamingo's position in the Chinese game market.

Other companies have seen Shanda introduce Korean games and make so much money, and they have all followed suit, which has increased the pressure on Flamingo on the one hand, and Korean game developers have grown on the other.

Therefore, it must be suppressed!

"Dad, what are you reading?!" walked up leisurely, hugged Li Zetian's arm, and asked curiously. Now, Xiao Youran has grown up, 170cm tall, slim, white and beautiful, completely inherited Yu Jingqiu's beauty, and has the color of captivating the country and the city. Now studying at Harvard University.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "A copy of the Internet, now published, is quite interesting, the book is called "The First Close Contact". ”

"The Internet......" said leisurely, obviously she was not interested in the Internet.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "This book is very powerful, the language is funny, the story is touching, it is popular on the Chinese Internet, it is the first best-selling on the Internet, well, it can be said that "The First Close Contact" opened a precedent on the Internet!"

After hearing this, Li Youran was shocked, and couldn't help but be a little interested in "The First Close Contact". Then I went back to my room, opened my notebook, and searched for "The First Intimate Encounter" on the Internet.

"What is the name of the protagonist ruffian Cai, it doesn't sound good at all~"

Muttered leisurely, continued to look down, and unconsciously attracted by the story, some interesting sentences made her can't help but read out: "If I have 10 million, I can buy a house." Do I have 10 million? No. So I still don't have a house. If I had wings, I could fly. Do I have wings? No. So I can't fly. If the water of the entire Pacific Ocean is brought out, it will not be able to extinguish the flame of my love for you. Can the entire Pacific Ocean pour out all the water? No. That's why I don't love you. ”

"I danced softly, in the middle of the crowd.

You cast a strange look at you.

Be surprised or admired.

It didn't mess up my dance steps.

For it is not your gaze that makes me fly.

It's my young heart. ”

Li Youran read and forgot to eat and sleep, and the maid asked her to eat dinner, but she couldn't move until Yu Jingqiu went out in person.

Li Youran didn't have the heart to eat dinner, his mind was on the book. After eating dinner in a hurry, Li Youran immediately returned to his room and continued to read. At first, I was very happy to see the ruffian Cai and Qingwu Feiyang start dating, but when I saw the back, Qingwu Feiyang said goodbye without saying goodbye, and died of illness, Li Youran immediately cried.

"What is written, it was clearly written so well before, why did you write the heroine to death in the end, it's so sadistic~~" leisurely complained while wiping tears.

Early the next morning, Li Youran found Li Zetian "vigorously" and said, "Dad, I'm in a bad mood now!!"

"What's the matter, baby girl?" asked Li Zetian in surprise.

"Hmph, what did you ask why, what did you say you recommended to me, I cried all night!" Li Youran puffed out his cheeks and complained.

Li Zetian shook his head, speechless, gently touched her long hair, and comforted: "Okay, okay, good daughter, it's okay if Dad is wrong." Come on, come on, sit down for breakfast first. As he spoke, Li Zetian pulled out a chair for her to sit down, put a fritter on the plate, and poured another bowl of rice porridge.

After comforting his daughter's mood, Li Zetian picked up the newspaper and looked at what news was available today as usual, a habit that has been developed for a long time.

Due to the emergence of "Legend" and Shanda Company, Li Zetian suddenly thought of the starting point website and the Internet. The book "The First Close Contact", Li Zetian read it once in his previous life, and he was moved by the memory, this is a rare good book, so he specially asked someone to mail a copy of "The First Close Contact". Of course, you can also read it on the computer, but Li Zetian likes to read it with paper books.

The heavy snow outside the house had stopped, and four or five servants were sweeping the snow from the ground. After reading the newspaper, Li Zetian walked outside the door and blew a cold wind.

"There are many stations in China, such as the Phantom Sword Book League, Longkong, Under the Banyan Tree, etc., but it seems that the most famous starting point website in the previous life has not yet been established......"

Although Li Zetian does not see many networks, he also knows the name of the starting point Chinese network. And the station platform is a very important IP incubator, which should be in your own hands!
