Even though it's only an open beta, World of Warcraft is incredibly popular!

Open Beta players have praised World of Warcraft as the most well-made and classic online game!

Major media in the United States also praised it.

For a time, newspapers, television, and the Internet were full of reports on "World of Warcraft".

A few days later, the popularity of World of Warcraft in the United States spread to China.

Chinese media and the Internet have reprinted it.

"On November 11th, not only was Shanda Group's "World of Legends" released, but also in the United States, "World of Warcraft" developed by Blizzard was in open beta. During the open beta period, the number one public beta account is hard to find!"

On November 11th, the open beta of "World of Warcraft" developed by Blizzard received enthusiastic responses, and it was praised as "the most fun online game"!"

"World of Warcraft, hundreds of millions of players around the world are looking forward to it! Players from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Japan and other countries have asked Blizzard to officially release the game as soon as possible!!"

“……”

Chinese gamers and netizens were surprised when they saw the news: "Damn, is World of Warcraft really that fun? It's so popular in the United States? ”

Of course, there are also many Blizzard fans in China, who have been following Blizzard's dynamics and are also looking forward to World of Warcraft.

"Ah, the long-awaited World of Warcraft has finally been in open beta, and I hope Blizzard will stop skipping tickets and release the game in China as soon as possible!"

"yes, we've been waiting for years, it's so hard!"

"As soon as the blizzard comes out, who will compete!"

……

Internet cafes all over the country.

What do netizens do when they go to Internet cafes? Undoubtedly, of course, they go to watch small movies!

Of course, playing games is also one thing.

If the owner of an Internet café wants to do a good business, then there must be "small movies" and games on the computer of the Internet café.

Therefore, every Internet café owner has dozens, or even hundreds of gigabytes of "good things", and then we must always pay attention to the game industry.

Whichever game is popular, the Internet café will install this game.

Today's Chinese netizens are very young, and most of them are actually novices who can't download or install games...... Only registration and login. If there are no games in the computer of the Internet café, the business of the Internet café must be very poor.

"Damn, the computer configuration requirements of World of Warcraft are so high, I can't move the machine in this Internet café!" said an Internet café owner in distress. He saw that "World of Warcraft" is so popular in the United States and even in the world, and it must be very popular in China! It's just that what makes him depressed and helpless is that "World of Warcraft" has too high requirements for computer configuration, and if all the computers in his Internet café are replaced, it will cost a lot of money. The owner of the Internet café was a little reluctant.

Internet café owners all over China have similar ideas, many are hesitant, but some even don't plan to install World of Warcraft at all, thinking that the Internet café business is good anyway, and it is a waste of money to change the yarn and new computer.

Indeed, in recent years, the business of Internet cafes in China has been very hot, and there are still a few users who can afford to buy personal computers.

However, there are still many players who are heading for World of Warcraft, which has more or less an impact on the business of Internet cafes. In the last life, Jiucheng acted as an agent for "World of Warcraft", and its agency ability was criticized, and it was sprayed as a dog by countless players, commonly known as "Dog City". In the eyes of many people, the popularity of "World of Warcraft" basically relies on word of mouth, and there is not much shadow of Nine Cities.

In this life, Tencent is the agent, and the situation is completely different. Tencent is strong, relying on a large number of QQ users, it will definitely make "World of Warcraft" several times more popular than in the previous life!

At that time, if the Internet café does not support World of Warcraft, then the business of the Internet café will definitely become light.

……

The Honor chain of Internet cafes began to gradually upgrade their computers, and many people know that this is to prepare for the release of "World of Warcraft" in China.

A large number of World of Warcraft advertisements appeared on Tencent's various platforms to warm up the game in advance.

Blizzard, USA.

The issue of World of Warcraft's fees became the focus of discussion.

Ma Huateng, as a representative of Tencent, also appeared here.

Li Zetian looked around and said lightly: "What do you think of the charging of "World of Warcraft"?"

“Mr· Li, nowadays, most online games are charged by point cards!" said Mike Mohan, implying that World of Warcraft is also charged by this model.

However, as a person from the crossing, Li Zetian is not optimistic about this charging model.

Point card charging is actually a threshold, which will limit a large number of people.

People love free games.

That's why it's free!

The game never mentions charging, but vigorously promotes that it is free, and when users are addicted to playing, they will charge for props.

I want to get out of the car when I get in the car, hehe, but it's not that easy!

If you're in love with this game, you're willing to spend money on it.

Of course, these paid items can't affect the balance of the game, so you need to grasp a degree, such as mounts, pets, transmog equipment, small horns, items obtained by increasing experience, battlefield lucky charms or similar things, etc.

Cleverly designed item charges not only increase the game's revenue, but also create resistance from players. Coupled with the large number of players and users, the game income is definitely much higher than the card point income. In 2016, which other network company engaged in card point income, isn't this looking for death?

In addition, without the point card fee, there will be many more people playing World of Warcraft. In this pan-entertainment environment, Blizzard can start with super IP to obtain higher revenues!

Mike Mohan and others, including Ma Huateng, were actively discussing, but no one could speak to Li Zetian's heart. Li Zetian kept a faint smile on his face, and did not interrupt them, but let them continue the discussion, he thought to himself, although he was far-sighted and did not care about the ideas of Mike Mohan and others, there was no need to laugh at them, after all, the times were limited, and their vision could only see so far.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and at this time, Mike Mohan looked at Li Zetian and asked, "Mr· Li, what do you think......"

"I think so," Li Zetian paused and said with a smile: "The point card charging model of "World of Warcraft" is a bit outdated, and it should be abandoned! "World of Warcraft" is better to be free ......."

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was dumbfounded, rubbing their ears unconsciously, and thinking that they had heard it wrong.

Gratis???

Oh God, Chronos· Li isn't kidding......
