Chapter 286 What is the Retention Rate?
The so-called "International Women's Day" is nothing more than that of Koreans.
Koreans also know the term "Women's Day", and two years ago, when I was young, I participated in the Women's Day special with infinite challenges, but I only knew that there was such a thing.
The day of going to work and going to school has no real impact on Korean society.
Some women's rights organizations of a similar nature, such as the Women's Federation of the Celestial Empire, have some gatherings or celebrations, but those have little to do with ordinary Korean people.
This day is also the fourth day after the start of the first closed beta test of the prosperous network.
The group of gamers at Threesome Studios came to work on time with the same yawns and panda eyes as they did two days ago.
In the first two days of the internal test, the program and planning basically worked overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock. Ling Xingning and Li Youxi are responsible for answering all kinds of strange questions raised by players in real time through the guΓ² public chat channel in the test server, bringing a game atmosphere by the way, while Duan Shanshan and Liu Guanghui are responsible for recording various bugs and bugs of various sizes in the forum and submitting them to the studio's bug management software, as well as sorting out a decent "official strategy" in response to the new needs of the bustling side.
At about two o'clock in the evening of the first day, the server on the bustling side suddenly went down inexplicably, so the bustling customer service on duty did not dare to slack off, and directly made a transatlantic call to the mobile phone of Ling Xingning, who was responsible for direct contact with the bustling product department on the side of the threesome studio. Then Ling Xingning nervously called one by one to inform the team leader and above of other plans and procedures, and rushed to the studio as soon as possible to study the situation and deal with it urgently...... After tossing and turning for more than an hour, I found that there was a small problem with an infrequently used communication port algorithm, which would lead the client to constantly request a number of jΓΉ from the server, and if a large number of players used the function at the same time, the system might crash.
Threesome Studios had previously used a program to simulate a large-scale login to stress test, but it didn't perform such a step for each system function one by one. The stress test and the functional test are performed separately, so although the problem should have been triggered when testing the function, it did not reach the critical point of the server system crash, so it was not measured.
It took more than half an hour to find the problem, only two minutes to solve the problem, then it took another twenty minutes to upload the packer patch, it was almost four o'clock when I went back to the dormitory and went to bed again, and then I had to get up at half past eight to rush to the company......
Fortunately, the outage occurred in the second half of the night and did not cause much impact.
Because of carelessness, the Xianzu programmer who was responsible for writing the client code was later called to a small conference room by Che Guanglong and Yuan Bin for half an hour of training, and when he came out, his head hung down to his chest and he was almost faceless.
Fortunately, in the past four days, this has only happened once.
But even so, everyone's rest time in the past three days is relatively insufficient, and everyone's spirit is in a high state of tension, so yawning and dark circles are inevitable.
Even when Executive Zhao walked into the office, when the people in the room greeted him, their voices were a little sluggish.
In the past few days, Executive Director Zhao has taken the initiative to come to the studio to inspect several times a day, so when he appeared, no one was too surprised.
Then, Attorney Quan and Liu Kewei followed him and also came in.
"Gather everyone for a meeting, we can't sit in the conference room of our studio, let's go to the big conference room on this floor. β
Executive Zhao's words startled the people in the room at first, and they thought that something was happening, but looking at Zhao Executive Zhao's red face and smiling, the two people behind him, Quan and Liu Kewei, also seemed to be in a good mood, it is estimated that it should not be a bad thing.
So since the expansion of the establishment, the more than 50 employees under the jurisdiction of the threesome studio gathered together for the first time.
First of all, Executive Director Zhao solemnly expressed his gratitude to everyone for their hard work in the past few days of internal testing, which is also the proper meaning of the question.
"Next, I would like to have good news for everyone. Yesterday, the statistics of the prosperous network showed that the retention rate of our "Six Tribulations" in this internal test is 92.4%! It has far exceeded the standard of 80% required by the prosperous network!"
Several senior planners and programmers were refreshed when they heard this, and rookie planners and rookie programs like Duan Shanshan and Saiwen who had not experienced the game operation stage were confused.
As for the art department, uh, almost everyone has a blank look on their faces.
Executive Zhao motioned to Liu Kewei, who was sitting next to him, to come out and explain to him, and Liu Kewei coughed and spoke.
The so-called "retention rate" is the abbreviation of the phrase "the next-day retention rate of logged-in players". As the name suggests, it refers to the ratio of the number of players who log in the next day to the total number of players who log in to the corner.
This number is one of the core criteria to measure the attractiveness or adhesion of an online game to players.
Generally speaking, the general standard for the retention rate in the Celestial Empire game development industry is more than 60% to be qualified. In other words, let's say a game has a total of 1,000 players logging in to Tron on the first day, and more than 600 players logging in on the second day.
Because there was no large-scale test in the first internal test, it was a hunger marketing strategy that was in short supply, so the bustling network raised the required standard for the retention rate to 80%, but in fact, the answer sheet handed over by "Six Tribulations" can be called perfect, and the next day's survival exceeded ninety!
"The article in my hand is the relevant number faxed over from the bustling network, our "Six Dao Tribulations", a total of 2832 players were created on the first day, and the total number of players logged in on the next day was 2617. β
Zhao Changchang took out a folded copy paper from his pocket, opened it, and read it to the number on the paper.
Although some players have obtained the registration code, they are unable to play the game because of the temporary occurrence of such and such a situation, which is very likely to happen, and the three hundred registration codes reserved by the bustling network have not all been used, so it is not surprising that the total number of players in the actual corner is only more than 2,800 people.
Well, with such an explanation, the vast majority of people present also basically understood what the concept of "secondary retention rate" is.
"Because we have met the retention rate standard required by the prosperous network, the second signing fee for our project should be received today, and the amount is the same as before, which is also 30% of the total signing fee - 4.5 million yuan! β
To say that when I listened to Zhao Changchang and Liu Kewei explain the concept of "secondary retention rate" just now, most of the people here still had a little mentality of "just listen to it". As soon as Executive Director Zhao's words came out, he immediately attracted thunderous applause.
It's time to split the money again!
Can you not get excited?
The old employees who have experienced the last R&D dividend are almost as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood. The fatigue accumulated in the past few days seems to be all gone away at this moment.
Sure enough, money is the cure for all diseases!
Even if I have just joined the studio for a few days, I ask myself that most of the "Xinning" who can't catch up with this dividend, although there will inevitably be some envy and jealousy in my heart, but the joy of "having honor" and the expectation of "next time I pay dividends, there should be my share" can't run.
"It seems that King Sejong's charm is really much greater than mine!" Zhao Changchang shook his head and sighed, even making a joke.
So the room burst into laughter.
Then Zhao Changchang took out a folded copy paper from another pocket, and seeing that he still had something to announce, everyone quickly sorted out their feelings, looking forward to the next one would be similar good news.
"This is the latest statistics just sent by the bustling network, the number of players who logged in on the third day was 2,362, and the three-day retention rate fell to 83.4%, which is not as ideal as the secondary retention rate. Although considering that the third day is a weekday Monday, it is understandable that the number of logged-in players has dropped significantly, but I hope that Kewei you will try to find out the reasons and see if there are any places where there are shortcomings, and strive to make our project better. β
Liu Kewei hurriedly nodded and agreed.
After that, Zhao Changchang mentioned the downtime incident in the second half of the night on the first day, although he did not explicitly criticize anyone, but he also sternly said that this situation is only once, and it will not be an example, otherwise it will be severely punished.
After all, on the whole, the results of the three days of the test are still quite good, and Zhao Changchang did not knock everyone too much. After asking a few more simple questions, he motioned for the heads of departments to stay, and the others could dismiss the meeting and go back to the office to get back to their work.
After returning to the office, everyone's feelings were still full of energy. So, on this day, the planning and procedures worked overtime until half past eleven in the evening before leaving the company.
Because they moved out of the dormitory, Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong and Duan Shanshan did not go with the others.
On the way back to the apartment, Che Guanglong suddenly mentioned that he wanted to have some supper and drink some wine to celebrate.
Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan did not object, so they found a nearby night food stall with tents, ordered some food and drinks at random, and found an empty table to sit down.
Just like when he first came to Seoul, he ordered the kind of makgeolli that needed to be violently shaken before drinking it (see Chapter 117 for details), and Liu Kewei poured a full glass for each of the three of them, and when he touched his glass, he drank it all in one gulp.
The wine still tastes like that. But the three people who drank no longer have the confusion of an uncertain future, as well as the embarrassment of being desperate and ruined.
"Regarding the work of the glorious daughter-in-law, I suddenly have some ideas today, and I want to discuss it with the two of you......"
As soon as he put down the cup, Che Guanglong said straight to the point.
P.S. These chapters are fast-paced, aren't they? It's been more than a week at once, and after moving the house, I think I'm going to get a second signing fee, which is a rapid advance compared to the first half of the fourth volume before the third volume, everyone should be satisfied, right?
To be honest, I actually think the previous rhythm reading experience was better......
