Chapter 286 What is the Retention Rate?

The so-called "International Women's Day" is nothing more than that of Koreans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

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. Several planning team leaders divide labor, Ling Xingning and Li Youxi are responsible for answering all kinds of strange questions raised by players in real time through the 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 large and small bugs from players in the forum and submitting them to the studio's bug management software, as well as sorting out a decent "official strategy" as soon as possible in response to the new needs of the prosperous 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 other plans and procedures above the team leader level, and rushed to the studio as soon as possible to study the situation and deal with it urgently...... After more than an hour of tossing and turning, it was discovered that there was a minor problem with the communication port algorithm of an infrequently used function, which would cause the client to constantly request data from the server, and the system could crash if a large number of players used the feature at the same time.

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. There is no QA department in the threesome studio, the testing force is insufficient, and it is inconvenient to call the test manpower on Naxon's side indefinitely - after all, there are so many R&D teams under Naxon, so the stress test and the functional test are performed separately, although the bug should have been triggered during the functional test, but it did not reach the critical point that caused the server system to crash, so this problem was not detected.

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 the small conference room by Che Guanglong and Yuan Bin for half an hour, and when he came out, his head hung down on 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, the people in the room greeted him, and 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 no one is too surprised to see him appear.

Then I found out that Special Agent Quan and Liu Kewei also came in behind Executive Zhao.

"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. ”

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 want to tell you a piece of good news. 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 logged in on the second day to the total number of players who logged in to the corner.

This data is one of the core criteria to measure the attractiveness or stickiness 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 document I have in my hand is the relevant data faxed from the bustling network, our "Six Tribulations", a total of 2,832 player characters were created on the first day, and the total number of players logged in the next day was 2,617. ”

Zhao Changchang took out a folded copy paper from his pocket, opened it and read it to the data 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 arrive today, and the amount is the same as before, which is also 30% of the total signing fee - 4.5 million yuan! After this money arrives, I will go through the financial process of the company as soon as possible, and strive to distribute the dividends that everyone deserves to you as soon as possible." ”

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 all as excited as if they were 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 just joined the studio for a few days, I asked myself that most of the "Xinning" who couldn't catch up with this dividend, although there will inevitably be some envy in their hearts, but the joy of "being honored" and the expectation of "next time the dividend, 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 emotions, 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 logged players on the third day is 2362, and the three-day retention rate has dropped 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 there will be a large drop in the number of logged-in players, but I hope that Kewei will try to find the reasons for this, see if there are any shortcomings, and strive to do our project better. ”

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.

When we returned to the office, we were still in high spirits. 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 proposed 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 shaken violently 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, they all drank it in one go.

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, and compared to the first half of the third and fourth volumes, it's a rapid progress, everyone should be satisfied, right?

To be honest, in fact, I still think that the previous rhythm and reading experience will be better......
