Friday, May 4th, sunny.

Today is the "May Fourth Youth Day", and it is said that young people always have to do something on this day to prove that they are "youth".

No, there was a fight just now in Julong Internet Cafe, and the two young men saw blood, which made the boss Qin Sheng quite depressed.

Because this fight incident directly alarmed the Public Security Bureau, it is a loss that he has fulfilled all the courtesies since he ran the Internet café, and everyone who celebrates the New Year and holidays has filial piety, and the relationship between the police and the people is very harmonious, so he has not been involved.

The accident was caused by two young people fighting for a computer, and neither side refused to give in to each other.

One of them showed his knife, and the other didn't seem to be very easy to mess with, and directly picked up a half-cut brick from the foot of the wall, and rushed up with it.

The one who carries the brick pierces it, and the one who carries the brick opens the scoop of the bright knife.

Fortunately, neither of them was in danger of life.

This made Qin Sheng's uneasy heart fall to the ground.

However, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, and called all the network managers of the Internet café and the two younger brothers in charge of public security, and said: "Keep an eye on me, there can't be any more chaos in the next few days." ”

One of the younger brothers said depressedly: "Brother Sheng, I just went out for a walk, not only are we full, but the nearby Internet cafes, no matter how big or small, are almost full, and there have been computer grabs and fights in several places, and the Public Security Bureau is busier than us." ”

Qin Sheng snuffed out the cigarette in his mouth, spat at the mouth, and scolded: "Damn, these people are crazy, right?

In addition to the overwhelming large-scale publicity of "Legend" in Zhongzhou City, the "Play Legend, Win 10,000 Yuan Gift" activity of Julong Internet Cafe during the internal test played a great role in the publicity of the Internet café.

At the end of the month-long test, the top prize was taken away by a girl named Chen Tianjiao.

At that time, a grand award ceremony was held outside the door of the Julong Internet Cafe, and Su Qingzhi also found a reporter to report on the spot, and many photos were circulated on the Internet, which caused a huge sensation again, and the Julong Internet Cafe became famous for a while.

At this time, a thin and tall network manager took over the conversation and said: "I have been working as a network manager for more than three years, and I have never seen such a scene. ”

Qin Sheng nodded, since the advent of the "Legend" game, the popularity in the Internet café has been rising, until today's public beta, almost forming a situation where the whole people talk about legends.

If someone asks you, do you know "Legend" and have you ever played "Legend"...... If you dare to say a "no", a large group of people around you will immediately laugh at you for being old-fashioned, and you can't even play "Legend".

It's just a game, you can't eat, drink or sleep, how can it be so attractive?

Qin Sheng really couldn't figure it out.

"Old Song, have you ever played Legends, and is the game really that fun?" he asked.

Lao Song shook his head: "Brother Sheng, how can I have time to play games, I am called by big things every day, and my ass is not next to each other...... However, it is said that this game is poisonous, and everyone who has played it is addictive, and I can't quit. ”

The two security guards nodded their heads as if they were pecking rice, and said with a smile: "Brother Sheng, "Legend" is really fun, enter the game to see who is not happy to pull out the knife and cut it, it is really exciting." ”

While several people were talking, there was a sudden commotion in the Internet café, and Qin Sheng suddenly became nervous again.

There has already been a bloodshed today, and if it happens again, the Julong Internet Café will wait to close down for rectification.

"Quick, fast, fast, the open beta of "Legend" is an hour early, and now you can log in......"

"Brother a few quick points, upgrade first and then cut people. ”

", the novice village is full of people, if you can PK here, you won't die with a knife. ”

……

……

From the first half month of the "Legend" beta to the public beta, Su Qingzhi invested a total of more than 300,000 yuan in marketing and promotion expenses.

This was almost unthinkable in 2001, setting a record for the highest cost of online game marketing and promotion in China.

Online, advertisements for "Legend" have appeared on Internet forums, website homes, NetEase, Sohu, Sina and other portals.

Offline, in Internet cafes and university campuses, all kinds of hard advertisements such as big-character posters, banners, and posters are overwhelming.

Of course, the marketing stall is so big, thanks to Xu Youzhi's three-year-old "water army", if it weren't for the existence of this mysterious force, the marketing budget of 300,000 yuan would be just a drop in the bucket.

On May 4th, the game "Legends" was open beta.

This day is a groundbreaking event in the history of Chinese online games, because the open beta of this game can be described by two idioms.

One is "full", and the other is "Luoyang paper is expensive".

The front seats of the machines in various Internet cafes were full, and even many people fought in order to grab a machine, and almost all the netizens who sat on the machine opened the login interface of "Legend", sharpening their knives and preparing to rush to the novice village.

As for "Luoyang Paper Expensive", it is said that since the "Legend" game set the time for public beta at 12 noon on May 4, the computer sales of Bainaohui in various places have risen significantly.

It is simply appalling that an online game can stir up the domestic electronic hardware market.

However, such a thing happens, and people have to believe it even if they don't believe it, this is the "toxicity" of online games, which is extremely poisonous, and once infected, it is almost difficult to quit.

Su Qingzhi originally set the time of the public beta at 12 noon, but the customer service kept reporting that the company's phones were about to be blown up, and it was now the May 17 holiday, and there were too many people playing the game, and players couldn't wait......

Su Qingzhi called Jiang Haobo over and temporarily decided to adjust the public beta time, preceded the original date at 12 o'clock for 1 hour, and the public beta started at 11 o'clock.

As a result, there was another problem.

The public beta opened at 11 a.m. on May 4, and before 12 o'clock passed, the first two servers "Radiance" and "Thunder" were close to the limit of bearing, and the company had to open a third server "Flame".

However, just after 14 p.m., the third server was also almost full.

If you don't open another server, it will affect the game experience, so the fourth server "Crazy Dragon" is online.

At 18 o'clock in the evening, the fifth server "Canghai" was launched, and at 20~22 o'clock in the evening, the first player peak arrived, and the server was under a lot of pressure.

On the first day of the open beta of the "Legend" game, Fengqu opened a total of ten servers, and each of them was full.

At 23:55 in the evening, the lights in the Fengqu network conference room were bright, and more than 30 employees had tired faces and bloodshot eyes, but they were full of energy, and even had a faint joy on their faces.

All the data on the first day of the open beta of the "Legend" game came out, and Jiang Haobo was listening to the work reports of the following employees.
