Chapter 362: Public Enemy of the Industry
Within an hour of launch, the number of registrations exceeded 50,000.
Within two hours of launch, the number of registrations exceeded 150,000.
Within six hours of launch, the number of registrations exceeded 500,000.
At 12 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the number of registrations exceeded 2 million, and the highest number of concurrent online people exceeded 300,000.
This number completely stunned the major online game companies, you know, "Glory of Kings" has only been online for one day, to be exact, it has only been online for twelve hours, and it has achieved such ungodly results, who else can stop its rise?
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, "Honor of Kings" continued to gain momentum, with the number of registrations exceeding 5 million, and the highest number of simultaneous online users exceeding 550,000.
This is not the most critical, the most important thing is that "Honor of Kings" is actually free!
After a day of fermentation, "Honor of Kings" broke the industry practice and implemented free online games, which completely shocked the online game industry of the Celestial Empire. All kinds of stunned, all kinds of scolding, all kinds of ridicule came to the face.
……
Shengda Network.
"I'll just say that the Radiant Game is a-stirring stick, and they can't see us making money."
"Free online games, games will be free in the future, who wants to spend a lot of effort to develop a good game?".
"We have to consider a joint ban on Shining Games, and no one is allowed to cooperate with them."
"It seems that they don't have any cooperation with any game company now.,If you have to say that there is cooperation, it's Penguin Company and Du Niang.,But these two companies are not something we can block.。
"Gnawing dad, a good holiday is not what they toss."
"Our World of Legends online seems to have dropped a bit on both days."
"Is Korn Games going against the whole industry?"
……
The Ninth City.
"Sure enough, if it's not a hit, it's a blockbuster."
"Yes, we just obtained the exclusive agency operation rights of "World of Warcraft" in the Celestial Empire last year, and we plan to open the beta in April this year, I don't know if it will be affected."
"It's impossible to have no impact at all, I just hope that Glorious Games won't make the profiteering online game industry a loss."
"No, although the game is free, there is still a fee for props."
"This depends on the profitability of "Honor of Kings", the company has arranged for developers to try out "Honor of Kings", if this model can really make money, we should also consider following up."
……
NetEase Games.
"Arrange personnel to closely follow up the situation of "Honor of Kings", I want to grasp the first-hand news."
"Okay, we've let some of the people who are on vacation follow up at home, and the development department and the marketing department have arranged for multiple people to experience "Honor of Kings".
"Glorious Games has opened another door for everyone, and it can't be closed."
"Yes, in the past, it was all charged by point cards, but now it has changed to a prop charging model, and I don't know how big the difference between the two methods is."
"Look, it won't be long before news comes out."
……
Although the tearing of Guanghui Games and various companies has nothing to do with Penguin Games, Boss Ma, who is far away in Shenzhen, has a very sensitive sense of smell and feels that the spring of Celestial Empire online games is coming. Quickly instructed Penguin Games to start the development of the company's first online game, Penguin Fantasy. As the first online game under Penguin, this game was originally launched a few months late, but Boss Ma couldn't wait when he saw the popularity of "Honor of Kings", and started Penguin's journey in the online game industry in advance.
……
At a time when online game companies are constantly discussing Glorious Games and "Honor of Kings". More people on the Internet are paying attention to "Seeing and Not Seeing", which indirectly drives the attention of Guanghui Games.
At present, the number of fans of Guanghui Games on the Guanghui Weibo public account has exceeded 3 million, and it is still increasing rapidly in the past two days.
Many people are speculating about the author of the poem "Seeing and Not Seeing", and the related discussion has started on Guanghui Weibo and spread to the cultural circle.
In recent years, the Celestial Empire has lacked well-known poetic works, and in this environment, "Seeing and Not Seeing" has received more widespread attention.
Especially the various imitations of netizens, in just two days, almost all netizens have seen this poem or the adapted poem.
Even the public security organs of a certain city imitated the language and style of "Seeing and Not Seeing" and published a message on its official website, urging the fugitives to surrender themselves: "If you flee or not, the matter will be there, and it will not change." You run, or you don't run, the net is there, and you can't pull it away. If you want to, or if you don't want to, the law is there, impartial. You turn yourself in, or you don't turn yourself in, the police are there, and they won't give up. It's good to surrender as soon as possible, or, to abscond and be bored all day long. ”
……
"Jiang Hui, did you write this poem?" asked He Ling.
"Haha, what do you think it is, if not, it's not", Jiang Hui said with a haha.
"Is that true or not? Everyone on the Internet says they haven't read this poem," He Ling said.
"Even if it's it", Jiang Hui had to be cheeky and say that he wrote it himself.
"Then why have I never seen you write poetry before?", He Ling asked.
"Poetry and poetry, poetry and song are the same, I haven't written a lot of songs, so it's not strange to have a poem now," Jiang Hui said.
……
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, on the fifth day of the launch of "Glory of Kings", when Jiang Hui was about to return to his hometown, the number of registered people officially exceeded 10 million, and the highest number of online users exceeded 800,000. It set a new record for the number of people online at the same time in the Celestial Empire online game.
Although in 2002, the highest number of simultaneous online users of "Legend" exceeded 600,000. In 2003, all the games of Shengda Network combined were the highest, and the number of online users exceeded one million. But until the beginning of 2005, no single game had more than 800,000 simultaneous online users. Radiant Games: This is a complete mess up of the pattern of online games in the Celestial Empire.
To measure the popularity of an online game, the highest number of concurrent users is a very important indicator. It represents the playfulness and attractiveness of the game to a certain extent.
Another important measure of a game's success is profitability.
The income of "Honor of Kings" on the day of its launch was actually not much, only more than 600,000, but it increased rapidly from the second day.
One and a half million.
Three and a half million.
Million.
Nine million.
On the fifth day of the launch, the prop fee has reached as much as nine million, and I don't know how I would feel if this number was known by Shengda Network and the Ninth City Lighting Company.
In order not to irritate everyone, Jiang Hui asked the finance department to keep the income of "Glory of Kings" confidential, so that outsiders could not grasp the accurate income situation.
However, seeing that the props of "Honor of Kings" are selling so well, it is estimated that other game companies can also guess that Glory Games is released.
