Chapter 111 is faster than grabbing money

The publicity of many game websites made a lot of gamers pour into "World of Warcraft" on the night of the second day, Xiao Wu decided to open a second server after asking Cortana, although Cortana repeatedly promised that even if there were twice as many people online as the server, there would be no pressure, but Xiao Wu took into account that the map of "World of Warcraft" is only so big, and there are only so many tasks, if you add twice as many people, then although it will not be stuck, but the sight of people next to each other's heads will still affect the player's psychology after all. Therefore, it is still necessary to open a second new server. It's just that he plans to set up a new map in the future, but all players who have reached a certain level can transfer to that new map, and even in the future, when the servers of "World of Warcraft" are opened all over the world, players from all over the world can play in one large region.

"Jack, are you going back to China this summer?"

"No! I'm not going back this year!"

"What? Did you find your love in Huaxia?"

"Oh... I'm thoroughly in love with her now, and if I go home this summer, I'm going to have to part with her, knowing I've only been running my monthly card for two months. ”

"O'...... Wait a minute...... Jack: You've just been running a monthly card for two months, and does that have anything to do with being separated from her?"

"Oh my God! If I go back to China, then my two-month monthly card will be in vain, even though it is only half the full price. When I return to Huaxia, my current teammates will definitely leave me, because my rank has been lowered. Oh my God, in two months, they'll be twice as big as me!"

"Oh, oh, oh, Wait, Jack, wait, wait, oh my God, my head is covered in butter, can you tell me more about what happened? Didn't you find a lover in Huaxia? What kind of comrade-in-arms, what kind of rank, what's going on?"

“…… Willie, I forgot you didn't know about it. Sometimes when I play, I always subconsciously think that I am still in China. yes, I'm playing a game called World of Warcraft right now......"

"Is it really as fun as you say? It's not as good as your old favorite Eternal War?"

"That's for sure! Willy, if you've played it, I'm sure you'll love her too. It's a pity that the game is only available in China at the moment, and you know what? The game is now only available in five districts, each with half a million people online. Oh my God, you can't imagine what it's like to have 500,000 people online at the same time, and you can't imagine that 500,000 people are playing at the same time as if only one person is online!"

“……………………………………”

"World of Warcraft" entered the charging mode on the tenth day after the launch of the server, which has been noted on the official website. All players who register with a member account on the Ant Home website will enjoy a half-price discount, and the full price is 38 yuan per month. Yes, Xiao Wu adopts a monthly card charging model. In fact, compared with the 80 yuan monthly card of the national service and the Taiwanese service in the previous life, Xiao Wuding's price is really not expensive, and Xiao Wu also gave the members of the ant clan a half-price discount. Compared with the fees of some foreign games in Huaxia, it is seventy or eighty at every turn, and Xiao Wuding's price is simply a welfare. However, Xiao Wu is still worried that there will be a large loss of players after the game is charged.

The first area to be opened has to bear the test of charging first, therefore, Xiao Wu checked the number of people who have been playing the game at half past eight in the evening, 500673, this number makes Xiao Wu a little dizzy, there are still 500,000 people online, that is to say, these 500,000 people are all charged with monthly cards to play, I damn it! The charm of this "World of Warcraft" is so great?

After being shocked, Xiao Wu thought of the monthly card income of these 500,000 people, even if these 500,000 people are all players of the ant clan, then half of the 38 yuan is 19 yuan, and if you count 20 yuan, 500,000 people are ...... 10 million! 10 million in one night, Xiao Wu is really a little dizzy, this is not much worse than his busy three months of writing songs and books!

With an income of nearly 10 million per day, "World of Warcraft" has only opened five districts at present, which means that if nothing else, such an income can be collected for five consecutive days. And then a second one a month later, of course that's built on the fact that there are still so many people playing a month later. After five days, the money is collected by the in-game trading system. And some peripheral products, Xiao Wu didn't think of doing it yet, because when it comes to this, it will involve a lot of things, and at present, Xiao Wu is people. Simply do a good job of the game first, and wait until the game can run abroad before considering these, anyway, the world's copyright awareness is good, and the fight against piracy is very strict, and I am not afraid that others will preemptively make game peripheral products.

Regarding the speed of collecting money in "World of Warcraft", Xiao Wu couldn't help but want to pull the idea of another game, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this idea for the time being. The main reason is that there is still no one to manage it. It's okay to rely on only Cortana's intelligent life to manage a game, but if there are too many, I'm afraid Cortana won't be able to bear it. And for a company with an annual revenue of hundreds of millions, no one will be suspected sooner or later when it appears in reality. Let's wait until later, and wait for the real-life management team to be established.

On the day of the charge of "World of Warcraft", many game website game development companies are also paying attention, no way, who made him the hottest game on the market at present, the game development company is concerned about how many people will charge money to play this game when it enters the charging mode, and the game website is concerned about the news of this game. So when Blizzard announced the number of people online after the game was charged, the entire gaming industry was in an uproar.

The game website hurriedly analyzed and made the news, and the game development company was dumbfounded, thinking: the wolf is coming.

Some foreign game development companies are also deeply touched, since the launch of the game they produced "World of Warcraft", the number of online players has dropped significantly, and the rest are some hardcore players. Among them, "The Eternal War" is the most obvious. Before the operation of "World of Warcraft", the total number of online users in the ten regions of the "Eternal War" national server was 1.5 million, and after the operation of "World of Warcraft", there were only less than 500,000 people, and nearly 1 million players were attracted by "World of Warcraft". And this is just one game of "Eternal War", counting the loss of some other smaller Magic online game players, a large part of the players of "World of Warcraft" are actually cut from these games.

However, the loss of players in domestic games is not much, of course, it cannot be said that there is nothing, compared with the loss of hundreds of thousands of players in foreign games, the loss of tens of thousands of domestic games is just a drizzle. Therefore, domestic game companies are just envious and jealous but not hateful, and some companies still have the psychology of schadenfreude, after all, before this, the domestic game market was divided into a large share by foreign companies, and now it is ...... Hehehehehe
