Chapter Eighty-Three: Overcoming the Crisis
After Lin Feng and the others came back to their senses from the wonderful breakfast just now, they coughed lightly and announced their decision.
"I've decided not to roll back, Legends will remain in its current state and relaunch in three days. I plan to vote on the remaining gold and equipment on the official website, and players will decide what to do with it. Lin Feng said.
"It's not impossible to do this, and it's wise for players to decide to intercept the remaining equipment and gold, but the full compensation for Millennium and Paradise may cause emotional resistance among players. Wu Zhaopu was very appreciative of Lin Feng's proposal, but he was also very worried about the comprehensive compensation measures announced by "Millennium" and "Heaven".
Originally, if there were no troubles between these two companies, players should gladly accept the results of Lin Feng's treatment, but with the comparison of the comprehensive compensation proposed by these two companies, I am afraid that many players who have lost high-level equipment will not be reluctant.
Lin Feng sighed helplessly, these two companies are indeed hateful, and at the critical moment, they made themselves helpless by ignoring themselves like this.
"A strong man has a broken arm, we can only choose this way. After all, compared to our registered members, there are only a few players who have suffered from account theft this time, and it is the reason why they used illegal plug-ins. If you do something wrong, you must bear the consequences. Lin Feng said resolutely.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded firmly.
"What about the more than 4.3 million stolen money of Dingdang.com?" Liu Yingying frowned and said, this problem is more of a headache. If you are not careful, the image and popularity that Dingdang has worked so hard to build will be ruined.
"Call the police! and let the police deal with it!" Lin Feng said categorically.
"Call the police!!" Everyone was stunned, but then applauded.
In everyone's minds, they have always thought that this incident is an internal matter of the "second shijie" and "dingdong network", and they have never thought of calling the police. At this time, Lin Feng proposed to call the police and hand it over to the police to deal with, which can indeed hand over this hot potato to the police to deal with, not only to get rid of the suspicion of Dingdang's rebellion, but also to use this incident to establish a fair and strict image of Dingdang.com.
After continuing to discuss some details, Lin Feng attended the temporary press conference with Liu Yingying, CEO of Dingdang.com, Wu Zhaopu, CEO of "Second Shijie", Cui Mingze, chief Jishu officer, and Liu Chengfeng, captain of the Shanghai Pudong District Criminal Police Brigade.
Although only one day and one night have passed, the "theft of the number gate" incident has caused a sensation throughout the country. In this emerging online game market, such a large-scale number theft incident broke out, and the amount of money involved was huge, setting a record for online games, and all reporters were like cats smelling fishy, crowded to the press conference early, waiting for the arrival of Lin Feng and others.
This is definitely a piece of news worth highlighting!
On February 15, at 9:30 a.m., the press conference was held on time.
It was not the first time that Lin Feng had attended this press conference, looking at the bustling reporters in the audience, he was not the slightest nervous, and after taking a deep breath, he gently slapped the microphone and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this 'number theft' incident, after our company has been identified, belongs to a trap set by some lawbreakers in order to seek personal gain. The players who suffered losses, because they were greedy for a small bargain, used a software called "Legend Perfect Plug-in", which was used by criminals, and eventually led to the loss of equipment and gold coins of the game account. On behalf of all the employees of 'Second Shijie', I would like to express my deep regret. Lin Feng said word by word.
"We urge players not to use any cheats, otherwise we will not be responsible for any losses. This time, the criminals stole the number and generated the transaction on the Dingdang network, amounting to more than 430 yuan, and we have handed over the stolen money to the public security organs for processing. We have also reported this incident, and everything will be resolved by the public security organs. After Lin Feng finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Liu Yingying and others, who were responsible for the reporter's questions.
Lin Feng's speech was like a bomb thrown into a fish pond, and the reporters were shocked and asked questions one after another. This incident actually involved the police, and it is also the first time in the domestic online game market, and I am afraid that there will be a basis for online game companies to deal with similar incidents in the future.
News, definitely big news!
After the press conference, Lin Feng also announced the results of the matter on the official website. And set up a voting option on the official website about the handling of intercepted equipment and gold, giving players three days to vote. Three days later, "Legend" will start at 12 noon sharp, and the intercepted equipment and gold will be compensated according to the number of voters. At the same time, it also provides a small program that can detect whether there are similar viruses and Trojans in the computer for players to download.
The announcement of the results of the processing immediately aroused strong resistance from the players who pirated the number. More than 300,000 players have launched strong criticism and accusations against "Second Shijie" in all forums, and have taken "Millennium" and "Paradise" as examples, demanding full compensation from "Second Shijie". All of a sudden, the Internet was full of insults, and many excited players even claimed that they would never play any of the online games of "Legend" and "Second Shijie" again.
However, as Lin Feng expected, although the number of more than 300,000 players is terrifying, it is insignificant compared to the more than 50 million players registered in "Legend". Many sensible and sensible players refuted the hysterical behavior of these number thieves, believing that it was all their own humiliation, and that they would not have suffered such losses if they did not use cheats, and that decisions like "second shijie" would protect the interests of all players to the greatest extent.
The two factions once again stood on opposite sides and abused each other, but it was obvious that the "royalist" faction was outnumbered, and Lin Feng's behind-the-scenes promoters scolded the number thief players.
In just three days, tens of millions of downloads have been made, and many people have detected that the machine also contains similar viruses and Trojans. If it weren't Valentine's Day, and these players didn't turn on the computer for a date, I'm afraid that the number of players suffering from the "Thief Gate" incident would be several times greater.
As a result, many players have called for "Second Shijie" to introduce measures to protect player accounts and prevent them from suffering losses. This appeal is exactly what Lin Feng wants, and Lin Feng immediately announced that he will launch measures that can perfectly protect player accounts within a week, so please rest assured. During this period, players are expected not to open any unknown websites and software to prevent poisoning.
Within a week, in order to protect his account, the number of views on some illegal websites dropped significantly, and Lin Feng could be regarded as doing something good for the society.
The handling of more than 4.3 million stolen money of Dingdang.com, after being handed over to the police, also made the buyers and sellers of Dingdang.com who were in turmoil because of this incident temporarily relax. Although there are also objections to the freedom of buying and selling, Dingdang has no right to withhold the seller's due payment, most buyers still strongly agree with this approach, believing that their buyers will feel more comfortable shopping on Dingdang.
In the end, except for a few sellers with ulterior motives who lodged a strong protest, most of the sellers also agreed with Lin Feng's handling method. It is believed that this can stabilize the online shopping market of Dingdang, give confidence to buyers, and naturally bring business to sellers.
As for the buyers who bought this cheap and superb equipment, Lin Feng reassured them in the name of the innocence of those who did not know. After all, if it is handled, I am afraid that a large number of players will not choose to trade on Dingdang in the future, which is not good for Dingdang. After all, if you are looking for trouble with the buyer, it is better to grasp the source and directly hold the seller accountable.
In the end, although the "theft of the door" incident went through many waves, it finally survived the crisis. However, whether players still love "Legends" depends on the number of people online when it starts at 12 noon on February 18.
