At 19:35 on November 28, Shangdi West Road, Haidian District, Beijing, in the Oriental Industrial Park......
It was dark outside the window, and most of the buildings in the park had become quiet, except for the 6th floor of the office building where the creative workshop was located, and half of the lights were on, and most of the people in Yuebai Studio did not leave, or sat in their seats listening to music downloaded from the computer, or read classic novels, chased new books, or played the hand-made "Legend" on the Chinese Literature Network (a Chinese writing website invested by Zhang Lexing, similar to the starting point), or simply came to the leisure area downstairs to exercise and play video games. Even a few people come together to play a small 3vs3 basketball game.
In a few hours, the running Legend will usher in its first major version upgrade, adding a series of new content such as faction warfare, and whether players will accept these new changes, and whether they will affect next month's fees, everything will be answered in the days or weeks after the version update. And now, everyone's attention in Yuebai Studio is focused on the upcoming version update work, although the preparations have been done, the verification has been done several times, and the necessary internal tests have been done many times, but after all, the actual replacement has not been really carried out, and no one can guarantee that there will be any accidents at that time.
Lv Yongcheng knows that today will be an important test for Yuebai Studio, if it can be successfully passed, then the next Yuebai Studio can be adjusted according to the plan, the original staff will be divided into two, some people continue to follow the follow-up update and technical maintenance of "Legend", while others will devote themselves to the development of new games after supplementing part of the manpower, after all, Yuebai Studio cannot be so big forever, and it is impossible for the creative workshop to rely only on "Legend" to support the faΓ§ade of online games.
The above means that under the premise of maintaining the strength of game development in the original field, investment in online games will be increased, and Lv Yongcheng understands that the Yuebai Studio that has gone ahead will face a good opportunity for development, according to the company's tradition, unless it is the initial stage, it will definitely not put the online game market on a company or studio, and there will definitely be a new online game development company established in the future, but the Yuebai Studio, which has started in advance, has accumulated certain advantages. Lv Yongcheng believes that as long as this team does not go the wrong way, the first professional online game development company within the group will be formed with Yuebai Studio as the team, which is an opportunity for the studio, and the same is true for him, just like the guy named Ren Haoqiang who entered the company relatively late, and now he has become the general manager of Guangzhou Tianyou, he feels that he can do it, but there was no good opportunity before, but now the opportunity has come.
Looking at the employees in the office who stayed for the update of "Legend", Lu Yongcheng's eyes showed a trace of fanaticism......
β¦β¦
Most of the offices in Fengyun Network's office building have turned off the lights, but the game's customer service department and technical support department are still brightly lit, and the GMs are patrolling online as usual, answering players' questions, or occasionally answering incoming calls for help, and sorting out the questions raised. Qiao Kefan, the manager of the game customer service department, did not sit in his office, but walked around in the bright office area of the customer service, the upgrade of "Legend" tonight is very important, which is related to whether the charging plan for next month can be implemented smoothly, and the game customer service department has deliberately strengthened the intensity of duty tonight in order to cooperate with the company's actions, and it is necessary to ensure the smooth transition of the system version.
Especially after the shutdown and maintenance begins, the answering of customer service calls is particularly important, after all, no one can guarantee that all players have heard about the version update, and there may be a few people who are ready to log in to the game at this inappropriate time, although the client will appear with appropriate prompts, but it is difficult to say that no one will call from a big customer to ask for help, so before the GM who takes over, no one in this group can leave, Qiao Kefan is ready to stay up late, he doesn't want his department to drop the chain at this critical time.
The lights are on in the technical support department, but there are only three or four people left in the office area, they are the department manager Wang Tianlei specially stayed to deal with technical problems, so as not to let no one answer when there is a situation in the game customer service department, as for him himself at this time is located in the underground computer room downstairs of the Oriental Netscape (a joint venture company established by the Oriental Industrial Group and the Ministry of Education four years ago, responsible for the construction and later operation and maintenance of the educational optical fiber network), there is a small area here that is divided for the use of Fengyun Network, and this is currently "Legend" of the host room. Wang Tianlei came with most of the employees of the technical support department and five or six people from Yuebai Studio, intending to prepare for the upgrade of the "Legend" version in a few hours.
In addition, several of Wang Tianlei's right-hand men have come to the "Legend" extension room in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places in advance, and when the "Legend" version is updated in a few hours, Wang Tianlei will first upgrade the "Legend" server on the side of the host room, if everything goes well, the host room server will automatically upgrade the relevant servers in the extension room remotely after the upgrade is completed, Through the DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) two 2.5G level line multiplexing, which are basically idle at night, the speed of remote upgrade is no less than operating directly in front of the server, and under normal circumstances, the extension room can even be without people, but Wang Tianlei still sent someone to rush to the local area with the data disc for the upgrade in order to be foolproof.
Wang Tianlei raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was already 20:12, and there were still 3 hours and 46 minutes before the version upgrade of "Legend......

At 1 o'clock on November 28, Huayuyuan Community, Xicheng District, Beijing......
Just a minute ago, when Qing Muchuan was communicating with "Tang Maomao" and others about who left behind the strange empty thatched hut in the Fanru Mountains, a line of words suddenly flew on the screen, just like the flying words that have sometimes been seen at the bottom of the TV screen, "Please pay attention!" The "Legend" game server will be shut down for maintenance at 0:00 on November 29th, and is expected to reopen at 8:00 on November 29th. β
A minute later, a guy who obviously never reads books or newspapers and cares about national affairs, "Lechuan Qiushui", suddenly burst out: "Why, why is it down for maintenance?" β
Immediately, a large number of symbols representing "vertigo" smashed into this unlucky ghost, and then under the "contempt" gaze of everyone, this unlucky "Lethe River Qiushui" heard the answer he wanted to know.
[Silent Sorbet] "I don't know, you're too Out, it's already been announced on the official website, today "Legend" is going to update the version, and the sect war will start after the server opens tomorrow. β
"What, people really don't know." β
[A small bench riding on a flat pole] "Oh! There are less than two hours to start the update, have you all ordered the update package? β
[Linchuan Muyu] "I have already downloaded the update package during the day, and I will install it when it will be offline." β
"I bought the CD at the newsstand at the door. β
[A sword shook Kyushu] "Opposite my house is the Oriental Industrial Park, and it is said that the game company that developed "Legend" is in it, hehe......"
γKaraokeγ"Envy, my kitten is super slow, and it will break, and there is no newspaper kiosk at the door, dizzy ......"
"Poor Kara, why don't you take the hard drive to my house and copy it." β
γKaraokeγ"Where is your home for the decoction?" β
γDecoction availableγ"Guangzhou Shipai"
γKaraokeγ"Faint to death, I'm in Beijing Heping"
"Don't you all like PK very much, why are you so enthusiastic about this new version?" β
[Silent Ice Cream] "You're out again, it's been said on the official website a long time ago, the new version will not only start the sect war, but also provide us players who don't like to fight with a safe map, those guys are in full swing, we can quietly go to the safe map to adventure, decryption, and don't delay." β
"Oh, what's so fun about the security map?" β
[Linchuan Muyu] "It's a lot.,The security map is about the same size as the map that's open now.,There should be everything.,It's just that you can't PK in it.,And it's said that there are some special areas that can complete hidden missions.γ β
"Oh, what is a hidden mission? β
γLinchuan Muyuγ"Halo...... Qiushui hasn't seen the official website of "Legend"? β
"My friend is out, I'll help him play for a while." β
[Linchuan Muyu] "No wonder, I'll give you a network address, http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx, you can go and see for yourself first, it's written on the official website." β
"Oh, then I'll leave for a while. β
Everyone unanimously made a gesture of saying goodbye, sent away the "Lichuan Autumn Water" like a curious baby, and continued to discuss together, the topic was related to the game at the beginning, and then gradually began to deviate from the direction, and some people even solemnly commented on the new "International Times" column of CCTV.
Qing Muchuan chatted for a while, saw that the time was not early, said goodbye to everyone, and went offline. She's not the kind of person who plays games day and night, that is, when she occasionally plays a new game, she will indulge in it for two or three days, because she thinks staying up late will hurt her skin.
β¦β¦
At 5 p.m. on October 28, in Madian Community, Haidian District, Beijing......
Ge Minghui looked at the computer screen energetically, 5 minutes ago, he had seen the offline prompt issued by the "Legend" system for the third time, but the task in his hand had reached the final link, and if it went well, it would take less than ten minutes to get it, so he didn't stop.
Ge Minghui hadn't touched the "Dark Light" recommended by a friend for two days, and he didn't even know where he had dropped the installation disc of the game, because the game was too simple. Ge Minghui had seen the "Knights of the Burning Dragon" before, and knew how to combine and exert the power in his hands, with the help of his friends, he pulled the pole to recruit a group of mercenaries, formed his own team, and then after a few days of training, by the way, he figured out the terrain around the village, and soon the few caves in the game and the level started by the palace were broken by him, and then he actually saw the clearance animation, at that moment, if it wasn't for the light on the external ISDN cat still flashing, He even wondered if he was playing a single-player game.
What made Ge Minghui a little crazy was that when the text and pictures in the animation were floated out, the warrior "Yihui" under his control reappeared in the middle of the village, the place was still the same place, and the map was still the same map, as if it was all floating clouds before, and nothing had happened. Ge Minghui originally thought that there should be some changes after clearing the game, but who knew that the expected new content did not appear, except for his character level and other columns of things, the others were exactly the same as when he first logged into the game, which means that if he still wants to continue playing, he has to continue to wander around the places that are already familiar and can no longer be cooked.
"Dark Light" brought Ge Minghui even less than when he used to jerk off, at least it would be more difficult to jerk off, and "Dark Light" didn't have any changes, wandering around the same place, playing the same level, repelling the same enemy, in addition to trying the cooperation of different troops, he really couldn't find other game fun.
So Ge Minghui defected from "Dark Light" to "Legend", and then quickly discovered the fun in it, at least the map of "Legend" is not at all comparable to the palm-sized piece of "Dark Light", and the version of the game will be upgraded after 0:00 tonight, it is said that a lot of new content will be added to it, compared to the unchanged appearance of "Dark Light" for 10,000 years, it can't even be called a "lightweight game".
β¦β¦
Time was beating minute by minute, and slowly came to 23:59, Wang Tianlei came to the monitoring computer to take a look, and the tens of thousands of online people on weekdays had slipped to close to zero, and only the last 23 accounts were not offline. He turned his head and shouted at the staff who were about to stop the game service and restart the server: "Wait two more minutes, and if these accounts are not offline, you can force them out of the line and then do it." β
More than a dozen staff members nodded, each found a chair to sit down, and continued to wait. Wang Tianlei pulled out a chair and sat in front of the monitoring computer, and the number of online people on the screen continued to decline, but when it reached single digits, it never moved again. Wang Tianlei waited until 0:00 and another minute passed, seeing that the number of people online still remained in single digits, he decisively made a gesture to the waiting staff, and the staff who were ready to go immediately pounced on their respective targets, lifted the lock state of the server, and began to operate according to the process. They need to stop the game service on the server first, then restart the server and update the "Legend" server-side program, and finally use the dedicated updater to upgrade the game's database, under normal circumstances, it takes about two hours to complete the upgrade of the server in the host room, it takes about an hour and a half to upgrade the server in the extension room through the network, and the test after the upgrade takes half an hour to 1 hour, and the rest of the time is used to maneuver buffer, so as not to have any accidents in the process of upgrading.
After everyone was busy crackling, a prompt appeared on the server display screen in the host room that the upgrade was being upgraded, and the upgrade progress bar was slowly growing from 0% to 100%, and the upgrade of "Legend" version 1.02 officially began......
