Chapter 344: WCG and Global Game Center
At the beginning of July, the closed beta of Dungeons & Warriors began for 1 week. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In mid-July, "Dungeons & Warriors" deleted the registration channel open to all players, and this closed beta lasted for half a month.
During the deleted closed beta period, in order to allow players to have more access to a series of game content such as high-level maps, equipment, plots, and skills, and make suggestions, Aurora Games has adjusted the difficulty of obtaining experience, props, and rare equipment.
To put it simply, there is no fatigue value during the closed beta test, and you don't need any bonus props to double your experience (including mission experience) The explosion rate is terrifying, and it is often a lot of rare equipment when it explodes, so that players can improve their level and obtain equipment in a very short time.
Anyway, in the end, the player data will be deleted, and the temporarily adjusted settings will return to normal, so the Aurora game will not lose anything at all.
The other side.
As we all know, the Aurora game will hold a WCG every August, and there will be a grand opening ceremony at the end of July.
The venue for the second edition of the WCG is no longer a temporary rental stadium, but a "global gaming center"
。
That's right, there are only a few areas of the "Global Game Center" that are still under construction, such as the new headquarters of Aurora Games.
However, both the game plaza and the 10,000-person e-sports hall have been built, and the interior decoration has been completed, and it can be opened to the public at any time.
Game Avenue began to attract investment a few months ago, of course, the review of Aurora Games is very strict, and the fact that it must be the game industry alone has stopped countless people.
However, the "Global Game Center" has been the focus of public opinion since its inception, and it is not small, and many players have heard of it to a greater or lesser extent. Coupled with the fact that the Aurora game defines it as a gaming mecca, it is definitely a place that attracts attention, even compared to those large tourist attractions. ,
The "Global Game Center" is built in a place like the Magic City, where every inch of land is at a premium, and with its unique significance, it stands to reason that the rent should be expensive, but in fact, the rent here is so cheap that people can't believe their eyes.
Aurora Games must have its reasons for setting such a cheap rent, one is to attract merchants and enterprises to settle in, and the other is to not want to make much money from this place.
Making money is secondary,
The game industry is not enough, the game culture is not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the expensive rent here is bound to cause a huge economic burden to these enterprises and businesses.
In fact, low rent is just one point that merchants and enterprises value.
The "Global Game Center" itself has the conditions of the right time, people and place, and the rapid development of the game industry and the policies to support the game industry are also being carried out all over the country.
Human: There are more and more gamers, and the group of gamers is not limited to the age group of teenagers, and the spending power of gamers is definitely not low.
Location: Magic City - China's top coastal international metropolis, if the capital is the political and cultural center of China, then the magic capital must be the economic and trade center.
The city itself is home to tens of millions of permanent residents, as well as countless people from all over the world and even abroad, and the city is one of the highest in the country in terms of annual visitors.
It's a place of great significance in its own right, as no one in the world has ever done this for a game area.
In the minds of players, this is like a holy place exclusive to them, and it is much more interesting than those 5A-level tourist attractions, so I believe that many players will come here with anticipation and enthusiasm even if they are thousands of miles away.
Ordinary citizens and foreign tourists may also be curious about him and walk into this new and creative place.
Rather than spending more money on an ordinary area elsewhere, these businesses and businesses should come here.
In addition, the "Global Game Center" is a key project created by Aurora Games, so it will not sit idly by, and will definitely try its best to promote and build momentum here.
It's not so good to put it in other places.
So far, 103 small game companies, 37 game studios, 12 medium-sized game companies, and 3 large game companies have settled in the game industry park.
These three large game companies include "Ali Games", that's right, "Alibaba" invested nearly one billion to set up a game company, and they also plan to come over to join in the fun, after all, Ye Le They are not only rent, the price is quite cheap, and so many game companies get together in the future, it is very likely that it will really become the holy land of the game industry in the future, in this case, of course, you have to settle in immediately!
Of course, this does not mean that the game industry park is full of all these game companies, but also other companies under the branches of the game industry, such as game media, magazines, game platform developers, game videos, game portals, game peripheral manufacturers, and game live streaming platforms..... Wait a minute.
The "Global Game Center" will be officially open to everyone on the eve of the opening ceremony, that is, the week before the WCG, Ye Le has already asked people to build momentum for this matter, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Since the start of the first WCG, Aurora Games has positioned itself as a global e-sports Olympic event, an electronic sports event organized in the form of the Olympic Games, and assumes the responsibility of communicating with the world's top e-sports players, conducting international exchanges, and becoming the pioneer of new sports forms.
After the success of last year's competition, the WCG World Esports Championship has received a lot of recognition and support in China and even around the world.
The second edition of WCG in China attracted thousands of players to participate in regional trials across the country, and the official website was visited by more than 10 million people in a short period of time.
Different from the first WCG, this WCG will be more formal, stricter, more prepared, more interesting, and more competitive.
Last year, there were no professional esports clubs born abroad, and even the team system was not clear, but this year is different, and the menacing foreign players will re-prove their strength on the field, and are destined to weave bright sparks on the stage of WCG.
This year, there will be more platforms to broadcast or rebroadcast WCG, and even a few foreign TV stations have traveled thousands of miles to China just to get the live broadcast and broadcast rights of WCG!
No domestic TV station dares to broadcast the WCG game, and some people have already been eyeing this piece of fat last night, and I have to say that these foreign TV stations have commendable courage and good vision.
The scale of this year's competition and the number of viewers of the competition will inevitably far exceed that of the first WCG, so Ye Le still needs to make sufficient preparations to present the style of "E-sports Olympiad" to players all over the world!
This year, nearly hundreds of thousands of players from 74 countries and regions signed up for the competition, and after a fierce competition, they finally selected their respective representative teams or players to travel thousands of miles to participate in the magic capital.
Compared with the previous WCG, the prize money of this year's WCG is also twice as much as the previous one.
Now the Aurora game is not what it used to be, and there is no shortage of money at all, so there is no need to leave a good image in front of players all over the world, Ye Leke does not want to turn back to the media to accuse him of picking the door.
At the same time as the competition began, SGP and some large video websites, including live broadcast platforms, jointly launched a pre-order viewing project, among the projects included in WCG, the game "CrossFire" was the most popular, reaching 2.07 million pre-orders, "NBA2017" ranked second with 1.55 million pre-orders, and "StarCraft" ranked third with 1.37 million.
Considering the call of foreign players this time, 5,000 tickets for the opening ceremony of Aurora Games were specially prepared for them, but they were all exhausted in the 6th minute of the pre-sale, which is enough to prove the enthusiasm of foreign players for WCG.
