Chapter 172 Virtual Card Sales Platform
July 23, the second day of the trial operation of "Legend 2". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the outside world does not know the data of "Legend 2", it can still see the popularity of "Legend 2" from many aspects.
"Stone Age" and "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" fell to less than 1,000 online people yesterday, and this alone is enough to shock the outside world.
Although these two games have entered their twilight years, no matter how bad they are, there are still 10,000 or 20,000 online people.
"Legend 2" has just started trial operation, and it has fallen to less than 1,000 online people, which is still a little unbearable to look at.
Then, what surprised the media even more.
Another game operator, Huacai, released news without warning yesterday evening, postponing the "Three Kingdoms Century", which was originally planned to be launched at the end of July, as for the specific launch time, it will be announced separately!
Although Huacai didn't say what was going on, the media thought with their toes, and they could also think that Huacai was temporarily avoiding the edge of "Legend 2"!
Huacai is not an unknown small company, the "King of Kings" operated back then, but the undisputed king of China's first generation of online games!
Such an operator has to make a concession move, which shows the popularity and strength of "Legend 2" in the online game market!
Many media involuntarily exclaimed, "Legend 2" may become another online game market hegemon after "King of Kings" and "Stone Age"!
Unlike the paper media, which trumpets WeChat, the three major portals seem to be discussed, and it is difficult to even see the words legend and WeChat on their respective news platforms.
Even if there are one or two articles, they are also commenting on the news that micro-news induces teenagers to become addicted to Internet addiction, this kind of news that attracts black news to micro-messages.
The three major portals can now be regarded as clear that Weixin is not an Internet company that is content with the status quo.
After establishing its hegemony in the field of instant messaging, it immediately conquered other areas.
First of all, online games, I heard that the next step will be portals.
This is the main business of the three major portals, will they watch their opponents take away their own market share from their own plates?
This is something that is absolutely not allowed!
WeChat's ambitions have been revealed, and the next step is to attack the hegemony of their rule!
If the three major portals still ignore this, Weixin will definitely take advantage of this to become bigger.
Even if they come out of the Internet winter, the era will not be their original era!
However, the threat they can play to Weixin now is very small, at most it is just to discredit Weixi.
Su Wen scoffed at this behavior of the three major portals, and they didn't want to think about it, when they saw that Weixin made money in the field of instant messaging, didn't they also get involved in the field of instant messaging and compete with WeChat?
This is a typical mentality of the superior who only allows the governor to set fires and does not allow the people to light lamps!
24 hours after the trial operation of "Legend 2".
The number of players who have landed in Legend 2 has reached 1.7 million!
Because it is a one-click login without registration, it means that "Legend 2" already has 1.7 million users!
As for the highest number of real-time online users, it has reached 480,000 people!
Directly break the Guinness World Record of 450,000 real-time online people in online games previously held by Korean sticks!
This is not something to be congratulated, "Legend 2" is still in trial operation, and this data is not yet accurate!
Only when it is officially launched, these real-time online people can be included in the scope of inspection!
In addition, if you think about the population base of the Korean stick, and then think about the population base of the Celestial Empire, this achievement is a bit not worth mentioning!
Seeing that the trial operation was so popular, Su Wen also began to prepare for the official launch of "Legend 2".
The official launch date of "Legend 2" is tentatively planned for August 15th!
This time happens to be in the summer vacation, and it is also a Saturday, so both students and office workers have time to surf the Internet.
The launch date has been drawn up, and the work of how to charge players has to begin.
Online games have come to this day and belong to the third generation, that is, the concept of massively multiplayer online.
It is no longer the same as before, relying on a single service provider and service platform, but directly connected to the Internet!
As for how to charge players, the early Internet gold diggers began to think about this question very early.
At the beginning, this problem troubled many online game agents and operators, until the emergence of Huayi Agency's "Stone Age", which pioneered the WGS point charging system, which provided a lot of reference for later online game charging.
Point charging has also become the mainstream charging mode of online games in this era.
The physical point card also came into being at this node.
However, Shanda did not use physical point cards that year, but handed over the charging task to the agent, Hengan Network.
Hengan Network was implementing a kind of original online sales model, online virtual card sales, shielding many deficiencies of physical cards, with high efficiency, security, low sales costs, this novel sales method, the promotion of "Legend 2", also played a great role.
Su Wen didn't want to hand over the charging task to the agent, because it would take away part of the profit from the agent.
Weixin now has a mature payment channel, and you can build a virtual card sales platform by yourself.
Moreover, Weixin also has Q coins, a virtual currency that is convenient for recharging, and you can also exchange Q coins for point cards to enhance the convenience of players!
As for the 35 yuan for 120 hours set out by Shanda in his previous life, Su Wen didn't want to make a change.
Because of Shanda's success, Su Wen has been told that this is a charging model that players can accept!
Just after the regular meeting with the core members, Su Wen received a call from Sister Qin, who had been in contact for more than ten days.
For this woman, Su Wen only felt a headache, but he couldn't help answering her call, because he still owed her a favor.
connected the phone, and Sister Qin's voice came from the other end of the phone. "There's a drinking party tonight, my brother-in-law is holding it, are you interested in coming over?"
Su Wen didn't answer directly, but asked. "Is this a favor for you?"
Sister Qin on the other end of the phone laughed happily and said. "There will be a lot of celebrities in the business world coming over, this is a good opportunity for you to expand your network, if you don't appreciate me, forget it, why do you keep thinking about returning my favor?"
Business celebrities?
The connections are indeed what Su Wen lacks at present, otherwise the difficulties that Li Shicheng encountered last time might be solved with a phone call, and there would be no need to go to Sister Qin at all.
Su Wen hesitated in his heart before asking on the phone. "Where?"
"No. 1 Dijing Garden, my brother-in-law's mansion!"
"Okay, I'll be there"
