Chapter 292: The Legend of the Swordsman of the West Mountain is open beta
Of course, the Japanese government could not see the pride of the Japanese nation, Sony and Nintendo, in trouble, let alone see these two companies being taken advantage of by other companies, so the Japanese cabinet quickly passed a resolution to provide Sony and Nintendo with loans of 100 billion yen, which is about 6.1 billion yuan, which is considered well-intentioned.
With this large loan, Sony and Nintendo quickly stabilized their position, and the trade-in activity was in full swing, and for the time being, they were only facing their own old consoles. With the exception of some players who are interested in switching to Xbox, quite a few players have returned to the arms of these two companies.
Sony and Nintendo's move can be regarded as a little help to the Mythical Group, if they stick to the original trade-in price, although there will be many players turning to the Xbox camp, but the Mythical Group's capital chain will not be able to hold up first. Mythical Group is not a big-boggernaut like Microsoft, and it is not easy to maintain the current operation, and it is simply impossible to fill the bottomless pit of Xbox.
After such a fuss, Sony, Nintendo and Xbox's three major console platforms have returned to their previous three-legged appearance, and no one can take anyone for the time being, which means that Sony and Nintendo's plan to seize the market when the mythical group's acquisition of Xbox is not stable has failed.
Iwata Satoshi and Kazuo Hirai saw that he was planning to change such a result, and he was probably so depressed that he vomited three liters of blood, right?
Seeing that Xbox's position had been completely consolidated, the Mythical Group quickly shifted its focus to another thing, that is, the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan, which had been tested for nearly half a year, officially opened the public beta.
Since the test was opened in October last year, the Legend of the West Mountain Swordsman has opened a total of three tests in the past six months, and each test is about two months, and many bugs have been found by players. Now that the time is ripe, and many players are calling for Xishanju to open the public beta as soon as possible, Xu Qing opened the public beta of Xishan Swordsman on April 5, 2016 after reporting Li Haoyu's consent.
When the news came, countless long-awaited players immediately cheered.
Although the skills of the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan were born from the Sword of Lingyun, this is a Xianxia game, which is stronger than the Sword of Lingyun in terms of the gorgeousness of skills, the rich diversity of mounts, the expressiveness of combat, and the ability to fly with a sword, which makes many players who are looking forward to the orthodox Xianxia game very much looking forward to it.
It's not that the game Lingyun Sword is bad, it's because Xianxia games are much more brilliant than martial arts games in nature, which is also the reason why online novels began to fall rapidly after the emergence of Xianxia novels.
Now most of the players who play Lingyun Sword are post-80s, and there are a few post-70s and post-90s, these players all say that they grew up reading martial arts novels and have a special feeling for martial arts. Of course, it is not excluded that there are some players who have not read martial arts novels and just come to play games.
At 10 o'clock in the morning on April 5, 2016, basically all the games of the Mythical Group were selected at 10 o'clock in the morning, and many players have already found this rule, so when there is still half an hour before 10 o'clock, many players have logged in to the game, entered the mythical account and password, and quietly waited for the game to open.
At 9:59, players have already begun to click the button to enter the game, hoping that they can enter the game as soon as possible.
At the headquarters of the Mythical Group, Deng Bin took the people from the Technical Department with a serious face to check the equipment for the last time, and after checking that it was correct, Deng Bin finally pressed the button of the open server.
The Lingyun game server seemed to let out a "boom", and countless data torrents poured into the fifty servers prepared for the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan, and for a moment, the Lingyun game server, which was claimed to have more than ten times the load capacity of the ordinary game server, also seemed to be down because they could not withstand so many access requirements.
"The server is working stably."
"The server data traffic is normal, and no abnormal access data has been found for the time being."
"Half a million people online...... It's already 800,000...... Now it's over the one million mark......"
Everyone in the technical department couldn't help cheering, everything was normal in the open beta of the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan, and the number of online users had exceeded one million within three hours of the opening of the service, which seemed to be not far behind the Sword of Lingyun, Deng Bin and they seemed to have seen an RPG terminal game with more than two million online people.
Deng Bin immediately spread the news to various departments of the company with Myth Management Software, which made the employees of Myth Group very happy. The mythical group is getting bigger and bigger, and the welfare of their employees will also rise, and Chairman Li Haoyu is not a stingy person. Especially those people in Xishanju, seeing that the legend of Xishan Swordsman is so popular, how can they not be happy when they think that all the profits in the first month of official operation promised by Li Haoyu are their bonuses?
Li Haoyu saw that the Xishan Swordsman was popular across the board, and immediately generously invited all the employees of the headquarters to "take a meal", even if the employees who stayed behind also had the benefits of supper and the bonus increase of the month, which really made the employees of the Mythical Group feel glad that they could work here, and it was already good if the boss of other companies did not deduct his salary and bonus, let alone treat him or something.
Although they repeatedly overestimated the attractiveness of the game to players, they still didn't expect to be able to compare it with the data of Lingyun Sword produced by Mythic Studio on the first day of service, which made many people lose their glasses.
"The number of online users exceeded one million on the first day of the open beta of Xishan Swordsman, who can stop the hegemony of the Mythical Group in the field of Chinese RPG games?"
17173, which has been low-key for a long time, published this article, in addition to marveling at the attraction of the RPG games of the Mythical Group to players, saying that the RPG field is about to become the self-cultivation field of the Mythical Group. Another meaning is to encourage some game companies to compete with the Mythical Group in the field of RPG games, and perhaps Sohu Changyou, a subsidiary of Sohu, the owner of 17173, can still occupy a place in the land of RPG games.
In the past, Sohu Changyou, which relied on Tianlong Babu OL and sequels to be majestic in the Chinese game industry, has now tasted the bitter fruit, and the number of online users of the new Tianlong Babu has dropped to a fairly low level since the appearance of Lingyun Sword.
Now the emergence of the Legend of the Swordsman of Xishan has made several games of Sohu Changyou a ghost suit, and Sohu Changyou has to develop an action game and a turn-based game to barely maintain operations, and the current boss of Sohu, Zhang Chaoyang, is already considering whether to let Sohu withdraw from the game industry.
