Chapter Seventy-Eight: Response
"Well, I think that after this incident, our company should indeed establish a corresponding prevention mechanism, such as how to deal with players using bugs to brush money or equipment, how to deal with players using plug-ins, etc., and should establish relevant plans. "After discovering this problem, Wu Kang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and the main focus of his previous work was on the research and development of game content.www.biquge.info
"I'm also in favor of rewarding players who post on the forums with points, as this kind of encouragement will allow players to post on the forums as soon as they learn of bugs. The combination of rewards and punishments is also conducive to the acceptance of players. Li Wei had been thinking of a similar approach before.
"What are we going to do with other players of other classes who have been injured in the forum?" Fan Zhiyi thought of another point.
"There are many ways to deal with this, such as taking this opportunity to design an event that gives players benefits, receiving double experience cards, or other ways." Jian Hao feels that the needs of players are easy to meet in many cases, and the key is that the company should pay attention to players.
"Also, if it is to prevent cheating, the company's technology needs to be more vigorous in this regard, because once the game becomes popular, it is inevitable that someone will study cheating. On the technical side, if a firewall can be effectively established, it is also good to reduce the progress of R&D plug-ins. Jian Hao continued to say some opinions.
"If you plan here, you can start working on the case from now on, and you can also use this as a reference, and try not to provide too much space from the source of the design, especially the gold mining studio." Jian Hao thought of many crazy studios in his previous life, and the impact on the game itself was great.
"What is a gold strike studio?" Fan Zhiyi was a little puzzled when he heard this term.
"The simplest explanation is to sell valuable things in the game for money, including gold, equipment, etc. The purpose of their games is not to be entertained, but to use it as a tool to make money. The market for this piece is actually quite large, think about it, the gold coins in our game, assuming that the average person earns 5,000 gold in 1 hour on average, then if the gold studio sells 20 yuan and 10,000 gold, do you guess the player will buy it? Not all players have that much time, and not all players can earn 5,000 gold in 1 hour, which creates a demand. If this chain is large enough, it is enough to affect the in-game economic system. Jian Hao remembered some friends who played games in his previous life, and some people were doing this business.
In particular, the gold mining studio of the game "World of Warcraft" did make a lot of money at the beginning, and even we made a name abroad. The members of the gold strike studio were named "GoldFarmer" abroad, and they were also opposed by foreign players.
In the previous life, in 2005, the gold swiping plug-in began to become popular in the gold mining studio of Warcraft American clothing, and hunters could brush up to 2000 gold coins in one night, which was very crazy. The price of gold coins has also plummeted, market prices have begun to be chaotic, and the influx of massive domestic gold diggers has also reached its peak in the destruction of the WOW game environment in the United States.
U.S. players launched large-scale complaints and protests against Blizzard, which also forced Blizzard to take a series of drastic measures to destroy the spread of gold mining studios in the U.S. server.
This move has also led to the destruction of many game studios in China, and a large number of IP accounts have been directly blocked, and every full-level account requires a relatively large cost. In addition, at this time, Blizzard also hired a group of workers to observe and verify the players in the game, verify suspicious players, and ban accounts if they fail or have no response.
"No wonder I see that there are already some people selling in-game currency and equipment in the game, these should be gold mining studios, right?" Fan Zhiyi heard Jian Hao's explanation, combined with some phenomena he usually observed in the game, and expressed his opinion.
"Li Wei, do you have any thoughts on this?" Wu Kang wanted to hear Li Wei's opinion, and Li Wei, as the director of operations, should have the most insight in this regard.
"Although "Legend of Blood" is still very popular, if there are no private servers, plug-ins and other bugs, it will not be just what it is now. However, its background is not comparable to ordinary games, and general plug-ins and bugs can make many players give up a game, so it is very necessary for us to plan for a rainy day now. As an operations director, Li Wei is very distressed about this phenomenon, but he will definitely encounter such problems.
If a game doesn't have a cheat, then there is only one possibility, and that is that the game doesn't make people who can write cheats look at it, and there aren't many players.
"Regarding the plan, Haozi and Li Wei have said some things just now, so let's summarize what everyone said and see how we can do this from several aspects. But now solve the current problem, just follow what you just discussed, give that player a point card reward, and get double experience pills for free on the whole server. Wu Kang made a final summary, this is not something that can be done well at once.
After the meeting ended, Jian Hao stayed for a while and left the company, leaving only the people in the company's operation department still busy.
"Have you seen the official announcement of "War of the Three Kingdoms"? The kid who reported the bug actually got a reward of five point cards, and I also knew the bug, and I knew that I would report it as soon as possible. ”
"It turns out that the elite boss drops 100% of the best equipment, but it's a pity that my level is not enough, and I can't beat such a high-level boss."
"No matter what the reason, anyway, I think this company is very sincere, it's a good thing to know that mistakes can be corrected, not to mention that every player can go to receive double experience pills, it's really a pie-in-the-world thing."
……
The day after the plan was issued, most of the complaints in the forum disappeared, which was already a relatively ideal result. Moreover, Li Wei also deliberately asked the operation specialist to interview the players who received the point card rewards, wrote a long interview diary, and published it on major game forum websites through friends.
Wu Kang is still thinking about the future response plan, and a plan like this cannot be achieved overnight, it must be a long-term process.
