In fact, free games don't need too many people, only hundreds of thousands of people need to be online at the same time, and he can generate enough profits.

The reason why Peacock King went out of business cannot be entirely attributed to the fact that he has too few online users.

There is another reason, and it is also because of the way the Peacock King props are charged, there is a problem.

It's very simple, what free games rely on to make money, rely on props to make money.

However, props make money and there are also modes of props making money.

It's impossible, if you sell equipment, sell levels, and sell a lot of auxiliary products in it, this game will become popular.

He, too, has his own mode of operation.

However, in any case, to make a game profitable, whether it is free or paid, the number of people online at the same time directly affects the future profitability of a game. Moreover, Zhang Ning knows that there are too many rich and handsome people in this world, even if this game does not cost money, they will invest countless funds in this game. Just like the legend of Jin Gu Qunxia, after Zhang Ning spent 100,000 yuan to buy the blood-drinking sword, the Yitian Sword behind it set a record for Zhang Ning's previous transactions.

Not to mention, for free-to-play games, he does his best to let RMB players spend as much as they want.

"This is the charging model for free-to-play games that I wrote about at the beginning, so take a look."

Tong Lei took the information written by Zhang Ning and read it carefully.

Items and decorations are charged, including: hats, clothes, guns, armbands......

This ornament has no additional attributes, only a decorative effect.

VIP Membership Privileges: Includes: opening larger rooms, preventing kicks, double experience, member-only logo......

Game equipment items: advanced equipment, special equipment, unique equipment...... Wait a minute.

One prop charging model after another shocked Tong Lei.

"Mr. Zhang, you actually moved the VIP members in the QQ game to the online game."

In Tong Lei's heart, countless admiration emerged.

This is simply a stroke of genius, no wonder, others have always regarded him as a monster.

It's no wonder he's so confident.

"Not only that, Mr. Zhang, your decoration props charging model has created a major charging model. I believe that many users will choose to buy these decorations at that time. Although, he doesn't seem to have any special attributes. ”

Tong Lei said, while unable to hide the shock, "It's just that this high-level equipment, special equipment, will not affect the balance of the system." ”

"No, it won't."

Zhang Ning shook his head, "Although in my definition, high-level equipment and special equipment have their special effects. However, these high-end equipment are more likely to look more advanced. For example, if we play CS, we can make a gun that looks more advanced, and the model of the gun can be made more beautiful and more stylish. This is actually something like an ornament...... Moreover, this additional attribute does not affect the balance of the system, at most adds a slight advantage. However, in CS, it is more about cooperation, and such a little advantage, he has no effect. ”

And, more importantly, Zhang Ning knows.

Even if some of this equipment will affect the balance a little, however, throughout the game, you will have RMB players on your team. Similarly, on the other side of the team, there are also RMB players. Such advantages have also been fully eliminated. Moreover, the League of Legends of later generations also explained more that the strength of the team is the most powerful. Even if you fight a hero alone, when facing two or three heroes to kill, you can only kneel.

"Tong Lei, I want our company to also make a first-person single-player shooter game, no, it's an online game. The whole pattern is just as I wrote above. Of course, you can add it. ”

"Mr. Zhang, after reading your charging model, I already know how to do it. However, we don't have much experience with first-person shooters, and I'm afraid that the results may not be satisfactory to users. ”

"Experience."

Zhang Ning shook his head, "We don't have experience, don't others have." CS is a game, I think it's very good. ”

"Mr. Zhang, are you talking about copying cs?"

"No, no, no, how could I let you copy it. It's just a reference. I think the CS game is very well developed, but there are some places that are not very good. For example, I think CS is very competitive, but his entertainment is a little weak. Similarly, I think the 3D effect of CS is too realistic, and everyone will want to vomit after playing for a long time, so we can lower the 3D effect a little. Moreover, the shooting effect of the CS is not very good, there is no striking effect. Just like in our online game, when the skill is released, it is necessary to achieve a more unique strike effect, which will make the user more refreshing. One word, CS embodies competition, our first-person shooter online game, on the one hand, there must be a certain degree of technicality, on the other hand, we must also pay attention to his entertainment. If there is no entertainment, then, there is no need for our online games to save zài......"

The reason why CS gradually declined after 2005 is because CS is too competitive and not entertaining at all.

However, in this world, where are there so many competitive talents, everyone is an ordinary player.

It's good to play this entertainment, and practice your skills every day, and the ghosts will go.

"Tong Lei, learn from it, learn from it, you know."

Zhang Ning kept instructing, "In terms of game engines, we can buy the Thor's Hammer engine, which is also the engine of CS." So, on the engine side, we don't need to spend too much time. As for the whole game setting, most of our content, and even the setting, can refer to CS......"

"Mr. Zhang, I understand."

Zhang Ning said it so clearly, Tong Lei understood no matter how stupid she was. However, he still asked with some concern, "Mr. Zhang, although we can learn from this, I am afraid that we will also fall into the storm of plagiarism." Moreover, we could get into a lawsuit. ”

"Rest assured, the headquarters will be responsible for this."

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, what's the name of this game."

"CF, Crossfire."

That's right, the game Zhang Ning said is the most popular first-person shooter in the later generations, Crossfire.

Of course, in fact, Zhang Ning's original idea was that CrossFire could wait a few years before launching it. Now the concept of launching a free-to-play game has somewhat disrupted the market. It's just that in order to successfully attack South Korea, in order to dominate the Korean game market. No, not only to dominate the Korean game market, but most importantly, to destroy Korean game manufacturers. Zhang Ning was the first to dig out this cross-fire line and set out for South Korea.
