Chapter 238: Breaking the Record
Zhang Ning continued to drink the green tea he had just bought. (Baidu search)
He doesn't care at all about the news reported by the media.
Hmph, do you think the more features, the more fun?
Do you think the more complex the gameplay, the more fun it is?
You're all wrong.
It's not that I can't develop these game settings, it's just that I don't want to develop them.
Or rather, I don't want to launch so quickly for the time being.
New netizens, he needs a certain adaptation process, and he dares to introduce too complex gameplay, which can only intimidate them.
Moreover, Zhang Ning did not launch a more complex gameplay, in fact, he considered it more long-term.
In fact, a game only has a lifespan of two or three years at most, and after two or three years, the game will enter decline. How to ensure that a game can prolong its life as much as possible has always been a research topic for many game companies. However, in later generations, more than ten years of online game history have allowed many game companies to find a way.
This approach is a version update.
I believe that many friends will encounter version updates when playing games.
Some version updates are to fix bugs, some are to add some activities, and more versions are to increase settings and gameplay. In particular, every game gets a massive version update every year. Some add new skills, some add new bosses, some develop new maps, and some add new classes...... Wait a minute.
With each version of the update, players have rekindled their passion.
It's not that the Legend of Jin Gu Qunxia doesn't have excellent gameplay, but it's just an excellent gameplay, which was temporarily suppressed by Zhang Ningkeyi.
He will let Penguin Games slowly update this content in the future, little by little.
In this way, not only can the Legend of Jin Gu Qunxia keep him fresh, but at the same time, it also prolongs the vitality of the game.
However, on the other hand, the king of kings developed by Lei Jue Company. Although, Zhang Ning admits that many of the settings and gameplay in the King of Kings are leading in the industry. However, he really brought these complex gameplay to the market too early. For now, not to mention that there are some complicated gameplay that newcomers can't experience, even the follow-up update of King of Kings, all the time, King of Kings has been in trouble.
This is also the reason that since the launch of King of Kings for more than a year, although there have been small updates, there have never been other large-scale version changes. In Zhang Ning's mind, they all launched such a classic gameplay at the beginning. If you want to launch a more classic one, where can they find it? Do you really think that the world is so easy to think of such innovative and attractive gameplay? It's just a pity that Lei Jue didn't realize this.
Of course, Lei Jue's company didn't realize this, and Zhang Ning would not have informed them.
"That being said, but, Mr. Zhang, we were attacked by these competitors and were also affected. Quite a few veteran players, they all said that they don't plan to try our game. β
Tong Lei still seemed a little worried.
He knows the role of veteran players, and sometimes, an old player can even bring out several new players.
At this time, when the Legend of the Golden Gu Heroes was abandoned by these old players, Tong Lei was still very anxious.
It's just that Zhang Ning continued to shake his head, "Tong Lei, I have never considered these old players. β
"Ah......h
Tong Lei was a little dumbfounded, "Mr. Zhang, who are you?" β
He didn't understand why Zhang Ning would say such a thing. However, soon, Zhang Ning explained, "Don't doubt what I said, there is a reason why I said not to be an old player." Tong Lei, let me ask you, how many old players are there in China now. β
"This ......"
Tong Lei didn't know how to answer for a while, she didn't count this number accurately.
"Don't want this or that, even if you don't count it, there are only 5 million gamers in China at most. Moreover, this 5 million gamers also includes some players who play chess and cards, play Lianliankan and the like. Those who really play online games, probably, are not even 3 million. With such a small number of players, do you think that compared with the new netizen users now, is it too few......"
Zhang Ning, who did online games in his previous life, has always remembered it clearly.
In 2000, there were just over 20 million Internet users in China, and in 2001, he had more than 40 million.
It has doubled in a year, and the number of new netizens is simply terrifying.
If you pull these new netizens into the online game. Even if you can't pull much, you can only pull one-tenth, it is still a huge market. With such a huge market, why bother competing with other game companies for those old players? Besides, they're not necessarily veteran players. Online games only appeared in 2000, and no matter how old they were, they only played games for a year. For people like Zhang Ning, who have been playing online games for more than ten years, they are just rookies.
Moreover, Zhang Ning knows better. The so-called old players don't have much energy. Only when the future generations of online gamers are saturated, the old players are worth cultivating. Moreover, Zhang Ning still knows. Whether a game attracts old players or not is not because of the gameplay of the game, nor how bad the game is. As long as your game has a lot of people playing it, and even if you have a record number of people online at the same time, that's the number that attracts the most repeat players.
The meaning is very simple, I don't know if the game is fun or not, and the more people play, the game becomes fun.
"Don't forget it, with the promotion of ADSL dial-up technology in China, the number of new netizens is definitely an unusually terrifying number. Even without this one, the number of new netizens in China is definitely greater than these old players. It doesn't matter if they come to play our game or not, as long as we attract new players, that's fine. Just like now, even if some of these media have some news attacking us, isn't the number of our tests open that day always rising? 24 hours later, Tong Lei, you count the highest simultaneous online records of our open beta that day, and we have to use the real number jΓΉ to fight back against them. β
"Yes, Mr. Zhang."
Under Zhang Ning's guidance, Tong Lei completely calmed down.
yes, why do you care about these media and some of their competitors?
A new netizen market in Nuoda, this is the object of self-mining.
That night, Tong Lei had been staring at the number of jΓΉ in the background.
70 thousand.
80 thousand.
90 thousand.
9γ 50 thousand.
9γ 70 thousand.
98 thousand.
99 thousand.
A little more, a little more.
All the employees in the backstage of Penguin Games are constantly yelling.
They were thrilled.
They know that miracles will be possible from today.
100 thousand.
100 thousand.
100 thousand.
Everyone shouted out the number, and they waited for this moment.
Until, when the clock is pointed to 8 o'clock in the evening, it is the most golden time of the day.
On the first day of the public beta, the Legend of the Golden Ancient Heroes officially exceeded 100,000 online at the same time, breaking the record of the first day of public beta in the history of Chinese online games.
