Chapter 858: Explanation
Soon, someone broke a very surprising news on the largest EQ discussion forum.
That is, the famous EQ player Flor turned down the invitation from the SOE side.
That is to say, Flor was invited by SOE to work in the development team of EQ before, but was directly rejected by Flor, and this whistleblower was also generated, and Flor was very happy at first, although he did not agree on the spot, saying that he had to think about it carefully.
However, after Flor contacted SOE for the second time, he directly declined SOE's invitation.
Moreover, this time the poster also claimed that according to the news he learned, because Flor received a call from Mars Entertainment on the same day, Mars Entertainment also wanted to invite him to join in the development of an MMORPG game, of course, and at the same time, there was another famous player in EQ, Tigul.
At first, this incident was thought by many to be a prank.
However, when Flor deleted his excesses about Mars Entertainment and Jester, many people began to believe it.
As a result, many people began to scold Flor for his treachery and villainy.
And Flor has not appeared on the forum to reply, you know, this is not his usual style, he is very arrogant, and his favorite thing is to spray with people, but because he does have some ability, coupled with fierce combat effectiveness, ordinary people are really not opponents.
Therefore, this time his abnormality made people feel more and more that what was said in the previous post was true.
Actually, it's not that Flor is too embarrassed to go to the forum to talk about it, but because he really doesn't have time at this time, because he is visiting Mars Entertainment with his friend Tigul.
And Jester also took a lot of time to have a very in-depth discussion with the two of them on how to develop an MMORPG.
It's not a general discussion, but a real in-depth discussion, and even during the discussion, Jester holds a notebook and writes something down from time to time like a student. This also made Flor and Tigul very moved, after all, for Jester, the two of them were just two ordinary players, at most they had some fame in the player community.
However, Jester is a character known as the god of games.
To put it mildly, Jester's understanding, experience, or insight in game development is not at all comparable to Flor and Tigul. This is very inaccurate, and to be precise, neither of them is even qualified to be elementary school students in front of Jester.
But it's such a contrast of roles that Jester still takes their opinions so seriously.
This made Flor and Tigul very excited.
Basically, before the discussion with Jester was over, they made a decision that if they really had the opportunity to join Mars Entertainment, they would definitely be in the dark.
Although the two of them thought that their discussion with Jester was not too good, as it was probably too tense. They were a little dissatisfied with their own answers, and in retrospect, they even felt that their views were a bit naΓ―ve and one-sided.
So, when I was in charge of the headquarters of Mars Entertainment. They were still a little discouraged.
After all, there is a good chance that they will lose the opportunity to enter Mars entertainment.
However, reality does not always go as they expected, after the visit. Both Flor and Tigul received an invitation, which Jester had sent out himself.
"Are you interested in joining the MMORPG development team, of course. It started as an internship, and if you can meet my requirements within three months, you can become a full-fledged member of Mars Entertainment. β
Although it is only a job qualification for an internship.
But Flor and Tigul agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Because they all know that such an opportunity is rare, and besides, as long as the vast majority of people who are interested in the game development industry now, except for those who are really tenacious faith fans, who doesn't want to enter Mars Entertainment? But it is too difficult to enter Mars Entertainment, and almost a job recruitment has to face competition from more than a dozen or even dozens of people.
Under such competitive difficulty, it is difficult for them to get even an internship opportunity.
Later, Flor took the initiative to ask Jester.
"I don't think I did well in the previous discussion, why did you give us this opportunity?" Of course, this is what Tigul wanted to know.
Jester just smiled at the question and said very simply.
"Because if we need skilled people, we can poach people directly from mature teams, I like your talent, I think you are very suitable for this job in game development, you have talent for this, very high talent, that's all."
Flor left Mars Entertainment to go back to some of his own business, and his start time was probably after New Year's Day.
I went home and looked at the post on the forum, and I was immediately angry.
He found out that he had been sprayed and was called a coward because he had not shown up for a long time.
So he opened a post again, first of all, he explained that he didn't go online during this time because there were very important things to deal with, as for what he would talk about later.
After that, he talked about the content of the post.
"It's true that the people at SOE did contact me, because I did have a lot of opinions about the current state of EQ, not only about the characteristics and positioning of the paladin profession that I have talked to Tigul countless times, so when they came to me and asked me if I would like to work at SOE, of course I would."
"However, this is not a trivial matter, I need to think about it carefully, after all, it is related to my career, so I said that I will think about it carefully."
"After that, I did discuss it with my friends, and I made up my mind to go to SOE to make EQ a better game. Because I really like the MMORPG genre, and I want my favorite game to get better, then I recently came across an incident where Mr. Jester personally invited me. β
At the time of writing, Flor didn't write it and sent it out.
Then the people who saw his post instantly boiled.
Of course, Flor doesn't need to explain who Jester is, because almost all gamers will be familiar with the name, as he is almost the face of video games.
The name represents the game itself.
Just when many people were calling on Flor to write about what happened next. Another post was made by Tigul.
However, Tigul's personality is different from Flor, although the relationship between the two is very good, he rarely discusses these with others on the forum, and usually Flor himself comes to spray with others, but this time he may have seen a lot of posts spraying Flor, so he posted a post on behalf of Flor to explain the situation. The most important thing is that they have now agreed to Jester's invitation and are ready to join Mars Entertainment after the New Year.
Become a full-time employee.
Really. Shortly after this post by Tigul, Flor's second post was also released.
"I also saw that post from Tigul just now, and it is true, we received an invitation from Mr. Jester. He invited us to Mars Entertainment as a guest, and as a player, he wanted to know. What does a great EQ player think of the genre, and he also says that he plays EQ himself, and that he finds the game full of surprises and inspires him. β
"You know, it's Jester. Lee, the invitation of the god of games, this is something that I, as a player, as an admirer of the other party, and as a person who grew up playing his game, there is no way for me to refuse. β
"So, I went with Tigul."
"Really, before I thought it was made like Jester. A person with such a big achievement as Mr. Li, in the scope of his expertise, must not like to point fingers like us who don't understand anything, but this is not the case at all. Mr. Lee's four-person reception room, we call him sir, but he shook his head and let us call him Lee. β
"You can't imagine his humility until you see him."
"You know, the two of us are just two white Ding, just playing better in a game, but when he discussed this game with us, he was very serious, and even he carried a notebook, and took some notes from time to time, and after our conversation for more than an hour, I secretly looked at Jester. Mr. Li's notebook actually recorded three or four pages of what we discussed! β
"You know, I personally think that some of the things we were talking about at the time were very naΓ―ve, but Jester. Mr. Lee still says he has gained a lot. β
"Yes, after Jester. Mr. Li sent us an invitation and asked if we would like to come to Mars Entertainment, and we did not hesitate because we did not think of refusing at all, this is our dream, it is our dream to be able to work at Mars Entertainment, as a player, as an ordinary person who is interested in working in game development, I will never hide this. β
"I'm also grateful for the invitation from SOE before, and I'm also a favorite game about EQ, which completes my perception of what an RPG game should be to a certain extent, but I'm still not satisfied."
"I wish I could make an RPG that I couldn't even fault myself."
"It's hard, but I want to try."
After Flor said this post, he also said by the way that although he can still play the game EQ, he may not be putting too much effort into it, after all, he is going to work soon, and playing an MMORPG game requires a lot of energy to invest, and, he also said that he will not come to this forum very often, as he did before, casually open and spray games, spray developers or spray others.
After that, there were not many attacks in the message, and the most was to wish him a smooth entertainment on Mars.
But Flor also laughed.
He is only an internship qualification now, and whether he can stay in Mars Entertainment in the future is still a matter of a few months, and many people also know that Mars Entertainment has extremely high requirements for employees, and they are also bitter.
There are even previous interns at Mars Entertainment.
talked about his experience at Mars Entertainment.
"That experience is really nostalgic, because the development environment of Mars Entertainment is really very special, they are different from any other game company, including my current EA, that kind of environment, it is simply the developer's favorite, but unfortunately I didn't succeed in staying there at that time, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I will still join Mars Entertainment!"
There were even employees of Mars Entertainment who replied to Flor in the back.
"When you went to Mars Entertainment to visit those days, I saw you in front of our development team, I thought that Flor, who had a combat power of five million on the forum, must be a mighty and majestic person, but I didn't expect to be shy."
Of course, there are more envy.
Gamers, there are a few who don't want to join their favorite game companies to work, and Mars Entertainment must have a lot of fans.
"I really envy the people who can go to Mars for entertainment."
"yes, if only I could go......"
"I submitted my resume when I graduated last year, but I was brushed off in the first round of interviews, and I was really sad at the time......
"You've done it in the first round, like me, it's been the last round, but you're still brushed down, and that feeling is simply indescribable......"
"You guys are nothing, I passed the interview last year and got the internship qualification, but I was so happy at the time that I went back in the evening and drank with my friends, and I ended up in a car accident......
There are more and more statements like this under this post.
In the end, even the people at SOE congratulated Flor and felt sorry for not being able to work with him.
This matter has even made headlines on several influential game websites during this period of time when major game companies have no new game releases, after all, this kind of game company recruiting employees from gamers is really too rare, not to mention Jester's personal invitation.
It's unprecedented. (To be continued.) )
