For Lin Yuquan, the importance of the global open beta of "Wild Story" is no less important than the release of "Twilight", not to mention that "Wild Story" is his own work, and the huge amount of research and development funds invested in the game "Wild Story", as well as publicity and operating funds, also makes him pay attention to it.

In the test process of the game company, the closed beta is the game production has just been completed, and the game needs to be tested technically, and the test at this stage is purely technical, and the game's story, plot, and character design have nothing to do with it; The closed beta is the most comprehensive test of the game, and it is also a crucial test, all the technical issues of the game, as well as the game's story, character, style, characters, costumes, language, action, the rationality of the main and side quests, and many other aspects of the test and evaluation, and even the final modification, will be completed at this stage; As for the open beta, its significance is not only to allow more people to experience the game, but more importantly, it means that the game is about to officially operate for a fee.

As a for-profit commercial organization, the ultimate goal of any game company to develop games is only one, that is, operating fees, in order to launch the game "Wild Story", Lin Yuquan has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, he naturally hopes to get a good economic return from it, this is not his mercenary, but a normal investment philosophy.

It is precisely for this reason that he is very concerned about the closed beta of "Wild Record", not only him, but there are many, many people in the world who are paying attention to the closed beta of "Wild Record".

It's fair to say that no game has ever received as much attention around the world as Wild Wilds before the open beta, all because of the past year or so. The original novel and the movie of the same name have set off an unprecedented entertainment storm around the world.

There is no online game that can be launched in open beta around the world like "Wild Savage". World of Warcraft, which is now popular all over the world, didn't do it. Although "World of Warcraft" caused a lot of repercussions among gamers with the highest R&D cost of online games before this, it was only the first online game produced by Blizzard Entertainment after all, and it was only an original game, and its influence was limited after all, so the global open beta server of "World of Warcraft" was first launched in the United States, and then gradually spread to other countries and regions with good reputation.

As for other online games, "Legend" also did not do it, and "Fantasy Journey to the West" also did not do it. "Journey" also failed to do it, "Perfect World" also did not do it, "Sky Arena" also did not do it, "Lord of the Rings Online" also did not do it, and so far in this world, only "Wild Stories" has done it.

Coupled with the fierce publicity offensive jointly launched by the three branches of Dimen Games, Shuguang Games, Dimen Games Germany, South Korea, and Treasure Island, as well as game agents in other countries and regions, it can be said that in the countries and regions around the world where the "Wild Story" open beta server is launched, as long as you are a player who loves online games, you will know that today on November 25th is the day of the open beta of "Wild Wild".

Under these factors, it is naturally not difficult to imagine the level of attention that "Savage" has received when its open beta server is launched today. For gamers, they have long been ignited by the good reputation and publicity of "Wild Stories". Can't wait to experience it in the game.

For media reporters, all media reporters can expect the popularity of the open beta of "Wild Story", which is a massively multiplayer online role-playing online game with the same name as the original novel and movie of the same name of "Wild Story", and there are too many things to look forward to.

The original novel of "Wild Wild" and the movie of the same name have created crazy miracles in sales and box office, so what about the "Wild Wild" game? What kind of miracles can it create? Can it make countless gamers crazy like novels and movies? What is the highest number of people online at the same time? How many players can I register? How many consumers can reach in the end? Can you beat World of Warcraft?

In the past, a series of games have failed to challenge the supremacy of World of Warcraft, can Wild Things?

These are all things that media reporters care about and are interested in, and they can't wait to find out.

Compared with the excitement of gamers and the interest of media reporters, a group of online game peers are undoubtedly ants on a hot pot, looking anxious, no way, there are so many gamers, and everyone only has so much time, the success or failure of "Wild Story" is directly related to the operation of their game, once "Wild Record" is a big success, then their game users are bound to decline, which will lead to a decline in revenue, and even eventually endanger the company's survival, in the face of such a grim situation, how can they be calm.

In fact, in the face of the strong attack of "Wild Arts", many games, including "World of Warcraft", "World of Legends", "Fantasy Journey to the West", "Journey", "Perfect World", "Sky Arena", etc., have already made plans to deal with it, and will implement various preferential activities during the open beta of "Wild Arts", among which games such as "World of Warcraft" and "Fantasy Journey to the West" have launched free 7-day activities, and "Journey" and "Perfect World" with props and other games, such as doubling the game experience, giving away the best equipment, and purchasing props to enjoy special discounts.

The goal is to try to retain their existing users, otherwise everyone will run to play Wild Things, what will happen to their game?

"Really? Then these companies are really enough to make a lot of money! After learning that other games on the market have launched special activities for "Wild Story", Lin Yuquan said with a smile, he is not surprised that although the cake of the game industry is gradually getting bigger, but in a certain period of time, the scale is certain after all, and there is a strong competitor, which will inevitably cause its own market share to decrease, which is something that no game company wants to see, and then there is an almost tacit concerted action.

"Actually, it's not a bloody investment, it's just a little less, and it's better to earn less than nothing. The major game companies are also afraid that we will snatch away all the players. "The president of Emperor Games, Mason. Plumlee said with a smile.

"That's right." Fang Yunhai, general manager of Dawning Games, agreed.

Such a situation is naturally not Mason. Plumlee and Fang Yunhai both flew to Rongcheng for a meeting. It's a multi-party conference call. In order to cope with the situation of emergency meetings, various companies, including Shuguang Film and Summit Entertainment, have installed multi-party conference call systems, so that no matter where he is, he can participate in all kinds of important conference calls anytime and anywhere, and not only that. It also effectively improves the efficiency of each company's office.

"That's true, but are you confident in the event of a game company?" Lin Yuquan asked with a straight face, although the quality of "Wild Story" itself is not said, and the attention it has received now is not said, but after all, in the face of competition from all game companies, people cannot take it lightly.

"Of course, in Europe and the United States, the main use is a monthly fee, and the hourly fee is used to play for free for seven days, which will not have much impact on our public beta. It is also free to play, and naturally there will be a large number of users who are curious about the situation of "Wild Story". Come and play our game, and you don't have to worry too much about the situation in South Korea and Treasure Island. "Mason. Plumlee laughed.

"Don't worry about it in China, it just so happened that Blizzard no longer cooperated with Jiucheng and handed over "World of Warcraft" to NetEase as an agent, due to the handover problem, now "World of Warcraft" has stopped operating in China, and there must be a large number of "World of Warcraft" players pouring into our game." Fang Yunhai said.

"Very well, so what do you think is the maximum number of people we can be online at the same time around the world?" Lin Yuquan smiled.

"It's hard to predict, I guess the maximum number of people online at the same time on the first day of our open beta today should be higher than 500,000, and it will soon reach 1 million, but after the charging stage, it is impossible to determine for the time being, and it depends on the data during our open beta period, but it will not be less than 500,000 people online at the same time." Fang Yunhai said after groaning.

500,000 people online at the same time is the lowest expectation in his mind for the official operation of "Wild Story", announced at the beginning of the year as of 07 years, China's largest number of people online at the same time on the online game list, the highest number of people online at the same time was created by NetEase's "Fantasy Journey to the West", its highest number of simultaneous online people is as high as 1.5 million, far higher than the tied second place "Running Kart" and "Bubble Hall" of 800,000, followed by "World of Warcraft" 750,000, "Journey" 700,000, "QQ Fantasy" 680,000, " Legend of Blood" 670,000, "Audition" 650,000, "Journey to the West 2" 580,000, "World of Legends" 550,000, due to the rapid development of the economy, this year this data has increased significantly, with the excellent quality and super high attention of "Wild Story", if it is lower than 500,000, it will be hell.

After all, after the open beta, although there must be a lot of players who came to play in the early stage, it is uncertain whether they can stay, and there is no game that can be attractive to all players, and there are bound to be many players who come and go, and it can only be seen how many gamers will be attracted to "Wild Story", and games including "Fantasy Journey to the West" and "World of Warcraft" have taken a long time to have the current number of simultaneous online players.

"It's really hard to predict, it's certain that our game will be extremely popular in the early stage of the open beta, but as a timed and paid game, the most important stage is always after the paid operation, I won't guess during the open beta period, and there should be no less than 300,000 people online at the same time in the United States after the official operation." Mason. Plumlee said unhurriedly that in the United States, online games with 300,000 simultaneous online users are already at the top of the list, but he believes that "Wild Tales" will definitely reach that number, for the simple reason that the original novels and movies of "Wild Arts" have an astonishing popularity in the United States.

"In Baodao, the maximum number of concurrent online users on the first day of the public beta should exceed 100,000, and after the official operation charge, it should not be lower than this number." Chen Daoran, president of the treasure island branch of Dimen Games, said.

The game market of Treasure Island is not too big, under normal circumstances, the number of simultaneous online users of the top three games is often maintained at more than 150,000, and after the fourth place, the number of simultaneous online users has dropped sharply to less than 50,000, and the gap between the top three is quite large, and at the relative peak, the maximum number of simultaneous online people per day in Warcraft Taiwan is about 150,000, and he is not sure whether "Wild Wild" will be able to operate after charging. Reach that number. But 100,000 people were online at the same time. He believed it could still be achieved.

"In South Korea, there should be no less than 200,000 people online at the same time on the first day of the public beta, and after the final official operation charge, it should not be less than 100,000." Lee Ji-hoon, president of the Korean branch of Dimen Games, said after thinking about it.

The Korean online game market is extremely developed, and countless Korean online game companies can concoct a large number of games every year, but due to the small size of the local market, the supply of products far exceeds the market demand, so the competition in the Korean domestic game market is extremely fierce. It's also because there are so many games to choose from. Local gamers are also becoming more demanding about the quality of their games, so the games that can gain a foothold in South Korea must be high-quality games that have been brutally selected by the market and survive the fittest. Compared with China, there are very few games in South Korea that can reach 200,000 people online at the same time, and 100,000 people online at the same time is already a very high expectation in his heart for "Wild Story".

"The number of simultaneous online users in Europe should not be less than 300,000 after the final official operation." The president of the German branch of TMG Games, Nick Anderson. Kovacs speculated with a slight conservative guess.

"Wow, that's not bad! Then let's do our best and try to make your predictions come true. Lin Yuquan smiled with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "In this way, let's play a small game." If your predictions come true, I'll invite you to dinner at the end of the year. And next year to organize an overseas vacation, but if anyone's prediction does not come true, then the cost of dinner and vacation will be paid for by himself. ”

"That boss, can I change my prediction just now, I suddenly found that the prediction just now was a little too high."

"Of course not, do you want me to invite you to dinner and vacation, or do you want one of you to invite someone else, you can do it yourself, friendly reminder, the overseas vacation I arranged for all of you, its cost is definitely not cheap."

"Oh, boss, it can't be like this."

At the same time, in fact, there are many people around the world who are predicting the highest number of concurrent online users after the open beta of "Wild Story", but guessing is just guessing after all, no matter how you guess, it needs to be verified by the "Wild Story" open beta after all.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The global open beta of "Wild Tales" is scheduled for 7 p.m. on November 25, and due to the time difference, South Korea and Japan are the first to launch the server.

When the time came to 7 o'clock, with the release of Li Zhixun's order to open the server, the gamers who were originally waiting by the computer immediately turned into a stream of data and entered the server of "Wild Story".

In order to cope with this open beta, the five companies that operate themselves have purchased servers according to the situation in the region, because the game market in South Korea is relatively small, so the purchased servers are enough to meet the needs of 500,000 people online at the same time, according to the operation of major games in South Korea in the past, there are very few people who are online at the same time, and the servers that can meet the needs of 500,000 people online at the same time are enough to deal with any unexpected situation in the open beta of "Wild Wild".

In fact, with the influx of gamers, the company's servers were running normally, but the exclamations quickly resounded in the Korean branch of Dimen Games.

"Oh my God, it's only been ten minutes, and 50,000 gamers have already entered the game." Lee Ji-hoon looked at the data in disbelief, although he knew that the game "Wild Wild" was very popular in South Korea now, but he didn't expect it to be so high, which also made him look forward to the highest number of concurrent online users on the first day of the open beta, knowing that it was not yet the prime time of the evening!

At the same time, more exclamations and disbelief rang out across South Korea.

Unlike the Wild Stories novels and movies, the game no longer unfolds from the perspective of apes, but from the perspective of human adventurers, who will explore deep into the Wild Continent from ten landing sites on the coast of the Wild Continent, each of which is surrounded by a different race, each with its own skills.

After entering the game, the player will first choose the class, then the landing place, and then enter the landing place to start the adventure.

In order to make the game more playable, in the first stage of the game, in addition to fighting monsters and upgrading, the main purpose of players will be to obtain a city building token, after getting the city building token, players can build their own city, once the city is established, the life system will be opened in the city, so that gamers have more career choices and entertainment space, and as a player who builds a city, he can not only get a certain percentage of transaction taxes, You can also get a certain percentage of the experience gained by other players fighting monsters within a certain range of the city, which is definitely a huge incentive for players.

According to the plan, there will be 10 city building tokens for each landing place to the core location of the Savage Continent, and after buying a house in the city, you can directly return to the city house at the time of landing and in the game.

Not only that, but in the later stage, the cultivation system, the help building system, the nurturing system, the mount system, the ascension system and so on will be launched according to the operation situation.

However, this is all an afterthought, back to the present, after all players choose their profession and landing place, when the screen flashes and appears at the landing place, they see the beautiful picture in front of them, which suddenly makes many players exclaim, "Wild Story" 60 million US dollars of high research and development funds are not in vain, compared to the graphics of other online games today, the result of heavy investment is to bring players a better visual experience.

And as the experience continues, the excitement in the hearts of players is getting stronger and stronger, with beautiful graphics, huge maps, and unparalleled smooth and refreshing operation, all of which make them want to start the game impatiently. Hope, and when they learned the benefits of building a city from the NPCs, they suddenly couldn't hold back anymore and walked out of the landing place and killed the surrounding wild races.

Li Zhixun has been looking at the background data excitedly, almost every minute and every second passes, the number of players entering the game of "Wild Wild" is increasing, 7:20, 71,000, 7:30, 92,000, 7:40, 115,000, 7:50, 137,000, 8 o'clock, 162,000, what is crazy, this is crazy, in just fifty minutes "Wild Story" That's an increase of 112,000 players, and what's even more amazing is that the number of players entering the game is still rising rapidly.

At this time, where the branches of Dawning Games and Dimen Games Treasure Island are located, Fang Yunhai and Chen Daoran coincidentally announced the opening of the service. (To be continued......)
