Late at night. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:Strawberry Novel Network,.]

Inside a Mars Entertainment flagship store in downtown Los Angeles, it's brightly lit.

Outside the door, there was a long line of players, and it was impossible to see clearly in the distance, but according to estimates, the length of the queue was at least a few hundred meters.

The closed glass windows allow a clear view of the inside of the store.

The staff of Mars Entertainment has put a qiē ready, as many as 20 sales booths, and there are also raffle prizes piled up in a pyramid shape, which is also a tradition of Mars Entertainment, and all players who buy can get a lottery ticket.

There are some nice prizes that can be scraped out of this ticket.

For example, Dreambox2's game console, for example, some game cartridges or game floppy disks, and even when a Mars Entertainment heavyweight work was released before last year's carnival, five carnival tickets were prepared for the lucky draw.

In front of the door is a large countdown electronic clock.

The number on it is five minutes and forty-three seconds, and then within a second, one second is subtracted from the electronic clock.

As we get closer to the official release, the players waiting outside are getting more and more excited, and they are all discussing the game with each other whether they know each other or not.

Especially the things that Jester announced about Battle.net before the release.

Almost everyone is extremely curious about the battle network, and they naturally know about the network, but is the battle network a super large LAN that can be connected nationwide? At least judging by Jester's description, that's how it should be.

And the thought of being able to play online with people from all over the country, and the joy that games like "Mjolnir" and "Age of Empires" bring to them when they play online against each other, makes their hearts a little hot, and they can't get to experience what this Battle.net described by Jester is sooner.

Even if you can't use this Battle.net at first, you can use it like a LAN connection for "Mjolnir" or "Age of Empires". Then it's okay to just touch it.

"It is said that except for the invitation initiated by Mars Entertainment itself, the other places will only be randomly selected from the buyers who have three days before the release of this "Rune Guardian". Someone casually talked about a few words so casually, although many people have heard the news released by Mars Entertainment before.

But most of them still listen to their relatives and friends.

There aren't many people who really know all the news, so as soon as they hear someone say, they prick up their ears one after another, hoping to hear more.

"Random, so how do we know we're going to be drawn?"

After someone heard this, they immediately frowned, after all. Now is not the afterlife, just apply online and then randomly draw.

Of course, these Jesters have made it clear before.

Someone had such a question, and someone quickly explained to him, about this kind of discussion, you can see it everywhere in this black and oppressive large crowd, this is all a little boring to wait here, as much as possible to pass some time. After all, it's not long before the time of release.

Finally, with the countdown outside the door, the final countdown began.

The cacophony of voices in the crowd fell silent.

Then, it was the staff of Mars Entertainment who opened the glass door of the flagship store, and then a special security guard to maintain the scene came out. Maintain order, let the players who come to buy on the spot enter in an orderly order, and then divert to different release locations to buy.

In the meantime, not long has passed.

Previously, Jester's fans clashed with fans of American RPGs. As a result, the humble and embryonic forum that had just appeared in this era about the sales of "Rune Guardian" and "Genesis 4" suddenly became lively.

To know. Although in this day and age, even in the United States, there are not many people who can access the Internet.

Even fewer are able to surf the Internet late at night.

However, after all, it was because of that gamble, and this time "Rune Guardian" was released in the early morning, so not long after the release, a brand new post was written about the poster who had just returned from the release of "Rune Guardian".

I found that the sale site was indeed crowded, and there were countless buyers.

The sales of "Rune Guardian" this time will definitely be scary, and it also expresses his worries about the "Genesis 4" that will be released tomorrow.

It may have been late at night at first, and the post was not answered quickly.

But less than an hour later, several people replied to this post, and it can be seen from the content of the reply that the respondents are all fans who support "Genesis 4", and they are obviously also aware of the popularity of the release scene, and they invariably did not attack "Rune Guardian" in this regard, but shifted the finger to Jester.

"Jester is so shameless, do you really think so many people are going to buy it? It's not like that, I've been observing it before, before he announced the news today, the number of people who came to line up was only one-third of what it is now, but as soon as he announced the news, the number of people immediately tripled, if it weren't for that news, how could this rotten game be so lively tonight. ”

From this reply, it is easy to hear the speaker's grievances.

And echoing his remarks also agreed.

"That's it, I have a few friends, I told them about Jester's latest game before, saying that it is an RPG on PC, they don't usually play RPGs, they only like to play fast food games like "Quake", so after they heard it, although it was developed by Jester later, they all said they would not buy it."

"But, just after Jester announced the test news of what kind of Battle.net was announced this afternoon, they actually formed a team to go directly to the release point to queue up, and I followed them to see it, there are already hundreds of people queuing, and there is still a steady stream of people going, phew, I think maybe Jester thinks that the quality of the game "Rune Guardian" is definitely not good, otherwise, they will use this kind of off-board move?"

Echoes such as these quickly followed suit.

And as more and more replies to this post, some players who bought back the game and tried it, especially those fans who supported Jester, also came to this forum and saw this hotly discussed post.

Soon, Jester's supporters began their counterattack.

"Hehe, a group of SB, have you ever played it, just say this game is not fun? Sue sù you, I just bought it back, I queued for more than a day, I just played for more than half an hour, I can tell you very responsibly, this is a very, very, very fun game! ”

It didn't take long for this mocking reply to the above speeches to be like pouring a spoonful of cold water into a pan of oil, and in just an instant, the entire person in the post exploded.

All sorts of invective began.

There are many fans of American RPGs, and most of the fans who support Jester and Runestone Guardian are probably still waiting in line to buy them, so there aren't many people who can fight back against the spray, and there is nothing nutritious about the spray.

After all, there is no good reason to talk about it with a group of people who have never even played this game and scold that this is a piece of.

But soon, as the scolding became more and more ugly, this post was also directly locked by the administrator of the forum, and the IDs of the most vicious people scolded in it were directly banned.

But it's useless.

Soon, a new post with rhythm was posted again, and this time it came out with rhythm and became Jester's fans, as the saying goes, it's okay to come and not be rude, and it didn't take long for this post to be a mess again.

Naturally, Jester didn't have time to pay attention to what was happening on this forum.

It's not that he doesn't know, he still knows very well about the gamble, but this is not a big deal for him, at most it can only be said to be a little adjustment in life.

He didn't sleep all night, the main reason was that he wanted to wait for the latest release news, according to the predetermined plan, three to four hours after the release, he would be reported to him for the first time the first batch of summary news of the release, of course, he didn't sleep at night and was not idle and bored.

He still has a lot to do.

Because when the release of "Rune Guardian" is almost over, he will go to prepare for his wedding.

This will take at least a month.

And now there is still a lot of work on him, although he is the boss, even if he comes back from the wedding, there is no problem to do it, but Jester is not a person who likes to procrastinate, and his prestige in the company, and now the efficiency of the various development teams in Mars Entertainment is far more than that of other game companies.

It's all driven by Jester's example.

Having just finished an overview of what is going on in the continent of Draenor in Warcraft, Jester, who feels a little sleepy, just wants to go out and make a cup of coffee to dispel his sleepiness, he casually glances up at the clock on the wall and finds that it is already 3:50 in the morning.

Jester was still wondering why the call to report the news hadn't come yet.

The phone on his desk rang suddenly.

Picking up the phone and asking, Jester knew that the call was made from the head office of Fengxing Distribution, although the distribution work was jointly carried out by Mars Entertainment and Fengxing Distribution, but the statistics of the number jù were still counted by Fengxing Distribution.
