Chapter 504: Blizzard (Medium)

"Of course, this is just one of the benefits, I think, unlike the Vivendi Group, the Starfall Group can help you a lot." Yang Yiwei paused, and then said with a smile.

After visiting all the game development teams, Yang Yiwei and the others entered the large conference room, after all, they were their biggest bosses, and the first time they came to talk was to give a speech and meet the executives below. In fact, there are not many people in the conference room, there are only about 20 people in total, and in addition to regular departments such as HR, the remaining main personnel are several game development teams.

"I heard that Blizzard's new game is in development, it's called Titan, right? I wonder when Ludao will be listed? Yang Yiwei asked with some curiosity, as a game fan, Yang Yiwei is naturally more concerned about this, in fact, Yang Yiwei still has a lot of kung fu to play games, anyway, all he needs to do most of the time is to sign, or decide on the company's top strategy.

It can't be announced to the public, but to his own boss, this progress naturally doesn't need to be hidden, Mike said with a smile: "Since you used to be our fan, you should be able to say that you know Blizzard better, our game production is relatively slow, in line with the purpose of excellence, what we make is not like those fast food games that are now flooded on the market, so Titan's progress has actually been developed for several years, but now about 80% of the work has been completed, according to the fastest speed, Initial internal tests should be completed by the end of the year. ”

"But there's an 80 percent chance of a ticket bounce, right?" Yang Yiwei asked with a smile.

Everyone in this conference room immediately laughed, and everyone who was doing it knew that skipping tickets had almost become a tradition of Blizzard, and did Blizzard's games not skip tickets? No...... It can be said that the punctual release is the biggest strangeness.

"Well, the bounce is a certainty. And I estimate that the time for the bounce is not short. Yang Yiwei continued with a smile.

Everyone was slightly stunned at this moment, although Yang Yiwei became their BOSS, but in terms of game development, naturally they are not as familiar as the people in the development team, even the person in charge of the Titan project did not say this, why is Yang Yiwei so sure? Could it be said?

Although these people are all engaged in skills and are not suitable for the workplace, it does not mean that they are fools, Mike is very wise not to ask what is for it, since Yang Yiwei has spoken. I'm sure I'm going to give them a follow-up explanation.

"Excuse me, is the person in charge of the World of Warcraft here?" Yang Yiwei didn't explain everyone's doubts, but instead supported the table with his smiling hands and asked. A short-haired middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure and almost a bald head immediately raised his hand and spoke, "Mr. Yang." I'm here, Grieg. Streeter. The person in charge of the Warcraft World project. ”

"Nicknamed Crab, right? I know you. That's right, I have a task here that you Warcraft Realm project team needs to complete. Yang Yiwei said with a smile.

The others didn't speak, just listened quietly, these people naturally knew that their company was sold by Vivendi for a super high price of $3.5 billion, and this new boss naturally had to listen to any opinions, although he said it during the negotiations before. It will not participate in the management of specific projects on Blizzard Entertainment's side, but it is just a full shareholding, but this kind of thing, negotiation is negotiation. When they buy it back, they have to participate in it to some extent, although they are more stubborn in their skills, but they are not unfamiliar with the world.

"Boss, you say it." The crab said with a smile.

"That's the case, Star Fall Group, I think everyone hasn't paid attention to it before, but when it comes out that Star Fall Group is going to acquire Blizzard Entertainment, everyone must have understood, so I won't talk about the technical advantages of my company, and now, Xingnuo Communication Company has made new progress, that is, we have developed a new server array technology, with Xingnuo Communication's global network, I think the Warcraft World World project team will contact the Warcraft World agents in all countries of the World and the World of Warcraft, and a month later, We will conduct a test in the world's major network developed countries, and we have decided to have all players in the world join a server. Yang Yiwei quickly said his decision.

As soon as Yang Yiwei's words came out, there was silence in the entire conference room for a while, and after about dozens of seconds, then a burst of exclamations came out, "Boss, are you sure?" Mike was a little dizzy, and almost "brushed" to get up from his chair, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes! We're only testing the capacity of the server, and if the server can withstand the number we calculated, then the Titans I just said need to bounce tickets will come true. Yang Yiwei continued with a smile.

At this moment, everyone immediately suddenly realized, indeed, if the Starfall Group can really put the players of the entire world into a server, then the Titan will definitely have to be changed, and the map alone may have to be magnified more than a hundred times, so many players, the communication between each other, the balance of the system, and the design of the novice village in the early stage will all be problems.

Except for the skills that may be retained, everything else needs to be redesigned, which is really a huge job.

But everyone is very excited, and everyone sitting there, even people from the company's HR and other departments, as long as they enter Blizzard, it can be said that no one is not a game fan, which is the premise of Blizzard's recruitment, just like these administrative and human resource management department people usually join the company's internal tests in the early stage of the game.

And as a game fan, of course, I know how tempting it is to be able to play on the same server with players from all over the world! At that point, Blizzard will become a myth in the gaming world, with real dominance! Although now the World of Warcraft is also half a myth in the online game world.

"Boss, I understand this, opening a new server is not a problem, but the clients operated in different countries are different, and the operators are not the same, this ...... How do I connect to our own server? "Crab is still puzzled by this, after all, the clients in these countries are different, and there may even be different versions, but Blizzard hasn't updated the new version for a long time, and now the versions of each country are the same, but the versions of temporary maintenance are not the same.

"This is simple, I asked my technical staff to make a small embedded program, directly embedded in the client of each country, so that when the player chooses the test server we launched to log in, an account dialog box will pop up directly, and this account needs to enter is not Blizzard's login account, but an independent account applied for by Xingnuo Communication Company, a subsidiary of Xingluo Group, this account can be connected to our wireless network, and then connected to our server through our wireless network, As for network latency, don't worry, we've tested it and never more than 30 milliseconds from the US to China and then to Europe. Yang Yiwei explained it to everyone.

Everyone present is a little numb, everyone is engaged in this, naturally know what it means to have a delay of 30 milliseconds from China to the United States to Europe, but the difficulty now is the server, so many players enter the server, can the server's computing resist? You must know that many times the card machine is not just a network card, but countless player data rushed into the server, the server could not calculate, and then caused network congestion on the server side, and then could not give back the data to the player in real time, so it caused the card machine, the focus is the computing power of the server.

"Hehe,I know that everyone has doubts,That's why we need to test it,,This job will be handed over to you crabs.,I can hand over the specific program to you in a while.,This thing I'll tell you where to directly embed the client.,There's our company's encryption program inside.,This encryption program must not be leaked.,If it's leaked,It's a huge test for our company's network transmission server.,It's possible to crash.,Our server is in the sky.,It's not so easy to maintain.。 Yang Yiwei pointed to his head and said.

"No problem, BOSS, leave this task to me, do you still need the server client and source code of the World of Warcraft? I'll have you copy it to our server in a moment. The crab rubbed his palms and said quickly.

Blizzard Entertainment is all owned by Starfall Group, and the source code of a game is naturally not a secret. "Okay, I'll directly transfer the game's client over in a while, and test the computing power of our host by the way." Yang Yiwei said with a quick smile.

Everyone has a feeling of screaming when a meeting is held, anyway, after a meeting, everyone rushed directly to their own department, just now Mike has also discussed with the team on the Titan's side, first help the Warcraft world to complete this test, if the server really passes, there is no doubt that the data of the Titan will be greatly changed, then there is no need to continue the development, anyway, it is only a month's time.

"I think these people are cute, and they're much cuter than the ones you attended last time at your birthday party." Xiaoxi's voice sounded silently in Yang Yiwei's ears.

Of course, these people can be said to be working hard for one thing, although it sounds like a game, like a plaything, but no matter what, as long as you keep the greatest passion for it, it deserves anyone's respect.

The client and source code of the World of Warcraft Yang Yiwei let the crab directly to a mailbox of the Starfall Group, of course, this mailbox is actually Xiaoxi's side, and the client and source code are directly passed into Xiaoxi's database. (To be continued.) )
