Chapter 661: Titan (1)
There is still a week before the Titan open beta, and a press conference of Starfall Group thundered everyone, Starfall Group hired Mr. Bill Gates, the former chairman of the board of directors of Microsoft and the creator of Microsoft, to become the technical consultant of Starfall Group, as the director of the relevant system research and development project of Starfall Group.
This news is like throwing a huge stone into the suddenly calm water, and it has caused a ripple in the media circles of the whole world, and it is not news that people who have announced their resignation have been rehired, but you have to see who is rehired? The founder of Microsoft went to another company? Could this be another version of Jobs? But this is fundamentally different from Jobs, when old Joe was driven away, but Bill Gates took the initiative to go, and the difference between them is big.
And it's still the Starfall Group that went to? What is this for? Everyone is a little puzzled, but neither Bill Gates nor Yang Yiwei can be interviewed, and this press conference is just a routine announcement, nothing else is said, and no one answers these reporters' questions, they can only guess by themselves, but the whereabouts of Bill Gates's family are not difficult to know.
But it is nothing for them to live in the villa area of the Starfall Group, although the Starfall Group has not yet started to publicize the place, but the media has already known that it is a top villa resort built by the Starfall Group. The price of each villa in it is terrifying astronomical, and even ordinary rich people can't afford to live in it, and those who can afford it are at least the top rich.
However, because of Bill Gates's matter, the media of the whole world put things on the Titan open beta, and the open beta of Titan will mean that Titan will officially start operating, and the official start of operation means that Titan must build branches in all operating countries and pay taxes to others. This is something that can't be helped, after all, this is the strength of the country, no country will allow a profitable company like you to evade taxes, although even if the Titan doesn't want these branches, these countries have nothing to do with the Starfall Group.
What's the solution? The first person doesn't use your network, and the second client can be downloaded from the network, of course you can block foreign URLs, but are you sure that's right? You can't block all foreign URLs, right? This proves that there is no way to stop these ordinary people from downloading Titan's client, although Titan's client is very large, but even if it is big. As long as you download it in advance, you can still download it, not to mention the development of Internet speed in recent years, not to mention foreign countries, even if it is China, a country with slow Internet speed development in the world, these two years. Because of the emergence of the Starfall Group.
As a result, China Unicom and China Telecom have to invest in broadband in order to strengthen their competitiveness, so that domestic broadband can reach an average speed of 20 Mbit/s even in third-tier cities. In second-tier and first-tier cities, it can basically reach speeds of 30M to 100M.
Although 100M home network is still expensive. But there are still people who use it, with such a network speed, coupled with the strengthened cooperation between China Unicom and China Telecom, China Unicom's access to the telecom's computer room is not as bad as before, not to mention the development of network speed in other countries in the world, and the download speed is definitely not a problem. Therefore, if the Starfall Group really does not establish a branch. There is no way for these countries to do it, because other people's clients can still operate, of course, it is not absolutely impossible.
You are an online game. It is necessary to make profits, since you want to make profits, you have to cooperate with banks or third-party payers, if you don't open branches, these cooperations, as long as these countries do not agree, it is difficult for you to handle them. However, because of Titan's unique way of operating, it is very easy for Starfall Group to establish branches and the approval of Titans.
Almost all the places where the Internet can be popularized in the world, Starfall has its own branches, and even most of the countries in Africa where the turmoil is not particularly serious Starfall Group has also established branches, of course, there is only one office in these countries, to put it bluntly, it is just to give your country a tax, as for how many players there are in your country, it is estimated that it does not add up much.
Titan's open beta time has not jumped, and it is even slightly advanced, but the time of a year is about the same, speaking of Titan's open beta, I have to mention the number of Titan's current players, the average peak of Titan's current player count has reached 70 million terrifying numbers, and the usual number of online people has also approached 40 million, 40 million people's peak online value, although this number is still far from the gamers of the whole world, but according to the registration data of Titan's official website.
The number of registered people in the world is close to 150 million, and these 70 million people are wanted according to the data of mechanical creatures, and many players have participated in the test, but some have left in the middle, and some have been added from time to time, after all, the previous test of the Titan was only a novice village, and later although the intensity of the test was increased, the level of openness was only 20.
The level cap of the Titan is currently 100 levels, and the level in the Titan is not the most important, and the combat ability gap between level 20 and level 40 is not particularly large, of course, there is still a certain gap, but the level is also very important, because it is a hard condition for you to enter some areas. In other words, if you want to go to a larger map, then there is a level restriction requirement, and if you don't have a level, you can't get in.
According to the explanation of the words in the Titan, it is the NPC in the Titan that is powerful In order to protect the people here, only the stronger the people can enter the more dangerous areas, and the people with ordinary strength can only stay in the rear. So although the level has little impact on strength, if you want to go to a more advanced map, you have to increase the level, and the reason why there are so many players in the Titan test is because of the last disorder test of the Titan, that is, the event when the player affected the progress of the game.
The entire server partition, each area has been tested a total of 20 times, adding up to more than 100 times, and so many times, the player has not played any of the same results, each time there are different results, whether it is for the overall battle situation of the most difficult result of the battlefield, or a part of it, which proves that the game has completely entered a new generation, and this new generation of game system is called by the game media in the whole world: the player's counterattack!
The reason why it is called this is because in the past, players could only play according to the ending set by the game company, but this time players can finally influence the game. Instead of some game companies in the past, although it is said that players can influence the game, but in fact, the result of the game process is nothing more than a few of the things they have set, and the player just makes a multiple-choice question, and now, the players are not doing multiple-choice questions, and the result is completely according to your level of effort.
It was precisely because of this successful test that the number of Titan testers, which had been stable, began to skyrocket, reaching the terrifying number of 40 million people who later averaged online, and the overall number of active players was about 70 million. And this result is also the result of the "hard work" of European players, and it has to be said that Europeans are more imaginative than people in other parts of the world, and they dare to try something new.
Although more than a dozen tests have been carried out before, and the results of each test are different, but the outcome is good, that is, human beings resisted the attack of monsters, but when the last test was carried out, a famous Titan forum of European players released a huge event, and even on all the famous game media in Europe at that time, or some rich people among these players, directly asked the game media to release, that is, to let all players in the European region, in the most final test, Don't follow the system's prompts to attack those monsters, everyone releases water, or even obstructs the actions of the human side, and see what the result will be.
Of course, the Starfall Group will not manipulate anything behind the scenes, when Xiaoxi told Yang Yiwei this, Yang Yiwei waved his hand and let those players toss, and the result was ...... Needless to say, the whole monster slaughtered almost all the cities in the European region.,And then those players who live is called a miserable.,The resurrection point is completely gone.,Each player is only in the wild when he is resurrected.,And once you live, you're surrounded by all kinds of monsters.,If you're lucky, you'll be able to survive a day.,If you're unlucky, it's a monster pile when you're resurrected.,Die directly.。
Every time a titan dies, the durability of the equipment will be reduced, and if the durability is gone, the equipment will explode directly! There is no possibility of repair, so that the players in the European region are "abused" in the last place, and almost all of them are naked. Although it also triggered some special processes, such as some players triggering their own enhanced attributes in the attack of monsters, but all in all, the result is one word, miserable!
A city without supplies, no NPCs, almost all NPCs are dead, without NPCs there are no quests, and even copies are gone, because dungeons also exist because NPCs exist, and the result can be imagined. But even so, European players have been applauding on the forums, because it proves that this game is really possible, and as long as you dare to play it, then the result will definitely play according to your vision.
Of course, this result is a tragedy, and now it's a test, and all the data has to be emptied, so although the European area is very miserable, but no one says anything, if the official public beta is over, the data will not be cleared, dare to play like this...... Yang Yiwei assured that the player who made this suggestion might have been beaten to death in reality. (To be continued......)
