Chapter 298: A Month of Anticipation
On the huge web page, there is a red advertising banner at this moment, which tells everyone with yellow numbers how many minutes there are until seven o'clock, and as each minute decreases, everyone's hearts are as uncomfortable as a cat.
And on the voice software, it is already a sea of jubilation.
"Fourteen minutes to go! Fourteen minutes! Then came the carnival of our Warcraft fans! "Little De! My lovely druid! I don't know if I can see it! "Haha, the battle of quicksand was fought by the Night Elves, there must be them!" "Hey, we didn't open up Cthun back then, but now we can see it on the movie, and I'm excited to think about it!"
Six fifty-nine.
One minute until the first Warcraft video!
The voice in front of Danny has entered the countdown of the audience! It's like the countdown before the start of the Olympics, and you can't hear anything else!
"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! ……”
Until the last "Zero!" ”
Everyone clicked on the video screen as fast as they could, and there were too many people entering at the same time, and there was a short stuck.
Click, read, and with a black screen of silence, the voices all stopped.
Danny stared intently at the screen, and finally, the screen lit up.
A piece of yellow sand, a vast desert, boundless, and in the middle, a huge palace, cloud-shading, damaged city walls, mottled words, a dignified smell came to the face.
"This is Silisus......" Danny stared intently.
Suddenly, on the edge of the Yellow Mountain, a black tide appeared, and before anyone could see it clearly, a low roar appeared on this piece of yellow sand.
Countless Kodomons appeared, hordes of Night Elves, humans, dwarves, undead, orcs, minotaurs......
"Oh ......" "Oh my God......" In an instant, a series of exclamations rang out from the voice software.
It was the excitement of the perfect reproduction of the characters in the game with an exclamation of excitement!
"Look! That's T3! I've never had a shoulder burst before I've been killed! One player shouted excitedly in the voice, and at the same time, everyone noticed that these people were wearing the most nostalgic outfits from the 60s!
The priest with a holy halo on his head, two white wings of light on his shoulders, an orc warrior who is solemn and licking a long knife, and a mage with a glacier on his shoulders, everyone has a solemn look, and the most important thing is that they are not game CGs! All movie buffs, game fans, for the first time, witnessed this epic game become a real person!
"Whew...... "Whoosh...... there was no sound in the voice software anymore, it was all heavy breathing.
Before seeing the video, they wondered, what the hell is World of Warcraft? Will it be shoddy?
However, seeing this scene, they didn't have any doubts, 200 million US dollars, of which at least nearly 100 million were used for special effects, and now, they could even see wisps of blue souls on the shoulders of the warrior's skeleton, and the mage was covered in cold and flames, just a picture made them extremely excited.
If you're not a fan of the game, it's hard to understand the feeling of the beloved, the unreal, the two-dimensional thing that exists only in the second dimension.
"Snap ......" a horse's hoof stepped on the yellow sand, followed by a white tiger's claw.
A horse covered in golden velocity and golden armor, more than twice the size of an ordinary war horse, stepped into the yellow sand, and on it, sat a black-haired, yellow-skinned Asian marshal.
The armor of the whole body was like a golden ocean, and a bright yellow holy light rose from the body. Beside him was a Night Elf lady with a bow and arrow, no eyes, turquoise hair, and two long, pointy ears.
"Marshal Lin! Malorne! "Quite a few players screamed wildly.
These two have left too deep an impression on everyone's impressions, because of the contract between Blizzard and Daybreak, there are many important events in which the Marshal of Stormwind City is present, not to mention Malorn, the high-level priest of the Night Elves, the first person next to Tyrande.
The two stood proudly in front of the hosts, and finally, a sword and a bow, pointed to the magnificent ancient city ahead.
"Kill!!" At the same time, the warriors of the Tribal Alliance behind him let out an earth-shattering roar, undead horses, mechanical birds, rams...... Red-eyed, horse-by-mount led the death-defying warriors of Azeroth and rushed towards the endless wall of beetles ahead.
"Boom!" In the next second, the seemingly flat desert suddenly exploded like a frying pan, and one after another mutant insect people rushed up from under the desert, with the desire to kill.
And in that ancient palace complex, all of a sudden, a turquoise mutant queen bee flew up that was enough to block the sun!
"Princess Hahoran! That must be Princess Hahoran! In the voice, I don't know who couldn't hide the exclamation!
Everyone was full of goosebumps with excitement, no one expected that so many important characters would be revealed in this battle, as well as the heavyweight boss in the temple!
Thinking of the time when the "princess" was cleared, countless people's hearts were boiling!
"Brush!" At this moment, the screen quickly went black, and a line of golden text hit the screen like a bullet.
“WorldofWarcraft! On July 1st, the whole world will join the grand ceremony! ”
There was silence, and after less than three seconds, an angry voice rang out.
"Holy! More than twenty days to go! "It's only 10 seconds old in this promotional video?! SHIT! This is the shortest promo video I've ever seen! "Dawn is too stingy!" "Hehe, don't you go and see it?!" "How is that possible! The original is a reproduction! How could it not be seen! It's so realistic! ”
This video is like a scoop of oil thrown into boiling water, which instantly made game fans and movie fans blow up!
This is relying on the power of culture, there is no need to think about the plot, all the plots have been deeply imprinted in the minds of fans, what they need is reproduction, restoration! As long as the degree of restoration is extremely high, then it is a success!
Hunger marketing is once again launched, because the sales of peripherals are crazy, Sony has the capital to put this bait little by little.
"Excessive! It's too much! To express our anger! The Tree of Life server has decided to go to Stormwind! ”
If anyone still remembers the scene of Batman, they will definitely sneer, from the beginning of the service, Marshal Lin has never been pushed down by the tribe like the god of war, and the mockery of the alliance has become "The marshal who has the ability to overthrow Stormwind City?" ”
This scene made the game fans even more angry, there had been no guild to push down for several years, plus this ten-second video, plus everyone knew who Marshal Lin's ontology model was, at this moment, game fans rioted.
"Let's go! Walk! It's so damning! "Yes! The myth of Stormwind is ending tonight! "! We've even toppled Cthun, are we still afraid of a mere human? ”
But they forgot one thing, this is voice software.
In an instant, the people of the alliance stopped.
"Yo? Push over? I've heard the biggest joke of the century, how many guilds have toppled it in a few years? The only time it was a sneak attack on Christmas! "Haha, when didn't you go in majestically and come out in disgrace, who was the last time you were killed and resurrected in ten minutes?" "We don't need to stop you, just let you in, what can the tribe do?"
This is a large regional voice software, and the players of the alliance tribes, who were originally happy, were suddenly divided into two factions, mocking and ridiculing one after another.
Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, because of a ten-second video, tonight's World of Warcraft is once again bloody.
Blizzard employees looked at the server in amazement, many AFK numbers were logged back in, and there were two places on the map that were most crowded.
Stormwind, Silysus!
Countless bone horses, Kodo beasts, and turkey mounts are frantically attacking MI7, but in the end, not everyone is a top team, and the tribal armies that have followed each other have piled up bone shelves at the door of MI7 that are several meters thick.
Most of the alliances watched for a long time, and only a few servers, and the tribe had top guilds, were involved in the battle, and on those few servers, the battle had ignited the blood of all players.
This night, the biggest upset finally broke out, since the last time the Tree of Life server first recommended the marshal, there are finally three other server tribes got their wish!
Dozens of nearly a hundred servers, only three!
All three are recognized as top trade unions.
Afterwards, some game media interviewed these union presidents, and all they got was one sentence: "I'd rather go to the most painful boss in the wasteland, and never want to fight the marshal again." ”
On that day, the alliance of the three servers launched a strong assault on Orgrimmar, one of the main cities of the tribe, poor Thrall was pushed down and pushed down, and the whole of Ogur was dyed red, and countless alliances rushed into the chieftain's hall and challenged the Great Chief with hysterical rage!
That's how the slaughter battle is, one side wins, and what is obtained is not a silence, but a more crazy revenge of the other side!
The tribe side was shocked to find that everyone on the alliance side had knocked on the top potion at that time!
Blizzard has already smiled crookedly, the influence of World of Warcraft, this moment will be expanded to the maximum, however, there is no largest, only bigger, and this bigger will be after the release of World of Warcraft!
How will the next contract be signed with Daybreak? Many Blizzard executives are already thinking about it.
A week later, the second video was released, this video, there is also no battle scene, what everyone is very eager for, those familiar moves, such as big dispersal, flame explosion, soul arrows, etc., did not appear, but no one was dissatisfied, but even more excited, because in this video, almost all the players' "spiritual pillars" appeared!
Grand Druid Vandal. Deerhelm, Archmage Gianna, High Priestess Windwhisperer Tyrande, Queen of Darkness Sylvanas, High Chief Thrall, Minotaur Chief Kane Bloodhoof...... Every person who appears can make Warcraft fans tingle with excitement.
So, that night, there was another large-scale slaughter of the city, and Blizzard was both painful and happy.
All the expectations have been reduced to one sentence! A phrase that appears almost every day on the Internet, on forums.
"When the hell will you start booking tickets?!"
Sony didn't bother at all, since it was going to be hungry marketing, it was better to do it to the extreme. Starting with the second video, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Comic Network...... You can see the big poster of World of Warcraft clearly.
Heroes of various races gathered, and at the forefront, there were Marshal Lin and Siloma, and behind them, there was a pitch-black eye.
It seems that the news of Warcraft can be seen in all directions, unless you don't go on the street, you can see the poster of Warcraft immediately on the street, but, if you calculate carefully, what else is there besides the poster?
No information, no tidbits, just two ten-second videos?
Movie fans, game fans, and fantasy fans around the world are already furious, and if it weren't for the distance, they would have smashed Blizzard's glass at this moment.
