Chapter 906 Two charging modes of point card and monthly card
In 2005, in just one month of the 45-level capping public beta of "World of Warcraft", the third ranked was criticized, blamed, and complained about by countless people.
When the main players of the free field killed in front of Princess Thrydes, everyone was stunned, they fantasized all the way, beautiful, kind-hearted, infatuated, loyal, and unswerving love Princess Thrydes, turned out to be such a woman who was wearing a chest and showing eight-pack abs, but eight feet tall and eight feet in waistline, which was terrifying!
"Vomit ......"
"I'm cǎo! Which guy just said he had aimed at her? ...... vomit"
"Nima! The son of the demigod Cenarius would have taken a fancy to such a superb woman? He also gave birth to a bunch of centaurs with her...... ...... vomit"
"I can't do it, I can't do it, I'm going out for a cigarette. You guys are going to fight instead, and as soon as I think of the scene of pressing her to the ground and ravaging her, I ...... ...... vomit"
The players of the free field saw this princess Thrydes wearing a bikini-like costume, they were really unappetizing, and the good mood along the way was completely gone, but they wiped out the group four times, and they fought all the way to it, but they didn't expect it to be such a guard boss.
"Brute! The designers of Longteng are all brutes! Such an ugly woman can still be called a princess, I will remember it for the rest of my life! The most beautiful Snow White in the world, the little mermaid princess the daughter of the sea, and the sleeping beauty Princess Aurora, they are worthy of being called princesses! But Princess Thrydes ...... It's ruining your childhood......"
"I guess these cattle designers must be laughing at us, right, the woman who made such an ugly woman is still called a princess. Lao Tzu almost threw up. ”
"Zarta is heavy, really hard. I can't imagine what kind of earth-shattering battle it would be. It's so beautiful that I don't dare look at it......"
This guy actually sang Cai Yilin's "Prague Square", which made everyone laugh again.
The princess's skills are very powerful, more than 20,000 blood, and there are 6 levels of level suppression, everyone sees her name, and all they show is a red name, a thief can only hit fifty or sixty with a backstab, a mage can only knock out forty with an ice arrow, and the free field team was ravaged to death by the princess 5 times. Finally came up with the right tactics.
"This copy can't be fought like the Scarlet Monastery, we have to find a way. First I'm going to put my back against the wall so she can't knock me away, and then the thief stabs her ass/eye, yes, you just said to aim for her ass! If you are shocked and lose blood, put yourself in bandages, and drink your own medicine, no one will be able to add you. Then the priest and the mage Xiaode dispersed from a distance. Fan-shaped, pastor plus me! Xiaode, don't get close, turn into a human form to help add blood, this fat pig hurts too much. I can't stand her abs......"
MT reluctantly lays out his tactics, and the team tries to push/bring down the princess for the sixth time.
"Fart, fart, fart! Spread out! I've opened the shield wall! ”
"Bandage bandage! Shelter from the wind, run in position! ”
"Addiction/Medicine, brothers!"
"The mage relies on you to output!"
"Keep it up!"
"Damn! Finally dead! ”
The crowd cheered. Start picking up corpses and divide equipment. MT looked tired, and he right-clicked. A distinctive piece of equipment appeared on his screen - purple! Blades of Endless Darkness!
"Purple gear!"
MT exclaimed, and screams erupted in the LC voice team.
"What purple suit?"
"I saw it, I saw it, don't throw the dice!"
"A dagger equipped with one hand, attack speed 1.5, damage per second 34! Has a chance to deal 102 Shadow damage to enemies and restore 102 mana to you! ”
"Haha! My Master's Dagger! The Master finally has a purple dagger! ”
"The effect of the equipment against the sky, isn't this super blue? I'm so envious, purple! I still have a green hat on my body that I haven't replaced, grass! ”
Everyone else chose to give up, and the mage threw it happily, and the result was 1 o'clock, which shocked him into a cold sweat, and everyone laughed.
This was perhaps the first team to pass Guò Maladon, at least in the Valley of Kings, and the purple dagger became a symbol of the highest honor.
Maybe it's not as valuable as the Jordan Staff bound to the equipment, or the Blood Blade, but it's a level 49 purple equipment, and after argumentation, this is the best weapon for Arcane in AOE mob leveling, all of which arouse everyone's envy and jealousy.
On the same day, Maraton's strategy was put on the official forum of the World of Warcraft by the members of the free field, interspersed with a large number of their complaints, as well as the true appearance of Princess Thrydes, which became popular all of a sudden, and was quickly topped into a hot post.
Yang Yun noticed this post when he was bored reading the forum, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's been Maladon in a month, it's not bad, the national server players are really powerful, but they spray Princess Thrydes, isn't it a bit too much?" ”
At this time, Marcos received a call from Bill, and after the other party finished talking about the princess of Maradon on the forum, he laughed to his heart's content: "Marcos, go to the forum to see your wife, the players have said that they will have nightmares tonight!" ”
"FVCKYou Bill, it's you who are full of bad taste, you made Malaton's teleportation table look like a bio/colonizer, you pervert!"
Marcos hung up the phone and glanced at his wife, who was mopping the floor in the living room, her face was a little feverish, his wife weighed 80 kilograms, he did add the shadow of his wife when designing the character of Princess Thrydes, and once said this kind of thing in a joke, saying "When you come home and see a strong wife, oh, you will definitely think differently." ”
For example, when Bill was designing Malaton's delivery of the Serebra Teleportation Scepter, the altar building that the scepter was inserted into really resembled a tall and sturdy male scepter, which can only be said to be the bad taste of their group of designers!
At 0:00 a.m. on September 30th, World of Warcraft stopped public beta testing, and released the official version at 8 o'clock in the morning, "World of Warcraft" 1.1 version, this time increasing the upper limit of the game level to 60 levels, modifying some unreasonable bugs, and officially opening the charging scheme to players all over the world for the first time, and it is planned to officially charge on November 1, 2005, that is, there is still a 1-month free period.
In China, the game uses two consumption models, as in Legends, a card model and a monthly subscription model.
The point card is 30 yuan a piece, 4000 minutes, which is equivalent to 0.45 yuan / hour, and the monthly card is 200 yuan for 30 days without time limit.
If calculated according to 24 hours a day without going offline for 30 days a month, the monthly card is equivalent to 0.28 yuan / hour, but if it is only a casual player who only plays 5 hours a day from 7 o'clock to 12 o'clock, the monthly card is 2 yuan / hour, casual players of course choose the point card is cost-effective, they have a maximum of 3 point cards a month, and people who are online for more than 15 hours a day choose a monthly card is more cost-effective.
For this pricing, domestic players first complained for a while, the price is expensive!
The cost of Internet access is 1 yuan per hour for ordinary Internet café garbage machines, and the cost of Internet access for new machines that can play World of Warcraft is 2 yuan, which originally put players under a lot of pressure, and now it has risen by 0.45 yuan per hour, and many college students say that they can't afford to play the game.
The price in 2005 was very cheap, not to mention the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but the provincial capitals of ordinary provinces, Xingcheng, Jiangcheng, Quancheng, Tianfu and these cities, 2 yuan 5 can play three or two rice and a dish with meat in the canteen, 5 yuan can fry a plate of shredded green pepper meat alone, 15 yuan a sauerkraut fish pot boy, 20 yuan can be exchanged for beef and mutton, and it is no problem to eat three or four boys.
Yang Yun hesitated for a long time when the fixed-point card price, he remembered the hard days when he played World of Warcraft, there was really no money at that time, he had never made money in the game since he played a book of summoning divine beasts in the legend and sold it for 500 yuan, and the 45-level World of Warcraft was at the end of his game, and when he was asked to rush to level 60, he had to continue for a while.
Although now because of his relationship with Long Teng, the attitude of the Chinese people towards the game is gradually supportive, and many people's economic life has become more affluent, but the large number of student parties is still very poor, and he once wanted to reduce the price, anyway, Long Teng is not all counting on World of Warcraft to make money, even if it is to reduce the cost of point cards, it will not have much impact on Long Teng's income.
But Zhao Yongping denied his initial pricing of 0.3 yuan per hour, saying: "If 0.3 yuan, first, it seems that our World of Warcraft is too cheap." Second, there will be more low-income or no-income players joining, which will increase the burden on the game server. Third, if the monthly card becomes 100 yuan a piece, there will be quite a lot of people hanging up, and our server will be more burdened. ”
Yang Yun felt reasonable: "The point card is 0.45 yuan an hour, and the monthly card is increased to 200 yuan, we encourage players to play casual games, moderate games, and do not encourage 24-hour online professional gold team." ”
With the joint efforts of Longteng and Huawei, China's network coverage speed and the number of netizens are soaring, and the maximum number of simultaneous online users on the World of Warcraft server exceeds 10,000, so if the number of people hanging up around the clock should not be too much, the 200 yuan monthly card must only be purchased by those studios, and occasionally there is a large amount of money to consume, which will not have too much impact.
Continuing the old path of the original World of Warcraft, Yang Yun is handy at home, while his attention is focused on overseas, and the overseas market, which is several times that of Chinese gamers, can bring him more profits.
In European and American countries, you first need to buy the installation package of World of Warcraft, which is $24.99 a set, and then buy a monthly card to pay for the game, the 30-day prepaid time card is sold for $15, and if it is pounds or euros, it will fluctuate by no more than 30% of the exchange rate and nationality division.
