Both versions are running,Both have added the latest LongChat chat module,When you fail to connect to the Internet, it is an ordinary in-game chat,You can call the instant messaging function when you connect to the Internet,The dialogue area in the game is a public chat room,You can open the friend list,Select online friends for private chat communication,Do the game chat is correct。

Yang Yun is most satisfied with this, the original game reserved a chat room and a connection to the Internet interface, and after the LongChat software was produced, Eric, a technical expert, quickly integrated the LongChat core module into the game, so that the chat tool and the game are tightly tied, "Diablo 1" The chat area in the game is the core function of LongChat software!

"Excellent! I like your ...... very much. Rogue software practices! Yang Yun was very impressed, he cited Microsoft's example: "There is a Windows operating system that forcibly bundles and sells all kinds of Microsoft's office software, and other anti-monopoly investigation agencies should not use our Longteng games to bundle and promote LongChat, right?" ”

Marcos laughed: "No, LongChat is free software, and if it is not profitable, it will not cause commercial investigations." While free information exchange via Internet data transmission protocols may cause dissatisfaction among telecommunications companies, the high cost of the Internet is more than enough to make up for it, and no one should bother us. This is different from Microsoft's office software, which five years ago cost $500 for a Word business software, which of course caused displeasure among other office software makers. ”

$500 for a Word text editing software, tsk. Yang Yun smacked his tongue, no wonder Microsoft will become the largest IT company in the world so quickly!

"I'm happy with everything else. I'll leave this game to the company's operation and sales department, thank you for your hard work! Xie Lu thanked everyone for their hard work over the past year. Thank you for everything you have done for Longteng Company, I will give you a holiday and enjoy it! Yang Yun stood up and bowed to the Blizzard development team in thanks.

The Blizzard team deserves Yang Yun's attention and gratitude, if it weren't for their original team to join, Yang Yun might have to spend a lot of time in the production of the game, starting from the dark world view, maybe he will fall to the point where the tiger can't become an anti-dog, and the game of darkness is so complicated that it can't be completed by one person at all!

In the future, the development cycle of large-scale games will be measured in years. It's normal for a masterpiece to be developed for two or three years, Yang Yun is not reborn with a game hard disk, he is just an intern editor of a game magazine, he has played games in college for a few years, he only sees the surface of the game at the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the core of the game, the dark rules are much more complicated than the DND rules, Yang Yun has a headache when he looks at the DND rules.

Marcos and others returned the salute and applauded warmly. hugged each other and celebrated each other, laughing and laughing.

They also thanked Yang Yun from the bottom of their hearts, if it wasn't for Yang Yun who saved them with funds when they were poor, maybe they would have been disbanded long ago. How is it possible to see a masterpiece designed by yourself now?

……

……

The game listing plan of "Diablo 1" has listed specific matters, and when Yang Yun comes back to determine the time, the operation department will start.

The launch is scheduled for May 1, International Labor Day. Time was a bit of a stretch, but the marketing and operations departments had already prepared everything. At the end of April, the global synchronous publicity began.

This is the most important RPG game of Dragon Soar in 1996, and it was released for PC and SS at the same time. Make different packaging and marketing plans for different customer groups.

The PC version is a hardcover 4-disc that comes with the Dark History Handbook novel, Bestiary, dungeon maze map, an individually numbered membership card, and two vouchers that can be redeemed for two competitive demos of Saloman: Red Alert and Special Forces for $79 in the future.

The SS version doesn't have a voucher and has an extra giant poster, which costs only $59, which is cheaper than the PC version, mainly because players who buy SS won't necessarily like PC competitive games.

The free voucher in the PC set,Actually, it's experienced in this sales difference.,Buy without selling the fine.,How can Longteng give away two games for free.,$79 is just a 59+10+10 package package.。

The Red Alert game with a price of $10 is not a loss, plus the future single-player campaign, expanding the map pack, expanding the troops, BUG maintenance and fixing, etc., the complete game is only sold for about $60, and it is to promote WCG, the first real-time strategy competitive game to promote LongChat chat software, Longteng This is exchanging sales for the market, which belongs to the money-burning stage.

Yang Yun made a suggestion to the marketing department, this time hunger marketing.

Therefore, after these carefully packaged game boxes are placed on the shelves of Longteng counters around the world, as well as large and small authorized stores, the cumulative sales of each store do not exceed 100 boxes per day, even if it is a flagship store in Tokyo or Paris and New York, it is also limited to 1000 boxes, first come, first served, limited to 2 boxes per person, until sold out.

Many people were puzzled by Yang Yun's decision, and players were in a love-hate relationship.

After several months of promotion by many mainstream professional game magazines around the world, the story background and operation interface of Diablo 1 have become accustomed to players.

Occasionally, screenshots of the operation interface revealed from the Shanghai Longteng R&D Center, the introduction of NPC stories, the in-depth analysis of the declining heroes, and the game production tidbits are seducing the hearts of players all the time.

However, players are furious that they can only buy a limited number of games every day, even miners who take leave may not be able to buy them, and they go to the queue at dawn every day but can't get in the top 100.

The 1st is International Labor Day, and ordinary workers in Europe and the United States are all on holiday, and they give up their rest time to buy the latest RPG game of Longteng, but they were told that it was sold out after noon, and more and more people are still coming one after another, everyone is coming with full hope, but this hope is artificially punctured, and the rejected people are all protesting dissatisfied.

"Game software is a disc production, how can it be underproduced?"

"Sorry sir, due to some special reasons, the headquarters requires a limited sale, if you don't have time to queue, you can leave the registration number, once the headquarters cancels the limit, we will call to notify you!"

"What special reason? Are there any special reasons for restricting purchases? If you can sell it, sell it, if you can't sell it, don't put it on the shelves at all, what does the purchase limit mean? ”

"Sorry sir, Diablo 1 is a good game, we all hope it sells well, but there are always some special reasons that hold it back from ......"

"Could it be that someone doesn't allow the game to be released? Dragon is the largest video game platform in the world, and although there are no big games on PC yet, it won't be so easily suppressed, right? ”

"I'm sorry sir, Longteng operates in good faith and is strict with himself, but it is really inconvenient for us to evaluate the ...... peers"

"Shet! If you want to play a game, you can't feel at ease! Where is the phone registered? ”

"Please go that way...... Thank you for your support! ”

On the first day of the first launch, there was such a conversation in Longteng franchise stores all over the world, and the countermeasures of the authorized store were simpler, and in the face of the players' dissatisfied doubts, the authorized store said indignantly: "There are PC game manufacturers who suppress Longteng, and they want to sue Longteng for plagiarism!" ”

Longteng plagiarism? In the minds of ordinary players, only others have copied Dragon Games, when has Dragon Copied other games? Players who purchased the game on the same day will experience the content of the game for the first time after returning home, and enter the Dark World Realm to experience the Western Magical World Realm.

Some people have vaguely guessed something, from the previous propaganda, everyone knows the Tao, the theme of Western magic, the exploration of the dungeon world, the world of sword and magic, the battle between heaven and hell, the war between human heroes and evil monsters, all of which should be related to the content of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Dungeons and Dragons".

After entering the game, they felt it even deeper.

The dark interface, the raging flames, and the black main tone tell players that this is indeed inextricably linked to the dungeon dungeon.

Looking at the professions, warriors, mages, archers, and monks, each of them corresponds to different main attributes, different ways to add points, and different skill trees.

Equipped with powerful heavy armor, intelligence cloth armor, balanced light armor, physical attack power is 10-20 such a similar area range, and magic has multi-system elements such as fireball ice bombs.

Isn't all this a demonstration of the desktop version of DND rules on a PC?

Traditional European and American players who are proficient in DND rules are addicted, usually a few friends need to spend half a day to play a good table game, if it is not really fun and interesting, this kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive game they have long abandoned, how many years have they waited for a PC version of DND masterpiece, what are you waiting for? Of course, it's fun enough!

There are also some peers in the game industry who know the inside story of the road, SSI is the only authorized adaptation company of DND, SSI's "Dungeon War" game is the earliest version of the PC version of the orthodox DND, I haven't heard that Dragon Teng has also been authorized, their "Diablo 1", what kind of game is it?

While everyone is wondering, players are getting deeper and deeper into the core of the game, and before they know it, they are addicted to it, saddening the misfortune of the Kane family, grieving the destruction of Tristram, lamenting the fall of Skeletron, and being angry at the brutality of Diablo and the archbishop.

After calming down, everyone was thinking, is this really a DND rule game? Why should such an epic game that can be called history-making be suppressed?

Players are outraged, who is trying to suppress the game?

On May 2nd, there was a long queue at the door of the flagship store of Longteng Games in New York, and outside the long line was a large group of organized young college students, each of whom held a wooden cardboard with two lines of large letters written on it: "Need a game, refuse to limit purchases!"
