Chapter 558 - Issuing a City Establishment Order
The new changelog has once again sparked a heated discussion among players.
The second batch of open beta players hasn't felt much yet.
They have just integrated into the game, and they are still in the midst of exciting exploration and games, although they are curious about the so-called city construction and city lord system, but more thoughts are still on how to upgrade and liver contribution to buy equipment......
But it's not the same with veteran players.
Death in the Desert War, many of them have graduated.
Now, they're either waiting to draw a silver spot, or they're trying to figure out how to contribute to the liver for the sake of a top-level god suit.
In a word...... The pressure to level up is temporarily gone, and the time for free play is increasing.
Therefore, when they saw that the urban construction system was to be opened, their eyes lit up.
Establish a new player city with the guild alliance as a unit, and the player will be the city lord and manage the city by himself.
This...... Isn't it an enhanced guild territory?
No...... Considering the degree of freedom in Elven Realm, this is definitely much more interesting than the so-called guild territory in other online games!
The Chosen City is good, but as the population grows more and more crowded, the pace of expansion can't keep up with the increase in new players.
Even the newly expanded areas are far less attractive than the neighborhoods in the core area, given the distance.
Not only that, because there are too many people online, the liver has to queue up to take tasks every time every day, which is simply toxic......
And at this time, if you can have the opportunity to build a new city, a city that belongs to your own gang, although you need to fight from scratch, but in the long run, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless!
"Elf Country" has such a high degree of freedom, and the sense of epic and participation is also very strong, if the new city built is well managed, maybe it can really make the main city famous in the entire Saigs world!
It's not impossible.
When the Chosen City was built, who would have thought that the small town with only 300 players would develop into a metropolis with a population of hundreds of thousands.
And if you really do it, it will be very rewarding and very immersive.
In addition, the castle lord system is also very attractive.
Power is something that will be sought after by people everywhere.
Imagine owning a city under your name...... That must be a wonderful feeling!
Of course, ordinary people will definitely not be able to become city lords.
But even if you can't become the lord of the city and become the patriarch of a new city, it will definitely be profitable in the long run.
Don't you see, have the housing prices in the core area of the Chosen City been speculated to the sky?
And which of the original 300 players didn't have a single-family villa in the core area?
Even if they are salted fish, relying on the houses in the built-up area, their worth is enough for the newcomers to look up to......
Thinking of this, the high-level leaders of the major guilds have moved.
"It's okay, it's going to build a new city, this time our first legion must be registered!"
"Yes, it's best to build a city in the northern area of the Elven Forest, otherwise it's too inconvenient to run back and forth every time you farm monsters."
"Haha, are you going to build a new city? I feel like I'm going to get rich! ”
"Rich? The qualifications for building this city have a total of 60 million contributions, and if you get rich, you're going to go bankrupt, right? ”
"Hey, we're from the Meng Meng Committee, and our construction brigade is already hungry and thirsty."
"Damn, it turned out to be you black-hearted real estate developers......"
"The ...... of the Evil Capitalists"
“……”
Even some small and medium-sized guilds looked at the explanation of the alliance and were eager to try.
"Xincheng, it feels so interesting, can we give it a try?"
"But it's too hard to qualify, isn't it? 60 million contributions...... If we sell it, our guild won't be able to make it up, let alone the number of people......"
"Cooperate with other guilds? I think this guild alliance still has a head, and it can't always make a few guilds bigger, right? ”
"Hey, I really envy those big guilds that don't take out tens of millions without breathing, just donate a few thousand points of contribution per person, it's too difficult for small guilds......"
"Small is also good for small, big guilds also have disadvantages of big guilds, the more people they are, the more bloated they are, the more difficult they are to manage, and there are many rules and regulations, or our kind of family and friend group is comfortable, the only drawback is probably that the guild's strength is too weak."
"Each has its pros and cons."
The discussion among the players is getting hotter and hotter.
During this time, Eve also selected more than 20 suitable locations in her area for building a city according to the needs of development.
As the de facto controller of an area of millions of kilometers, and a true god with vast magical powers, Eve still has a set of choices for choosing a location to build a city.
These locations were not chosen at random, but were chosen by Him based on a combination of strategic needs, geographical location, and physical conditions.
Needless to say, there is a need for strategy.
Those key locations...... For example, the area in the northern area of the Elven Forest close to the former kingdom of God, the dark mountain area connecting the Death Desert and the Elven Forest, and the eastern area of the Elven Forest across the river from the Holy Mania Empire, etc., are all locations where Eve plans to build a city.
Of course, the specific locations in a certain area are also carefully selected by Eve.
It must not only be suitable for building a city, but also have resources worthy of building a city.
For example, three locations in Eve Green in the resource-poor Dark Mountains region.
One is in a basin suitable for fortification, which is itself a relatively rich area in the Dark Mountains; One is at the junction of the Dark Mountains and the Fertile Plains, where the land is quite fertile; Another is that it is close to the underground world, which can not only open up the passage to the underground world, but also contain a lot of mineral deposits......
Of course, despite the three green spots in the Dark Mountains, Eve only plans to build a city here, and once a player guild chooses one of the three locations, the other two will be removed from the suitable locations.
Not to mention the Elven Forest, almost anywhere is fertile, only need to consider the terrain and geographical location, among the more than twenty locations marked green, except for three in the Dark Mountain area, the rest are all Elven Forest.
In Eve's plan, considering the needs of development and strategy, it is best to have a guaranteed main city in the Dark Mountains, the eastern border of the Elven Forest, and the northern part of the Elven Forest.
Elven Forest is okay to say.
The eastern border is close to the Vimur River (see Chapter 210 for details), which is the largest river in the Seggs continent, across the bank from the Holy Mania Empire, and there are often merchant ships from the southern Iris Kingdom and the Holy Manian Empire on weekdays......
This is still very attractive to those big guilds who have already started to trade with the human world.
Although the northern area is far away from the core area, Warcraft resources are very rich, which is very attractive for high-level players who like to farm monsters and adventure.
Since a few months ago, there have been complaints that it takes too much time to travel between the northern and southern cores, and if a city is actually built, it will definitely meet the needs.
Not to mention, the predecessor's kingdom of God also fell in that direction, and Eve plans to officially open the exploration of the kingdom of God to players in the near future.
It is foreseeable that even if the North District is far away, there is a high probability that it will become a hot spot for city building.
I'm afraid that no one wants to go to the Dark Mountains......
Compared to the forest of elves with abundant materials, the dark mountains are still too barren, the concentration of magic here is not high, the transportation is not convenient, and even building a city is quite challenging.
However, as a unique "mountain", maybe someone is really interested?
In this regard, Eve's plan was to introduce players to the location suitable for building a city, and the packaging was blown up.
For example, the mountain city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, for example, the strategic position of connecting the Death Desert and the Elven Forest is very important, such as the potential to stimulate the hidden plot or something......
Three key areas guarantee three cities, and the rest of the regions are left to the player.
Now there are 360,000 players in "Elven Country", and if you count 30,000 players, it is 12 cities, excluding fractions, Eve thinks there must be 10 cities, right?
He was looking forward to it.
In order to make it easier for players to choose, and for them to prepare in advance, three days after the changelog was released, Eve uploaded these more than 20 locations to the official website forum.
For a while, it pushed the popularity of construction to a new peak......
……
Time flies.
Before you know it, the update date has arrived, and the urban construction system is about to be officially opened.
The Chosen City, the central temple.
Today's temple square is more lively than ever.
On the square, in the buildings on both sides, you can see players everywhere.
The sound of frolicking, shouting, one after another, is as lively as a celebration.
Players wore a variety of equipment, both high-level and newcomers, and many looked in the direction of the temple with curiosity and excitement.
However, compared to the almost crowded square, the temple seemed rather deserted.
In the past, the Life Chapel was crowded with people and even seemed crowded due to the influx of open beta players, but at this moment, there is not even one player, which looks very strange.
From the square, you will find that the place where the players gather has a clear dividing line with the temple, and no one steps in a circle around the temple.
It felt as if there was an invisible barrier preventing players from entering the temple.
No, it's not a feeling.
It's that they really can't get into the temple.
This is what Eve did.
Today is the day when players officially apply for the city, and Eve will grant the city-building order to the qualified guild as the Divine Servant Zero.
In order to prevent some guilds from exploiting loopholes to brush the city construction order, and in order to make players pay more attention to the city construction quota, she decided to use the Saiggs world time as the benchmark in the future, and open it every three months to uniformly distribute the city construction order.
The distribution location is the main hall of the temple in the Chosen City, and there is only two hours to apply for it that day, and the processor is Zero, the Divine Favorite, that is, Eve's vest.
It is also for this reason that in order to prevent the crowding of players watching the excitement of the temple, she deliberately forbade them from stepping into the nearby area through the game system.
Today, within two hours from now, only guilds that meet the application conditions will be able to send representatives to enter the temple.
Outside the temple, Li Mu waited quietly while looking at the time.
It was not yet seven o'clock in the morning in the world of Saigas, and the door of the main hall of the temple was still closed, and only the side hall was open to the public.
However, he was already a little impatient.
In four days, the Nature's Heart Guild has gathered enough contributions and is now waiting to apply for the city.
As for the location of the city......
Yesterday, the top management of the Nature's Heart Guild had been discussing for a day and decided to choose between the northern area of the Elven Forest and the eastern border.
The former is suitable for monster farming, and the latter is suitable for trading, both of which are very good.
In addition to Li Mu, the presidents of the other three major guilds, the tomato fried tomatoes of the First Legion, Xiao Xianmeow of the Meng Meng Committee, and the transformer Ji Gang, who changed the name of the guild from Autobots to the Knights of the Scourge, also came.
Several well-known bigwig players from all over the server gathered together, which also aroused exciting discussions among the surrounding players:
"Brother Mu? That's Brother Mu, right? It's the first time I've seen a real person! ”
"Sure enough, the Nature's Heart, the First Legion, the Moe Committee, and the Autobot bosses are here, envious...... To be rich is to be capricious, and the contribution of 60 million is simply astronomical. ”
"Hey, after all, it's a top-level guild, even the Autobots have more than 30,000 players after this update, oh...... No, it's called the Knights of the Scourge now, and even the guild flag has been changed to a sword and shield. ”
"Tsk, that's a lot better, the previous guild names sounded so weird, Autobots or something...... It sounds like a drama than the cute committee. ”
"Hahaha...... Don't let Sister Meow hear this, be careful that the house price increases for you. ”
"Sister Meow is here too? Where is it? ”
"Well, over there."
"! This outfit is full of equipment, it's all a silver-gold legend, right? It is worthy of being the first trench in the whole server......"
"Sour, evil capitalist."
"I don't want to work hard, let's go lick Sister Meow together, right?"
"Sister Meow said, I licked her enough, and there is no shortage of you."
"Sad."
Looking at the several gorgeously equipped and powerful figures waiting outside the temple, the players talked a lot.
However, in addition to the four major guilds that are never absent from big events, there are also some other unfamiliar figures this time.
"Look! It's the All-Star Guild, and they're here too. ”
"All-Star ...... I remember they were professional clubs, right? Also coming to "Elven Country"? ”
"It came during the fourth test, but the development was not very good at that time, and it rushed up after the open beta, and now the number of guilds in the whole guild is about to exceed 20,000, and it is expected to become the fifth largest guild in the future."
"Less than 20,000 people, not enough people to build a city, right?"
"They united several small and medium-sized guilds and formed an alliance."
"I see......"
"Huh? That's the president of the Silver Hand, right? Is he coming too? Although their guild is also first-class, the number of people barely exceeds 10,000, right? ”
"Yes, but they and a few other guilds have formed an alliance of Azeroth guilds, which is qualified enough, and they plan to apply for the establishment of a city."
"That's nice...... It's a pity that there are too few people in our guild, only more than 1,000 people. ”
"It's a lot, our guild is super small, there are only more than 200 people, but if you really want to participate in the construction of the city, the Eve Goddess support group over there is pulling a small guild, and a thousand people can join."
"Poof...... What guild name is this......"
"It's a new guild established by players in the first open beta, there are more than 3,000 people, and now dozens of small guilds have formed an alliance, crowdfunded contributions, and plan to build a city."
Watching the lively players are in high spirits.
And a moment later, the temple bell rang slowly......
The time has come to issue the order for the establishment of the city.
Li Mu and the others, who were waiting outside the temple, looked happy.
They have opened the game system one after another, and paid the contributions that have been prepared for a long time on the newly appeared urban construction application interface.
And after the contribution is deducted, they are also eligible to enter the temple.
Under the envious gaze of other players, the elites of these 360,000 players, the leaders of various guilds and guild alliances, couldn't wait to step into the main hall of the temple.
