Chapter 46: Coming to the Fore

9month15th,Saturday,"Immortal Dao"The first deletion test has ended,All the test data has also been settled,Because of the good results of this test,At the same time, because of the high quality and few bugs,After agreeing with Qingyu Network, it was announced yesterday,Next Monday,"Immortal Dao" will be officially opened for internal testing.

After eight days of testing, the data obtained can be said to be a surprise one after another.

Next day retention: 61%;

3-day retention: 43%;

7-day retention: 37%;

The retained data is not like a web game at all, it is completely at the level of a top-level terminal game. With the current web game market, these three data of 30%/20%/15% are already qualified, and "Immortal Dao" is almost twice as qualified as similar games.

Even if you take the terminal game as an example, "Eternal", which is also turn-based, has been a phenomenal product that has dominated the rankings for several years, and the retained data is only on par with "Immortal Dao". Admittedly, the deletion of the test data may not fully explain the problem, but "Immortal Dao" also has a lot of room for optimization, and targeted optimization can be carried out based on more detailed user behavior data.

At the same time, because of the fermentation of the first wave of word-of-mouth and the publicity effect of "the first RPG page game", when the first day of Jinyou has stopped directing, there is still organic traffic in the follow-up, and a total of more than 4,500 players have logged in to the game in the past 8 days.

The most critical data, during the deletion period, a total of 632,000 yuan was allocated for a single server of [Hongmeng Initial Development]!

Wang Xue published several key data on major game forums and portals at the first time, and the first reaction of most of the friends was: deceive...... Fake it......

In the player forum, a large number of players expressed their praise and love for this game, and some people even thought that China finally has a handy web game now. Of course, there are many players of other games downstairs to refute, and the arguments of both sides are torn back and forth, and the tallest building of the forum is soon built.

The first wave of media ratings has also been released, and their ratings are a little more professional.

The Demon Mountain game portal gave "Immortal Dao" an 8/10 rating: "The first truly pan-user RPG web game, a good choice for office workers to relax in the company." ”

Pacific Games gave a score of 7/10: "The breakthrough web game provides more creative ideas for practitioners of online games in the future." ”

Huang Yi Game Channel is 8/10 points: "The first RPG web game lives up to its name, and browser games are finally no longer limited to social networking and strategy. ”

Among these evaluations, the most eye-catching is that the editor-in-chief of "Video Game" magazine, Silence Lambs, gave "Fairy Road" a super high score of 9/10 on its portal for the first time, as the most authoritative game media, you can see what games he scored similar scores: two years ago, Shicheng acted as an agent for the first test of "Warcraft" in China, and he gave a perfect score of 10; Five years ago, the milestone "Eternity" was launched, and he gave it a 9; Four years ago, he gave a score of 9.5 to "Star Wars Night", which represented Icelandic CP on behalf of Century Network, and he gave a 7.5 score to other domestic manufacturers such as E Space-Time's hot domestic ARPG "Demon Punishment" this year.

At the same time, in the new issue of "Video Game" magazine released today, in the column recommended by his new game in each issue, the game "Immortal Dao" is introduced in detail, with a review report of up to 10,000 words.

Originally, this issue of the magazine wanted to introduce another new test of the end game, and the evaluation report had already been written, after the silent lambs experienced the "Immortal Dao", they rushed to the manuscript overnight, and finally changed to the "Immortal Dao Evaluation Report" before publication.

In this report, Silence of the Lambs details all the details of the game he experienced, as well as his professional evaluation from the perspective of his fifteen years in the industry, in the article he wrote: "If it were a real rating that only considers the game itself, I would still give "The Way of the Immortals" a relatively high score, but not a score of 9, after all, this is only a page game, there is no epic background plot, no shocking art effects, and there will be no gameplay like a client game." The biggest reason is that I think the emergence of "Immortal Dao" has taught all domestic game planners a lesson, focusing on the game experience, continuing to create freshness for players, extremely detailed novice guidance, and doing everything possible to lower the entry threshold for novices. ”

"I believe that after this game is really launched, it will become a template for many game planning and learning, although we have not yet obtained its accurate test data at this time, but I am almost sure that this is an epoch-making game, and domestic web games are about to enter a new era."

Silent Lambs this review caused an uproar among players and game manufacturers,If the ratings of other websites may be advertising advertorials,But no one will think so about the evaluation of Silent Lambs,The only doubt is that many people think that it is too high,As a respected senior figure in the game industry,Silent Lambs rarely has such praise for a domestic game。

Many people hurriedly Baidu "Immortal Dao" this game, entered the official website of Jinyou only to find that the deletion test has ended, and the server has been closed, but fortunately, two days later, the undeleted internal test is about to start, and I think that when the time comes, I must go to see what game can blow a flower in "Video Game".

Xia Qingyu flipped to Ye Shenxi, the "Video Game" magazine that reviewed the article: "Did you give money?" ”

Ye Shenxi, the Silent Lamb, had known him a long time ago, and he was a person with a particularly upright attitude, but he didn't expect to brag about himself like this, and he had goosebumps when he saw it.

I made a special call to express my gratitude: "Lamb, thank you for helping me say good things." ”

The voice on the other end of the phone was not smoky or angry, and he was not alarmed: "No need to thank you, Pasca, you don't know me, if your product is really not good, even if you give me money, I will still scold." ”

"I also think, how does the game feel, do you have any opinions?"

The Silence Lamb thought for a moment: "...... Can you tell me...... Uh, 20,000 prestige partners, which one is better......"

Ye Shenxi said with a smile: "Recruit the punishment heaven......"

"Got it."

"Doodoo ......"

Ye Shenxi was stunned, this guy hung up directly.

Xia Qingyu squinted at Ye Shenxi: "Connections, who else do you know, you know all the Silent Lambs." ”

Ye Shenxi shrugged and said, "I've been making games for so many years, isn't it normal to know a few people." ”

Xia Qingyu ignored him, and continued to rummage through major game websites, she has been trying to have fun with this for the past few days, looking at the evaluation articles of various media on the game, praise and depreciation, and never tire of it.

In the afternoon, Ye Shenxi received a call from Lewan Wang Xue and 770,000 Lu Yining, who should have seen the closed beta data announced by Cai Ping. The arrogant Wang Xue and Lu Yining both euphemistically said that they had looked away before, and asked Ye Shenxi and Jinyou whether they signed an exclusive agency or a joint operation agreement, and if it was a joint operation, they also wanted to join it.

Ye Shenxi said that he signed an exclusive agency agreement with Jinyou, and now "Immortal Dao" is fully responsible for the operation of Huangpu Jinyou, if you also want to operate "Immortal Dao", you can communicate with Jinyou.

Wang Xue and Lu Yining on the phone were silent for a moment before politely saying goodbye and hanging up the phone, their regret overflowing.

Because of the encouragement of the deletion of the data, Cai Ping increased the amount of advertising, and on the top ten game websites in terms of traffic, he could see the news of "Immortal Dao" in the most conspicuous position on the homepage in the past few days, scrolling repeatedly. For a while, before the official launch of this game, it has attracted much attention, and the topic and discussion have reached a high point.

Finally at 10 o'clock in the morning on Monday, September 17th, the undeleted test of "Immortal Dao" officially started.

Although there are preparations for entering the gamer's level, the number still exceeds Cai Ping's expectations, and in the case of a full server, the second and third servers were temporarily opened in the afternoon, and each group of servers has an order of about 5,000 people, so as to ensure that the player's normal game experience has not been affected.

Because most of the first server are deleted test players and enjoy the recharge return of the deleted test, the paid data is relatively mediocre, but the performance of the second and third servers is surprising, even surpassing the deleted test server. By 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the total turnover of these three servers was close to 800,000, and it may not be impossible for the turnover to break 1 million on the first day of service opening this whole day.

The content of the current "Immortal Dao" before level 90 has been completely completed, and the development team is preparing various event content while optimizing and bugging it, not only festival activities, but also mid-to-late PVP activities.

After discussing with Ye Shenxi, Cai Ping listened to Ye Shenxi's suggestion, maintained the rhythm of opening the server at a new server every three days, and increased marketing investment.

More and more players are listening, clicking, and logging in to this game called "Immortal Dao".

And the horror of this game is just beginning to emerge.
