His teammates don't have much ambition, for them, as long as they have money.

At Riot's headquarters in the United States, where an epic overhaul has been underway for three years, Greg Streeter, Riot's current chief game designer, looks at a giant LCD monitor with a series of codes densely packed on it.

In gaming circles, his code name is Ghost Crab.

is also a famous backstabber.

In fact, at Riot, Ghost Crab is not responsible for modifying and designing heroes, and he doesn't tell the team how to do it. And now the ghost crab is really concerned with how to make the game last longer.

Interestingly, before joining the gaming industry, Ghost Crab's real identity was a marine biologist, but he was not very well-known, and he has only become famous since working in the games industry and becoming the chief system designer under Blizzard.

Of course...

It's a reputation that has been scolded.

As long as there are any major changes in World of Warcraft, first scold the ghost crab, and the League of Legends is the same, as long as the League of Legends weakens the hero and strengthens the hero, the first thing for players is to 'cordially greet' Comrade Ghost Crab.

Now, Riot is preparing to complete a project that has lasted nearly three years, 'World Server Construction', and this project is under great pressure.

Generally, when there is a merge area, and when there is a ghost area, it is the era when a game is really in decline.

The architecture of the world server is to integrate all the servers at once, and connect to the servers all over the world under the connection of the host server, and this project is still being tested.

Once successful, the first to enjoy it is only the pros.

When the World Server Project is successful, the skins and heroes on the account will not change, and the hidden points and ranks will be restored to the initial state.

The difficulty in the real implementation is that the Chinese server is too large, and the region is too large, and there are many miscellaneous regions besides Ionia.

Sometimes the distinction between networking and telecommunications also needs to be considered.

Even Ghost Crab wonders if players on the Chinese server will need to hook up an accelerator like a VPN to play when the world server is really open.

Fortunately, this problem was resolved at the beginning of this year.

Riot spent a year optimizing its entire server for this seemingly simple but difficult problem, but such a server can easily collapse if it is attacked by hackers.

One after another, the whole project consumed a huge amount of money from Riot Company, and even the Penguin Group sponsored a large amount of money.

When I did this plan, the ghost crab didn't have any hope at first, but after three years of succession, when it was successful, it was still full of surprises.

"Is it now possible to officially activate the world server?" The ghost crab groaned for a moment and said.

A technician in overalls said, "It's okay to enable the world server, but this server crashes easily, and my idea is to take it step by step." ”

"Let's announce the matter of the world service first."

"But the original server still hasn't made any changes, players can still play on the previous server as before, and the rank and hide can't be zeroed."

"And once we register and enter the world server, we will consider restoring the rank and hidden points."

The ghost crab nodded.

This is indeed a safe approach, and if players slowly pour into the world server, they will also have a period of time to deal with all kinds of instability in the world server.

If you insist on going your own way, directly promote the world service.

If the world server crashes automatically due to the full number of players as soon as it is opened, I am afraid that a large number of players will be lost.

"Let's let the pros know first! With the introduction of the world server, many professional players do not have to go to Hanbok for training. Ghost Crab said with a smile.

"The world server will be the most intense server for training."

He suddenly thought of something, and said again, "As for the world server, I plan to add another rank above the strongest king." ”

"You say." The technician quickly tapped on the keyboard and said, "But adding a rank will take at least three days to set up this program." ”

"Fortune 500." Ghost Crab showed a playful smile, "Anyone who can play the world's top 500 segment can also get a reward from our Riot Company." ”

"A real-life version of a monumental badge."

"There are 500 badges issued every season, and there are only these 500 badges in the world, so that everyone feels that it is an honor to be in the world's top 500."

Several designers next to him recorded all the words of the ghost crab.

The world's top 500 companies are a very interesting setting.

"Also, do we have an official roster of professional players?" The ghost crab asked, narrowing his eyes.

One designer said, "We don't seem to be able to control these things on our side, and the roster of professional players is something from another department. ”

The ghost crab nodded.

The next thing he wants to do is to expand the status of professional players and prepare an identity black card for every official professional player who has registered.

Keep track of each pro's CV over their entire career.

Again, this is a costly project, but Ghost Crab is confident that it will convince Riot's management that this will ensure that League of Legends will not lose popularity anytime soon.

And there is a high probability that the popularity of League of Legends will soar more and more.

As long as there are no accidents in the plan of the world server.

"Overwatch's playability is too low, and the only thing that's interesting is his ranking system, the ladder system." Ghost Crab knows what Blizzard is in today's situation.

World of Warcraft remains the main development game of Blizzard.

Overwatch is just a game that Blizzard is experimenting with, and there is still little energy to really focus on Overwatch.

The biggest drawback of Overwatch is that one season produces 1~2 heroes.

Overwatch, which only has more than 20 heroes in itself, and the speed of heroes is so slow that it almost can't leave any players, and most of the players who remain now are attracted by the ladder setting.

Everyone wants to be in the top 500 in the region.

And the right thing for the ghost crab is to set a Fortune 500 setting for League of Legends, even if it is a bit borrowed from Overwatch.

However, it is still a question whether it will be useful at this time.
