Chapter 093: Media Voices
Large Internet cafes in large and medium-sized cities across the country, affected by the online publicity effect of "Legend", its popularity was unobstructed on the day of the public beta.
Normally, many internet cafes will also have people playing games in the evening, but it is rare that there are not enough seats. Everyone came to the Internet café to watch movies, chat, watch the news, play games, and do their own things.
And now, on the day of the Legends open beta, it seems that everyone has changed.
"Webmaster, do you have any "Legends" here? I went to find another internet café before I got off. ”
"Down, of course. However, there are no vacancies in our Internet café right now, so you need to wait and see if anyone gets off the plane. ”
……
"Webmaster, I want to play Legend, is there still a place?"
"It's a coincidence that you're here, there's one last spot, and you won't be able to sit down a little later. "Legend" is in open beta today, and the attendance rate of Internet cafes today is five times higher than usual. ”
"Damn, it's not going to be so hot. Fortunately, my brother came at the right time, my brother won't leave today, and no one can take my brother's seat. ”
……
Similar things continue to happen in Internet cafes across the country, and you have to queue up to play "Legend" in Internet cafes, and you have to queue up to log in, and it seems that as long as you have something to do with this game, you have to go through some twists and turns.
February 22 is destined to be an extraordinary day, on this day, how many people fought all night, just for the "Legend" in their hearts.
At 8 o'clock in the evening of the same day, an hour after the newly opened eight servers at 7 o'clock in the evening, the 32 servers of "Legend" were all red, and the highest online officially exceeded 300,000.
The official website will publish an announcement in a timely manner to share such good news with the majority of players.
For such a data, the employees who did not take a vacation in the micro era have been very calm, because they have experienced too many miracles that day, 300,000, has changed from the initial impossibility to a number, a number that can catch up.
Although the "Legend" team is encouraged by this number, it does have deep respect for Tang Xin, the chief planner of this game.
was able to create a micro era in his junior year, and successively made "Happy Farm", QQ and "Legend", not by virtue of his appearance that captivated the country and the city, but by virtue of his own knowledge and ability. And these are the most anticipated for employees, because all employees want a good leader to lead them to a broader future.
In fact, at 9 p.m. that night, all 32 servers of Legend were full, and they entered the queue at the same time. However, after 9 p.m., the major servers were offline one after another, and the number of people in line gradually decreased at this time, and new players began to enter the servers that had been opened. Despite this, on the first day of the "Legend" open beta, it is already a very clear thing that the maximum online exceeded 300,000.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the major servers tended to be stable, and Zhuo Ping drove Tang Xin home.
On the way, Zhuo Ping saw that Tang Xin in the co-pilot's seat was slightly tired, and couldn't help but say: "Look at you, I have learned massage, do you want to try the level." ”
Tang Xin was suddenly shocked by this sentence, glared at Zhuo Ping, and said, "Zhuo Ping, are you going to take the opportunity to eat my tofu?" ”
Zhuo Ping hurriedly said: "Xin Xin, I didn't mean that, I didn't do it for your good." Ordinary people want me to massage, and I'm not uncommon. ”
"Okay, don't be poor." Tang Xin was speechless, and then said, "Today's nerves have been tense, and tomorrow I will rest at home." You have time, help me collect tomorrow's newspaper. ”
"Why do you suddenly want to read the newspaper?" Zhuo Ping asked.
Tang Xin said angrily: "I don't want to see if there is any report on the open beta of "Legend" in the media tomorrow." ”
Zhuo Ping suddenly said, "Don't worry, such a big thing will definitely be reported." ”
The next day, Tang Xin was still asleep when he was woken up by his mother.
"Xin Xin, it's noon, and I'm still sleeping. Zhuo Ping came over just now and sent a stack of newspapers, I put it in the living room for you, remember to read it when you get up. Chen Huan said to Tang Xin dotingly.
Tang Xin looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Today was originally the second day of the Lunar New Year, and according to custom, I was going to visit relatives. However, Tang Xin's family has no relatives and friends, so she and Chen Huan have no relatives to leave. Tang Xin got up and came to the living room, sat on the sofa, and began to read the day's newspaper.
"Shangjing Youth Daily", "Shangjing Evening News", "Social Times", "Economic Daily", "Nanguo Metropolis Daily", "Nandu Evening News", "Science and Technology Daily", "Daily Express", "Computer News", ......
Looking at the stacks of newspapers in front of him, Lin Feng was even in a trance.
took out a copy of "Shangjing Evening News" casually, and when Tang Xin noticed the cover of "Shangjing Evening News", he was stunned again, good guy, this topic really shocked Lin Feng.
"Penguins are coming, and Internet companies have entered a state of disorderly competition."
I saw that on the cover, the penguins of the camp represented by QQ in the micro era were holding a knife of Guan Erye, and the fox mascot of the Yichat camp was bare-handed, with a red turban tied on his head, and he was ruthless.
In the middle of them is the letters "VS" with a lightning effect.
This is followed by the headline: Penguin Strikes, Internet Companies Enter a State of Disorderly Competition.
At the same time, on the background of the picture, a gray word appeared: legendary, above which was a bright red seal, and on the seal there were two words: shield.
The A2 page of the news text fully covers such a headline.
According to the news, QQ in the micro era entered the instant messaging market as a dark horse, which caught Yichat off guard, especially in the face of an online game launched by the micro era, Yiliao Technology actually made such a thing as blocking the "legendary" keyword in order to prevent the other party's overwhelming buckle publicity.
Finally, the news said that after years of development, the domestic Internet has entered an unprecedented period of development, and the huge profits of the online game industry have made more and more Internet companies invest in the field of online games because of the emergence of "Happy Farm". At present, there are hundreds of schools of thought in the domestic online game market, and there are no less than 20 online games to be tested and under development. In this unprecedented golden age of online game development, what we need to do is to maintain the order of the online game market, and not let disorderly competition lead the industry into a situation from which it will never recover.
……
Seeing this report, Tang Xin's favorability towards the media "Shangjing Evening News" soared, the report was very objective, there was no oil and vinegar, no position, just stated the facts, but after the news came out, he invisibly stated the passive position of Micro Times and "Legend" in this incident, who is right and who is wrong, free readers to judge.
"Shangjing Youth Daily" conducted a current review in the third edition with the title "Behind the popular public beta of "Legend".
This article wrote: "Legend", as a representative of domestic online games, uses the most advanced 2D game engine in China, both the game screen and playability represent the advanced level in China, and is the pinnacle representative of domestic national online games in the near future. The online game started public beta yesterday and easily exceeded 300,000 online on the same day......
The game software industry belongs to the cultural and creative industry, and with the continuous introduction of foreign online games "Gun God" into China, our game industry is facing severe challenges. We need to have our own online game products to go out and promote our excellent culture. This road is undoubtedly difficult, and I hope that domestic online games represented by "Legend" can go further on this road.
……
"Legend" has received five-star ratings in eight aspects, including game graphics, engine, network and server smoothness, game playability, professional balance, and public participation, becoming the highest-scoring online game among all the games on the list, and was also selected as the most promising online game of the year.
……
Other media also reported on yesterday's "Spring and Autumn Warring States" public beta and QQ and Yichat blocking incidents in various ways, some of which were headlines, some were small news, and some were current reviews.
Of course, there are also some news from the Easy Chat faction that has slammed QQ and Legend. Saying that "Legends" is full of violence and gore, encourages killing, and should be banned.
In general, the media is more friendly to the micro era and "Legend", and is more optimistic about the future trend of "Legend".
Satisfied, he put down the newspaper in his hand, and Tang Xin received a phone call.
It turned out that Dragon Fall City had hired someone from the notary office to select ten players from among the players who had reached level ten at eight o'clock last night to reward each with a laptop.
