In the first week of the Magic Open Beta, four servers were opened in two regions, China Telecom Zone 1 and Netcom Zone 1. At that time, the 301 four friends settled in the first server of Telecom: the Sword of Kings.

As the number of beta users was full, four more servers were opened in the second week in the two regions.

This is quite a remarkable achievement.

In 2030 AD, although there is no fully simulated game as people imagine, and the mouse and keyboard are still the mainstream, the server of the game is already different. 20 years ago, a game server could accommodate a few thousand people. Now, 20 years later, technology is changing with each passing day, and a single game server can accommodate 500,000 players online at the same time.

In the 2 weeks of the Magic Open Beta, there were a total of 16 servers in the two regions, creating a record of more than 7 million people online at the same time. Every Saturday and Sunday, the server is full, and there is a situation where you can't log in to the game for half a day.

So, on May 16th, the game company opened two more servers.

The long-awaited Telecom Zone 2 and Netcom Zone 2 are finally here, and at 2 p.m. today, a new set of servers will be opened in both regions, and Telecom Zone 2 will also usher in the first server in the region: Nirvana Rebirth!

The reason why Zhen Lang chose to go to the new area is that he likes the name of this server.

He felt that he had been a fool for seven years without being clear, and he couldn't be a fool for another seven years without being clear.

It's also time for Nirvana to be reborn.

"Damn, Tian Ji said he wasn't coming." Dynamic went to 302 next door for a walk, and when he came back, he was very angry: "That goods always dropped the chain at critical moments, and he was reluctant to go to the new area because he was reluctant to go to the new area." ”

"He shouldn't be reluctant to equip, but he is reluctant to that green tea girl, right?" The second fat began to have a poisonous tongue again.

"Tian Ji finally found a wife in the game, and it's normal to be reluctant, we should understand long live." Zhen Lang looked like a person who had come over, and seemed to understand Tian Ji's mood very well.

"Speaking of which, the freight gas is too good, and you can make green tea on the street." The stationmaster was very jealous and longing: "I'm in Telecom 1, my face is too dark, I don't know if I will have a good personality when I go to Telecom 2, and I will hook up with a green tea or something?" ”

"There will be white clothes, and there will be green tea." Erfat also began to look forward to the future.

"Give me a white suit, and I'll be able to lift Telecom Zone 2." Movement also looks forward to life.

Why is everyone looking forward to white clothes? It has to do with the magical setting.

Fantasy has two major features of this game, the first is that it is difficult to level up.

In the past 20 years, the domestic games have one thing in common that people can't complain about, the upgrade is particularly simple, and some game settings are too perverted, and they can be dozens or hundreds of levels a day. There are also some so-called free green online games with no bottom line, no discipline in the setting, as long as you spend money to buy mall props, you can ride a rocket-like upgrade.

This situation has caused the sluggishness of the entire market, many players feel that playing these games is like playing private servers, and they are not interested in two or three days......

Magic has chosen a reverse marketing model, which is particularly difficult to level up, and it is not bad to reach level 10 in a week. This model, which was not favored by many game media in advance, actually succeeded. According to the analysis of professionals, this mode makes the majority of players feel challenged, and greatly stimulates the motivation of players to level up.

The second feature of this game is that the equipment explosion rate is very low.

In the past, mainstream domestic games all had one thing in common, players almost didn't need to fight monsters and explosive equipment, and they could open the gift package to get everything directly without brainless automatic pathfinding upgrades. What level 10 gift package gives a green suit, level 20 gift package gives a blue suit, level 30 gift package gives a level 30 purple suit, when you are feeling a little awesome, and suddenly find that you can't play at level 40 without charging money......

In this type of game, a lot of equipment can be exploded by fighting a bunch of wild monsters, but none of these equipment can make players feel excited, except for dismantling and selling stores. In this mode of the game, reasonable players are well aware that top-level equipment can only be obtained by spending money to buy various treasure chests or gift packs, and cannot be exploded by any monsters.

In such a game, most players have no sense of expectation at all, and they have an aversion to leveling up and fighting monsters. When a player has no expectations in his heart, it is naturally difficult to have a good impression of a game.

Once again, Magic did the opposite, and before the open beta, it advertised that there was a set of whiteboards, and you are a master player!

At that time, many players wondered, what does a set of tabula rasa outfit have to do with high-level play?

On the first day of the open beta, Ren Mo finally understood the meaning of this advertising slogan. There are no gift packs in Magic, and players only have a coarse cloth coat when they log in to the game, which has no attributes and is a pure fig leaf. In the beginning, all players are bare-handed and barefoot, and what happens next is a matter of individual luck.

Players were surprised to learn that this isn't the kind of game where you hit a few monsters and blast a whole bunch of gear. On the first day of the open beta, many people struggled until midnight and couldn't even break out a tabula rasa suit. There are even people who think that the server is down and go to the forum to complain. Some people thought the game setting was too weird, and uninstalled the game in a rage.

However, the next day, the complaining player quieted down, and the uninstalled player reinstalled the game. Because these people have seen some players posting their character on the forum, judging from the huge number of posts, it is clear that it is not the official childcare of the game.

In those posts, some players hit a whiteboard weapon on the first day, posed in the hunting wind, and then took a gorgeous screenshot. In other games, it's just a picture of a spray. However, in magic, such pictures are synonymous with awesomeness, and those players who have tabula rasa weapons on the first day give people the immediate visual sense of the novice village in the novel bursting with artifacts.

Some players also posted for help: "Since I have two whiteboards, I have been watched by hundreds of people standing on the street, and a few girls have accosted me...... I'm so confused, dear friends, what should I do if I'm swollen, what should I do if I'm swollen? ”

This kind of post has sparked controversy, some say it's an advertising post, some say it's a show-off post, and some people are full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Originally, the cattle of 301 and 302 didn't believe these posts, thinking that they were deliberately building momentum for magic by the forum's children, until a real event happened on the campus of Normal University, which completely changed everyone's opinion of those posts, and also changed their opinion of the game of magic.

This real thing happened to Tian Ji in the 302 bedroom next door.

Tian Ji's luck was quite against the sky, and on the first day of the open beta, he hit a whiteboard weapon and a ring.

At that time, Tian Ji didn't realize how special he was at all, and compared to the online games he had played before, it was nothing at all. On the evening of the day of the open beta, he hung up his game character in the novice village, went to the cafeteria for dinner, and suddenly saw hundreds of messages in his game mailbox, many people asked if his weapons and rings were sold, and some asked him where the equipment was exploded.

What's even more exciting is that a sister actually asked him shyly: Brother, can you make a friend......

The next day, Tian Ji and the sister had a hot fight, like glue.

This way of showing affection made the animals in the two dormitories unbearable, and they all guessed that the girl was a ladyboy, or Sister Feng's cousin, maybe she was still a foot-picking uncle...... No one expected that on the third day, the girl actually took the initiative to video with Tian Ji. Judging from the video, the girl looks pretty good, dresses sexy, has a sultry voice, and is very network anchor, so that a few onlookers are shamefully the spot.

The magic has not yet opened the marriage system, but Tian Ji and the girl have already been called by their husbands and wives, and they are deeply rainy all day long.

Although everyone said that the female player cliff was green tea, Tian Ji didn't care.

Because, when he grew so big, he was chased by his sister for the first time......

The story of Tian Ji soon spread throughout the dormitories of Building 9.

The experience of Tian Ji makes people understand that there are a few tabula rasa suits in the magic game, which is so awesome!

At the beginning, the stationmaster and the dynamic were not much interested in magic, since they saw Tian Ji show their affection every day, these two animals were stimulated, leveling and fighting monsters more desperately than anyone else, and they wanted to be accosted by the green tea in their dreams.

Someone in the forum has counted that players with normal character can get a piece of equipment in three days on average.

This statistic is quite reliable, dynamic and cannon played for half a month, and there are 5 pieces of equipment on each body, which is exactly an average of 3 days. The second fat character is better, with 6 pieces of equipment. The most rebellious character is still the field chicken, with 1 weapon, 5 pieces of armor, 3 pieces of jewelry, a total of 9 pieces.

Originally, the cattle were predicting that the green tea girl would be in a relationship with the field chicken for a week at most, and then she would turn to the arms of the local tyrant. It turns out that Brother Tian Ji, who has equipment bonuses, has gained love, and after two weeks of dating, that girl hasn't broken up with him yet.

It is precisely for this reason that Tian Ji is reluctant to go to the new area.

Zhen Lang was unlucky, and he struggled with his brothers for half a month, with only 4 pieces of equipment.

Fortunately, compared with the stationmaster, Zhen Lang found a sense of comfort. The stationmaster's face was so black that he didn't have a score, and after half a month, there were actually 3 pieces of equipment, and it took an average of 5 days to produce one. And his equipment is 2 armor and 1 jewelry, becoming the only one in the two dormitories who still has no weapons and can only rely on empty-handed monsters to fight monsters.

It's such a game with a very low explosion rate, but it has made countless players crazy.

Since the advent of the first single-player game on Earth, the game itself has been a process of enjoying challenging levels. And a large number of free domestic games have stifled this challenge in order to make money. In Magic, players find a long-lost challenge.

What's even more rare is that players have a sense of anticipation for this game.

If you have expectations in your heart, you will keep playing.

Zhen Lang and his friends are looking forward to what kind of wonderful journey they will have on the new server.
