I've been playing Three Kingdoms for several years, I don't know what to do, I didn't restrain the money, when the game card came out of a website to check VIP points, I went up to take a look, only to realize that I just had 7600 yuan for pure recharge. The CDKEY bought on Taobao has not been counted (it is also about 1000 yuan).

In fact, I don't usually play games to recharge money, and many of the mobile games I play now are prostitutes, or pure monthly cards + first charge party.

Why did Three Kingdoms Kill Online let me charge so much?

I understand the reason in general, and I analyzed the psychology of me, as well as the other players of this game, from a psychological point of view.

Compared with the more popular Japanese mobile games that have less social components and pay more attention to BOX, Three Kingdoms is a very typical social game.

Its game mode means that it's hard to play alone, you have to play with someone else, mostly eight players in the same game.

As a result, this online game has a situation that is very similar to real social networking:

"Conspicuous consumption".

Conspicuous consumption is an impulse that is difficult for humans to restrain in order to enhance one's reputation and status by comparing it with those around him.

Falling into the trap of conspicuous consumption does not make you feel happier, it only makes you sink deeper and deeper into unnecessary luxuries.

In the beginning, the Three Kingdoms Kill OL was operated by Shanda.

At first, the only paid points in the game are new generals for players to buy.

The new commander is something that directly brings the gameplay experience, it can provide players with new game mechanics, and if it's powerful, it can also provide a great gaming experience.

However, it is impossible for the new military generals to come out too much and too closely.

What's more, you can't always be a strong general.

There are also strong generals among the old generals, and they can only play one at a time, and players may always insist on playing a few strong generals instead of buying new ones.

During this period, Shanda has already noticed that as a social game, its profit point should lie in conspicuous consumption.

Therefore, Shanda launched the "Three Kingdoms Show" feature, which allows players to put together several pictures and show them in front of others to represent themselves.

This feature has nothing to do with the game experience, and even after you start the game, you won't see the Three Kingdoms Show at all.

Suffice it to say, this feature is very redundant and completely cumbersome to the game.

However, it sells very well.

I didn't buy it at first, but later, with the guild, everyone in the guild bought it, and my friends bought it, and I didn't know it. The concept of consumption has also changed from white prostitution to how there is no new Three Kingdoms show, and I still want to buy it.

Then, because the old show is often limited to activities, or the store will be taken off the shelves, there is an additional concept of "out-of-print show".

At this time, the desire has been thoroughly inflated.

Whether it was me, or many other people in the guild, they began to chase frantically after no one and no one.

Owning a rare old show means that you have money and status.

Even if that old show is very ugly, it will attract people's envious eyes.

In some so-called high-end guilds, many terrible values have been generated.

looks down on those who don't have old shows and out-of-print shows, and pursues expensive offline shows (hundreds to thousands of yuan each), and the woman begs the man to buy her a very expensive show, and even uses all kinds of disgusting means......

At that time, although I was not distorted, I also did not consciously buy more and more.

Later, the game was handed over to the wingers and then to the game cards, and they took the nature of social gaming more and more too far.

In addition to the show, there are also skins.

The quality of the show is becoming more and more perfunctory, no longer to commemorate the festival, but to make money, and new ones are released every week.

There are also limited offline generals, a few hundred to fifty ten thousand.

There are also a variety of recharge or consumption activity shows and event generals, each of which requires tens of thousands of yuan.

Also, there are more and more places in the game to show that you have "spent money".

None of them have anything to do with gameplay, but they sell very well.

This game, the whole game, requires interaction with others.

There are also guilds in the game, and there are game couples, which also makes socialization to the extreme.

So, even if the quality is poor, people are willing to pay for it, and moreover, it's hard to quit.

The game itself is not so fun anymore, and what makes people can't quit is the relationship itself.

Many of my friends I know are still playing in 5678.

I haven't played in 3/4 years, and they come over every now and then and ask me if I'm playing.

However, it is precisely because it blindly strengthens social networking in order to make money that this practice is not without negative effects.

Three Kingdoms Kill Online is a game, and soon after its birth, there are a lot of melons.

It's almost all about emotional entanglements between players.

Many people don't get out of the pit because of the game itself, but because they were hurt by others and have painful feelings, they just leave here forever.

A person I know was deceived by a woman of his feelings and money (game marriage, cheated thousands of yuan in gifts, and cheated on others), he couldn't stand it and quit the pit, and before leaving, he directly gave the 3,000 yuan bought number to this woman. This woman originally had no money, so she changed her gender and relied on this half-trench to catch men in various ways...... I'm speechless. After persuading the person concerned for a long time, he was not willing to recycle.

One of the people I know who has been playing for the longest time, and who is still very active, is a sea king, sad every day, and there are always new girls.

By the way, last time I said in my space that it doesn't look good in the snow.

He gave me an analysis of almost a thousand words below, saying that he really likes the snow.

Far from it.

I've been playing for two or three years anyway, and I'm completely tired of it, and the national war is boring.

After that, many years passed, and I never got on the number again.

Later, I lent my account to the puppets.

He expressed his satisfaction (after all, it was the number that had been charged with 7600).
