No. 057 round after round of hype

Some legendary players scolded the street: "This guy is too stupid, he loses a dime!" We spend a lot of time, energy, and money in Legends, and who is going to pay us back? The garbage company is greedy for profit, and in order to make money, they don't care about anything, and they remove all the last bit of the businessman's article. If it were me, I wouldn't have lost money, and letting the garbage company go bankrupt is 'a cycle of natural reason, and retribution is unpleasant'. ”

"Same as scolding garbage companies. After the opening of servers 17 and 18 in July 2002, it was almost like a frenzy to set up new servers. Looking at their public statements, in June 2002, the total monthly income was $3.7 million; By January 2003, total monthly income had doubled to $7.4 million. Obviously, the Korean developers have fallen out, but they don't tell us players and desperately set up servers to make profits. At the same time, he ignored the maintenance of the opened servers, and clearly wanted to make the last handful. The world of legends, the world's wool, the garbage company is about to go out of business. ”

Some legendary players are curious about the details: "What is the name of the private server that this guy has set up?" There is also the so-called game studio, which is a plug-in, right? Expressive plug-ins, extreme wind plug-ins, or up-and-coming overlord plug-ins, Akatsuki plug-ins, cheap plug-ins, simple plug-ins? ”

"I'll go, there are so many cheats in the legend?"

"Jokes, no cheats, no legends, no understanding of the latest cheats, how do you play legends."

More netizens are curious about where the money comes from: "Earn 1.3 million yuan and compensate 2.6 million yuan, where did this guy get the money?" ”

"I can understand that I can understand that I have made 1.3 million yuan from operating the legendary private server, after all, the legend is so popular that it has a monopoly of 70% of the market share. However, where did the 1.3 million yuan in double compensation for Shanda Network come from? ”

"yes, that's weird news. It's fake news, right? ”

Not only did netizens talk about it on the Internet, but thanks to the eye-catching key words of "first-year high school student", "March time" and "earning 1.3 million yuan", the paper media also began to quote this news on a large scale, which made more people marvel at the popularity of the online game market and the huge profits of legendary private servers.

In order to keep the topic hot, Wei Dongsheng commanded Spring and Autumn Software and Spring and Autumn Network to set off a second round of hype in a timely manner, and further revealed his identity through online media: "Hot news, the strongest high school student in history, turned out to be the developer of the torrent download artifact." ”

Wei Dongsheng positions the torrent download artifact as free software, with a clean interface and no ads, and an efficient download speed. Although torrenting artifacts sometimes occasionally crosslink in order to ensure the download speed of rare resources, which attracts protests and dissatisfaction from file publishers, it still has a good reputation overall.

Torrenting artifacts are eating away at rivals' market share every minute, and by the beginning of June, the market share has quickly climbed to 63.7%. In other words, six out of ten downloader users have installed the torrenting artifact. This unprofitable product has brought huge intangible capital to Spring Software and Seed Network. When the official websites of Spring and Autumn Software, Spring and Autumn Network, and Seed Network successively issued notices, and when the torrent download artifact pop-up box news strip, it was successively confirmed that the first-year high school student who earned 1.3 million yuan by operating the legendary private server turned out to be the maker of the torrent download artifact, and the hype went smoothly to the second stage, and countless netizens began to pay attention to who this first-year high school student was.

Someone suddenly realized: "No wonder there are no ads for torrent download artifacts, it turns out that you have made a lot of money by relying on legendary private servers." ”

Torrent download artifact users maintain the reputation of idols in a timely manner: "Don't talk nonsense, look at the timing of the announcement, the author's operation of the legendary private server is to raise R&D funds for the torrent download artifact, which is a last resort." After the torrent download artifact was successfully developed and transferred to Spring and Autumn Software Company, the author stopped the operation of the legendary private server. This time he came forward to expose the black history, purely to support the anti-plug-in campaign of self-cleaning and self-discipline in the online game industry. ”

Some people expressed doubts: "Why is he making all this fun?" ”

The water army of the Spring and Autumn Network guided the topic in a timely manner: "Everyone has not noticed the other announcements of the Spring and Autumn Network." A few days ago, the Spring and Autumn Network joined the anti-plug-in activity as a game operator, and the author of the torrent download artifact must be cooperating with the Spring and Autumn Network hype. ”

The water army of the Spring and Autumn Network immediately asked and answered their own questions to solve their doubts: "The online game that the Spring and Autumn Network is about to operate is "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", and the secret internal test will start in April. ”

Soon, players who came to the closed beta took the initiative to reveal themselves: "The closed beta of "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" has ended. Closed beta players are invited to torrent download artifact pop-up box and sign a two-month confidentiality agreement before they can secretly beta test. I received the invitation on April 3rd and played until the closed beta ended on May 31st, so I guess I have some say. ”

"Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" seems to be a national online game independently developed by Spring and Autumn Software, and the background is chosen at the dividing point between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In other words, I don't know history, and after playing the game, I know that Zhao, Han, and Wei are divided into Jin; Only then did I know that when the three families were divided into Jin, the Jin State did not perish immediately, but continued to exist for several years, and it was completely divided in the era of Jinggong of Jin: I learned that Qin Shihuang was not surnamed Ying but surnamed Zhao. ”

"Don't dwell on history. The protagonist of the game is the Jin royal family that survived after the division of the three Jin families, and when it reaches level 20, the ten kingdom camps will be opened. The protagonist chooses 'The Great Trend is Inviolable', and will freely serve other countries as a descendant of the Jin royal family; According to the analysis of beta players, this random probability screening is a faction number control mechanism, if the number of people in the Jin camp is large to a certain extent, and then choose to stick to the Jin camp, it will inevitably fail. Fortunately, the camp can be changed, if you want to join the Jin camp to revive the Great Jin, you can try every week if the Jin camp is short of people......"

"The disadvantage of "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" is that the balance mechanism is very poor, the equipment is strengthened, and a high-end player can kill a group of ordinary players in seconds. For example, I joined the Wei faction, and in the current version, the top equipment of the warrior is the Wei warrior suit, which is strengthened to ten stars, and it is simply invincible during the national war, and the real opponent is only a few high-end players from other countries' camps. ”

"The advantages of "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" are the picture, music, skill special effects, especially music, it is highly recommended that you buy a good stereo, the background music during the national war is almost uncontrollable excitement, and it is not at all comparable to other games' babbling 'babbling' monster dubbing."

"The skill effects are even more obvious, compared with "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", "Legend" and "Miracle MU" are all scum. Just exemplified the mage's fireball technique, the basic spell skills that can be seen everywhere in countless games have been made to the extreme by "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms". Guess how sophisticated is the fireball technique? Not only does it look pleasing to the eye, but it can also change its form instantly according to the external environment, in the city, in the desert, in the woods, the same fireball skill, not only the damage is different, but the form is also different. At the beginning of the beta, the mage's favorite thing was to go to the wide river in front of the main city of Quwo to release the fireball technique, standing by the river is a form, standing in the middle of the river is a form, and diving into the bottom of the river is another form. ”

“……”

"Overall, if you get a full score of five, I give two points for balance, and full marks for graphics, music, and skill effects."

In this way, under the intervention of the computer intelligence life orange algae, and under the guidance of the Spring and Autumn Internet water army, "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" has a plan to start the preliminary publicity.

Due to the early end of SARS, the Internet and online gaming industry also resumed its hustle and bustle in May and June. Legend is a game that dominates 70% of the market share in 2002 and has a reputation among online gamers, and its every move is far more eye-catching than the "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", which has not yet been officially launched. The vast majority of legendary gamers, as well as many other gamers, prefer to enjoy the up-close and personal tatters between Shanda Network and Guangtong Communications.

On March 20, Guangtong Communication signed a contract with eMade to obtain the agency rights of "Legend 3";

On March 27, Guangtong Communications launched the Chinese official website of "Legend 3".

On April 7th, Shanda Network's new legend naming campaign came to an end, and the new legend was named "Legend World", and the internal test began immediately.

On May 25, Guangtong Communication's "Legend 3" was officially open beta, attracting a large number of legendary players to explore the authentic legendary sequel.

On May 27th, Shanda Network released version 1.75 of "Unlimited", launching four major maps, including Cangyue, Bone Demon, Bull Demon, and Corpse Demon, as well as three new equipment for each class, such as Rage Slash, Dragon Tooth, and Easy Fan, to launch a fierce battle for legendary players with Guangtong Communications.

In this round of tearing, "Legend of Blood" barely kept the basic disk, and the overall number of players ushered in a significant decline for the first time; "Legend 3" ushered in the prosperous era of cooking oil with fire, and the free public beta was cheered on, and the highest number of simultaneous online users and the average number of online users both surpassed "Legend of Blood" and became the strongest online game at the turn of May and June.

Another online game that Wei Dongsheng is particularly concerned about, namely "Triumph", which is distributed by Tencent, is relatively unfavorable. Tencent originally announced that it would conduct an internal test on May 20, but the complexity of the program was beyond expectations, and the operation team was forced to announce the postponement of the internal test on May 16.

In the previous life, when Tencent was acting as an agent for "Triumph", he was depressed to find that the 3D technology used in "Triumph" had been optimized by the technical team many times, but it still could not ensure the smooth running of the game. At the moment when "Triumph" was about to become a chicken rib product, Chang Mingxia came forward on her own initiative, used a small trick strategy to optimize players, and successfully saved the game "Triumph", laying the foundation of Tencent in the online game industry.

Wei Dongsheng stared at Tencent's delayed beta notice, thoughtful, and didn't know who would jump out of this world to save Tencent.

"Triumph" has become an uncertain project, but "Legend 3" firmly dominates the top of the online game industry.

In order to keep the topic hot and promote "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", Wei Dongsheng could only use his age advantage to hype himself round after round.
