"Woo, terrible, terrible, what did I say? I knew that Pokeni was brewing a storm, but I didn't expect it to come so violently. ”

After seeing such amazing results in Shenmue and Warcraft 3 released by P Company, countless game developers couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Fortunately, I kept a hand and didn't choose to push the game in this time period, otherwise I would have become cannon fodder at this time, and what our company does is an action RPG.

Compared with Shenmuyi, he was simply beaten to the ground. ”

"Haha, Pokeni's actions are expected, mainly because it was too abnormal before, and everyone knew that there would definitely be a big wave.

Shenmu, as this year's head bubble, is actually very suitable, and it has a topicality and high quality.

The players are already hungry and waiting to be fed, and Shenmue will be robbed crazy as soon as he comes out. ”

"Pokeni is really good at marketing, what is this called in marketing? Oh, hunger marketing, right? ”

"Hmm. It can only be said that pokeni is too dirty. ”

"Insidious, insidious, Qing Zhiyuan is too insidious, you never know what kind of tricks he will make.

"Ah...... It seems to be the same thing. At least for now, if you're lucky, you can pick up some, and it's actually good for us for big companies to compete with each other. ”

This time, the release will not only cover the Omi region, but also the neon and China regions.

Think about it, in a country with a population of 1.2 billion, such a large base, even if only a small number of pioneers buy and use computers, and take the lead in entering the Internet information age, this number is enough to be scary.

And now in that timeline, that number has doubled to more than 51 million.

If you did it on "Frontier Online" at the beginning, it would definitely be impossible, but halfway through, I made a dandelion game platform, developed a point card, and did a border LAN battle......

But this comet has its own rhythm and will change lanes in the middle, which makes people a little numb.

It played an accelerating role.

In short, as soon as Pokeni played two cards, a group of friends couldn't stand it.

And once the engine is turned on, with the update and iteration speed of a big country, the time to catch up will be even earlier than Qingzhiyuan imagined.

Maybe another comet with the ability to destroy the Earth is rushing towards the Earth, and if it can be observed, it will be okay that humanity can still find a way to deal with it.

Internet cafes have also become the most fashionable consumption places at present, and even many Internet café owners have made a fortune by relying on this and achieved a wave of dividends.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the Internet industry is the trend of the future, which has been verified in developed countries such as Omi and Neon.

In the previous life, in 2000, the total number of Internet users in China was about 22.5 million.

"Ah......h It seems to be the case.,You say can you find Sony and Ren Heaven.,Pull other major game manufacturers together.,Let's make a rule.,That is, the game release list in the next six months needs to be announced.,So that everyone can avoid each other.,So as not to crash or something.。 ”

"No, no, isn't that the way to die?

This game is not only the first massively multiplayer online online RPG developed by Pokeni, but also the first game of its kind in the world.

Frontier Online

It seems that everything is falling into place.

This person is simply a real-life Naruto, proficient in all kinds of game sales ninjutsu. ”

If China wants to develop, it naturally needs to build the Internet, and it is from the national level, so the support is very strong.

After such a long period of development, after Pokeni acquired Penguin, the speed of network construction and the number of computers owned by users in China have increased exponentially.

Large companies are fine, but small companies like ours must only be eaten and wiped clean.

In particular, there is a small motor Pokeni that is silently pushing behind and injecting vitality into the entire market through the little glove of penguins.

Because he already felt as if there was a big invisible hand in the shadows controlling everything, and he himself was only one part of it, as a marionette, filled in like a tool man.

Until then, all the obstacles on the road have been swept away, the network construction in the Omi region, the popularization of computers and Sega DC game consoles, the scale of users of the dandelion game platform, the technical level of pokeni, the server architecture and network transmission......

When you look back, it may seem like there are countless obstacles and difficulties, but when you actually get through it, you will realize that it seems to be just that.

……

But that's just the beginning of Pokeni's revenge sales.

Mainly thanks to Qing Zhiyuan's vision and the continuous accumulation in the middle, the accumulation of Pokeni's technology has transitioned extremely smooth, and even Akanishi Jian can't help but sigh-

It's as if the invisible hand is silently pushing, but Akanishi Ken's own brain thinks and makes the corresponding choice.

On May 11th, pokeni launched its first shooting MMORPG -

After so many years of accumulation and construction, these have finally successfully built a channel to the future of large-scale online games.

Once a tacit understanding is formed to arrange the game, the big companies avoid each other, and it will only be us who will die in the end. ”

It can only be said that Pokeni is a catalyst, which not only promotes the development of Neon's own semiconductor and Internet industries, but also promotes the rise of related industries in neighboring countries.

Could it be that this world is really the Matrix?

Everything is virtualized by the matrix?!

……

"But it's very troublesome in this way, the announcement time of pokeni is not fixed, which is actually not a good thing, just like an extraterrestrial meteorite.

In particular, Internet cafes in major cities across the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

……

However, I don't know why, when I think about it carefully, Ken Akanishi's heart is filled with great fear.

As soon as he thought of this, Akanishi Ken only felt goosebumps all over his body.

It's simply impossible to prevent. ”

In this MMORPG battle with no competitors, Qing Zhiyuan did not dare to despise and slack off at all, but paid more attention than ever.

So you can see, whether it's in China or in the Omega region:

The promotion of "Border Online" is simply overwhelming, this time in addition to using QQ and dandelion game platforms for promotion, Qingzhiyuan has enabled the most effective promotion method in this era-

Strong push team.

The so-called local promotion team refers to the promotion through offline staff, and every big city will have a Pokeni promotion team.

The large Internet cafes in the first-tier cities are fully covered, and at least one or two Pokeni staff members teach by hand.

Second, third, fourth and fifth-tier cities mainly cover the largest Internet cafes, and Internet café personnel are used for promotion and teaching.

And give each Internet café certain benefits, such as point card wholesale can be cheaper.

The price of a point card for 15 yuan is 13 yuan for an Internet café, and it can even be as low as 11 yuan.

As a result, before the official launch of "Frontier Online", basically most Internet cafes in China and Omi had already installed the game.

And the pre-release time of "Frontier Online" is also a week in advance.

In order to reserve enough time for Pokeni teams in different countries to adjust and solve unexpected problems, there is a time lag in the launch date of Frontier Online.

The first to go on sale is the United States region, where the network conditions are the best, and the computer coverage rate is the highest.

Fortunately, the former president of the United States fulfilled his promise during his tenure:

It is necessary to let all people over the age of 16 use computers, so that the network coverage rate reaches 50%.

There are now 164.1 million computer users in the country, one in every two people.

With excellent network construction, a sufficient number of target users, and advanced technology, it is understandable that Pokeni chose it as its first launch.

After the launch of the server in the United States, the neon side will be about two weeks late, that is, it will not be launched until May 26th.

The China region will be moved back a bit, and the server will be launched on June 10th.

The time period set aside in the middle is for Pokeni to be fault-tolerant.

If a serious bug is found in the United States area, then it can be fixed in advance, and the risk can naturally be reduced when the server is launched in China.

Otherwise, the risk is too high for global synchronization.

Even a traverser like Qing Zhiyuan is not completely sure.

Not even half sure.

As a veteran programmer, Qing Zhiyuan believes in one thing: problems are the norm.

It's a miracle that nothing goes wrong.

At this time, it is necessary to let out and run through and let the players become detectors.

With a one-month time difference and a large enough user base, the discovery is almost discoverable.

……

Pokeni's Frontier Online fully delivers on the promise made at E3 last year:

The game is free to download and does not charge a penny.

So on the day of the pre-release, the download speed of the dandelion game platform was paralyzed for a while due to the large number of players pouring in.

Later, the official released a statement, saying that players can change the time period if they encounter lag and slow downloads.

In short, it's unusually hot.

In just one day, Frontier Online has been downloaded a staggering 1 million copies in the United States region alone.

It's actually quite easy to understand.

Because the game is free.

Think about it, when you played "Border", the game cost $69, and although there were some discounts on the Dandelion game platform from time to time, it only dropped to $49 at the lowest time.

The thought of so many former downloads for nothing is personally very exciting.

And this is the United States, a country with a natural love for shooting games, so the daily downloads of "Frontier Online" instantly broke through a new high.

If it weren't for the excessive pressure on the server and the restrictions made by Pokeni, I'm afraid the number of people would be even higher.

However, the downloader of the Dandelion game platform is actually a P2P architecture downloader, which means that if there is no official anti-theft limit, players can obtain resources through nearby players who have already downloaded it.

So in fact, the lag and server pressure are limited to the very first day.

As more and more players complete the download, the pressure is less intense.

In order to facilitate the counting of the number of players, pokeni has made a tag in the dandelion game platform, and after completing the download task in the downloader, the counter will be +1, and the statistics will be counted to the official server.

The purpose of this is to facilitate the management and control of data by P Company.

On the other hand, it is also to prepare for the launch of the server.

You have to know what the maximum number of players will be when the server opens on the 11th, and whether you want to temporarily add multiple servers.

This is very different from the previous games made by P Society, stand-alone games can ignore the data problem, but large MMOs must store data on the server.

Especially in the future, I will rely on this to sell skins and built-in props or something.

It's even more sloppy.

……

In short, "Frontier Online" has not yet been launched, and it has already been cheered by countless players.

"Damn, I didn't expect pokeni to really be true to his word, and if he said it was free, it was really free, and I still dreamed like a dream.

This is Frontier Online. ”

"Yes, I also downloaded one, and I'm going to play with my classmates after the server is opened.

Frontier is a game that sold for $69, and who would have thought that it would become a large-scale online game and become free.

Pokeni is too conscientious, isn't it? ”

"Hahaha, really, all I can say is that Pokeni is an eternal god, and Qing Zhiyuan is the most powerful game developer in my mind.

It's really worth it to be able to play the game of pokeni in this life. ”

"This is the kind of game developer that really thinks about players!"

"I'm so touched that I can play a free shooting game."

"Ahh

In fact, until now, many people's mindset has not changed from single-player games.

In their minds, online games are just stand-alone games that can be connected to the Internet.

……

This morning.

As a die-hard fan of pokeni, especially shooters, Mike Ogers, a college student, passed by a nearby internet café after finishing his morning class.

When he saw the poster at the door, he was slightly stunned.

Because the poster of Frontier Online is just too big.

In particular, the group of soldiers with submachine guns on the top rushed out of the trenches and stormed the opposing position, both men and women, all with beautiful faces and models.

With a bright red background, the battlefield is filled with gunsmoke in the distance.

Countless enemies serve as a backdrop to the fierceness of the war.

The composition of the entire poster is very clear and three-dimensional, revealing the selling point and attraction of the game.

At the bottom is a large line:

["Frontier Online", the public beta will start on May 11th! ]

Simulated war, 10,000 people charge!

Waiting for you to fight. 】

Groove ......

Although Mike Ogers was quite shocked in his heart, his young face turned red with excitement.

He's been playing Frontier for two years now, and he's known for being a sharpshooter in the game, killing countless people.

It's just a 10,000-strong charge like Pokeni's propaganda......

He really hadn't seen it yet.

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

Western players, especially countries like the United States, which has only a short history of more than 200 years, have been exposed to modern industrial civilization from the beginning, so guns and wars occupy a large part of their history.

There will be a natural love of nature.

In particular, the United States is also a country where firearms can be used legally.

Mike's fingers trembled slightly.

The thought of having a war-like experience in this game makes him uncontrollably excited.

……

Hurrying back to the dormitory, Mike couldn't wait to turn on the computer and launch the dandelion game platform.

Find Frontier Online and click to download.

Once the download is complete, install it and enter the game.

A line of large text pops up in the screen:

【Dear players, please be patient】

[There is 4:21:59 until the start time]

Waterfack?!

Mike's eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the prompts on the monitor.

This broken game still has to wait?!
