Weekend evenings.

This is the time of the week when players are most active.

It's also the time when the news spreads most quickly.

Many people have just come home from school and, as usual, turn on their computers after dinner and get ready to play a game.

However.

That's when it happened.

A blockbuster news suddenly swept the entire game circle with an extremely rapid attitude.

"Brothers, quick! Come to "World of Warcraft", the PK of this game is really cool! ”

"Damn, thousands of people are fighting on the same screen, and the server hasn't crashed, so my blood is boiling."

"It has been fighting from noon to night, and several big guilds have rushed over to support, and the voice channel is full of thieves."

"A lot of anchors also went, and the scene was simple."

After playing MMOs for so many years, where have they ever seen a PK battle of this scale, they suddenly saw that they were happy and downloaded World of Warcraft.

Other players who had just received the news were shocked.

Thousands of people PK on the same screen.

The anchor guild is all in battle?

Curious, they all went to the major live broadcast rooms to check.

As a result, as soon as I clicked into the "World of Warcraft" section, all the PK scenes came into view.

casually clicked into a live broadcast room, all the anchors and sailors shouted, commanding the battle, and they looked so excited.

When they saw the game screen, their eyes were even more round in disbelief.

Person.

Countless people.

Just in the area where the anchor is located, there are at least hundreds of people bombarding each other frantically, seesawing left and right.

Behind the battle line, there is a steady stream of players rushing to join the battle.

Many thieves roam the fringes and engage in fierce ambushes with lone enemies.

The healing team in the rear shines brightly, providing support to frontline players.

Under their treatment, the warrior class charged en masse, crashing into the crowd on the opposite side and slaughtering them on a massive scale.

Each profession has its own performance.

The whole scene was wonderful.

"! This game looks so cool. ”

"Thousands of team battles, this is also spectacular."

"And there are so many professions, each profession has its own characteristics, and it can be matched with each other."

"It's so strong, this scene is absolutely amazing!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such an awesome MMO."

"World of Warcraft, is it? Download it now! ”

The spectacular battle scenes in the live broadcast room instantly captured the hearts of countless players, who directly threw down the other games they were playing and ran to download World of Warcraft.

Because it's really too big!

You're still slowly doing tasks and leveling up, and you're doing things like a robot.

The team battle has already begun.

And it's also a large-scale team battle with thousands of people.

How can this keep them unmoved?

Even if you don't go to team battles, you are deeply attracted by the social environment between game guilds and players.

Yes!

It's social!

For an MMO game, the social aspect is extremely important.

In this game, they saw strong social attributes that other competitors did not have.

Players spontaneously organize themselves to resist the enemy together.

Even people who don't know each other can help in times of crisis.

There are also the souls of players squatting in the cemetery to chat and blow water because of the excessive number of deaths, and the lively and harmonious scene undoubtedly has a fatal attraction to them.

As a result, many people who are still playing other games have switched to "World of Warcraft" and started their own magical adventures.

……

Sichuan City.

Shengqu headquarters.

An employee with a report in his hand hurriedly ran between the passages to find his boss who was making rounds.

"Director, something is wrong! The number of online users of "Oracle" suddenly plummeted by more than 500,000! And it's getting worse! ”

His voice was full of anxiety, and even his steps were much faster than usual.

You know, it's the weekend with the most player traffic, and even if the number of people online doesn't increase, it shouldn't fall so much.

Sure enough.

Hearing his report, the director's face suddenly sank: "What's the matter?" Why are they dropping so much? ”

"It is said that ...... It is said that because of the flood, many players have run to play their World of Warcraft. ”

"Flood?"

"Yes...... Yes. ”

When he first heard the news, he couldn't believe it.

But I checked it on the Internet, but I was taken aback.

Almost the entire Internet is full of discussions about World of Warcraft, and an entry from this game has directly rushed to the hot search.

#万人团战, who dares to fight! #

Click on the hot search to see, it is all the team battle pictures in the game.

Even if he was a gamer, he was shocked by that scene, and even more shocked by the courage of the wilderness.

I was really willing to invest so many resources to fill up the server.

Are they so confident that their game can be popular?

"What are the number of people online between us and Honghuang now?" The director asked in a deep voice.

"Our peak before noon was 4.5 million, and now it has fallen below 4 million, and there is no news from the flood for the time being, it is estimated that ...... Around 4 million. ”

"Caught up so quickly?" The man's pupils shrank.

If he remembers correctly, before today, the online rate of Honghuang's game had been fluctuating around 1.5 million, which was not even comparable to several other competing products.

But now that only a day has passed, they have rushed to the same point as them, equaling their advantage of going online three months early!

How terrifying does this have to be to be done?

"Go, let them prepare right away, announce the news of the next expansion, the situation must be stabilized!"

"This ...... Could it be a little too early? ”

"Three months, plus two months of publicity, is enough, what we have to do now is to retain players, let's do it quickly."

"Okay, I'll go and inform them."

With that, the employee left in a hurry.

Originally, they were going to release this expansion pack at the end of the year, so a big update a year was just right.

But in this case, the time can only be shortened to about half a year to attract players as much as possible.

Anyway, "Oracle" still has 4 million online bases, so there is no need to worry too much about it in a short period of time.

Compared with.

It's a lot more confusing on the other side of the manufacturers.

As MMO games, their online rates have been affected to varying degrees.

There is a massive loss of players.

Shocked a group of high-level officials to hold an emergency meeting.

The popularity of the schadenfreude flood game was not up to before, and at this time, their faces were ugly, and they watched the players being snatched away by the flood.

Under the trade-off.

World of Warcraft's online rates have skyrocketed, and instead of going up, their games have plummeted.

Especially Penguin's "Sword and Sword".

From the very beginning, this game was advertised with large-scale gang battles and siege battles as selling points, and it was claimed that the team battle of 100 people was not stuck.

As a result, as soon as the video of the 10,000-person team battle came out, it instantly became a clown, and the players plummeted by nearly 800,000!

Angry, the high-level slammed the table angrily.

As a last resort, major manufacturers had to advance the planned update content and increase publicity efforts, which barely stabilized the online.

And the situation in the MMO market.

It has also changed dramatically because of the sudden rise of the flood famine.

Merely.

But no one knew.

At this time, another big move is brewing.

……

"Mr. Chen, will the special effect of this "Thunder Fury, Sword of Blessing of the Wind Chaser" be too exaggerated? ”

In the Daybreak team, Lao Li and Chen Lin stood in front of the computer, looking at the pictures of weapons that the employees were rendering.

It was a longsword with two blades in the middle, and the grip had cold, domineering spikes on the handle.

The blade was sharp, emitting a faint blue light, enveloping the entire sword body.

The most conspicuous thing is a dazzling ball of light in the center of the rift, constantly shining with the power of thunder and lightning, looking domineering.

【Thunder's Fury, Sword of the Wind Chaser's Blessing】

Bind after picking

One-handed sword (speed 1.9)

44-115 damage (53.9 damage per second)

+16-30 Nature Damage

+5 Agility

+8 stamina

+8 Fire Resistance

+9 Nature Resistance

Durability 125/125

Level 60 is required

Chance on Hit: Attack an enemy with the power of lightning, dealing 300 Nature damage to them, then attacking the next nearby enemy.

Lightning reduces the target's Nature Resistance by 25 with each jump, attacks 5 targets, and slows the target's attack speed by 20% for 12 seconds.

……

The quality of this weapon is orange.

Even the special effects are different from other equipment, and they are many grades higher, so it's no wonder that Lao Li asks so.

Chen Lin smiled and said, "No, that's it, the more exaggerated the special effects, the better, just to distinguish them from other equipment." "After all, this is one of the few pieces of orange gear."

"What about this final boss? Is there anything that needs to be changed? ”

Lao Li continued to ask, looking at the monster design on the other computer.

I saw that in the picture, it was a flame giant with raging flames, and a lava hammer in his hand was another orange equipment.

"Hmm......" Chen Lin looked at the modeling on the computer and fell into deep thought.

Then, he reached out and pointed to his shoulders and head.

"Here, here, turn up the brightness, add some lava spikes, and increase the flames on my body, I want that kind of oppressive feeling of flames."

As the first final boss of the team, the cards must be full.

For this.

Chen Lin even asked people to raise the rendering of the entire battle arena by several levels, just to show the scorching feeling of fighting in the sea of lava and fire.

After all, it's about his plans for the future.

A grand esports event.

He wants all the players to be blown away by this image when they first see the Flame Lord Ragnaros!

So this time he was extra attentive.

After solving the production problems.

He went to the dubbing room again to check the dubbing of each character.

"Let the flames purify everything!"

The roar mixed with the mixed sound echoed throughout the dubbing room, shaking the eardrums of everyone outside.

The person responsible for dubbing the Flame Lord was specially invited by Chen Lin for a lot of money, a well-known veteran voice actor in China.

Just this roar showed his dubbing skills to the fullest, and he couldn't help but sigh that the money was really not spent in vain.

After standing outside for a while and listening to other dubbings, there was no problem, he didn't stay any longer, and went outside to find Lao Song.

"How? Has the online rate stabilized? ”

"It's still rising, and now it's over 4.5 million."

Old Song took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement and shock.

In two days over the weekend, the number of online users of their World of Warcraft soared from 1.5 million to 4.5 million, a full 3 million!

You must know that even if Shengqu's "Oracle" has a foreign reputation and is launched so long in advance, the highest result is just this result.

Now it took them two days to catch up.

To say that it is not agitated is false.

Not to mention the online game team under him, one by one, they have long been excited.

Because they can feel it.

This game is likely to become a big IP under their Honghuang banner, and it is entirely possible to continue to grow bigger!

"4.5 million?"

Chen Lin's eyes lit up, this was much faster than he expected.

It's even close to catching up with DNF, a free-to-play game.

"Since this is the case, let's prepare, wait for Lao Li's side to finish the production, and release an update announcement, by the way, contact the previous venue, and pre-rent it for half a month."

"What about the scale? Do you want it to be the same as last time? Old Song asked.

"No, let's make it bigger this time, since the players are so enthusiastic, then let's also play a big one, the prize money will be doubled directly, and the PVP and PVE events will be held at the same time!"
