Chapter 222: MMORPG

The Dark Dragon Supreme, who has been arrogant for half a year, was cut down, and the players are overjoyed!

But the death of a dark dragon supreme can't change the fact that the old game "Star Emperor" has now begun to decline.

Active players are declining year by year!

The GAL league is in full swing, and even seems to have become the world's No. 1 e-sports event, both in terms of tournament bonuses and event scale, all of which are better than League of Legends.

The only thing worse than League of Legends esports events is the attention of the event and the number of viewers of the game.

There's really no comparison......

Although the sponsors of the GAL league are bigger than one by one, although the GAL league is very arrogant, the transfer fees of popular players often start in the tens of millions, and the top players even exceed 100 million.

But to be honest, the GAL league still can't match the League of Legends event with a wider audience base and more popular with young people in terms of event attention.

No way, the player population of these two games is not of the same magnitude, and if you give it another ten years, the GAL league will not be able to catch up.

But then again......

As an old game more than ten years ago, Treading Horse League of Legends is still the world's No. 1 online game, which is really.

Chen Ba was also convinced.

He still remembers a few years ago, that is, when Tianba Studio was just starting, some people on the Internet said that League of Legends was no longer good, and LOL was going to be cold.

It's going to be cold!

How come it is that after a few years, this broken game is still the No.1 in the terminal game market, ranking at the top of the major lists?

You call this cool, right?

Seriously, the entire gaming industry knows that Riot may not be as good at making games as the top teams on the front lines, but it's really hard to say how well they run games.

Especially when it comes to events, game derivative IP creation, etc., Riot is simply a god!

Chen Ba wants to learn from the experience.

I usually scold and scold when I play games, but when I really calm down and look back at the terminal game market in the past ten years, it is not difficult to find that in the area of online games, fists are god-like existences.

"Their MMO is up and running!"

Huang Qing tore the banana peel and said while eating: "This should be the most successful new game in the MMORPG field in recent years." ”

"It's a fist after all......"

Chen Ba thinks it's normal, and it's strange that the game of the fist is not popular.

Instead of being surprised by the popularity of the game, let's think about why Riot wants to make an MMORPG game in the era of terminal games?

"MMOs still have potential."

Huang Qing didn't speak, but Yang Dong on the side explained: "Do you remember the [online game text] that was particularly popular on the Internet more than ten years ago? ”

"Of course I remember.,I liked to read it at that time.,What are the titles of the online games XXX......"

"That's right!"

Yang Dong nodded and said, "Then do you know why most of these online game texts are based on MMORPG games?" ”

"Sense of substitution?"

"There's partly a reason for that, but it's more because these authors and readers agree that even in the age of 100% virtual games, it's still MMORPG dominance."

When Yang Dong said this, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise: "In other words, in the eyes of many people at that time, the kind of virtual world game that was played while wearing a helmet or lying in the game cabin had to be an MMORPG to be authentic. ”

It's a stereotype.

To what extent is stereotype?

Even today, if a company announces that it has developed an epoch-making virtual world technology, it will launch a game for it, and the theme will probably be MMORPG.

Don't doubt it......

If there is such a technology, if such a technology is really to be applied to virtual games, then the probability of the theme is more than ninety percent MMORPG, and it will not be other themes.

League of Legends is hot, right?

Honor of Kings, Dota 2 and so on are all very popular, at first glance MOBA games occupy almost half of today's terminal and mobile game market.

But if you enter the virtual era, I believe that no one will think that a game like League of Legends can still be popular.

FPS games, with their unique gameplay mechanics, may also be able to get a piece of the pie in the virtual era. Most of the other game genres will be eliminated or replaced by MMORPGs in the virtual era.

"Makes sense......"

Chen Ba nodded, Yang Dong's words could be regarded as an answer to the doubts that had plagued him for a long time.

It's no wonder that all those online game articles back then were written about MMOs, and the reason behind it turned out to be that they thought that this kind of game could still be popular in the virtual era?

"Of course, there are also reasons for the times."

Yang Dong said with a smile: "When online games were popular, the most popular games on the market were MMORPG games, so these authors wrote like this. ”

"Look at the recent years, has anyone still written this kind of article? Isn't it all about writing LOL's I'm a cake player, League of Legends' I'm the Triple Crown e-sports article? ”

The background of the times is also partly due to this.

Living in that era of MMO heyday, both authors and readers believe that MMORPGs are the future.

This idea cannot be said to be wrong, nor can it be said to be right!

"Who can say what lies ahead? MMO is not necessarily the future, but relatively speaking, the vitality of this genre is indeed tenacious, and there is a chance to live into the virtual era. ”

Chen Ba commented: "The real virtual game is another form if it is not, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a traditional MMORPG. ”

It's impossible to say for sure.

One thing is certain, judging from Riot's move to develop a League of Legends MMO game, the theme is really interesting.

Didn't you see Riot's MMO online numbers skyrocketing, getting more popular day by day?

That's a dot card game!

Chen Ba's eyes were red with envy, and the dot card game exploded, and few people knew what it meant.

Don't take free games to the table!

Point card games are the most popular and the most profitable period, taking "Legend" as an example, it directly created the first richest man in the Internet industry in China.

At the same time, the two Ma brothers are still outside the hundreds, and they are still running errands and pulling investments for the company to survive!

Although the richest man in that period, compared with the richest man who was hundreds of billions of dollars later, the gold content seems to be much worse, and many people do not recognize it very much.

But is there a possibility......

The richest man has more money and less money, not only can he be compared with the second place, but also with the monthly salary of ordinary people?

With a game, he jumped to the top of the richest man in that era when the monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan, this is the glory of the point card game "Legend", and it is also a scene that many gamers feel shocked every time they think about it.

In addition to "Legend", another well-known point card game is "World of Warcraft".

And the brilliance of this game is undoubted, saying that it is one of the most profitable online games in the world, I believe no one will object, after all, after so many years, selling point cards have sold a lot.

Since free-to-play games have become popular and in-app purchases of krypton have become mainstream, it has not appeared on the market for a long time, and there has been a real explosion of point card online games.

Obviously, the League of Legends background MMO that Riot has made this time is unique!

Chen Ba took a look at their charging standards, not the traditional point card system, but the preference for the monthly card system, a monthly card is 60 yuan, and you can play unrestricted this month after purchase.

60 RMB/month for one player!

If the game has 100,000 active players, all of whom have purchased monthly passes, that is 6 million in a month and 72 million in a year!

What about 500,000, 1 million players?

This is not a one-shot deal, but a long-term point card game, and as long as the number of players does not fall off a cliff, the money can be collected forever.

"Unfortunately, we can't do it."

Thinking of this, Chen Ba sighed helplessly.

Domestic players are all raised by free games and in-app purchases of kryptonite, and it is thankless to charge for point cards in China, and free games are more promising.

"No way, the market is different."

Huang Qing threw the finished banana peel into the trash, and then said: "Besides, there is nothing wrong with playing free games, and making quick money is money!" ”

"Anyway, are we going to make an MMORPG game?"

"Have this idea......"

Chen Ba said thoughtfully: "Didn't you joke before, when are we going to make a Xianxia game?" I think Xianxia MMO should be quite interesting. ”

"I don't know if I'm doing it, my feelings must be full!"

Huang Qing said with a smile: "Xianxia + MMO, a trap for middle-aged and young players?" ”

No kidding.

In China, if you make an MMORPG, move closer to martial arts and Xianxia, or buy a classic copyright, it will basically become.

Don't ask why......

The question is the combination of martial arts/Xianxia + MMO, which perfectly fits the appetite of Chinese players. The market has proven countless times that they just eat this set, and nothing else is really good.

If you have to do some kind of sword and magic, it will be equivalent to actively giving up the additional buffs that come with the theme, which is not a wise choice.

Xianxia martial arts MMO, this is blessed with feelings......

No matter how badly the game is, even if it is unsightly at that level, as long as it is a Xianxia martial arts MMO, a large number of emotional players will come to cheer on it.

If you don't care about running away for a few days, you just say if anyone is coming to play, and you say whether the game is hot or not!

"If we want to make a Xianxia MMORPG game, do you believe that as soon as the news is released, the whole network will be fried directly?"

"I believe it!"

How could Chen Ba not believe it.

If it were him, he would probably pay attention to it when he received this kind of news.

Even he does, let alone the average player. They can't resist the temptation of a pure Xianxia MMO game.

Not to mention the whole network fryer, when the time comes, all marketing accounts from the media, I am afraid that it will be 24 hours a day to hype the news of Tianba Studio's new Xianxia MMO game.

A few screenshots, rummaging over and over to study and interpret, and then writing various manuscripts, the number of views on the whole network exceeded 100 million, and the number of video views exceeded 1 million, and the editor had to wake up laughing when he slept at night.

Don't doubt the authenticity.

That's true!

Proper real people and real things, as long as Chen Ba dares to release the news to the outside world, this kind of thing will inevitably happen, and it is not impossible to even be more exaggerated than this.

At that time, there is no need for Tianba Studio to take the initiative to buy any traffic hot searches, and the news will spread all over the country, and all anchors and Internet celebrities will have to run to rub off on the traffic heat.

Joke!

When "Zhu X World" was first announced, wasn't that what it was?

A broken propaganda video flipped over and over for screenshots, the pictures were all pulped and were still forwarding, and even the old driver group who sent the astringent pictures were discussing the relevant news.

It's a pity that the game pulled the pants.

But other games pull the crotch, which does not mean that Xianxia MMO is not good. From the eager eyes of players and the enthusiasm of discussing such games, it is not difficult to find that as long as this kind of game is done well, the market is really broad.

The premise is that the game has to be done well!

A good game can be combined with Xianxia MMO to exert the maximum power. The game is not good, and no matter how good the topic is, it is a bamboo basket for nothing.
