Chapter 237: The Pinball Dynasty
"Xiuzhen Fantasy" is in open beta for a week.
As an MMORPG game that has not been seen in the terminal game market for a long time, it is still a Xianxia theme full of feelings, with advertising covering the whole network, and there is naturally no shortage of players.
The first five districts were opened, and they were almost full during the week.
Even at three or four o'clock in the morning, these five popular regional servers are full, and from time to time they will jump out of the queue waiting page.
Please note that it is three or four o'clock in the morning!
At this time, it is an exaggeration that the server is full, and if you can still jump out of the queue waiting page, it can only prove one thing: you need to open a new server!
Yes......
Considering the full state of these five districts and the influx of a large number of new players, Chen Ba had to open three new districts on the fifth day of the open beta.
"Eight districts should be enough!"
Chen Ba muttered: "The terminal game market is sluggish, people now play more mobile phones, the computer boot rate is ridiculously low, and it is useless to open too many new areas." ”
"That's the ......"
"It's not the same now! In the past, MMO games could open several new districts in a month, and in a year, more than a dozen new districts were guaranteed, and as many as dozens. ”
Luo Ji commented: "But the current game, if it can maintain the normal operation of seven or eight districts, it is already very powerful." ”
Don't you see the super popular phenomenal game of League of Legends, and the national server has also been forced to merge regions?
The popularity of League of Legends, said to be the No.1 in the terminal game, is estimated that no one will question it, but even the big brother in the terminal game market can't hold up so many regional servers, so he can only keep six or seven regional servers in the region.
This fully shows that there is really no future and no need to open up a new area now.
An online game, no matter how popular it is, should not exceed ten regional servers. It's better to keep four or five districts, which is a more reasonable state.
Why do you open so many districts?
You don't think it's fun, do you? Not to mention the waste of resources and energy, the key is that there are too many ghost costumes and they have to be combined, which adds a lot of workload.
"My lord, times have changed!"
Xiao Lu quipped: "I guess it will be difficult to see it again in the future, the kind of scene where the server list is long, and you have to swipe the mouse for half a day just to find your own regional server." ”
"I see what you mean!"
"You make me think that in the past, when playing games, I first chose Netcom Telecom, and then I chose my own provinces and regions, and after selecting the provinces and regions, there were still one, two, and three districts......"
Chen Ba also laughed.
In the past, playing such a large online game, the selection was indeed a headache. What take the famous CF as an example, a province can be divided into one, two and three districts.
This is indeed no longer the case.
The main reason is that the terminal game market is sluggish, and the number of players is not comparable to before, and it can't support so many server divisions.
In addition, there is a secondary reason that the current servers are generally more outrageous, and the number of players that can be accommodated in one zone is equivalent to four or five districts or even more.
Take "Xiuzhen Fantasy" as an example.
Xiuzhen Fantasy currently has eight districts, and the player capacity limit of these eight districts is based on the structure of 100,000 people, that is, eight districts can get 800,000 players online at the same time.
It's just online at the same time!
In fact, the number of registered and active players in a district is definitely more than 500,000. It's just that the time when everyone logs in to the game is staggered, so there are only more than 100,000 people online at the same time.
Speaking of which, Chen Ba admires the first telecom area of the League of Legends national server, that is, Ionia!
This area accommodates a large number of players from the national server, and after the launch of the Genting Game version, it has attracted many Genting chess players.
Who knows what the upper limit of this area is?
A million people in a district online at the same time?
Maybe it's not so outrageous, but during some on-time online skin-giving events, hundreds of thousands of people are online at the same time......
"Xiuzhen Fantasy" can't reach this height for the time being, and it can't even reach half of the level. After all, the audience of these two games is different, and they don't like to crowd into one area.
However, in the game "Don't Go After School: Pinballs", there are already some regional servers, which seem to have become the new "Ionia".
"What did you say?"
"The server can't hold on, so it's either expanding or stopping the registration or transfer of new players!"
Yang Dong was worried that Chen Ba would not understand, and deliberately explained: "In the two districts of District 3 and District 5, the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 500,000 at the peak, do you know what this concept is?" ”
Two districts can support millions of people online at the same time, which is terrible when you think about it, and it is not surprising that the server will not be able to hold up the strike.
can only say that it is worthy of "Don't Go After School"!
If it were another game, it would definitely be jaw-dropping, but if it was Don't Leave School, it wouldn't be surprising.
"Why are there so many people?"
Chen Ba was also puzzled, he knew that "Don't Go After School" was very popular, especially among those office workers, and was listed as the preferred game for "fishing at work".
No matter how popular it is, the growth rate of players is always regular and traceable.
What do you mean?
It means that no matter how popular "Don't Go After School" is, the players are also growing little by little, and it is impossible to pop up hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of new players overnight.
Because of this, Chen Ba is very confident in the upper limit of the servers in the third and fifth regions, and feels that these two areas will not have to worry about being "full" in a few years.
But now, it's full?
Where are so many players? Did it all come out of the rocks?
"Of course not!"
Yang Dong explained: "Players can't come out of thin air, and after investigation, most of the players who poured in from District 3 and District 5 were transferred from District 1 and District 2. ”
Transfer Zone!
The existence of this mechanism is the main reason why the servers in Zone 3 and Zone 5 are full and reach the design carrying limit.
"I see."
When Yang Dong said that the transfer area was the third and fifth districts, Chen Ba instantly figured it out.
Most of the players who transferred to the district couldn't stand the "feudal rule" of their own district, so they resolutely defected with their relatives and friends, threw themselves into the arms of the third and fifth districts, and supported the resolutions and bills of the "play committee".
Made!
The same is to play "Don't Go After School", the third and fifth districts of the people have made "play committees" and "pearl holders", formulated and promulgated bills, and initially established a modern civilization system.
Is this really the same game?
I can't stand the birds!
Players are not stupid, there is no place to stay here, you love to play at home, and engage in feudal dynasties, so put aside this competition for the throne to be your soil emperor, forgive you for it!
As a result, a large number of players began to lose in the first and second districts, and these lost players were transferred to the third and fifth districts, so that the third and fifth districts were crowded.
The fourth district has also turned a lot.
It's just that the four districts are more special, because the four districts are actually "international servers", and the players are mainly from overseas, and everyone doesn't understand the language and culture, so there are not many people who transfer to the region.
But this is not much, that is compared to District 1 and District 2.
If you really want to talk about it, there are also 10,000 or 20,000 foreigner players in the fourth district, and they can't stand the stupid rich second generation of the "rich with more money" in the fourth district, so they choose to transfer to the district to embrace the "play committee".
"Ah......h
After understanding the reason why the third and fifth districts were crowded, Chen Ba also had a headache.
There are two ways to solve this problem!
The first option is to expand the capacity of Zones 3 and 5 to meet the basic needs of players and allow more people to move into these two Zones.
But this is a palliative, not a cure!
After the server is expanded, absorbing talents from other districts, the third and fifth districts will naturally develop very well, and are expected to become the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
But other districts will send it!
With the outflow of talent and the net outflow of population, the third and fifth districts will become Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, so won't the other districts become fourth- and fifth-tier small cities?
"This has to be stopped!"
Chen Ba believes that the players of "Don't Leave After School" should be dispersed and should not be concentrated in one or two districts, which will lead to uneven development.
In order to stop the outflow of talent, the best way is to set up play committees in the first, second, and fourth districts, and humbly learn from and copy the successful experiences of the third and fifth districts.
But there will be an obstacle to this.
Will the people with vested interests, that is, the emperors of the first, second, and fourth districts, agree to this plan? Will they be willing to give up their power?
"If it doesn't work, launch the Heavenly Punishment!"
Yang Dong said badly: "After being the emperor of the soil for so long, I won't forget where their rights come from, right?" ”
In ancient times, there was a saying that the monarch was bestowed.
In the game "Don't Leave After School", the rights of the Earth Emperors are all granted by Tianba Studio. As long as it is necessary, Brother Ba can launch a heavenly punishment against them and set up a new king.
"Don't be so extreme, people haven't made any mistakes of principle......"
Chen Ba pondered: "It's better to salute first and then soldier, let's focus on communication!" They can see the situation clearly and feel that it is best to be a little bit. ”
Diehards who can't see the situation clearly?
For this kind of stubborn ruler who is blinded by fame and fortune, and loses the support of the people, Chen Ba and Yang Dong will never show mercy to their subordinates.
The game committee is the player's choice.
Ignoring the collective will of the players, the mantis arm blocking the car will not end well, and will only be ruthlessly run over by the wheels of the development of the times in the end.
Of course!
Chen Ba will give them a decent look.
Players of "Don't Leave After School" love to write history books that record the history of each district server. And in the history books, these district servers and the last emperor will be fairly evaluated.
But then again, respect is mutual. If they don't accept Chen Ba's kindness and choose a less dignified way to die, then don't blame Chen Ba for smearing them in the history books of "Don't Go After School".
What is the marble king, the marble king, the marble king, the pearl emperor, the pearl emperor, the pearl emperor...... When they are called, Brother Ba will never let them go.
By the way.
The historians in charge of writing the record "Don't Leave After School: The Chronicle of the Pinball Dynasty" in the Tianba community really have two brushes.
The "Pinball Dynasty Honki", which they compiled and compiled, was recently successfully recognized by a publishing house and decided to refine and publish it.
Boy!
As soon as this news came out, not only the players couldn't cry or laugh, but Chen Ba also had some Bengbu.
Can this thing be published too?
It seems that the book publishing industry is indeed sluggish, and in order to make money for gimmicks, it no longer cares whether the content is serious or not.
It's not a big problem, though!
Although this idea is very speechless, the printing and publishing of the book "The Book of Pinballs" is definitely the best decision the publisher has ever made.
With a first printing of 200,000 copies, I thought it would sell for a while, but I didn't know that these 200,000 books were sold out through online channels in just two hours.
Even Chen Ba didn't buy it.
This made him angry, he was also one of the authors of this book, but he didn't even buy it, which shows how hot it is.
So he hurriedly called the publishing house and asked them to print it as soon as possible, this time don't deduct 200,000 copies from the search and search, and directly print 500,000 copies!
"Huh? Printing so much? ”
The publishing house was taken aback, and shouted that this is not good, so many copies are printed, so it will have to be sold out in the Year of the Monkey?
"It's only 500,000 copies!"
"Who do you look down on? Do you know how popular the game "Don't Leave After School" is, and how many players there are? ”
Chen Ba said that there was no need to panic, just print and finish, and the unsold books would be pulled directly to the headquarters of Jiangning Tianba, and Tianba Studio would give them a back.
Ok, good, good!
Brother Ba promised to pay for the books that could not be sold, and the publishing house had no worries, so he immediately gambled on his family and printed 700,000 copies in one go.
It turns out that Brother Ba didn't lie.
The book "Pinball Dynasty Honki" is definitely one of the must-buy books for every "Don't Go After School" player.
The 700,000 copies were printed, and although they did not sell out immediately, they were sold out in just one week.
200,000 + 700,000 = 900,000!
In today's sluggish book publishing industry, "The Book of Pinballs", which sold 900,000 copies in just half a month, undoubtedly topped the bestseller list.
"Don't Leave After School" players almost have a copy in their hands, don't ask why, ask is that this book is too qualified to be used as a "joke book".
Players who haven't played the game "Don't Leave After School" may not understand what the book is about.
Those who have played the game have already lived in Bengbu the moment they saw the title of the book.
Buy, buy, buy!
You have to buy a copy!
Such an abstract book, only 35 yuan, whether you buy it as a storybook for your son or use it as a corner of the table.
Chen Ba also bought it, and it was a thousand copies as soon as he bought it.
Don't ask him why he buys so much, he just asks for "preaching." The studio must have a copy of each person, and check everyone's "historical" skills from time to time.
When the studio comes to the guests, or attends some game exhibition, send the book directly!
What?
The studio toilet is out of paper?
It's okay! Don't worry, Brother Ba bought a lot of "Pinball Dynasty Benji", although the toilet paper is used, if it is not enough, go to the warehouse to get it.
This book is so versatile, and it is full of hilarious abstract elements, what Zhu Xian Emperor, Zhu Female Emperor, Ghost Emperor and Scalper Emperor, I can't help but want to laugh when I look at their accounts.
Because of this, "Pinball Dynasty Benji" also attracts many pure passerby readers who have never played the game.
They don't understand it very well, but if they don't understand it, they can go to the Tianba community to look for posts!
Combined with the posts of the Tianba community and some game videos, this book is not difficult to understand. As long as you can understand it, you will feel that these 35 yuan are really worth it, and you will have a doubt.
When will there be a sequel to such a great book?
