It’s not just Hunter Network that has lost all its money.
Almost all the scalper companies that were eyeing the World of Warcraft activation code and hoping to make a fortune from the Yunmeng game were stunned by this sap.
Li Jinbo never imagined what happened to these 170,000 accounts.
Each account was registered manually and used a different IP address. He even prepared a separate machine code for each account and applied for it at different times. How come he didn't win even one? ?
In fact, what happened to him was no coincidence.
As early as when it was selling game peripherals, Yunmeng Games had already noticed these rampant scalpers. For this matter, Li Zongzheng also specifically found Yunmeng Technology Research Institute and asked Wu Fan to help develop a game that can identify Detection system for robot accounts.
Of course, Wu Fan will not refuse requests from partners.
Moreover, this matter is also related to the experiments of Yunmeng Technology.
If there are accounts controlled by scripts among the players, it will undoubtedly affect the collection of experimental data. Those activation codes that are sold to studios or anchors at high prices will also cause hardcore players to account for a high proportion of internal beta players, affecting the game system's AI's judgment of the players' true level.
The issuance of the activation code for the alpha version of World of Warcraft is a test of the identification system.
By building a model with weighted data such as social index and game frequency, Yunmeng Games can now not only accurately identify which accounts are controlled by robots and which accounts are manually controlled, but also distinguish player portraits of the users behind the accounts.
Accounts registered specifically for the purpose of reserving activation codes are naturally unable to have any social interaction with other accounts, let alone have valid game time on other games.
According to the explanation of Wu Fan, director of the institute, the recognition accuracy of this system can even reach 99.971%. Even if one or two users are accidentally injured occasionally, they can be verified and resolved through the face recognition system.
As for those accounts controlled by scripts...
Even if one or two fish slip through the net occasionally, the "winning rate" of less than 1% will teach you how to be a good person, and you will lose all your money in the end.
"All 10,000 activation codes have been issued... 1,102 players have activated their accounts." Li Zongzheng leaned on his office chair and looked at the data in the computer with a smile on his face, "I'm afraid those scalpers will have to I'll pay you to death."
"More than just risking your life, I see that several online stores on the second-hand platform have closed down!" Du Ziteng looked at his phone with a smirk, an overjoyed expression on his face.
As early as a few days ago, he had been paying attention to the quotations of World of Warcraft activation codes on the second-hand market, and watched helplessly as these scalpers raised the price from 2,000 to a maximum of 60,000.
I have to say that these scalpers are getting more and more outrageous. The official activation code has not been released yet, and pre-sales have already begun.
I'm afraid they never dreamed that Yunmeng Games would directly use artificial intelligence as a big killer, and directly kill all the zombie accounts that are operated by scripts behind them.
At this time, an employee with a Yunmeng Technology badge walked in from outside the office and reported to everyone in the office.
"The statistical data we have here is out. A total of 1.3 million zombie accounts have been identified, and there are still 200,000 suspected ones, which await further observation."
Hearing this, Du Ziteng's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Why are there so many?"
There are 1.3 million zombie accounts, which accounts for almost one-fifth of the total number of reservations!
"It's normal. With the current popularity of World of Warcraft, I think this number is a bit low." Li Zongzheng smiled and continued calmly, "But there is one thing to say, these scalpers are hardworking enough to do this. Is it okay to have multiple accounts just to grab our activation code?"
"I think they may not just be planning to steal our activation codes," Liu Ye, who had been silent for a while, said after thinking for a moment, "These black accounts can use them again after grabbing the activation codes, such as selling them to studios for black gold. , or write your own script to mine... I heard an industry insider say that this has formed a black industry chain."
Du Ziteng and Li Zongzheng exchanged glances.
"Mr. Li, what do you think is a better way to deal with these accounts?"
"Just mark it and don't need to deal with it for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy," Li Zongzheng thought for a while and said, "When our non-deleted internal test begins, if these accounts have new actions, they can provide us with clues."
Even if all these accounts are blocked now, these scalpers and studios can still register a batch more, and they may even be bitten by scalpers pretending to be players. It's hard to say whether they are justified or not.
After all, the traffic of World of Warcraft is there. In the eyes of those who are engaged in Internet gray products, it is like a cake covered with butter. It is impossible for these flies to fly away on their own.
It would be better to wait until their studio officially starts operations, and then strike hard to catch them all. This will not only hurt these people, but also give them a longer memory.
The wool of Yunmeng Group is not so easy to harvest!
Meeting Li Zongzheng's eyes, Du Ziteng immediately understood what he meant and chuckled evilly.
"Okay Mr. Li, I understand what you mean!"
Li Zongzheng nodded with satisfaction.
"As long as you understand, then I won't talk nonsense to you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the clock on the wall, patted it and continued.
"Okay, it's getting late. Except for the staff on duty, everyone should go back and rest. We still have our busy work tomorrow, so remember not to be late!"
Looking at the dispersed employees, Li Zongzheng also got up and returned to his office.
Before leaving get off work, he had to send an email to Mr. Hao to report on today's work...
…
at the same time.
Jiangcheng University Men’s Dormitory 401.
The four people were already asleep, but the strange scream coming from next door made the four people lying awake again.
"... Damn, what are you shouting in the next dormitory?" Squinting, he picked up his phone and checked the time. Zheng Xueqian rubbed his brows with a headache and put the phone back.
Liang Ziyuan opened his eyes and shook his head and said.
"I don't know, maybe I won the lottery."
Zhu Kening was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.
"I really want to vaguely hear it... Is it Mr. Hao who is calling?"
"Mr. Hao? Why are you calling us Mr. Hao this late at night?" Zheng Xueqian suddenly stopped feeling sleepy. He turned over and looked at Hao Yun in the next bed, and said with a smile, "Brother Yun, tell me honestly, what big thing are you doing? Son."
"What great things can I do lying in bed," Hao Yun said in a dumbfounded voice, "Lao Zhu must have heard wrong."
Last night, he moved here from Swan Pond Mansion.
It's not that I'm uncomfortable living in my own home, but it's a long way from the school and it's not very convenient to attend classes. In addition, a certain little guy was about to start school. He had been teasing and teasing him all day long about playing games and had no idea how to restrain himself. For the sake of her study in the next semester, Hao Yun had no choice but to move back in advance.
Besides, living in a dormitory is quite interesting.
All the roommates are talented, they speak well, and occasionally they can get attribute points that can be used to realize their potential. Good things like this can't be found anywhere else.
The noise coming from the next door dormitory seemed to be just an accident, and soon the dormitory became quiet again.
Even breathing gradually turned into snoring. Hao Yun picked up his phone and took a look and found two unread messages hanging on the screen.
One message was an email from Li Zongzheng, which reported in detail the issuance of activation codes for the alpha version of World of Warcraft and the effectiveness of the new account detection system in combating scalpers.
It is said that two-thirds of the dozens of online stores that resold activation codes on second-hand platforms collapsed instantly, and the remaining one-third also faced closure due to user complaints because they could not ship the goods after receiving advance payments. situation.
After reading the email, Hao Yun smiled knowingly.
The gifts he prepared for the players cannot be turned into money-making tools by scalpers. No one knows how much harm those gray industries can do to a game than someone who has been through it.
As for the other message, it was from my senior sister.
[You went back to the dormitory and couldn't find any teammates who were playing black. Jiaojiao finally agreed to go home.]
Hao Yun didn't know how to reply, so he responded with a sweating expression.
Lin Mengmeng: [I’ll go back to the dormitory in a few days. It’s scary to live alone in such a big house, especially at night. (°ー°〃)]
It’s okay to be scared if the house is too big.
Are you still a child
Besides, no matter how big it is, it can't be as big as your house...
Hao Yun thought for a while and tried to come up with an idea.
[How about you turn on the light?]
No reply from the other side.
I guess he fell asleep...
