Even the 377 yuan gift package cannot retain players who have left, and even hacking methods such as hacking to blow up the server are of no use. The Sea Lion Group is completely helpless.
But when it comes to this matter, it is also thanks to the pursuit and interception of the Sea Lion Group during this period of time.
Without Mr. Liu's assistance, under normal circumstances, no matter how fun World of Warcraft is, it would still be difficult to achieve the achievement of tens of millions of players online at the same time on the first day of launch.
To put it bluntly, Warcraft has not yet sold 10 million copies. The performance of this MMORPG online game set on the continent of Azeroth is a bit exaggerated no matter how you think about it.
However, the Sea Lion Group has gone too far. It only resorts to high-end imitations. It has also blocked its entire platform, including the official account of Yunmeng Games.
Now almost all the players on the Internet have been aroused public indignation. Not only did they launch verbal and written attacks on "Endless Epic", but also MMORPG online games such as "Oracle" were affected.
In contrast, World of Warcraft ushered in a large wave of traffic.
According to Du Ziteng, the head of the operations department, at least half of the more than 10 million players came to Yunmeng Games to support them out of dissatisfaction with the Sea Lion Group.
It's just that these players probably didn't expect it. Originally, they just came in with the idea of supporting a wave, but after entering the game, they couldn't leave.
Shining Gold Town, a human novice village.
Next to the cobblestone path, a sentinel from Goldsmith Town was surrounded by a dark crowd. The surprised exclamations of the new players could be heard from a distance.
[What the hell? Is this NPC played by a living person? He actually still picks up jokes!]
[Surprised!]
[I heard that Yunmeng Games uses the latest artificial intelligence technology in World of Warcraft?]
[real or fake?]
[real! I read that report! Is it from "People's United Information Industry News"? I think all the media will reprint it!]
[Niubi! This is not much more fun than that copycat thing of "Endless Epic"!]
Compared with these new players, players who had obtained the qualification for internal testing before, or had watched in the live broadcast rooms of some anchors who were qualified for internal testing, seemed much calmer, and went to the mission point to collect them in a familiar way. mission, and then run to the outside of Goldshire to farm monsters.
According to the game settings, you can only leave the novice village after level 10 to explore more distant worlds, or go to towns of other races to join your good friends.
According to the countdown on the official website of Yunmeng Games, World of Warcraft will usher in the first round of open beta version updates in 30 days, when the main storyline will officially begin.
The Lich King's legion will pass through the Dark Portal, and the shadow of war will envelope the entire Azeroth. If you can reach level 40 before then, you will be able to become the hero who saves Azeroth and determine the final fate of the world. Where.
If the same pie were placed on other games, such as Sea Lion Group's "Endless Epic", it is estimated that most players would sneer at it.
However, for World of Warcraft, almost all players instinctively choose to believe it.
Especially after seeing the intelligence of the NPCs in Novice Village, almost no one would doubt the authenticity of the system called "Zero".
Yunmeng Games has completed more than just a game!
More like a world!
…
Goldshire.
Say, who was fighting monsters, suddenly stopped what he was doing and spoke to his teammates in the team voice.
"You said, it would be great if Yunmeng Games really developed brain-computer interface technology."
Bian Hang looked at Say Ye strangely and asked.
"Why are you saying this suddenly?"
"I was just thinking that it would be such a waste to play this game through a screen," Say sighed and continued, "This world feels like it is alive."
"I've heard this sentence many times."
"I think I did say it several times," Say smiled sheepishly and continued, "But I want to talk about it. The feeling of starting a second life in a fantasy world. Doesn't it sound interesting?"
"What about the live broadcast? Immersive games can't be projected to the screen like they are now." Bian Hang asked.
"There will always be solutions in the future, and there will definitely be new live broadcast tools by then," Say continued jokingly, "Maybe in the future, players can be directly connected through consciousness, sharing vision and so on."
"It's kind of hard to imagine."
"That's because you don't have enough imagination."
Bian Hang shook his head and said.
"Why are you talking so much? Let's quickly fight monsters and reach level ten. I don't know if the blacksmith from Stormwind City is still there. If someone beats us to it, it will be a big loss."
"makes sense."
Say smiled and continued to spawn monsters.
The monsters in World of Warcraft are different from the monsters in other MMORPGs. They have different living habits depending on the type of monster. For example, the gray wolf in the forest, although it is only a level 3 mob, has caused a lot of trouble to many new players.
They move in groups like wild beasts, crawling in the shadows of the forest and waiting for opportunities. In comparison, level 5 skeleton spearmen are much easier to deal with. Although the damage is much higher than that of gray wolves, their action mode is quite simple. They will only chase along fixed routes. Remote units can easily attack them. It kites to death.
However, in contrast, the drop income from defeating the Undead Lancer is much lower than that from killing the Gray Wolf. Gray wolf pelts are the main source of income for many new players in the early stages, and according to travelers from Goldsmith Town, if these pelts are dragged to Stormwind City, the price will be much higher.
Therefore, there are also players who have reached level 10 squatting at the entrance of the novice village, purchasing these materials from players who have not reached level 10 at a slightly higher price than NPCs.
In fact, this is also part of the dynamic economic system designed by Yunmeng Games for World of Warcraft. Equipment dealers in Stormwind City will use the materials hunted by players to make armors such as leather armor, and the prices of these armors are determined based on the amount of materials players sell to NPCs.
If an attentive player squats at the gate of Goldsmith Town in the early morning, he can see a fully loaded carriage heading to Stormwind City under the escort of level 40 guards.
And that carriage contained materials purchased from players. After players in the Horde camp reach level 40, they can even receive war missions from the main city, and one of the missions is to intercept the carriage from Goldsmith to Stormwind City and return the goods in the carriage to the Horde's main city...
In addition, players can also play as merchants, purchase goods from raw material production areas, transport them to the main city and sell them to NPCs to earn the price difference.
As Yunmeng Games promotes on its official website, both casual players and RPG players can find their own fun in the world of Azeroth.
Even if you don’t fight monsters and upgrade, you just go fishing, mining or running business in the wild, or even ride a horse to travel around the world, completely leaving the threats of the Lich King and the Burning Legion behind, and experience Azer from a traveler’s perspective. The customs and customs of the Lars world are also completely OK.
Hao Yun even asked "Zero" to develop two check-in routes for these casual players. Complete all the attractions on any check-in route to unlock special titles exclusive to casual players.
These titles not only have attribute bonuses, but also have special functions.
As for what this reward is, Yunmeng Games did not make any explanation on the official website, but left players with enough expectations.
Just as Hao Yun claimed at the beginning.
Exploration is also part of the fun of this game...
