After some discussion, the prop charging model of World of Warcraft was finally determined. In order to avoid possible risks, Yunmeng Games will set up a third-party trading platform through indirect holdings of subsidiaries to allow players to trade the virtual props they draw.
In fact, even if there is no official trading platform, private trading is still prohibited. Especially when you find equipment that is not used by your profession, and the price is too low if sold to NPCs, you will naturally want to sell it to players.
Sometimes players don’t have that many gold coins on hand, so they can only trade with soft sister coins. At this time, players will entrust a third-party trading platform or a reputable intermediary to sell on consignment, but it is still inevitable that they will be cheated.
The establishment of a semi-official trading platform can be regarded as controlling this part of the risk.
As for whether allowing players to resell the drawn virtual props can increase the monthly revenue of the game, there was still some debate at the meeting.
However, with Mr. Hao's support, the plan was quickly passed.
According to Hao Yun's memories from his previous life, this thing can not only stimulate the sales of virtual props in games, but is also about to develop into some kind of "financial management" product, almost becoming a standard feature of some popular online games.
Rather than letting outsiders build this trading platform, it would be safer for players to hold it in their hands.
After the meeting.
Hao Yun left Zhang Ding alone.
"Mr. Hao, what do you want from me?"
Hao Yun said.
"Now that World of Warcraft is online, I have a plan for a new project."
Hearing these words, Zhang Ding was slightly stunned.
"new project?"
World of Warcraft has just been launched, and new projects are being developed before it has officially started making money. Isn't this pace too fast
Seeing through what he was thinking, Hao Yun nodded and continued.
"That's right."
"It has been a few months since the last single-player game with a buyout system. During this time, we have been busy with World of Warcraft. There have been no new games on the creative workshop for a while, so I plan to develop A new game.”
Zhang Ding asked.
"...can I ask what type of game it is?"
"FPS!" Hao Yun said with a smile, "However, it is a little different from FPS games in the traditional sense."
Zhang Ding was stunned for a moment.
"Are you talking about counter-terrorism operations and siege? But... that kind of gameplay has become obsolete."
"The failure is due to the business capabilities of DaMi Entertainment, not because the game is not good," Hao Yun shook his head and continued, "But the kind of gameplay I plan to develop is still very different from the anti-terrorism operation siege you mentioned."
Zhang Ding was confused.
Different gameplay from counter-terrorism operation siege
To be honest, if even the creativity of counter-terrorism operation siege cannot satisfy Mr. Hao, he really can't think of what else FPS can do.
Really unable to understand, he couldn't help but ask.
"What on earth is that..."
"Battle Royale!" Hao Yun continued with a smile on his face, "I bet this is a game that will dazzle all players!"
…
While Hao Yun and Zhang Ding were discussing more details about "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Zhang Xiang, who was far away in Shanghai, was staring at the computer screen, picking his feet and looking surprised.
"Holy shit... That's awesome. It's an officially certified third-party trading platform. Does this count as tacit approval of equipment trading?"
Although the transactions that are allowed are paid items, the transaction of general equipment dropped by monsters is still in a gray area, but this is surprising enough.
No.
Rather, this is even more surprising.
Normally, in Xia Kingdom's MMORPG games, props purchased through coupons are immediately bound to the account after being obtained. This is mainly to prevent private transactions from affecting the interests of the operator.
After all, if you can spend money to directly buy costumes and duplicate keys that require opening boxes, who would want to spend money to open boxes
Allowing a large amount of excess fashion to be hoarded in the inventory of wealthy people and unable to flow into the market will make it easier for operators to squeeze the wallets of those light krypton players.
As for the non-bound props obtained by defeating monsters, control is not that important. Many officials only give them a symbolic blow without any substantial punishment.
After all, those who are willing to spend money to buy equipment are usually wealthy people who are not short of money.
No operator is willing to offend these players.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiang was so surprised that Yunmeng Game officials actually let go of the transaction of paid props, and even established an officially designated third-party trading platform.
This is simply like the sun coming out in the west!
"Someone has already started placing orders? Is it this fast?"
With curiosity in mind, Zhang Xiang held the mouse and took a rough look at the transaction.
There are not many props introduced on the website, only about three pages in total, and I flipped through it in a while.
However, what surprised him was the price of those props.
"A golden butterfly wing... priced at 20,000? Are you crazy?"
Will anyone really buy this kind of decoration without any attribute bonus
He wouldn't buy it anyway.
However, just when Zhang Xiang was thinking this, the golden butterfly wings hanging in the window had been labeled sold out, and next to it there was an icon with a historical transaction price of 20,000.
Feeling that today's players are really rich, Zhang Xiang continued to scroll down and quickly discovered something amazing.
"The level 10 reward copy... is located in a mine near Glitter Gold Town. The copy earns 5~7 gold coins?! Damn it, this profit is incredible... The price is 500 yuan. Uh, will you lose money?"
In a tenth-level dungeon, the monetary income can actually reach more than 5 gold coins? ! For the vast majority of new players who receive only double-digit silver coins from receiving tasks, this income is simply incredible.
But the only fly in the ointment is that the price of this copy of the key is actually marked at 500 yuan, which is equivalent to one dollar for one silver coin, which is really an exaggeration.
According to the current market situation, one silver coin is worth at most ten cents. When those gold mining studios don’t figure out how to open the script, it might be even cheaper. Even counting the materials and experience dropped in the copy, it will cost 500 Buying this ticket for 1 yuan is really a bit of a loss.
As expected, the key to the reward copy hung up for a while but no transaction was made.
It wasn't until a product of the same type was listed with a price tag of 100 yuan that the first order was transacted.
At the same time, the historical transaction price on the right side of the product also has a line of [100 yuan] labels.
Observing this, Zhang Xiang gradually understood the gameplay of this third-party trading platform, and his eyes gradually became fanatical, as if he saw a way to make money.
"A wing can be sold for 20,000 yuan, a copy key can be sold for 100 yuan, and a treasure chest that can draw wings and copy keys only costs 5 yuan!"
"If you sell 100 treasure chests and get a wing, you'll make a lot of money!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xiang immediately opened the game and started broadcasting an hour ahead of schedule.
Facing the audience in the live broadcast room, he clicked on the mall and yelled eloquently while using his drake voice.
"Family friends and audience members, today your Brother Xiang is here to show you the unique skill of picking up prizes! Let you see what it means to be the Chosen One."
"Let's do a 100-shot draw first to add to the fun. Everyone, come and help Brother Xiang, and hit the awesome and 666 on the public screen!"
