"Mr. Ding, how are you? How many people are online?" Feng Yu crossed his legs and looked at Ding Lei with a smile.
According to Feng Yu’s plan at the time, Wangyi would develop into games. In fact, Ding Lei thought more. He wanted to get a NetEase account so that he could use all NetEli products, which was the so-called NetEli Pass. For the time being, it included forums, mailboxes, games, etc.
"Mr. Feng, in three days, it has exceeded 300,000!" Ding Lei said excitedly.
There are 300,000 people online at the same time. As for the number of registered users, it has exceeded 500,000 and is still growing rapidly every day.
Mr. Feng told him that the number of people online at the same time in this game could easily exceed one million. At that time, he thought Mr. Feng was wrong. The number of registered users should have exceeded one million. He did not expect that this game was really so popular. .
"Well, the public beta period is one month. We will hand over the collected user feedback to Fengyu Games at any time and let them make some fine-tuning. One month later, the legend will be officially launched. Have you found the production company of Dianka?"
"I've found it. According to what you said, the sixteen-digit password is divided into four types: 100-hour point card, 200-hour point card, 300-hour point card and monthly unlimited time card. But Mr. Feng, the monthly unlimited time card Will the cards really be easy to sell? Isn’t three hundred hours of playing cards enough for them to play? Who can play for more than ten hours a day." Ding Lei was a little confused.
All point cards are valid for thirty days. In Ding Lei's view, even 300-hour point cards may not be sold, and 100-hour point cards should be the best sellers. Is it just right to play for a while after school or get off work every day? No matter how much time you have, where will you have time
Even if you like playing games very much, a 200-hour credit card is enough. The monthly unlimited time card is obviously redundant.
But he didn’t know at all that people who played Legend had a method called substitution without changing accounts, that is, two or three people played with one account, and the account stayed on the phone 24 hours a day, relying on equipment, gold coins, and skills. Make money by reading books, leading people to upgrade, completing tasks, etc., and earn RMB.
As long as this game becomes popular, professional players will inevitably appear. It’s not just about selling equipment, but also about game boosting, helping people upgrade and complete tasks.
Anyway, after level 7, you have to start charging. No matter who you ask for help to upgrade, you need to click the card before you can actually enter the game.
The current open beta is also a means of attracting people to know how fun this game is, how to upgrade after level 7, how to complete tasks, how to obtain gold coins, equipment, skill books, etc.
"Mr. Ding, you don't have to worry about this. We don't have much money to make point cards anyway, right? I believe it won't take three months. This monthly unlimited time point card will be better than the 300-hour point card." Sell it, maybe it will sell better than two hundred hours of point cards."
Feng Yu didn't explain much, and Ding Lei couldn't understand, but he was just an agent. Even the promotion fees were paid by Fengyu Games, so Fengyu Games took the majority of the share. If these cards cannot be sold, Fengyu Games will suffer even greater losses.
"Mr. Feng, do we really need to make the servers so big and have so many servers?" Ding Lei asked again.
Feng Yu required that the server be able to accommodate millions of people online at the same time without lag, and four very large servers were prepared during the public beta period. This server is not rented, but purchased. A server this big is quite expensive.
"How popular the game is now, haven't you seen it? It's only been a few days. How many players do you think we will have in a month? During the public beta period, four servers may not be enough. Even if you want to subscribe, Server, urge them to hurry up. After the game is officially launched, there will definitely be more people playing it. At least ten servers of this size will be prepared by then. Word of mouth, or watching others play, will attract many new players. At that time, players must be diverted.”
"Is this the partition you were talking about?"
"Yes, two areas will be opened at the same time each time. When the number of players in each area exceeds 500,000, a new area will be opened."
"We have one million people online at the same time, and we can even overload it. Is it too early to open a new district with only 500,000? After the new district is opened, there must be people from the old district to the new district to create new accounts, and the number of people in the old district should be reduced. That’s right.”
"First of all, there are not that many monsters, and there are too many people, and the safe zone is not enough. Also, let me ask you, when you are looking for a job, the same job content, on one side, you work on your own, and on the other side, there is your cousin How would you choose to be a leader?" Feng Yu looked at Ding Lei with a smile.
"I choose to fight on my own!" Ding Lei said without hesitation.
Feng Yu "..." Rub, the example failed!
"You choose to fight on your own, but what about ordinary people?"
Ding Lei hesitated: "Maybe I will choose a place where my cousin is the leader."
"Isn't that the end? Who doesn't want to receive some care? The same goes for games. Those who go to the new area have the same idea as you. But similarly, there will be people who think of the old area. There are large players with high levels who can upgrade quickly. No The low-level equipment that has been eliminated due to lack of gold coins and large models may be more enjoyable to play, right?”
"Isn't it too fast to open a new area with 500,000 people? Once the new area is opened, I still think the number of people registered in the new area will increase, and the popularity of the old area will continue to decrease. Isn't this game fun only if there are many people? If there are no people If it’s gone, won’t the old district be abandoned?”
"The situation you mentioned will happen, but it will definitely not happen too soon. It will not happen until at least two or three years later. By then, we can merge the districts."
"Combined area?"
"It means merging two or more district servers into one district server. This will increase the number of people in the new district server. In addition, new wars will occur in order to snatch Sabak and others, stimulating the return of those old people and stimulating their upgrades. Enthusiasm. Well, Shabak is a city for players, and it will be updated in later versions.”
"But if the districts are merged, the players in the later districts will obviously avoid many detours and may develop better than those in the new districts."
"But people in the new area have been playing longer and have higher levels. It can be said that both sides have their own advantages, and it is impossible to say who has the advantage. Each area has top players, the so-called server bosses. After the merger, In order to seize the position of the boss and stimulate them to upgrade, buy equipment, etc., no matter what it is, they must at least get more cards."
Feng Yu smiled very proudly. This method was used by many private server operators in the previous life. They merged districts, opened new districts, and then merged districts again, so that the leaders in each district would fight with each other, thus stimulating those people to deposit more money.
Although the current legend does not charge money to buy equipment or anything like that, looking at the development in the future, it may not be impossible to do so. However, Feng Yu does not intend to turn Legend into a game for rich people for the time being. Only by being fair can it attract more people to play, and he does not want to destroy the classic Legend in memory.
Games are fun only when there are many people.
"Mr. Ding, believe me, we will lead the development direction of China's online games, drive more people to pay attention to this industry, and we will become the industry leader!"
