When Sherlock was thinking about opening a movie theater and making money from the players' movies, in the player's world, on the planet called Earth, almost half of the planet was excited and cheering that a game was about to be released to public beta.
It's not just the players from a big Eastern country who are happy, there are also some foreigners from the West who are also happy and looking forward to the open beta. They didn't have the chance to join the test during the first beta, and this time it is finally open to the public. Of course, they will not miss this opportunity. In order to be able to communicate with the players without any difference, many people even deliberately learned the language of the great eastern country.
But when they wanted to buy a gaming device called a game pod, many people were dumbfounded because they couldn't pay, let alone have the game shipped to their homes.
But there are still people who have worked hard to get a game warehouse from players in the big eastern country. However, this game warehouse is bound to an individual and cannot be used by them. Even if they do research, they will not be able to figure out the reason for a long time.
When it came to the open beta, these foreign friends finally accepted their fate. The official refused to let them play. It seemed that they really couldn't play.
Although they can't play it, players from the big Eastern countries can play it, and they can play it casually.
After nearly a year of internal testing, the debate over whether the game "Dungeon" is a collective scam or a truly new game that crosses the century has long since ended. Although some people thought it was a scam at first, and those who so-called participated in the public beta were all swindlers. With such a real experience and such real pictures, if this kind of game existed, it would really be more black technology than black technology. I’m afraid not. In a different world, people from Earth are summoned to work there for free, right
If the first 100 people were all trustees, then would the next two thousand or five thousand people be all trustees? In addition, so many videos were released later. Even if they were special effects, the special effects were too real. I spent so much money to weave a lie. Is it impossible no matter how much I thought
In addition, many professionals have studied the game warehouse and have concluded that it is definitely something beyond the times. It can even be said that this is simply not science, but what can it be if it is not science
How many people are actually waiting to enter the game? No one knows.
Even on the official website, there are no specific statistics, and the game warehouse is sold directly on the official website and there is no statistical data.
Some people speculate that the number has exceeded 100,000, or millions of people. As for the real number of people, I am afraid only Sherlock and Blue know.
"50 million people?"
Sherlock was stunned for a moment after hearing the numbers given by Blue. Although there were many residents in the underground world, they were not easily counted in tens of millions.
Especially if the number of a single dungeon can reach millions, it is already very large. Most dungeons may only have a dozen or twenty people at the beginning, and larger ones may have thousands or tens of thousands. . Only in formal areas can we develop on a scale like a town.
However, like Winterfell, which belongs to the merchant alliance, the underground city of the neutral city is an exception, because the residents of the underground world in Winterfell are not employed by the merchant alliance, but go there spontaneously and live like residents of the city. In Winterfell, the size of the dungeon belonging to the Merchant Alliance is much larger than most dungeons.
Although Sherlock had estimated that not many players would participate in the open beta, the scale of 50 million was a bit beyond his expectation.
"The most important thing is that we can't afford so much food in the dungeon. Don't worry, Sir Sherlock, I'm already prepared to limit the number of players. Of course, we can't restrict them from registering game accounts."
Blue said quickly, and Sherlock also understood what Blue meant. He looked at the time and then said:
"It's almost time, get ready to welcome those public beta players."
—————
The public beta of the game "Dungeon" is not like other games where the service is stopped and the public beta is launched after the update. In fact, most of the updated content of this game is updated directly online instead of disconnecting from the network. If he also has an internet connection.
Chuhe is looking forward to players from the public beta entering the game. The addition of new players not only represents an increase in the strength of their guild, but also represents numerous business opportunities.
There are many gaps between the equipment or skills of new players and those of experienced players. If you want to quickly improve your equipment and weapon proficiency levels, you must find a teacher and replace a large amount of equipment, which only veteran players have.
Right now, there are already many old players who are planning to pay to take apprentices and get rid of their old equipment that has been eliminated.
These are all money. Not only that, there are also many materials that can be sold for money.
But there must be a lot of people when working. Unless I planned not to go offline, I had been waiting for the public beta in the game. At first, the journalists entered, but due to some things in reality, I had to leave for a while.
By the time he hurriedly returned home from outside, the time had passed the public beta period.
A teenager threw his backpack on the bed, and then hurriedly rushed towards the game cabin. He heard a middle-aged woman calling him outside:
"Why are you playing games as soon as you come back?"
"Mom! The open beta is about to start. If I go there late, a lot of equipment and materials won't be sold at high prices."
The young man was so sorry that the middle-aged woman said nothing.
As Chuhe said, since playing dungeons, Chuhe has been able to earn a lot of money every month, and most of this money has been used by him to support his family and given to his parents.
Don’t misunderstand, of course, this money was not given by Arthur and the others. In the game Dungeon, it is very easy to make money. Even if you just fight underground spiders and sell materials, you can make thousands every month. Not to mention being able to sell gold coins for daily tasks. The price of gold coins in the game Dungeon has always been very high. In addition, these gold coins are all hand-made. There are no cheats and the official has never interfered with players. Even if there are scammers who deceive people, the officials don't care about offline transactions between each other. How could they care about others selling gold coins
Choe He can't wait to enter the game and experience the new updated content, including the view system announced on the official website, as well as the new combat assistance system, trading team formation, channel chat, etc. These traditional online games are all Yes, but the dungeon game has never had a system added to it. You must know that the public beta is a very big update.
He lay down in the game cabin and quickly took off his clothes, wearing only his underwear. Then he closed the game cabin. The special liquid flowed down, covering his whole body until it reached the top of his head, accompanied by With the official launch of the game cabin, Chuhe entered a state of self-consciousness and wonder.
In front of his eyes, it went dark at first, and then lit up. A loading interface that couldn't be simpler appeared in his field of vision. The words "Dungeon" flashed with light, and Lord Sherlock's name was added to the back. The avatar looks handsome and elegant.
Have the loading screens been updated? Chuhe thought in surprise.
But now is no longer the time to observe the loading interface. Choe He quickly verified his identity and then logged in to the game.
There is only one choice of game character. Each player can only create one game character. If you want to experience other races, you can complete the corresponding tasks in the game and switch races. There is no fixed profession. You can wear You can wear plate armor as a magician, or you can wear a robe and be a frontline warrior.
As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you hit the boss with your butt naked.
There are no restrictions on the choice of profession in the game. It is very free. Freedom is not just about professions. In fact, this game does not impose any restrictions on all aspects. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't touch Lord Sherlock. Private property, as well as facilities for destroying dungeons will suffice.
This is also a very attractive place for players.
After waiting for a while, Hoe He did not officially enter the game. Is the loading a bit slow today? Chuhe thought strangely.
A line of font suddenly appeared in front of him, which read:
[The current server is full and queued—562353]
God fucking lined up more than 500,000 people? I didn't expect that there would be such a long queue.
How long will it take for this to be included in the game? Hoe He even felt a little desperate.
However, Chuhe soon discovered that although there were many people in line, the numbers jumped very quickly. The number of 500,000 people was like a counter that was constantly rotating, beating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, the first 5 turned into 4. He estimated the time and found that he would be able to enter the game in about 20 minutes. This was much faster than expected. Did players quit the game so quickly after the open beta?
Hoe He was stunned for a moment. He was thinking whether he should wait here to enter the game or check the official forum first. Anyway, you can queue up to see the forum, but the communicator of the game cabin suddenly flashed. Hoe He clicked on the contact interface and a dialog box popped up.
[Dangwu: Mr. Hoe, have you seen the latest update announcement? Oh my gosh, this game doesn't follow the rules at all. I'm just adding update instructions after it's already in open beta. Now the character will be re-queued after death!]
Choe He was startled, and he quickly replied:
[What will queue up again after death?]
The other person answered quickly.
[Dangwu: It means literally. If you die, you will be requeued. To be more specific, you should check out the game announcement. It’s crazy. There are so many updates. Oh my god.]
After reading what Dang Wu said, Chuhe didn't answer any more. Instead, he directly clicked on the game's update content as Dang Wu said.
Sure enough, a new update announcement has appeared on the official website. Although the version is also 1.0, the content in the announcement is much richer than the last announcement. According to the official website, this is a supplementary update description.
[Supplementary explanation of version 1.0 update content]
"Dear players, first of all, thank you for your love and support for our game. Thanks to your enthusiasm, in less than 5 minutes after launching the server, our server has reached saturation and the number of online users has exceeded 50 million. Not only that, There are millions more people waiting in line.
Because after many players entered the game, they found that a large part of the game content had been updated and changed, and it seemed that everyone was a little uncomfortable with it. In order to allow everyone to adapt as soon as possible, we have deliberately announced a supplementary explanation of the update content this time.
First: Updated new UI interface, including chat, team formation, auction, map, guild, home, reputation in each region and NPC favorability, etc.
Chat: Now players no longer communicate in the game, but rely entirely on shouting. Players can now also have some private chats, which is similar to the old radio communication method. Not only that, we have also joined team formation. Guild and friend channels, etc., joining these systems wastes a lot of our magic power, but in order to improve the game experience of players, this waste of magic power is nothing. (laugh)
Team formation: Due to the large number of people, players may not be able to find their teammates smoothly when forming a team. In order to avoid such a situation, we have specially added a team formation channel. In the team formation channel, whether they know each other or Players who don’t know each other can search for teammates or teams. Not only that, but the system can even be equipped to form a team. Players no longer need to go to a specific location to shout to find teammates, and we do not encourage players to use shouting. Ways to find teammates to carry out game activities, especially in places with many NPCs, such as Winterfell.
Auction: Auction items will now have prompts, and players can directly follow the prompts to conduct the auction.
Map: Players no longer need to rely on some simple road signs or frequently exit the game to view maps on the forum. Since the public beta update system can locate each player's location and draw detailed map information, players can directly Click on the map in the game interface to view your location and nearby areas for exploration. Unexplored areas are still in the fog of war.
Guild: We have updated a lot of guild UI content. Players will be able to chat with members of the same guild in the guild channel. Now players can also view their guild territory in the interface. The president and managers of the union can also The interface builds guild-related buildings, including but not limited to furnaces, carpenters' houses, dry pots or tables and other things. Of course, these buildings need to submit magic stones to Lord Sherlock or Queen Lilo to apply for construction. When the application is successful, special NPCs will go to the guild territory to build these buildings. Players are asked not to disturb the work process of these NPCs.
Home: In addition to the guild territory, each player can also have his own exclusive home. Players including the Eternal Kingdom dungeon will no longer be limited to an area of only 10 square meters, but will be expanded to an area of 500 square meters for each player. Of course, expanding the territory and home area requires a one-time payment of magic stones, and a certain monthly maintenance fee and reputation. The specific fees can be checked in person in the game.
You can view other related UI content directly in the game, so I won’t elaborate too much here.
Second: We have optimized the combat assistance system.
According to the problems submitted by players that the attributes of some equipment sets cannot be displayed and the physical buffs cannot be reflected, we have made detailed modifications and adjustments. Now the food eaten by players can be reflected very intuitively, such as adding With 10% of the power of food, players' power will be truly enhanced.
In addition, we have once again enhanced the experience of long-range weapons. After continuous practice and paying a certain fee to upgrade your long-range weapon level, your long-range attacks will be more accurate, both for teammates and for those you want to shoot. This is true for wild monsters.
Third: We have updated the new login system.
Because there are so many players logging in, they may need to queue up in advance every time they log in. In order to allow players who queue up to enter the game as early as possible to experience the game content, we decided to give players a greater penalty for death.
When a player dies 10 times in a row within an hour and logs in to the game again, the player must queue up to enter the game, while players who previously queued up can enter the game in sequence.
Fourth: We have updated the work content of most NPCs.
Now players will no longer be able to obtain specific exclusive services from NPCs such as Simba, Mufasa, etc., such as finding Mufasa to buy the desserts he made or finding Simba to repair weapons. All such services will be replaced by Players have to do it themselves. Of course, you can still strengthen your equipment in the new version, buy the goods you want, etc., and these are not restricted.
Fifth: We have updated the guild territory system in detail.
The size of the guild can be expanded. As long as you are strong enough, you can even build a kingdom.
First, you need to obtain a territory outside the scope of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon or the Free City of Victoria, and build buildings belonging to your guild on the territory. This territory will not be protected by the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon or the Free City of Victoria. Everything depends on yourselves.
The development of the territory is also yours to decide. Whether it is recruiting players or recruiting NPCs, everything is decided by you. Of course, please don't forget to pay taxes. We will explain the territory system in detail in the next update.
Sixth: We have updated a large number of lists.
include:
[World Strongest Ranking (Weapon Proficiency Level Ranking)]
[Top tycoon list (two lists of magic stones and gold coins owned)]
[The most generous list (donating magic stones to Lord Sherlock)]
[Mentor List (Master-Apprentice Value Level Ranking)]
There are many other lists that players can experience and understand in detail in the game.
There are also a lot of other updated contents, which we have divided into multiple modules, so players can learn about them by themselves.
I hope you all have a great time and have fun, and hope to see you soon! "
