As William expected, there were about 40,000 to 50,000 players inside and outside Dawn City. At this time, these new players were lining up to enter the city, or appeared directly in the city.
The other two human principalities are almost the same, with the number of players being 40,000 or 50,000.
There are only 15 players in the first wave of public beta of the game. In the next year, the number of Chinese players will gradually reach 300,000, and the number of global players will reach millions.
William's show-off operation during the game's internal testing really attracted a large number of players.
Since the original residents received the news from heaven, they were very curious about these chosen ones, observing every move of these players like monkeys.
After all, the players' minds are out of control.
Some started dancing in the street, swaying, swaying, straightening their waists, kicking their legs, twirling...
There was also a Yu tribe player who broke his wings because he had not taken off his wings.
As a result, this person was so cruel that he pulled off his wings, committed suicide decisively, turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky, and also dropped a bag of money, allowing a lot of players to snatch it all in seconds...
The NPC was deeply impressed by the player's awesome suicide move, saying that the player is awesome, and the player is awesome, 666.
Because the Yu Clan player who broke his wings came back to life after a while, and he danced on the street again, regardless of the money he lost.
Well, he seems to be a rich man...
"Players, wandering is the truth, standing on the streets is the last word..." William understood this very well: "But isn't it a bit early to stand on the streets now? At least become a professional and get a small orange outfit to stand on the streets. ah."
Fortunately, not all players are wandering around, and some impatient guys are already looking for tasks everywhere.
The civilians found that the guards did not stop these chosen ones from running around, so they felt relieved and continued to observe secretly.
Because they also discovered that this group of players has a very perverted mentality of helping. It seems that if you don’t let me help, I will commit suicide in a minute...
For a while, civilians could only issue many tasks.
At the entrance of the mercenary group in the City of Dawn.
Chang Li Jiuge and Angry Xiaozhu met again. As old players in the closed beta, the two wanted to make sure whether they still belonged to the Dawn Mercenary Group.
The results speak for themselves.
The two are still members of the Dawn Mercenary Group, but due to level issues, they are temporarily unable to receive any tasks. Only by becoming professionals again can they regain their former identities.
"Let's upgrade first. When the time comes, all the professional players in our Glory Club will join the Dawn Mercenaries." Chang Li Jiuge once again confirmed the benefits of the mercenary group and left here. He planned to find some tasks and upgrade himself to level 10 first. Make a career change.
The angry little pig's eyes lit up: "What a big deal. This is a desperate move. What about the guilds affiliated with your club?"
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, of course I have to join." After Chang Li Jiuge said that, he ran away.
… … …
A total of 40,000 to 50,000 players gathered in Dawn City, doing various simple tasks.
After all, the city-building tasks of City of Dawn have never stopped, so players with little ability can only choose to accept such tasks.
As for doing hard work, players said that this is the basic operation.
Everyone was very diligent in moving bricks, wood, and wine. This hard-working spirit really moved many NPCs, making many people think that these chosen ones were unlucky kids from some poor place.
"By the way, the NPCs in this City of Dawn are so powerful." An elf player sighed while making bricks.
"No, there are high-level NPCs all over the streets. By the way, have you gone to the south of the city? They are full of elves, throwing a bunch of insights, and they are all big guys who hide information.
There is an elf with silver hair and an elf with black hair. When the game was in beta last time, those elves were not there yet. "
"Hey, I know some news. The silver-haired elf is the Moonlight Elf, and there is an elf princess on the tallest tree!" Someone suddenly leaked the secret.
For a while, many players gathered around and whispered, seeming to want to connect these things with the cutscene promotional animation.
at the same time.
Players are also talking about it on the forum.
Because players from City of Dawn and players from the Principality of Humanity started a war.
The reason is that the City of Dawn seems a bit extraordinary to a certain extent.
Shuguang representative: "I bought a watch last year. There are few high-level NPCs in human cities. You will complain to us at Shuguang and ask the gods to revise the watch. Why don't you go to the toilet and push yourself to death?"
Regardless of the population of human countries, City of Dawn only has one city, and high-level NPCs are denser, isn’t it right? "
Representative of Steel: "My charm has exploded. I have already found out the news. The Principality of Steel has a grudge against Shuguang. Just wait and see."
Representative of Black Rock: "Don't say it, I also think there are many high-level NPCs in the City of Dawn, so I need to complain.
But you should have understood after watching the animation. Version 1.0, King's War, has three protagonists. It is obviously the battle for hegemony of the Three Kingdoms. We will see you on the battlefield then. Don't be scared. "
A fierce war of words immediately began.
Players currently have little sense of resonance and belonging to their birth point.
But it doesn't mean that other guys from Novice Village can complain, curse, or even babble.
To sum up, I, the players of Dawn City, can criticize my own city, but the rest of you cannot...
Just like college students can criticize their alma mater, but other students cannot criticize them. This is the same reason.
William watched the scolding war on the forum with great interest and said that this group of players is worth cultivating, but he can't be too eager yet.
then,
Wait until three days after the public beta of the game.
His Royal Highness William, Lord of Dawn City, Dragon Slayer, and Elf Prince, officially appeared in the central square and made an announcement at the city gate.
It is the regional loudspeaker that summons all players.
A group of newbies, still wearing novice uniforms, knew that a big mission was coming after seeing the loudspeaker, and came to the central square in groups, huffing and puffing.
And they also saw a handsome elf standing on the high platform waiting for them.
When some female players saw William, they couldn't help but scream: "So handsome, so handsome, this is my husband..."
"This is my husband, get out of here you prodigal!"
"Draw your sword, he is my man." A strong man sneered and looked at the Lord of the City with the same burning eyes.
When William saw this scene, his face was expressionless and his heart was twitching. When he saw that the number of players was almost there, he said loudly: "Chosen ones, after three days of observation, I can find that you are all capable, hardworking, and positive. Talent.
In particular, your courage in fearing life and death is deeply recognized by this lord. I wonder if you are willing to do me a favor? "
at the same time.
A mission that had been planned by William had been released.
[Help build the city: Dawn Lord William Blackleaf thinks that you are all poor children and unlucky ones abandoned by God. He wants to build a new home for you, but because of the shortage of manpower, you need to build a new home with NPCs yourself. urban area as his future home.]
[Task Difficulty: C-]
[First mission: Build your own nest]
[Task reward: 3000 experience]
"What the hell, a ring mission? Is the first ring mission so awesome?" Someone couldn't help but yell.
"Damn it, the tasks issued by the lord are awesome. I only gain more than 1,000 experience a day by moving bricks, delivering messages, and digging herbs. Now I am only at level 3. The experience of this task is exploding..."
"No more words, let's form a team. Is there any young lady who wants to build a new home with me? I can help you unlock various postures."
William saw that tens of thousands of players had chosen to accept it, and he finally showed a happy smile. What is this kind of mission called
It’s called bundling tactics!
If you want to retain the hearts of players, it is better to give them a nest first.
You know, players are quite aware of having their own homes in the game.
And they don’t have to spend their own money to buy it. Let them build it themselves, which will give them a greater sense of belonging.
Of course, players will definitely not be able to build houses, but with NPCs helping with the design drawings, it is enough for them to continue laying bricks...
Subsequently,
William is just like a normal NPC. The old god is standing on the high platform of the central square, waiting for batches of players to come to accept tasks.
