Wang Xiaobin was taken aback: "Open a new server?"
It's not troublesome to open this, the only problem is whether there are players to play.
"Blood War Song" has gone from bad to worse. There is no money for publicity and promotion, and it is not on any charts. There are no new players flowing in.
Those who are still playing now are all old players who have persevered a long time ago.
These people have accounts in the old server, and they have spent a lot of money and time on the old server. Even if they open a new server, who will play
However, Wang Xiaobin still raised his hand and made an OK gesture: "No problem, it will be fine soon."
Anyway, the game is getting cold, and it doesn't make any difference whether you can open a new server or not.
Ye Zhizhou went to the new server to create a trumpet for the first time, and then waited silently.
After a few minutes, the world channel of the new server suddenly became lively!
"It turned out to be a new uniform!"
"Ah, it's so hard not to grab the sofa!"
"Is there a guild? ++++"
"Look here, comrades! Our guild is developing harmoniously, united and passionate, with local tyrants leading the team, and invincible! We specialize in helping grandpas and grandmas who fell. You are welcome to join us and help grandma cross the road with us!"
"Upstairs, did you copy and paste the advertisement? Now there are no local tyrants, how can you lead the team?"
"Why aren't there any local tyrants? The local tyrants in our guild said that if you add the guild, all the stamina potions for each person and every day are all included!"
"Fuck! Add me!"
The world channels are one after another, and Ye Zhizhou can't even watch them.
"Our game... There are still so many people playing?"
Ye Zhizhou was stunned. He just saw that there were more players on the World Channel calling for a new server, so he just opened a new server to test the water.
Unexpectedly, there are so many people running into the new server to play!
What are they drawing? Don't you want the old one
Ye Zhizhou felt that this was a bit strange. I haven't seen this kind of enthusiasm for a long time!
In the past, "Blood War Song" also often opened new servers. After all, rolling server is one of the common marketing methods for games similar to krypton gold.
But none of the popularity can be compared with today's new clothes!
While leveling, Ye Zhizhou considered finding a big guild to go undercover and collect players' opinions on the new version as soon as possible.
As a result, it suddenly got stuck while playing, and the screen kept showing "Loading resources", and the picture became a mosaic.
However, this lag soon resolved, and the game resumed smoothly again.
Just as Ye Zhizhou was about to ask what was going on, he heard Wang Xiaobin shouting over there: "Damn, there are too many players in a moment, causing the server load to be too high? The new server is actually full?"
Ye Zhizhou hurriedly opened the background to check.
The popularity of the old servers that were originally operating has plummeted, and there are basically no people, but the popularity of the newly opened server has skyrocketed in an instant, and it is overcrowded!
New players can't get in, they can only queue outside.
Ye Zhizhou was shocked, because since he came to Shangyang Games, he has never seen a server queue!
Now he understands that the players who filled the new server all came from the old server!
Players were originally scattered in dozens of servers, so each server seemed deserted.
But now, the players who are still active are crowding together in the new server, and they are all huddled together, which is naturally more lively.
Ye Zhizhou hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, hurry up and start a new server!"
Wang Xiaobin's mouse quickly operated: "I'll get it done right now. Now that the latest server is full, a new server will be opened automatically."
He whispered again: "It's really evil, players are so enthusiastic about the new server? Could it be that our changes are really effective? Immediately."
Everyone in the design team was excited. Many people have not played "Blood War Song" for a long time, and this time they also registered a trumpet for the first time.
"Everyone goes to different servers, so it is easy to observe the situation of different servers."
"It's best to add a big guild and join their chat group to see how local tyrants and ordinary players react to this version update!"
Ye Zhizhou was very excited, and quickly arranged tasks for everyone in the design team, lurking in each new server, and observing players' feedback on this new version!
When Lao Liu was the master planner, he never did these things, because in his opinion it was meaningless.
Just look at the data and modify the game. What's the use of mixing with the player group to collect opinions bit by bit
But Ye Zhizhou didn't think so.
He has always felt that as a planner, he must play his own game, and he must go deep into the player group to get the most authentic feedback.
If the designers themselves don't like their games, how can the players like them
After playing for a few minutes, someone invited Ye Zhizhou to join the guild, and then invited him to join the chat group.
As soon as I entered the group, I was swiped by various information.
"Go to the World Channel to swipe the screen to recruit people!"
"Today we must all rush to level 20, our guild must prepare for the national war as soon as possible!"
"Do you still have any old friends who abandoned the pit before? Hurry up and pull over!"
"I'll go to the previous group to ask, and try to get ten people, all old players and old drivers!"
Ye Zhizhou didn't pay attention for a while, and the news of the chat group became 99+, which was impossible to read.
What made Ye Zhizhou particularly shocked was that this group of people spontaneously brought in many old players who had already retired to play the new server!
Ye Zhizhou has never seen this kind of enthusiasm in players, not even when he first entered the game of Yangyang and "Blood War Song" was still at its peak!
Ye Zhizhou looked at the forum post again.
I still remember when Lao Liu launched the 888 weapon before, the forum was almost noisy, players chased and sprayed, and the update announcement posts were sprayed on hundreds of floors, and the next two or three weeks also continued to whip the corpse without stopping at all.
Later, with the loss of players, the popularity of the forum continued to decline, but it was still dominated by scolding.
As a result, the version has now been updated, and the entire forum has suddenly changed to a different style!
There used to be posts scolding the dog for planning every day, but now none of them can be seen. Players are discussing problems in games such as forming a guild and preparing for a national war.
Ye Zhizhou looked at the forum posts and the players' chat groups in disbelief, thinking about how all this happened.
"Isn't it possible... This is life after death?"
Ye Zhizhou understood a little.
The original "Blood War Song" is already a stagnant pool. Lao Liu and Du Ruijie have squeezed the last drop of blood for revenue, and the game is terminally ill.
The conflicts between players and the design team, local tyrants and ordinary players have reached an extremely intensified and irreconcilable state.
Because krypton gold is too heavy, a large number of ordinary players are lost, and the activities in the game cannot be organized. Even if the local tyrants have krypton gold, no one will play with him, and he feels more and more that his money is not worth it.
As a result, ordinary players ran away, local tyrants ran away, and only a few old players were still struggling, and the game continued to go downhill.
But now, all the payment points are cut off, and only the most basic stamina potion remains.
This seemingly inconspicuous change has turned the game environment upside down!
For ordinary players, the game is no longer available and can be played;
All the good things that can be obtained by recharging are all given away;
In the new clothes, I also have the opportunity to experience the thrill of the local tyrant wearing ten in the national war;
This is simply the ultimate big deal, of course, without hesitation to play the new server!
There are indeed many local tyrants who have retreated, but as Pei Qian said, do whatever they want!
What's more, not all the local tyrants ran away, but some remained.
In this way, although the income has plummeted by 70% to 80%, the remaining players have completely forgotten the previous unpleasantness and rekindled their enthusiasm for the game!
Ye Zhizhou completely understood.
"Sure enough, President Pei has already seen the problem of "Blood War Song", knowing that simply launching new gameplay or changing art resources will not help, so he has to cut off all the payment points!"
"This is... a strong man's broken wrist!"
"Cut off revenue and save word of mouth, this is the only way to save "Blood War Song"!"
The problem that seemed to be unsolvable at first was immediately turned around by a simple operation by President Pei!
Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but admire President Pei even more.
Of course, he knew in his heart that this was just the first step.
Although this operation has saved the reputation of the game, the price is also huge: this game does not make money!
Without the large recharge of local tyrants, the income plummeted by at least 80%.
Originally, the monthly income of "Blood War Song" was only 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. It is hard to say whether the monthly income can still be left at 80,000 yuan.
Moreover, no new payment points can be opened in the future, otherwise the player's reputation will immediately backlash, that is, it will be completely cool, and President Pei will be difficult to save!
Ye Zhizhou feels that it is like a clearance sale now, and the popularity has indeed risen, but it is not a solution to keep burning money like this without making a profit!
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore."
"I can think of problems that Pei can't think of?"
"These must be within President Pei's plan, as long as you honestly follow President Pei's requirements."
Ye Zhizhou suddenly had an unprecedented confidence in himself and the prospect of Shangyang Games!
