At eight o'clock in the evening, "Miracle MU", which represents the pinnacle of current online game strength, was officially launched in China!
The operation team of "Miracle MU" is very accurate in timing. Before eight o'clock in the evening, the registration button on the client was still gray. After eight o'clock, it immediately turned into a colorful and dynamic state.
The player who clicked in first shouted in the Internet cafe: "You can register!!!"
Immediately afterwards, a burst of cheers quickly erupted in the Internet cafe, and almost everyone rushed into the registration page at this moment and began to register their miracle accounts.
"Miracle MU" is unprecedented in the construction of the initial server. It directly opened the five major regions of North China, Central China, East China, South China, and West China. At the same time, each region has ten communities under its jurisdiction. Each community has Eight servers, that is to say, "Miracle MU" has a total of 400 small servers, and each small server can accommodate at least 2,000 people online at the same time, and there will be at least 500-1,000 redundant space. If calculated in this way, " When "Miracle MU" was officially launched in public beta, it already had the ability to have millions of users playing online at the same time.
When the server selection interface was fully displayed, not only the users were stunned, but even the industry insiders who were paying attention to "Miracle MU" were stunned.
Building such a huge server system right from the start is almost unheard of in the online game industry. It is evident that Baofeng Entertainment has high confidence in this game.
Moreover, what is outrageous is that the user experience level of "Miracle MU" can be found when registering. Although the server division is very complicated, there are five regional areas alone, but when registering, In order to reduce the user's registration cost, the system will automatically match the user's actual district based on the user's IP. In other words, when a Yanjing player registers for a district, by default he only needs to select the corresponding server in the North China district. It's ok, and the communities under the big district are automatically matched in order of fullness.
For example: by default, users in North China will start registration in North China District 1. After the number of registered people in North China District 1 reaches 20,000, they will be automatically assigned to North China District 2. Users generally only need to select the corresponding server to complete registration directly. Communities have their own needs and can make their own choices.
By default, 20,000 users are registered in each zone, which is just an initially set threshold. If, based on 20,000 registered users, the maximum number of people online at the same time on the server in a single day is only 1,000, then the server will automatically open up another 20,000 users. Register a user quota and control the server load in the best condition.
Online games with millions of users online at the same time have not yet appeared in this world. Legend is so awesome now, and there are only 300,000 or 400,000 players online at the same time. If historical development is followed, the number of people online at the same time in Legend will exceed 700,000 in the second half of this year. , in Li Mu’s impression, this number was the highest in online games in the world at that time.
The server size of "Miracle MU" when it was first launched was more than double that of Legend, which has been in operation for more than half a year. The main reason is that Li Mu has great hopes for this game, and Baofeng Entertainment is backed by Makino The technology and financial aspects are much stronger than Ninetowns in his previous life, and Tieba's strong promotion ability cannot be compared to Ninetowns. With money and resources, plus the experience and lessons from previous lives, Li Mu is fully confident that he can avoid detours. Let "Miracle MU" truly flourish in your own hands.
Facts have proved that "Miracle MU" with strong backing is a miracle in itself.
At 8:30, Li Mu received the operational data. Within half an hour of the official public beta and open registration, the number of registered users of "Miracle MU" increased by 3.2 million.
In half an hour, three million registered users. Even if a single user registered repeatedly, this data is still incredible in this era.
Similarly, at 8:30, the number of people online at the same time reached 1.1 million, and even such a luxurious server configuration was fully loaded.
Miracle's operation team immediately set the maximum limit at 1.2 million. This user level is the highest intensity that the server can carry. If it exceeds this intensity, it will basically be difficult to ensure the smooth operation of the server.
According to the server's records, more than 200,000 users tried to squeeze into the server, but because the server stopped responding to external login requests, they could only guard the client and try again and again.
Li Mu was sitting on the seat of the Internet cafe, slumped lazily in the comfortable computer chair. The computer had been idle and doing nothing, and all his attention was on the Miracle players around him.
Players around him praised this game as soon as they started playing it. Internet cafes were filled with exclamations from all kinds of miraculous players. They started to believe in the graphics and operation of this game from the very beginning.
The game "Miracle MU" was originally launched in China in 2003. At that time, "Miracle MU" had already achieved great success in South Korea. Ninetowns went to great lengths to acquire this game and sacrifice it for Netzen's profits. The ratio is very high, and the cost of getting this game is much lower than The9 getting it in 2003. Not only is the price low, but the most important thing is that this game was launched in China more than half a year in advance. The game itself is very important to domestic users. The impact of the game is too great, and current players have not yet developed a strong belief in Legend, so in the eyes of players, this game is much better than Legend.
Li Mu suddenly felt that he might have cut Shanda in half in the future. If Legend could not ensure a good momentum of operation for two or three years, Shanda Group, a powerful group in the future, might be born with stunted growth. Deformity is a small matter, but miscarriage is a big deal.
Li Mu is a person who believes in the butterfly effect. What's more, he brought "Miracle MU" to China more than half a year ahead of schedule. This will have an extremely powerful impact on the original pattern of the domestic online game market.
Zhao Kang also saw the potential of this game from the reactions of the hundreds of people in the Internet cafe, and couldn't help but tease Li Mu: "According to the definition you gave of cheats before, are you going to try your best to prevent miracle cheats now?"
Li Mu nodded seriously, recalling the huge consequences caused by Jiucheng's letting of cheats, and said resolutely: "If there is a Miracle cheat, I will kill one, and if there are two, I will kill a pair. Not only must all cheats be blocked in time, but all users must be blocked." Once cheating users are found to have their accounts permanently banned, we will never tolerate them. Playing online games is like opening a casino. I want to create an absolutely fair gaming environment for my guests, and I will never let anyone cheat in my territory!"
After finishing speaking, Li Mu added: "Except for myself..."
…
According to Li Mu's estimate, the servers may be fully loaded in the first few days when Miracle goes online. However, a considerable number of these players should be crowds of onlookers who flock to the game under the influence of the herd effect. As the open beta continues, players will It will continue to wash out and settle. In the next three months, it will gradually stabilize at the level of 500,000 people online at the same time. Li Mu will be quite satisfied.
However, the industry's predictions for "Miracle MU" are much more optimistic than Li Mu's. Most Internet companies, after seeing the popularity of the public beta night, combined with the game's own quality, believe that this game will be officially launched. After charging, the revenue capacity will exceed that of the popular Legend of Blood, and it will become the first online game with more than one million people online at the same time.
To Li Mu's expectation, players' demand for miracles did not drop at all in the next few days, but continued to rise. In addition to the period from 2 am to 10 am, the pressure on the server could be slightly relaxed. Other time servers have been filling up, and more and more players are trying to get into the game.
At the beginning, 200,000 people were blocked from the door. Three days later, this number became 500,000. With the heated discussions caused by Miracle MU on Tieba and major forums, a large number of players posted screenshots of the game and the game After the content was released, it virtually became a source of tap water and helped push Miracle so hard that the number of people trying to squeeze into the game during peak hours every day continued to grow.
Only then did Li Mu suddenly realize. He thought he had released a beast cub that was waiting to be fed. Even if it was a good breed and even if it grew quickly, it would still take some time. But he never expected that the moment it was born, , is a mythical beast that is already quite large, and its growth rate is astonishingly fast.
Fortunately, Baofeng Entertainment had sufficient funds "borrowed" from Makino Technology and had strong reserves for adding new servers. After regaining his consciousness, Li Mu immediately arranged for the relevant person in charge to add servers to improve the game's carrying capacity. Miracle's game carrying capacity has been increased to a scale that can satisfy two million people online at the same time.
Two million people are online at the same time. In China, it is basically a level that only games such as DNF and CF can reach in the future. Even the national server of World of Warcraft does not have this strength. If "Miracle MU" can really achieve the peak of Two million people are playing the game at the same time. The daily active users of this game must be in the tens of millions. Then the monthly revenue is estimated to be several hundred million. After removing all the manual operating costs and the small share given to Webzen, the monthly revenue will be The profit can definitely exceed 100 million. This is not even a gold mine, but a money printing machine.
"Miracle MU" continues to be popular in China. Li Mu set a final launch date for YY, which he had delayed, just one week after "Miracle MU" was launched.
In the last 24 hours before YY went online, Li Mu confirmed several key issues with the core team after the launch.
First, YY is scheduled to go online at 8 o'clock in the evening the next day. Li Mu has always preferred this prime time period for surfing the Internet;
Second, one hour before YY went online, Tieba ads, Tieba site messages, and Happy Farm site messages started pushing YY ads at the same time. The push content template has been written to tell users what YY is and what awesome things it has in the simplest language. Function.
Third, all users can directly register a YY account after downloading the YY client. The YY account is issued in the form of a number. Old users can bind the YY number and the Tieba account with one click. After binding, the user will be happy The farm will receive a prop package worth ten yuan. The technical department must ensure that no matter how high the instantaneous traffic is, the process of registration, binding, and reward collection must be smooth enough;
Fourth, YY’s friend cloning function is the core of quick landing, so the team must ensure that on the first day of YY’s launch, the registration and binding rate among Tieba logged-in users reaches more than 80%. If not, rewards will be provided immediately. Policy Remedies;
As long as you do these four things well, the rest will be left to the user.
