[005] Nirvana rebirth
In the first week of the Magic Public Beta, four servers were opened in two major regions: Telecom Area 1 and Netcom Area 1. At that time, the four gay friends of 301 settled in the first server: The Sword of Kings.
As the number of people in the public beta was overflowing, four more servers were opened in the second week of the two regions.
This result is already quite impressive.
In 2030 AD, although there was no such fully simulated game as people imagined, and the mouse and keyboard were still the mainstream, the game servers were different. 20 years ago, a game server could usually accommodate thousands of people. Today, 20 years later, technology is changing with each passing day, and a game server can accommodate 500,000 players online at the same time.
In the two weeks of Magic Beta, there were 16 servers in the two regions, creating a record of more than 7 million people being online at the same time. Every weekend, the servers were full, and there was a situation where you could not log in for half a day in a row.
So, on May 16, the game company added two sets of servers.
The long-awaited Telecom Area 2 and Netcom Area 2 have finally been released. At 2 pm this afternoon, both regions will open a new set of servers, and Telecom Area 2 will also usher in the first server in the region: Nirvana rebirth!
The big reason why Zhen Lang chose to go to the new district was that he liked the name of this server.
He felt that he had been stupid for seven years without understanding, and could not be stupid for seven years without understanding.
It is also time for Nirvana to be reborn.
⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙
"Damn, Tian Ji said he was not here." Dinghi went to 302 next door for a walk, and after coming back, he was very angry: "That guy always loses his links at critical moments, and he can't bear to leave his equipment and refuses to go to the new district."
"It's not that he can't bear to give up equipment, but that green tea girl, right?" Erpang began to talk viciously again.
"Tianji finally found a wife in the game. It's normal that he can't bear to leave. Long live our understanding." Zhen Lang looked like a person who had experienced it, and seemed to understand Tianji's mood very much.
"That's good luck, you can make green tea at the street." The webmaster was very jealous and longing, "I'm in Telecom 1, and my face is too dark. I wonder if I'll be full of character after going to Telecom 2, and I'll hook up with a green tea or something?"
"There will be something for white clothes, and there will be something for green tea." Erpang also began to look forward to the future.
"Give me a set of clothes and I can lift up Telecom Zone 2." The dynamic look forward to life.
Why are everyone looking forward to the white outfit? This is related to the magical setting.
The magic game has two major characteristics. The first is that it is difficult to upgrade.
Domestic games in the past twenty years have all had something that people can't complain about. The upgrade is very simple. Some game settings are too perverted, and they can reach dozens or hundreds of levels a day. There are also so-called free green online games that have no bottom line to make money, and the settings are not moral. As long as you spend money to buy mall props, you can upgrade like a rocket.
This situation has caused the entire market to sluggish. Many players feel that playing these games is like playing private servers. They are no longer interested in two or three days. Many hard-core players often see complaints on major forums: Nowadays, it is really difficult to find an online game that can be played for a week...
Magic chose a reverse marketing model, which was particularly difficult to upgrade. It would be good to reach level 10 in a week. This model was not favored by many game media in advance, but it was successful. According to professional analysis, this model made the majority of players feel challenging and greatly stimulated the motivation for players to level up.
The second feature of this game is that the equipment explosion rate is very low.
In the past, mainstream domestic games all have one thing in common. Players almost don’t need to fight monsters and equipment. They can directly search for a brainless path and upgrade to get everything. What is the green set of a level 10 gift package, the blue set of a level 20 gift package, and the purple set of a level 30 gift package, when you feel a little awesome, suddenly you find that you can’t play at all without recharging your money at level 40…
In this type of game, you can burst out a lot of equipment by hitting a bunch of wild monsters, but none of these equipment can make players feel excited, except for decomposition and store sales. In this mode of game, rational players are very clear that top-level equipment can only be obtained by spending money on various treasure chests or gift packs in a rich way, and cannot be cracked out through any monsters.
In such a game, most players have no sense of expectation and feel disgusted with leveling and fighting monsters. When a player has no expectations in his heart, it is naturally difficult to have a good impression of a game.
Magic once again did the opposite. Before the public beta, it launched such a promotional advertisement: There is a set of whiteboards, and you are just a good play!
At that time, many players were wondering what could a whiteboard outfit have to do with high-quality play?
On the first day of the public beta, Renma finally understood the meaning of this ad slogan. There was no gift package in the magic, and the player only had a coarse cloth dress when logging in to the game. This piece of equipment had no attributes and was purely a fig leaf. At the beginning, all players were barefoot barefoot. What happened next depends on their personal luck.
Players were surprised to find that this was not the kind of game that beat a few monsters and exploded a lot of equipment. On the first day of the public beta, many people struggled until midnight and even failed to explode a piece of whiteboard. Some even thought the server was malfunctioning and went to the forum to complain. Some people thought the game was too weird and uninstalled the game in anger.
But the next day, the players who complained became quiet and the players who uninstalled the game reinstalled. Because these people saw some players showing off their character on the forum, judging from the huge number of posts, it was clearly not the official child care of the game.
In those posts, some players got a whiteboard weapon on the first day, stood in the wind, and then took gorgeous screenshots. In other games, this is simply a picture of looking for spray. However, in magic, such pictures are synonymous with awesomeness. Those players who had whiteboard weapons on the first day gave people a sense of the real-time artifacts that a novice village in the novel was exposed.
Some players also posted help: "Since I had two whiteboards, I was watched by hundreds of people on the street, and a few girls asked me to chat with... I was so confused. My dear, what should I do? What should I do?"
This kind of post has caused controversy. Some say it is an advertisement post, some say it is a show-off post, and some are full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Originally, the animals of 301 and 302 didn't believe these posts, thinking that this was the forum's child care to deliberately create momentum for Magic, until a real story happened on the campus of Normal University completely changed everyone's views on those posts and their views on the game Magic.
This real story happened to the frog in dormitory 302 next door.
The frog was lucky, and he got a whiteboard weapon and a ring on the first day of the public beta.
At that time, Tian Ji didn't feel how special he was. Compared with the online games he had played in the past, this was nothing. On the evening of the public beta, he hung the game characters in the novice village and went to the cafeteria for dinner. Suddenly, he saw hundreds of messages in his game mailbox. Many people asked if his weapons and rings were sold, and some people asked where his equipment was released.
What's even more exciting is that a girl actually asked him shyly: Brother, can you make friends...
The next day, the frog was fighting with the girl, and it was as close as a paintbrush.
This way of showing affection made the animals in the two dormitories unable to bear it. They all guessed that the girl was a shemale, or that she was Fengjie's cousin, and maybe she was a stinging uncle... No one expected that on the third day, the girl actually took the initiative to videotape with Tian Ji. From the video, the girl looked pretty pretty, dressed sexy, had a seductive voice, and had a very online anchor style, so that the onlookers were shamelessly hard on the spot.
Before Magic opened the marriage system, Tian Ji and the girl had already called out by her husband and wife, and they were in love all day long.
Although everyone says that the female player's cliff is green tea, the frog doesn't care.
Because, for the first time he was chased by a girl...
The story of the frog quickly spread to the major dormitories of Building 9.
The experience of Frog makes people understand how awesome and cool it is to have a few whiteboard outfits in the Magic game!
At the beginning, the webmaster and Dynasty were not very interested in magic. Since seeing Tian Ji show her love every day, these two animals have been stimulated. They are more desperate than anyone else in leveling up to fight monsters, and they dream of being challenged by the green tea bitch.
Someone on the forum has counted data. Players with normal character can get one piece of equipment on average in three days.
This statistics are quite reliable. After playing with the Dynamic and Cannon for half a month, they each have 5 pieces of equipment, which is exactly one piece in an average of 3 days. Erpang has better character and has 6 pieces of equipment. The most extraordinary character is the frog, with 1 weapon, 5 pieces of armor, 3 pieces of jewelry, and a total of 9 pieces.
Originally, the animals were predicting that the green tea girl would turn to the embrace of a rich man after dating Tian Ji for at most one week. As it turned out, Brother Tian Ji, who had the equipment bonus, had gained love. After dating for two weeks, the girl had not broken up with him.
It is precisely for this reason that Tian Ji is unwilling to go to the new district.
Zhen Lang was in bad luck. After working with his brothers for half a month, he only had 4 pieces of equipment.
Fortunately, compared with the webmaster, Zhen Lang found a little comfort. The webmaster was so dark that he had only 3 pieces of equipment in half a month. One piece of equipment was produced on average in 5 days. Moreover, his equipment was 2 armor and 1 jewelry, making it the only one in the two dormitories who had no weapons yet and could only fight monsters with empty hands.
It is such a game with extremely low explosion rates that has made countless players crazy.
Since the first stand-alone game on Earth was released, the game itself has been a process of enjoying challenging levels. A large number of free domestic games have killed this challenge in order to make money. In the Magic game, players have found a long-lost challenge again.
What's even more rare is that players have a sense of expectation for this game.
If you have expectations in your heart, you will continue to play.
Chapter completed!
