A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game that ...
Chapter 65: War of the Gods of War
Mid-August.
The data of "Fantasy OL" continued to rise.
However, the dividends of the two activities, "Havoc in Heaven" and "Struggle for Materials", have gradually faded, and the trend of the data has also tended to be calm. The
grand occasion of the full server when the activity was just launched has not appeared again. However, the grand occasion of the full server when the activity was just launched has passed .
But many peers have noticed it. In the field of turn-based online games, a disruptor has quietly entered. It did not make a big fuss. In the early stage, it relied on a lottery to attract players with gimmicks, and then steadily updated and launched two innovative gameplays . Then in just three months, this turn-based online game, which was originally silent and a joke in the eyes of peers, has become the top game of the same type, and its popularity is close to the big brother "Tianhu Travels". The rapid rise of "Fantasy OL" was beyond everyone's expectations. In addition, during this period, the news of Tianhu's acquisition of eBay came out, and "Fantasy OL" originally belonged to eBay. Many small companies are somewhat desperate, thinking that the giant whale of Tianhu and eBay is going to kill the online game industry. They will not even let go of the company's competitors... They don't know yet that "Fantasy OL" no longer belongs to eBay. "Fantasy OL" is not killing the competitors, but killing the competitors. Now the development manager of "Tianhu Travels" is more desperate than them... And in this atmosphere. Without any signs. "Fantasy OL" suddenly issued an announcement in the game, announcing that it will hold a planning direct meeting the next day, and will launch new gameplay at the direct meeting, so that all players can look forward to it. Let's not talk about the first player who saw the news. When Chen Qi saw it, he was immediately numb again. Sure enough. He knew. The opponent was fast and ruthless. ... But for this direct meeting. The purest ones are still the players, the players who are currently playing "Fantasy OL". They expect Lin Yao to bring new gameplay without any extra ideas. For example, Peng Qiang. The well-known rich man with the game ID Cangshan Dragon has been very annoyed recently. The main reason for his annoyance is that his family's quarry business is getting better and better. He is making more and more money. He is making too much money . But there are too few places to spend money in the game . He has talked about this with his friends in the game several times recently. There are only so many krypton gold points in "Fantasy OL". His equipment is now ranked among the best in the whole server. He doesn't want to continue playing. The same goes for pets. It's annoying to have money but can't spend it. Although his friends in the game always think he is pretending and always send a contemptuous expression... But Peng Qiang really looks forward to more krypton gold points in the game, or more PVP gameplay. "Fantasy OL" has a lot of players, and they are all very active, unlike the ordinary players of "Tianhu Youji" who are numb and bored. But this game has very few places to pretend. One gang battle can't satisfy him at all. Now everyone in the whole server basically knows him. Every time there is a gang battle, people avoid him, and those who can fight are all the same gang. There are some gangs he wants to meet. But he can't match them no matter what. There are really not many places to pretend. So he was looking forward to the new PVP gameplay that Lin Yao would bring this time. The next day. Peng Qiang sat in front of the computer early, waiting for the face-to-face meeting to start, with expectations. He hoped that the young and beautiful planner would make a big splash this time. Lin Yao appeared very quickly this time. She still looked a little uncomfortable in front of the camera. But this time she was barely mentally prepared. There was no joke because of the crazy scrolling real-time comments like "Planner, I love you. " "Good afternoon, everyone." The first person to speak was not the planner Lin Yao, but the development manager named Mu next to her. But she didn't talk about the game at first. Instead, she introduced a software called "Kaihei", which sounded strange. Peng Qiang thought it was strange. Perhaps the manager named Mu also noticed that many people didn't understand this name, so he explained it softly. "The meaning of kaihei comes from the idea of opening a black shop... A black shop usually refers to a restaurant or bar that uses illegal means to murder customers, rob people or extort money... And the meaning of kaihei refers to a group of people in the same game who are in a convenient communication environment, such as directly communicating in the same Internet cafe, or even if they are not together... but communicate in real time through chat tools, and form a team to play the game. And kaihei is the chat tool prepared for you." She began to demonstrate the functions of the kaihei software in detail. The function is very simple. It is clear at a glance. Almost everyone who has seen it understands it. It looks very convenient. Currently, the people watching the live broadcast are all players who play turn-based online games. With the emergence of gang battles, they have also noticed that turn-based online games are fine for ordinary daily activities. Thirty seconds is completely enough, but if it is a high-intensity PK, typing is too inconvenient. Sometimes the words are finished before they are typed.
A game that could have been won, but you may end up losing if you operate recklessly.
So after Mu Wanqing introduced the software,
the response was pretty good.
Many players were very interested.
Mu Wanqing took the opportunity to announce the download time and test time. The software can be downloaded after 3 pm, and registration is open at the same time.
The software is completely free!
At this point,
the software is considered to have been introduced.
Peng Qiang knew that the next step was the highlight, so he waited patiently.
However,
the live broadcast screen was still on the software, and no one spoke for a long time.
Until.
A very small voice of "Lin Yao, it's your turn" sounded.
"Ah, sorry, let's continue... Next, let's talk about the game."
Lin Yao coughed dryly, and seemed to react, and said softly.
The picture changed.
The game screen appeared.
A building that no player had ever seen appeared on the screen. The whole building was arched, with a huge statue in the middle, and the layout was very much like an altar.
Many players knew who the statue in the middle was.
It was the God of War in the game plot.
"Next, the game will add a building called the Temple of Martial God in the main city of all regions. The Temple of Martial God enshrines the God of Martial God. All players can go to the Temple of Martial God to pray every day, and then randomly get a buff state, which lasts for up to two hours, including an increased probability of obtaining precious items from treasure maps, experience gain, pet washing and blessing, etc."
"..."
Peng Qiang was a little disappointed after hearing this.
Praying.
It doesn't sound very useful.
I thought this beautiful planner would make a big deal, but it looks like I'm going to be disappointed...
"In addition, if players are dissatisfied with the blessing status of the day, we also provide a second chance. Players can talk to another group of Gods of Martial Gods and get an extra chance to pray again."
Lin Yao suddenly changed the subject.
As she finished speaking.
Several player characters suddenly fell around the statue of the God of Martial God.
These player characters are preset images of the game, without player IDs, only the initial names of the characters.
"These roles are temporarily played by system characters, because the first batch of martial gods have not yet been decided, but next month, next month, this position will be played by martial gods who have made outstanding contributions to the entire game."
Peng Qiang's thoughts were interrupted and he raised his head suddenly.
"And each martial god in the future will stand in front of the martial gods in the game and be admired by all players on the server."
"As for how to decide the martial gods, it is related to the gameplay I will talk about next. This gameplay is the martial god battle... the top PVP that all servers can participate in!"
Lin Yao started to talk about the main topic, explaining the rules and gameplay of the server battle.
All servers participate!
PVP between servers!
Martial God Battle!
"Registration for the first Martial God Battle is scheduled for August 25th."
Lin Yao finally announced the registration time: "Everyone can participate actively. If you can't participate in the Martial God Battle, you can also vote for your favorite team in this area."
"..."
What did Lin Yao say next?
Peng Qiang couldn't hear it at all.
He stared at the Martial God Temple on the screen.
His eyes were completely red.
There was only one thought in his mind.
Server Battle! Martial God! All players on the server can see their ID and game image!
