Chapter 25 Test Server Opening
June 18th.
Friday.
Seven o'clock.
There is still one hour before the five test servers are opened.
Lin Yao came to the company early, and so did everyone else.
No one can relax today.
The launch time of the new version is really too tight. The internal testing time is not long, and no one can guarantee that there will be no problems on the first day of launch.
Although Lin Yao said confidently at the beginning that it was okay to let players test some bugs.
But if there are real problems, they must be solved in time.
Otherwise, no matter how much you reiterate that the right of interpretation belongs to the game party, it will not help.
"Finally this day has come, it's been a month."
Zhong Xiu glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and sighed.
"... Let's get through this week first before relaxing and sighing, but I guess after this week we'll have to worry about the new version in the entire server. To be honest, it's really torturous."
Lin Yao held the mug, gently blew away the mist that drifted out, looked at the water in the cup that was slightly rippling, and whispered: "I just hope that after this time, we don't have to worry so much anymore."
"Yeah, unless we start another project, but that may be a bit far-fetched... Well, where's Manager Mu?"
Zhong Xiu looked around, and he was not surprised to not see Zhu Nianqiao, she went to get some water.
But Mu Wanqing was different, she shouldn't be absent at this time.
Lin Yao took a sip of water and replied, "She fell asleep in her seat. She seemed too nervous last night and didn't sleep all night. I didn't call her."
"Is that so."
Zhong Xiu nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of instant coffee. Then he glanced at the computer screen and suddenly said, "Lin Yao."
"Huh?"
"Do you think it's useful?... I'm just saying some of my opinions. Just forget about it if you've listened to them. Although you said that continuing to sell props that enhance attributes is chronic suicide no matter how good the game is, you have to admit that these heavy krypton players are really important. They contribute almost half of the revenue. If they really don't play, it would be a big loss."
Zhong Xiu organized his words: "And you are not willing to back down at all. You are only willing to return the gold coins, and then only give a mount to players who have spent a certain amount of money. Is this compensation really useful? Even if it is useful, why didn't you mention it in the announcement? To be honest... I think if you do this, those krypton gold players will really stop playing."
"..."
Lin Yao was silent. She took another sip of water before she whispered back, "I have discussed this with Miss Mu many times. She was very opposed to my doing this at the time, and even suggested giving these heavy-paying players some attribute compensation... Of course I disagree, because then my gameplay would be meaningless. In the early stages of an online game, you must at least be relatively fair. If you allow the attributes to expand before even the player base is formed, you can only make a quick buck. The game will not be in operation for long." "
And this quick money is insignificant compared to the benefits brought by long-term operation."
Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment: "So you..."
"Yes, if you can't compensate for the attributes, then you can only compensate in terms of appearance. What are the krypton gold players for in this turn-based online game? To show off? To be different? Maybe all of them. Then the mounts that are not sold to the public and are specially customized by the official and given away at the server launch are a good choice."
"Then why don't you write it in the announcement?"
Lin Yao pointed to the computer screen: "Look at the slogan we have for the new version."
"Free game, green online game?"
"Yes, the slogan has been put out, and we are openly trying to please the rich players. It doesn't look good or sound good, but I have to save face."
Lin Yao let go of the mug with her left hand, scratched her face lightly, and smiled embarrassedly: "Besides, you saw the public opinion yesterday. If we add the issue of compensation, we might be ridiculed and hypocritical, and ordinary players will also form a bad impression."
"...Have you considered this too?"
Zhong Xiu was slightly stunned.
Lin Yao nodded, then hesitated for a while and said, "Of course, there is another reason. In fact, to be honest, this reward is not very valuable, and it is not even unique. After all, as long as a certain amount of money is recharged, you can get that mount. When those rich players see the announcement saying dryly that they will be compensated with a mount, they may not take it seriously when they are angry."
"But after a night of calmness, the new version is launched today. They have invested so much money, most of them will still choose to take a look. At the very least, they have to take a look at what the game has become. And being rewarded with a mount as
soon as it goes online should be considered a surprise, right? From 'Fuck, there is nothing' to 'I was compensated with a mount', the change in their mood during this period should make them feel better." "Then in this mood, when they see the recharged gold coins converted back on the mall page, they should give our game a chance, right? Anyway, those gold coins can be used to re-enhance their own characters. If they really don't play, the gold coins will be useless, and it would be a waste if they don't use them... Most players are still unwilling to give up these. This is the so-called sunk cost."
"..."
Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao in shock.
He didn't know what to say.
Although he didn't know what the final effect would be.
But this seemingly young planner in front of him really thought too much.
It was enough to inspire admiration.
Anyway, he couldn't do it.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yao noticed that Zhong Xiu was a little dazed, and asked after yawning coquettishly.
She got up too early. She
was so sleepy.
The cats hadn't even gotten up yet.
She got up.
"Nothing, I just want to know what will happen to this game in the end."
Zhong Xiu glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen again, and suddenly looked forward to the subsequent performance of the game "Fantasy OL".
Under the leadership of a young and beautiful planner.
Where will the game go?
"God knows."
Lin Yao took another sip of hot water and whispered, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
Zhong Xiu was stunned for a moment and laughed.
"That's right."
Outside the window, a breeze in the early morning rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground and swirled them in the air.
Then, the invisible wind blew into the house, brushing past Mu Wanqing, who was lying on the table in her coat, and gently lifted her hair.
The server opening time is coming soon.
...
Eight o'clock.
Five test servers are officially opened.
Eight forty.
Peng Qiang finished breakfast, opened the curtains, and looked at the fallen leaves in the air, which were blown up by the wind and swirled, in silence.
It was another boring day...
Ding--
a crisp reminder sound suddenly came from behind.
Peng Qiang looked back at the computer and cursed, "Chao!"
He made up his mind not to play that rubbish game last night. He
was so angry that he even uninstalled the game.
But when he got up today and ate breakfast, he felt that he was too arbitrary yesterday...
After all, he had charged so much money, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't play it? Aren't those returned coins useless?
This is a bloody loss.
So he thought about it carefully.
He downloaded the game again.
He was just waiting for the game to download.
"I want to see what you changed the game to look like!"
Peng Qiang returned to the computer, pulled out a chair and sat down, angrily opened the client, then quickly entered the account and password like a pianist, and clicked to log in.
Then, he didn't log in.
It prompted to check the user agreement.
Peng Qiang didn't care much, just checked it casually, and then clicked to enter the game.
The character selection page popped up immediately.
Looking at the character that appeared on the screen.
Peng Qiang was stunned.
He noticed at a glance that the weapon modeling had changed.
His character level was very high, level 100, which was the highest level in the previous version.
His weapon was also a level 100 sword, and the modeling looked okay.
But compared with the new weapon, it was a world of difference.
Now the weapon not only has light effects, but also something like a blade light spitting on the blade, which looks very handsome.
"... Just change this kind of thing?"
Peng Qiang reacted and didn't take it seriously.
If you want him to play again just by changing the weapon special effects, then you are underestimating him.
He came up this time just to take a look and then go to the forum to complain.
He sneered and clicked to enter the game directly.
The loading time was extremely short.
The screen changed.
Peng Qiang was about to control the character.
A gorgeous window popped up. There were auspicious
clouds on both sides, a gilded round frame in the middle, and a pile of gold coins in the middle of the round frame.
[Your attributes have changed]
[Congratulations on obtaining 510,933 gold coins]
Peng Qiang was stunned and subconsciously clicked to confirm.
The idea of not playing in his heart was slightly shaken.
Then, before he could control the character.
A second gorgeous window popped up again.
[Congratulations on obtaining the special item - Deer in the Clouds]
What the hell?
Peng Qiang was stunned again and subconsciously clicked to confirm again.
Then.
It was the lottery interface.
Peng Qiang reacted and didn't want to watch the lottery.
He closed the page directly and quickly opened his backpack.
Something that looked like a gem lay quietly in the corner grid.
He moved the mouse to look at the item.
[Deer in the Clouds]
[Legend has it that only people with destiny can be recognized as the purest spirit in the world. Its body is pure white without a trace of other colors. The fairy spirit is overflowing around it, which can nourish all living things.]
[Single-player mount, not for sale, only rewarded to those who made indelible contributions to the game in the early stage of the game. Players above level 70 can exchange the mount at the Mount Pioneer in Lin'an City (562, 222). The mount number is: 006, bound to the player: Cangshan Dragon, cannot be traded, cannot be discarded]
"I'm Zhuo."
After reading the instructions, Peng Qiang was a little surprised and curious. He flew directly to the Mount Pioneer and clicked to exchange.
Ding-
the gorgeous window popped up again.
This time it was a mount, shaped like an elk, but with extremely long antlers, emitting a fairy-like particle effect. As the instructions said, there was really no trace of other colors on its body, and it looked particularly fairy-like.
"...Mount?"
Peng Qiang fumbled to find the riding button, and the moment he clicked it.
The deer in the clouds immediately arrived under his crotch.
At the same time.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to player Cangyunzhilong for obtaining the special mount 'Deer in the Clouds', number 006]
As soon as the news came out,
the world channel immediately became lively.
"Fuck, here they come again! Another rich guy!"
"Isn't this Brother Cangshan?"
"The sixth one has appeared, are there any more?"
"Big brother, please protect me!"
"Please help me!"
"Picking nose expression."
Peng Qiang looked at the information jumping quickly on the left, and then he moved his eyes away from the mount and noticed the revised channel system.
He looked at the world channel information that kept popping up, and after a little exploration, he knew what it was.
After all, the logic of the revised channel system is very simple.
He thought about it, tapped the keyboard and sent a world message.
"My friends, what is the Deer in the Clouds? Can anyone explain it?" As
soon as he sent this message,
there was an immediate response.
"I heard that only players who recharged a certain amount before can get it! And each one has a number! Rich guy, please protect me!" "
This is the sixth one. I don't know how many rich guys got this mount. I want it too..."
"It's not for sale, you bastard planner! You are really good."
"Rich guy, do you want to team up to kill the Ten-Star Tiangang?"
"Picking nose expression."
"..."
Various messages scrolled.
Peng Qiang looked at the world channel, where people kept calling each other "tycoons", and then looked at his own character, and the deer in the clouds under his crotch.
The resentment in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He smiled so hard that his mouth split open.
