Chapter 1,369 Gold Coin Exchange

Focus on the future!

Wu Zhaopu really can't figure out how to focus on the future. Although the future of "War of the Worlds" will definitely be large-scale battles according to the development of the game. As long as the network traffic can reach it, as long as the computer hardware can reach it, it can be done in "War of the Worlds"

Let's have a "Third World War". Think about it, tens of thousands of tanks rumble forward on the ground, followed by hundreds of thousands of infantrymen advancing under a hail of bullets, and tens of thousands of fighter jets of all types roar past in the sky

, clouds rising from the explosion floated in the distance. The scene was indeed spectacular, tragic, and exciting.

But how to make money in the middle? -Wu Zhaopu wondered.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Wu, do you think that for such a large-scale battle, the amount of money consumed by any war would be astronomical, and where would this money come from?" Lin Fengxiao asked.

"Obtained through the game. Players can obtain it by completing tasks, or by collecting some materials for processing. There are many assisted living professions in the game. These are all means to ensure that players have enough game coins to play the game."

Wu Zhaopu explained.

Lin Feng nodded.

"But Mr. Wu, you have to understand that people, especially men, have an endless pursuit of honor and fame. Especially in this peaceful age, many people feel that life is too plain and boring. Many people feel that life is too plain and boring.

Men all yearn for the kind of life where they fight with iron horses, fight on the battlefield, and become kings and prime ministers. Of course, this kind of life can only appear in dreams. And online games can undoubtedly provide them with such an opportunity, especially "World War",

Think about it, when you establish a guild to expand the territory, unify the country, and finally lead your men to attack the empire, build a great cause for eternity, and unify the earth! Think about it, how exciting it is!" Lin Fengtan

Open your hands.

Wu Zhaopu closed his eyes and imagined the scene that Lin Feng said. When he stood on a high platform and shouted, thousands of good men under him would follow his orders and fight in all directions. What a feeling.

--Cool!

"So, as the game "World War" progresses, with the establishment of guilds and the establishment of countries, there will be more and more large-scale battles of this kind, and it is even possible that there will be battles far exceeding the scale of World War II every day.

When a battle happens, think about it, at that time, will players still have time to make money?" Lin Fengxiao asked.

Wu Zhaopu nodded. Indeed, when all the enemies of the "enemy country" come in, no player will have the leisure and grace to make money. The so-called rise and fall of a country is everyone's responsibility. In real life, most people are

You can't be this "common man", but you can do it in online games. Especially first-person shooting games, which are the games that are most likely to arouse the gaming desire of all men.

As for the scale of the war, in "World War", there is really no need to worry about the scale of the war being small. After all, this is a game, players can do whatever they want in the game, especially in the game they can solve many things that cannot be solved in reality. For example, China and Japan

Relationship, in real life it is impossible to avenge the compatriots who died during the eight-year war of resistance, but in the game it is completely possible.

The setting of "World War" is completely open-ended. In the game, as long as you want and have the strength, you can completely destroy a "country" and occupy its territory permanently (according to the game setting)

It is stipulated that if a country is destroyed and players in that country log in to the game again, they can choose to act as guerrillas or log in again in a third country).

"Then how to make money?" Wu Zhaopu, although already excited by Lin Feng's future "World War" game blueprint, still doesn't understand how Lin Feng plans to make money.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

"It's very simple. We directly provide exchange between game currency and real currency." Lin Feng said.

Wu Zhaopu took a deep breath.

The company directly provides the exchange of game currency and real currency, which is something that no online game company dares to try at present. First, if the exchange is provided directly, will the players exchange it? After all, such direct exchange will directly give it to all players.

It creates a feeling that the game is unfair; secondly, how to delimit this exchange ratio? As the game progresses, the price ratio in the game is also constantly fluctuating, how to delimit this ratio? Thirdly, will the state intervene? Fourthly,

Once this charging method is adopted, if players never redeem, the company will not make any money at all. How will it maintain operations? You must know that "World War" will definitely use supercomputers as servers and rent optical cables from various countries. How about daily maintenance?

The initial cost is estimated to be around one million US dollars. If players do not redeem, the "Second World" will not last long.

Lin Feng poured Wu Zhaopu a cup of tea.

"Mr. Wu, you are right to worry, but I don't think it will be an obstacle to this new charging model. First, this direct exchange can only be exchanged for gold coins, and in the game, gold coins are not omnipotent.

, except for some standard weapons used in stores, you cannot buy any high-tech weapons (in the setting of "World War", high-tech weapons need to be manufactured by players themselves. Of course, the higher the technological content of the weapon, the more high-tech weapons you can buy.

, the more players will need corresponding skills, and players will also need to purchase corresponding equipment and raw materials). In addition to buying ordinary weapons, gold coins can only buy ammunition and various raw materials." Lin Feng explained.

Wu Zhaopu nodded slowly. If this is the case, it will indeed not change any game balance. After all, no matter how many gold coins you exchange, you can only buy ordinary weapons, and other players can also buy the same weapons. You

It does not directly change the balance of the game. At most, your ammunition is n times that of others. But in the era of hot weapons, having more ammunition does not mean that you are better than others. After all, first-person shooting games are more often tested.

It is a human operation.

But there is another problem, that is, if these can only be exchanged, how to attract players to exchange gold coins? - Wu Zhaopu looked puzzled.

"It's very simple. When a large-scale battle breaks out, the president of a guild or the head of a country (both of which players can assume) wants to launch a war or defend territory, and must call on members to fight. In "World War"

》, everything costs money. When members join a guild, they will naturally fight for the interests of the guild. But the consumption in the process must naturally be supplied by the guild. You said, based on the territory of "World War"

, when this war breaks out, will it end? Once the war continues, the consumption of these guilds will be far greater than what they can obtain. If you don't want the group to be wiped out, you will have to buy guns and ammunition from the game system.

!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Wu Zhaopu thought about it carefully, and it was indeed what Lin Feng said. If the war continued, the consumption would be huge. No one guild would be able to bear it. And if the members were to bear the consumption alone, I'm afraid only one would be able to bear it.

As a result, members have defected to join other guilds. After all, "World War" is a first-person shooting game, not a cold weapon game like "Legend" or "World of Warcraft". A sword or a knife can be used for a long time, and

It can also be repaired.

In War of the Worlds, every bullet is money!

"Also, these guilds occupy a place and they always need to build it, and construction requires money. Where does this money come from? It is too slow to make money from the game. Therefore, they can only buy it from the system. So

, what we earn is the money of those who want to become generals and marshals. And these people have money! Of course, apart from these people, ordinary players will also spend money if they don't want to join a guild or want to upgrade their weapons.

When they don't have enough money, they naturally have to exchange it. After all, the rhythm of a war game is far beyond that of any game. Once a war breaks out, based on the bad nature of human beings, it will not happen until the winner is determined and one party dies.

It’s over. According to my conservative estimate, the cash exchanged every day will exceed tens of millions of dollars." Lin Feng said with bright eyes.

Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. Indeed, as Lin Feng said, the demand for money in this future game is indeed very large, very large, but what is the ratio? What is the currency exchange ratio? If it is unfair, it will attract criticism from players.

"Mr. Wu, there is no need to worry about this. Didn't our company establish a 'Second World Monetary Organization' before? It was led by former World Bank Vice President Anne Kruger and former World Monetary Fund President Michelle -

Is Camdessus managing it? With their abilities, how can they still not be able to manage the virtual currency exchange ratio?" Lin Feng said easily.

Wu Zhaopu thought about it for a while and realized that he was confused. The former presidents of the two largest financial organizations in the world were both in the company. A mere game virtual currency would stump them. His worries were really unnecessary.

But if we do this, will the state intervene?

"Don't worry, as long as our virtual currency does not impact normal financial currencies, there will be no problems." Lin Feng said, patting his chest.

Virtual currency is virtual currency, and its existence depends entirely on the virtual world. If you want to impact real currency, unless this virtual world has become an integral part of the entire world, I am afraid that when that time comes, the country may want to intervene.

The series of reactions caused by the intervention will also be considered.

Of course, Lin Feng’s ultimate dream is to make the “Second World Currency” a currency circulating around the world one day in the future. Of course, at present, it is still far from this goal!

"Boss, what if netizens never redeem it? In other words, what should we do if the war doesn't break out as quickly as we thought? The server maintenance costs and broadband costs we bear every day are a lot of money." Wu Zhao

Pu said worriedly.

Originally, "War of the Worlds" was set in the world before the "World War I", but considering that if it were to be set in the "World War I" when it came out, neither the player's computer nor the server would be able to handle such a large-scale game.

In a world war, the computer will crash. Therefore, in the end, Lin Feng proposed to start from the ancient times. When all players enter the game, they enter the Stone Age. Let the players start the game from this era, starting from killing dinosaurs and fighting against nature.

, and then slowly upgrade technology, from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, then to the Iron Age, then to the Firearms Age, then to the Modern Weapons Age, and even to the future Technology Age.

In this long road of upgrade, the "Second World" will also strive to develop computers with better performance and faster optical fiber, and eventually reach a battlefield that can accommodate millions or even tens of millions of people.

This design was certainly correct at the time, but now Lin Feng has decided to adopt a free model, with players exchanging game currency for payment. During the long upgrading process, players may have limited spending, and it cannot make money. How can the company bear this astonishing daily cost?

What about maintenance fees?

Lin Feng didn't care at all about Wu Zhaopu's worries.

"Mr. Wu, this is very simple. Although during this long upgrade process, players do have very little demand for gold coins, but it is not impossible. Because there will still be wars, such as bows, arrows, knives, etc., they also need money.

.Although players usually have one in each hand, knives can be damaged, and bows and arrows are consumables. What's more, ancient wars cover a vast area, and the journey takes a lot of time. In "World City War"

》In the game setting, players need to eat every day, otherwise they will consume physical strength and reduce combat effectiveness. Buying food and grass requires money. Mr. Wu, once a war reaches a large scale, the expenses are huge.

.Although it may not be as much as in the era of hot weapons, it is still not much less." Lin Feng explained.

After Wu Zhaopu heard this, he gave Lin Feng a thumbs up. This charging model is indeed very suitable for "War of the Worlds". However, Wu Zhaopu felt that Lin Feng's ambition was more than that.

"Well, indeed, what I want is more. This time, I think players can try to sell virtual currency directly in the game." Lin Feng said.

What! Allowing players to sell virtual currency directly in the game? This is too much fun! - Wu Zhaopu exclaimed.

"Mr. Wu, why are you so surprised?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Why are you so surprised? Boss, isn't this surprising? Players sell virtual currency directly. What does this mean? It means that real currency can circulate with virtual currency." Wu Zhaopu exclaimed.

Lin Feng shook his finger.

"Mr. Wu, players can sell virtual currency in the game, but it doesn't mean that virtual currency can circulate with real currency. This just makes it easier for players to exchange currency. It also stimulates players' enthusiasm for the game!" Lin Feng chuckled.
