Chapter 635 The Pearl Harbor Incident in the Game
The opening of the "Elite Server" of "The Strongest on Earth" is a big event in the global online game industry. After all, this is the first truly global interconnection in online games. Asia's China, Japan, South Korea,
Players from countries such as Singapore, Poland, Germany, France and other countries in Europe, the United States, Canada and other countries in North America, and more than 50 countries gather to play on the same server, which is absolutely unprecedented.
Although previous "Second World" games such as "Counter-Strike Online" and "Audition" have allowed players from all over Asia to log in to the same server, and allowed players from different countries to play on the same server, first of all these games
None of these games are strictly large-scale online role-playing games. As for online games in different countries, only a few players (from a few to more than a dozen) play on the same server, which is far from the "Most Powerful Online Role-playing Game on Earth".
Comparable to "Strong" "Elite Server".
What's more, the "Elite Server" has also launched a camp system, which divides six camps according to the different nationalities of players, and they can attack each other and plunder the city resources of other camps. This is the first time in the history of online games. This is the first time in the online game industry
The grand occasion not only makes players look forward to it, but also makes the media look forward to it.
At 9 a.m. on January 2, 2003, the "Elite Server" of "The Strongest on Earth" was officially opened. Almost the top 500,000 players logged in, which made the last 200,000 players extremely depressed. They originally wanted to go up.
Experience the grand occasion of the "Elite Server", but unexpectedly there is no chance at all. Occasionally, a few fill-in players log in, but they are quickly squeezed out by the "mainly selected" players, which makes them even more depressed. This also makes these 200,000 alternate players swear
You must successfully reach the top 500,000 in the "Elite Challenge" next week and qualify for the "main selection".
"Boss! The first 500,000 elite players have all come online, and the camp system has been officially opened. The data is all normal. Players from Asia, Europe, and North America are logging in normally, without any abnormalities." Wu Zhaopu reported to Lin Feng excitedly.
This time the "Elite Server" is opened, the "Second World" Korean branch, Japanese branch, Taiwan branch, European branch, and American branch have been prepared for a long time, and have used supercomputers to simulate many times, but the simulation is after all
Simulation, only when it is actually put into operation, can we truly test whether the entire system can operate normally. Now that everything is working normally, it is natural to be happy.
Lin Feng nodded.
At this time, in major Internet cafes across the country, the computers of players who were lucky enough to be qualified to enter the "Elite Server" were naturally crowded with people. Many players who were not qualified to enter the "Elite Server" could only have fun and see what was going on in the "Elite Server".
What is the situation.
"Tears of Desire" is a fan of fighting games. This time the "Elite Challenge" global ranking is not high, barely entering the top 400,000, but it is enough for him to experience the "Elite Server" for the first time.
Qualifications. Amidst the envious discussions about the "Elite Server" behind the scenes, as soon as the "Elite Server" was opened, I logged in as soon as possible.
What is different from the ordinary server of "The Strongest on Earth" is that after entering the "Elite Server", you will be in an extremely huge city, and it is almost filled with people. When you click on the map, you will find that the city map is much larger than everyone imagined.
"The Strongest on Earth" is a 2D scroll-style side-scrolling fighting online game. The city map of "China Camp" is a 25x25 square and can accommodate up to 300,000-400,000 players online.
And the biggest difference between ordinary servers and "elite servers" is that in ordinary servers, the 108 main NPC characters are randomly distributed in every corner of the entire game, and will change their positions as the game progresses. But in the "elite servers"
"Among them, 108 NPC characters are equally divided among the six camps, with 18 NPC characters in each camp. Players who want to learn their skills must complete their related tasks. As for those who want to learn the skills of NPC characters that are not available in this city,
, there is only one way - urban warfare.
Through the collective vote of players in the same camp, more than half can launch a "city war" to plunder NPC characters in other cities. At the same time, they can also obtain huge amounts of city funds from the other side to help the development of their own city and allow players in this city to obtain more.
Many resources.
"Boss, when do you think the 'City War' will happen? I guess the first wave of 'City War' will happen within three days." Wu Zhaopu said with a smile while looking at the game data displayed on the screen.
"Haha, Mr. Wu, I'm afraid you are still too conservative. I guess a 'city war' will happen today." Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.
"A 'city war' will happen today?" Wu Zhaopu didn't believe it. After all, the "elite server" had just been opened. Players should first familiarize themselves with the environment, then develop their own city defenses to resist attacks by players from other countries, and then as the game progresses,
Only when the corresponding tasks are opened (in the "Elite Server", most tasks require "merit points", and "merit points" can only be obtained by PKing players from the enemy camp) will the "city war" system be slowly opened. Let's start the "city war" today.
, it’s really a bit incredible.
Lin Feng nodded heavily. There will definitely be a "city war" today, and the first to launch the "city war" will definitely be the Chinese players, and the ones who will make the most profits today will definitely be the Chinese players.
"Why? Boss, why are you so sure that Chinese players must be the first to launch the 'city war', and not other countries? Also, although Chinese players have the most players, in terms of ranking, Japanese players have the highest average ranking. Why are Chinese players
It must be the most profitable?" Although Wu Zhaopu is also Chinese and hopes that Chinese players will win in the "city war", he doesn't understand why Lin Feng is so sure.
"Mr. Wu, I wonder if you have noticed that there is an 'Elite Server' forum for "The Strongest on Earth" in China. Most of them are the most popular players of "The Strongest on Earth" in the country, and there are also many studios in it."
Lin Feng opened a website on his computer.
Wu Zhaopu clicked in and browsed around. Most of them were discussions about "Elite Servers", and the most popular one was "City Warfare". Many players have called for the early development of "City Warfare" so that players around the world can see the power of Chinese players.
Although the forums are full of posts clamoring to give players from other countries around the world a show of strength, there is no evidence to prove that Chinese players will launch a "city war" on the first day.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Mr. Wu, don't forget, if you want to make money through "The Strongest on Earth", you must enter the 'Elite Server'. I believe that among the 250,000 Chinese players (only 180,000 ranked before 500,000), the studio
There must be a lot of players, and if you want to earn the maximum profit through the "Strongest on Earth" game, the most important thing is to start. Only by establishing a huge advantage at the beginning can you reap huge profits in subsequent games." Lin Feng slowly said
Explained, saying: "Only by launching a 'city war' on the first day, capturing as many NPC characters as possible and the funds of the opponent's city, so that the 'Chinese camp' has an advantage, other national camps will purchase equipment from Chinese studios.
Use money to upgrade your skills and enhance your strength."
After Wu Zhaopu heard this, although he strongly agreed with Lin Feng's statement, he did not believe that Chinese players would really launch a "city war" on the first day. The first country to launch a "city war" would be the most likely to become the target of public criticism.
In Lin Feng's "wait and see" eyes, the day passed quickly. At 6:30 pm Beijing time, Chinese players launched an "urban war" and attacked the "North American camp", which only had 50,000 people (
Among them, there are only 40,000 in the top 500,000) "Elite Server" qualified cities. ("City War", as long as a certain camp submits a "City War" request to the system, it can attack the opponent's city in three hours)
In 2003, at 9:30 pm on January 2, 250,000 Chinese players attacked the city of the "North American camp". At this time, at around 9:30 am in North America, there were only more than 10,000 online players.
A sneak attack on 180,000 Chinese players resulted in a rout, and half of the "city" resources (NPC characters and money) were robbed.
At this time, the Japanese camp also took the opportunity to sneak attack on the cities of the "European and American camp" and "Asia camp". Japan's 160,000 players successfully attacked the "European and American camp" with less than 20,000 people online and the "Asia camp" with only 10,000 people online.
Camp" and successfully plundered several resources from the two camps.
Just when Japanese players were in high spirits, an accident happened. Chinese players and Korean players simultaneously attacked players in the Japanese camp, ambushed Japanese players on their way back home, and caught Japanese players "off guard." They became the "pearls" of the online game industry.
"Hong Kong Incident" destroyed countless Japanese players' equipment and "declared war" on the Japanese camp. At 2:30 a.m. on February 3rd, Beijing time, Chinese players and Korean players jointly attacked the "Japanese camp" city and destroyed the Japanese camp.
The NPC that the player robbed came over.
After a great battle, at six o'clock in the morning on February 3rd, Beijing time, the first "city war" officially came to an end. At this time, the Chinese camp had 41 NPC characters, the Korean camp had 27 NPC characters, and the "Japanese camp"
It has 16 NPC characters, the "Asian camp" has 6 NPC characters, the "European camp" has 9 NPC characters, and the "North American camp" has 9 NPC characters.
Chinese players became the biggest winners. Faced with this disastrous defeat, players from other camps were indignant and began to prepare intensively for revenge. Media from various countries who paid attention to "The Strongest on Earth" jumped out to complain about their players.
Especially the Japanese media were trembling with anger. Originally, Japanese players were supposed to be the biggest winners, but in the end they were jointly attacked by Chinese and Korean players. Not only did all the NPC characters they obtained were given away, but their own city was also invaded.
Chapter completed!
