Nearly seventy-two hours after the server was suddenly shut down, an announcement appeared on DreamWorks' official website.
Its content is as follows
[Dear players, as you can see, in the finals of Summit Season 2 that ended in the early morning of November 19th, the plot of the v1.10 version of "Derived Invasion" has come to an end.
Due to the unexpected changes of several world-class bosses in cross-version events, the plot of the new version of "Twilight of the Gods" was seriously affected.
Over the past seventy hours, our technical staff and script editors have worked overtime to deal with this incident and have made corresponding adjustments.
Here, we are pleased to inform all players: the server of Thriller Park will reopen on December 1st. At that time, Thriller Park will skip the v1.20 version of Ragnarok and directly upgrade to the v1.50 final version of Unlimited
World. Please stay tuned!】
The time when this announcement was released was about the time when the patience of thousands of players and various studios reached the critical point...
Just as rumors began to appear on the Internet and in various media, such as "Thriller Park's server crashed and is facing major repairs" and "Dream Corporation is going to pack up and leave?", this announcement turned out to make those who rely on
Those who fabricate fake news and write soft advertising articles for a living have once again been caught in a collective trap.
There are many "media companies" that specialize in this industry, and they have even prepared a series of subsequent articles to discredit Dream Company. Next, we only need to talk to a few online game companies that are interested, and then share the information of those companies.
Once a soft advertisement is inserted into an article, the money is earned. However, with the bombshell dropped by Dream Company, everyone's busy work these two days has been in vain.
…………
On the other hand, the players' reaction to this news... is also conceivable.
In the middle of the night, the discussion trend in major forums shifted from the topic of "Aviator S2" to the new version of "Infinite World".
Although there is still more than a week until the server launches, players are already eager to try it and can’t wait.
The number of registrations for Thriller Park has experienced another significant increase, and the sales of game cabins have also reached new highs.
During the period before the new patch was officially announced, various "uncle parties" also came out one after another to show their abilities... They all took advantage of this period to spread unfounded gossip. Everyone had something to say.
The chiseling is a real thing.
Generally speaking, there are two types of "uncle party"... The first type is those who have a game mentality or want to gain a sense of presence. Most of them just talk nonsense according to their own desires.
As for the second type...of course they are hired guns. These uncles are often more professional than the first type, and their level of writing and lying is not outstanding; the most commonly used method is to cite a series of parallel
Non-existent details, or adding a few false pictures that ordinary people may not understand in the post to increase the credibility of the news... can be said to be well-intentioned. Of course, the fundamental purpose is to expose false news
Mix some "information they want to convey" into it to promote sales of certain products.
For example... if you are selling game currency on a third-party platform, you should hire such a person. Go to the forum to lead a wave of rhythm and ask him to hint in the post that "the game currency is about to appreciate significantly in the new version."
". Another example... you are selling game peripherals, you can put out false news, saying, "The new version of Thriller Paradise will support a certain model of peripherals, and you will get a mysterious prize if you purchase it."
Marketing methods like this have become commonplace nowadays... Those who are fooled should just spend money to learn a lesson, so that they will remember it better next time.
…………
Another twenty-four hours passed.
Finally, Dream Company listed the patches for the new version on the homepage of the official website:
v1.50
【Version Overview】
The fighting demon appears in the world, but the demon head disappears.
The God of Eternal Life. The Hidden Form of the Mirror Realm.
The Spirit King ascended the throne, and the Corpse God assisted him.
The court changes hands, but the truth remains.
After Ragnarok, the four pillar gods fell one after another.
Four new forces quickly emerged from the ruins of the old dynasty.
And powerful people from various parties such as O-gin, Z organization, Phantom Church, Reasoning Club, and Blackbeard Pirate Group are also active in the main universe.
Thriller Paradise ushered in a new era of freedom and infinite possibilities.
【Character adjustment】
In the new version, the upper limit of player level will be adjusted to level 60. The upgrade experience ratio above level 50 will no longer increase.
The upper limit of the player's skill bar will be adjusted to fifteen grids, and the expanded three grids must be purchased through game currency.
【Mode adjustment】
The single-player survival mode and team survival mode (including normal and nightmare) generated in the sleep server will have a higher probability of long-term scenarios.
The "negative game judgment" mechanism in the killing game will become more stringent, and the punishment for passive players will be increased again.
[Changes in items, goods and services]
The mall space has been fully upgraded and rebuilt.
After the invasion of the derivatives, the store owners and the system's guard robots underwent special training, and their strength improved.
All shops have received a large amount of new goods, including new equipment, weapons, hairstyles, clothing, etc.
The Scare Box has a new "pre-purchase function". Players can apply for "automatic transaction after meeting the purchase conditions" for an item by mortgaging skill points.
【Gameplay Adjustment】
The game image quality has been greatly improved.
The title system will add a self-selection function. Each time the title changes, players can choose whether to accept the title after observing the new title's abilities and gain an "old title option."
Note: After the end of this update, all players will be able to obtain the right to choose an old title once (the retention period of this permission is 24 hours after the player logs in to the game for the first time), and make a choice among all the titles they have owned in the past.

In the above content, many keywords have hyperlinks, and you can see relevant information by clicking on them.
For example, words such as "fighting demon", "god of immortality", "spiritual king", "o day gin", "z organization" can all be expanded and viewed.
However, all these NPCs, derivatives or organizations have no image data. Some are just written records; moreover, the recorded contents are mostly well-known basic settings. For players who have access to deeper game content
, this information is meaningless, but it is a good popular science for novices.
As for the "increased level cap", most players have expected it. In fact, 99% of people thought that the upgrade experience after level 50 would increase to nine figures based on the previous trend... Therefore, when they look at
When it came to the sentence "The upgrade experience ratio will no longer increase", I was a little surprised.
In addition, there is another change that many people have guessed in advance, which is the "skill bar expansion".
Indeed, judging from the current development momentum of the game, the twelve skill columns can no longer meet the needs of high-end players, and the expansion is also very reasonable. As for the price... Just like expanding the luggage, this kind of skill can be purchased immediately with "money"
The advantages obtained are definitely not cheap... With this change alone, Dream Company can make a lot of money.
Next, let’s take a look at the “pre-order function” of the scare box, a new service launched in this patch.
This function, to put it simply, was developed for those players who "have their eyes on a certain piece of equipment that is about to expire, but do not have enough skill points at the moment."
For example, let's say...a player is interested in a piece of equipment in the scare box that requires 1,000 skill points to buy, but he only has 500 skill points on hand at the moment. He cannot buy it. Moreover, the item needs to be purchased in less than a day.
Deleted. It is probably too late to accumulate 500 skill points in the remaining day.
At this time, he can use the "pre-purchase function" and first pay a deposit equal to 40% of the total price of the item...that is, 400 skill points...to let the system extend the existence time limit of the item.
Of course, if the item is purchased by someone else with full payment before the deletion time limit, there is nothing you can do. Anyway, the deposit will be fully refunded by then.
And if the item has not been bought by anyone within the deletion time limit, then...as an item that has been "pre-ordered", it will not be deleted immediately, and the system will place it in a specific "pre-order area"
", waiting for the "pre-order players" to collect the full payment; at this time, only players who have paid the pre-order deposit for the item can search for the item.
Then, within the next seventy-two hours, as long as one of the pre-orderers has a skill level that meets the requirements for full payment, the transaction will be automatically completed. When the transaction is completed, the system will send an email to other payers.
For players who have overpaid the deposit, explain that "the product you pre-ordered has already been purchased by someone else", and return the deposited skill value together with the email.
However, if within those seventy-two hours, all players who have pre-ordered the item fail to collect the full payment, the item will be deleted, and each pre-order will be deducted a late payment fee equal to 5% of the item price.
.
The above is the general setting of the pre-order function.
In the past few months, Dream Company has received a lot of opinions in this regard when collecting player opinions... Many players said that sometimes they find a piece of equipment they want in the scare box, but they can just
I almost couldn't afford to buy a few skill points; when I finished writing the script and collected enough skill points, I found that the item had been bought or deleted because the retention time limit had expired... This experience was undoubtedly quite depressing.
.
Although DreamCorp appears to be very overbearing in many aspects, it is still happy to improve issues that can improve the game experience and have room for improvement.
So, with this version upgrade, they developed this new feature (similar to this kind of minor service-type repairs and modifications that have little to do with the script space, Woody is not responsible for it, but the technical department of the game company.
doing).
In the future, if players come across products that they want very much, but the skill points are still a little short of before they can be purchased, they can pre-purchase them first, so that they don’t have to wait for the entire script to be completed before coming back to pay... Anyway, as long as you pay the deposit, you can enjoy "
Skills are worth a lot of automated trading” services.
So, finally, what I have to talk about...is the adjustment of the "title system".
In fact, this system has not made any major changes. It is still up to the system to determine what new titles players will generate. However, players have the right to choose independently this time, and they can choose not to accept new titles, and... every
When the title is changed, you can choose any one of the titles you have obtained in the past and change it. This gives players the opportunity to "transform" and will also have a considerable impact on the PVP of future games.
Obviously, this change was also made based on user feedback...
Many players have asked customer service to retrieve the old titles that have been replaced, because the new titles are not as useful as the old ones.
This type of player...mostly had a certain title ability that they were very good at, and their skills and equipment were all based on that ability. As a result...one day the title suddenly changed, and the entire character's
The combat power dropped directly by a notch.
In a situation like this, they can only admit that they are unlucky, because the title cannot be changed, and it cannot be changed according to their own wishes.
Now, this problem can be considered solved...
…………
November 23, two o'clock in the morning.
DreamCorp always seems to have a way of pulling people's attention back when it's about to drift away, even in these days of server shutdown... it's no exception.
Just one day after the new version patch was released, Dream Company issued two announcements on the official website.
The first one has nothing to do with most players. [From 3:00 pm today, the servers of Thriller Park will be partially opened and the trial operation of the new version will begin. At that time, all players who have the "forty-eight hours of new version experience qualifications" will be able to
Log in to the game.]
There are only 250 so-called "qualified players" in the entire server, that is, the top 50 teams in the S2 preliminaries. So... this news has nothing to do with most people.
In addition, the details of this announcement also stated: During the limited-time trial period, the game will only open queues for single-player survival mode and free exploration mode.
This is also expected. There are only so many people online in the whole server. If you start a team mode or a killing game, when you play solo... you will either meet an acquaintance or you will not be able to match your teammates or opponents for a long time.
Also, this event has an expiration date. At 9 pm on November 29th, the server will be shut down again. Anyone who has not used up the 48 hours by that point will have wasted it.
Let’s look at the second announcement [Crazy Thinking will begin official operations on November 25th]
Regarding this news, the reaction of players was not bad...but the people working in the gaming industry were caught off guard.
No one expected... this card game independently developed by Dream Company, which had been delayed for a long time, would be suddenly launched just when the new version of this horror park is about to open. (To be continued.
