. The official website of Dream Entertainment, just a few minutes after it was officially launched, the number of IPs visited immediately exceeded 100,000. Because of the "mysterious game insider", the posts posted on the Nomad Star Sky were widely reprinted and became known to the majority of players.
, pay attention to the official website of Dream Entertainment at any time.
The sudden increase in visits made Shi Lei realize that something was wrong!
If the number of visits continues to increase, not only the web server will be unable to bear it, but even the No. 1 server as the data server will definitely not be able to bear it!
In desperation, Shi Lei could only call Sun Feng again and asked him to continue to allocate three web servers and four data servers.
Shi Lei plans to set up a cluster server and release Server No. 1. After all, Server No. 1 is only a workstation-level server, not even a small enterprise server. It is too reluctant to use it to take on the work of a data server!
Since Sun Feng had something to do and couldn't leave, he directly informed the server seller to deliver the goods to Shi Lei. The server seller seemed extremely enthusiastic when faced with Shi Lei's large order.
In less than an hour, Shi Lei arrived at Green Lake Building with the seven servers he needed.
With the help of the team brought by the server seller, it took almost another hour to complete everything on the server.
Fortunately, Shi Lei has a ready-made cluster system. Originally, Shi Lei's cluster system was a special cluster system written to facilitate the connection between the supercomputer Yan and major major machines, and to maximize the performance of the resources at hand.
At this moment, this special cluster system is used to configure the web server and data server.
The seven servers cost a total of 1.6 million yuan, the web server cost 200,000 yuan, and the data server was slightly more expensive, costing 250,000 yuan.
If an average small business needs a workstation-level server at most, it will cost about a few thousand to ten thousand yuan. A slightly better one will only cost twenty thousand yuan!
But according to the access situation of the official website of Dream Entertainment, Shi Lei had to increase investment in servers. If the official website of Dream Entertainment crashes due to normal access by players, how can players, major media, and even partners believe that
Can Dream Entertainment set up a good game server?
Game servers have much higher requirements for CPU and disk groups than web servers, data servers, and application servers.
If Dream Entertainment can't even handle the server of its official website, how can it set up and operate a game server?
Close the door early!
It is out of this consideration that Shi Lei increased the cost of the server, built a dual cluster server, and adopted a model of separating the web server and the data server to reduce the possibility of the Dream Entertainment official website crashing.
Shi Lei checked the background data of the server. In just over an hour, not even an hour and a half, the number of registered people on the official website of Dream Entertainment had exceeded 100,000.
And this speed is increasing rapidly!
Fortunately, Shi Lei had the foresight to increase the number of servers vigorously. Otherwise, based on the current number of visitors, the official website might have collapsed.
On the forum of the official website, there are a large number of congratulatory posts, report posts, and messy spam posts, which puts great pressure on the data server. If the No. 1 server is still used, the data server will definitely collapse. Fortunately, there are four data servers
, Shi Lei connected to the No. 1 server in batches in a cluster manner, and then transferred the data of the No. 1 server and exited the ranks of the data server.
In the official forum, a post attracted widespread attention.
"Dream Entertainment, you can't discriminate based on region!"
'...I am a Lijian countryman, and I am a cultural aspirant of the Xia Kingdom. Regarding the official senior management of Dream Entertainment, if I use the language of the Xia Kingdom to describe it, I only want to say two words: Damn it!'
'...Why should World of Brave be the first to be closed and tested in Xia Kingdom? Dear Xia Kingdom players, if your reason is that Dream Entertainment Company is a company of Xia Kingdom, then let me tell you a secret. Dream Entertainment Company belongs to Mirui Technology
Co., Ltd.'s wholly-owned subsidiary. Mirui Technology Co., Ltd. is an offshore company registered in the Cayman Islands, which belongs to England. Dear players of Xia Kingdom, do you still want to say that Dream Entertainment is a company of Xia Kingdom?'
‘...If “World of Brave” is only in closed beta testing in Xia Kingdom, we foreign players can still accept it. But why does the application system for invitation codes for closed beta testing of “World of Brave” actually restrict the application of foreign players?'
‘…Strongly protest against Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. You are treating people differently and discriminating by region. Strongly request Dream Entertainment officials to allow foreign players to apply for the invitation code for the closed beta test of “World of Brave”!'
'... Dear foreign players, in view of the regional discrimination policy of Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. and the fact that players from Xia Kingdom once visited the headquarters of Dream Entertainment, I call on our capable foreign players to organize a collective trip to Xia Kingdom and Shuangqing City.
, we also want to visit the headquarters of Dream Entertainment!'
‘…Xia’s laws also allow free assembly, processions and demonstrations. We foreign players must protest against Dream Entertainment!’
‘...I am the Holy Light Priest, a super player of the Li Jian Kingdom. My personal contact information is posted at the bottom. Foreign players who have a common intention to go to the Xia Kingdom, please organize yourself. Let the Dream Entertainment official cancel this regional discrimination!'
The post of Holy Light Priest, the super player of Li Jian Kingdom, actually adopts the bilingual mode of Xia Mandarin and English. This guy is indeed a cultural aspirant of Xia Kingdom, and he can use Xia Mandarin very smoothly.
After his post, a large number of foreign players responded in English, jointly protesting against the regional discrimination policy adopted by the official Dream Entertainment.
However, the players of Xia Kingdom applauded one after another. For a long time, games from Europe and Lijian Kingdom, and even games from Wosang Kingdom, were first launched in their respective regions, and then Xia Kingdom was considered.
Just like the famous WOW, Xia Kingdom is always discriminated against every time, which makes Xia Kingdom players very unhappy!
This time the closed beta test of "World of Brave" finally allowed Xia players to find a little sense of superiority. Xia players and foreign players had a huge quarrel in the post.
When Shi Lei browsed the forum on the official website, he saw this post, and he suddenly smiled bitterly.
The reason why applications for closed beta invitation codes from foreign players are blocked is because Xia Kingdom’s network is closed. These foreign players can now enter Xia Kingdom and log in to the official website of Dream Entertainment, all using proxy IPs.
Although the proxy IP can browse the web, it will be very depressing to actually use the proxy IP to play games. Then there will be various delays, lags, and even disconnections, which will definitely make people collapse!
I remember that before WOW's WLK was opened, there was a funny dialogue in a very classic video.
A certain leader of the Beast Guild: 'Every day I use those disgusting agents, and the copy is disconnected as soon as I try it! And I have to be ostracized by others!'
A mentally retarded member: 'President, you can try another agent!'
The president of a certain calling beast association: 'Reply for your sister!!! All agents are scum!'
When Shi Lei first saw that video, from a hacker's point of view, the proxy IP was still very reliable. But, are ordinary gamers hackers?
Using hacking technology can indeed make the proxy IP very stable, but ordinary players are really powerless. Therefore, Shi Lei added restrictions on filling in personal identity information in the application system for the invitation code for the closed beta test of "World of Brave", which requires Xia Domestic
Only players with local identity certificate, including Baodao identity certificate, can apply for a closed beta invitation code.
Once the results of the final random drawing of the closed beta invitation code come out, the player who obtained the closed beta invitation code needs to provide identification information to obtain the closed beta invitation code.
This directly blocks the application path for foreign players. This has led to the claim that Dream Entertainment officials have regional discrimination!
"World of Brave" is currently only confirmed to be in closed beta testing in mainland Xia and Baodao. It may be closed and tested in eleven countries in Southeast Asia, but Lijian and European countries are not included. At this time, you can use a proxy IP to enter the Xia country network
Most of the foreign players are players who have purchased VPN proxy IPs. These players are basically not short of money.
Otherwise, can they buy a VPN service that costs thousands per year or even more?
These players who are not short of money are constantly making noise on the official forum of Dream Entertainment, demanding that Dream Entertainment give an explanation to foreign players.
If "World of Brave" was only released in Xia Kingdom, Shi Lei would not bother to explain it to them. But Shi Lei's purpose is to promote "World of Brave" to the whole world, and foreign wealthy players are definitely the targets that Dream Entertainment wants to win over.
Seeing that the regional discrimination posts were making more and more noise, Shi Lei immediately updated a new announcement on the server background of the official website.
A new announcement appeared on the homepage of the Dream Entertainment official website.
Announcement on ‘Regional Discrimination’:
In view of the enthusiasm of some foreign players for "World of Brave", Dream Entertainment officially issued the following measures after urgent discussions.
1. Lift the restriction that foreign players cannot apply for "World of Brave" closed beta invitation codes.
2. Foreign players need to submit a separate information form and fill in detailed proof of identity.
3. For foreign players who use proxy IP to access the Xiaguo network and log in to "World of Brave", Dream Entertainment does not guarantee any game effects.
4. Dream Entertainment promises that the identity information of all players will be kept absolutely confidential.
After this announcement was issued, a large number of foreign players immediately praised Dream Entertainment on the official forum, but a new problem arose!
The third section of the Dream Entertainment official website is about the issue of admission tickets to the Dream Entertainment press conference. Due to the restriction on applications from Shuangqing City players, players from other cities in Xia Kingdom started making a fuss like foreign players.
For example, a player from the capital city announced with great wealth that why only players from Shuangqing City can participate? Players from their capital city can take a plane and come directly to Shuangqing City to participate!
Players from all over the country echoed this, which made the players in Shuangqing City very distressed. After all, this was Dream Entertainment, a benefit for their local players, but it was destroyed by those damn tycoons!
Shi Lei rubbed his head and wondered whether he should modify the restrictions on admission tickets to the press conference. If not,
