There is still one hour left until the five test servers are launched.
Lin Yao came to the company early, as did everyone else.
I can't relax today.
The launch time of this new version is really tight. The internal testing time is not long. No one can guarantee that there will be no problems on the first day of launch.
Although Lin Yao confidently said at the beginning that he asked players to test bugs, what happened?
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, it will not help.
"The day has finally arrived, it's been a month."
Zhong Xiu glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and felt a little emotional.
"... Let's get through this week first and then relax and sigh. But after this week, we will probably have to worry about the situation of the new version in all servers. To be honest, it is really torture."
Lin Yao held the mug, blew the mist gently, looked at the slightly rippled water in the cup, and whispered: "I just hope that after this time, we don't have to be so worried anymore."
"Yes, unless we open another project, but this may be a bit far... Well, what about Manager Mu?"
Zhong Xiu looked around and was not surprised that he didn't see Zhu Nianqiao. She went to pour water.
But Mu Wanqing is different. She should not be absent at this time.
Lin Yao sipped her saliva and replied: "She fell asleep in her position. She seemed to be too nervous last night. She didn't sleep all night, and I didn't call her."
"That's it."
Zhong Xiu nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of instant coffee, then looked at the computer screen and suddenly said: "Lin Yao."
"Um?"
"Do you think it's useful?... I'll just give you my opinion. Just forget it if you've heard it. Although you said that if you continue to sell attributes-enhancing props, no matter how much the game is improved, it will be slow suicide, but you have to admit it.
, these heavy Krypton players are really important, they contribute almost half of the revenue. If they really stop playing, it will be really hurt."
Zhong Xiu organized his words: "And you are not willing to back down at all, you are only willing to give back 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, why didn't you mention it in the announcement? To be honest.
Said... I think if you do this, those players who pay money will really stop playing."
"..."
Lin Yao was silent, took a sip of water again, and then whispered back: "I actually discussed this matter with Miss Mu many times. She was also very opposed to me doing this at the time, and even proposed to give these heavy krypton players
Some attribute compensation... Of course I don't agree, because then my gameplay will have no meaning. In the early stage of an online game, you must at least be relatively fair. If you just let the attributes expand before the player base is formed, then
You can only make a quick buck, and the game won’t be running for a long time.”
"And this quick money is insignificant compared to the benefits brought by long-term operations."
Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment: "That's why you..."
"Yes, you can't compensate for attributes, so you can only compensate for appearance. What do players spend money on in this kind of turn-based online game? Pretending? Being different? Maybe they are all, then they will not be sold to the outside world, and they will be specially customized by the official
, the mount that comes as a gift when the server is launched is a good choice.”
"Then why don't you write the announcement?"
Lin Yao pointed to the computer screen: "Look at the slogan of our new version."
"Free games, green online games?"
"Yes, the slogans have been put out, but we are still trying to please local wealthy players openly and openly. It doesn't look good or sound good. I want to lose face."
Lin Yao let go of the mug with her left hand, lightly scratched her face, and smiled sheepishly: "Besides, you also saw the public opinion yesterday. If you add the matter of compensation, you might be ridiculed again."
It’s so obvious, and ordinary players will also have a preconceived idea and form a bad impression.”
"...Have you considered this?"
Zhong Xiu was slightly startled.
Lin Yao nodded, then hesitated for a while, and said: "Of course, there is another reason. In fact, this reward is not very valuable to be honest, and it is not even unique. After all, as long as you top up a certain amount, you can get it.
When it comes to mounts, those wealthy players who saw the announcement and simply said to compensate for a mount might not take it seriously in their anger."
"But after a night of calming down, the new version is online today. They have invested so much money, and most of them will choose to go up and take a look. No matter what happens, they still want to see what the game looks like. And as soon as it goes online, they will be rewarded with a mount. This
It should be a surprise, right? From 'Oh shit, there's nothing' to 'I even got a mount as compensation'. The change in their mood during this period should make them feel better."
"Then in this mood, when I see the recharged gold coins converted from the mall page, they should give us a chance to play the game, right? Anyway, those gold coins can be used to re-enhance your character. It's useless if you don't play with the gold coins.
It’s useless if you don’t use it anymore... Most players are still unwilling to give up these things. This is the so-called sunk cost.”
"..."
Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao in shock.
He didn't know what to say.
Although I don’t know what the final effect will be.
But the young-looking planner in front of me really thinks too much.
It's enough to make people admire.
He couldn't do it anyway.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yao asked after noticing Zhong Xiu who was in a daze and yawning cutely.
Got up too early.
sleepy.
The cat hasn't even gotten up yet.
She got up.
"Nothing, I just want to know how this game will turn out in the end."
Zhong Xiu looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen again, suddenly looking 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 a sip of hot water again and whispered: "Do your best and obey fate."
Zhong Xiu was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"That's right."
Outside the window, a wisp of morning breeze picked up the fallen leaves on the ground and swirled them in the air.
Then, an invisible wind blew into the room, blowing over Mu Wanqing who was lying on the table with her coat on, and gently lifted her hair at the temples.
The service opening time is coming soon.
…
Eight o'clock.
Five test servers, officially launched.
Eight forty.
Peng Qiang finished his breakfast, opened the curtains, and looked at the fallen leaves that were blown and swirling in the air, silent.
Another boring day...
Ding--
Suddenly, a clear prompt sounded from behind.
Peng Qiang looked back at the computer and cursed: "Blank!"
He made up his mind not to play that rubbish game last night.
When I got angry, I even uninstalled the game.
But when he got up today and had breakfast, he felt that he was too arbitrary yesterday...
After all, after charging so much money, wouldn’t it be in vain if you don’t play? Aren’t the returned gold coins useless?
This is a blood loss.
So he thought about it carefully.
I downloaded the game and came back.
He was just waiting for the game to be downloaded.
"I want to see what your game looks like!"
Peng Qiang returned to the computer, pulled out his chair and sat down, opened the client angrily, then quickly entered his account password like a pianist, and clicked to log in.
Then, I didn't go up.
Prompt to check the user agreement.
Peng Qiang didn't pay much attention, he clicked the check mark casually, and then clicked to enter the game.
The character selection page immediately popped up.
Watch the characters appear on the screen.
Peng Qiang was stunned.
He noticed at a glance that the weapon modeling had been changed.
His character level is very high, level 100, which is the highest level in the previous version.
His weapon is also a level 100 sword, and the model originally looked okay.
But compared to the new weapons, it's like nothing.
Now the weapon not only has a light effect, but also has something like a blade glowing on the blade, which looks very handsome.
"...Is this the only thing that needs to be changed?"
Peng Qiang reacted and disagreed.
If you just change the weapon special effects and want him to play again, then you would be underestimating him.
He came here just to take a look, and then went to the forum to spray it.
He sneered and clicked directly to enter the game.
Extremely short to load.
The screen changes.
Peng Qiang is about to control the character.
A gorgeous window popped out.
There are auspicious clouds on both sides, a gold-plated round frame in the middle, and a pile of gold coins in the middle of the round frame.
[Your attributes have changed]
[Congratulations on getting 510933 gold coins]
Peng Qiang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously clicked to confirm.
The idea of not playing in my mind wavered slightly.
Then wait for him to control the character.
A second gorgeous window popped out again.
[Congratulations on getting the special item - the Deer in the Clouds]
What the hell?
Peng Qiang was stunned again, and subconsciously nodded to confirm again.
Then continue.
This is the lottery interface.
Peng Qiang realized that he had no intention of watching the lottery.
He closed the page directly and quickly opened his backpack.
What looks like a gem lies quietly in the corner grid.
He moved the mouse and looked at the items.
【Deer in the Cloud】
[It is said that only those who are destined to be recognized are the purest spirits in the world. Their whole body is pure white without a trace of color. Immortal energy surges around them, which can nourish all living things. 】
[Single-player mount, not for sale, only rewards those who have made indelible contributions to the game in the early stage of the game. Players above level 70 can redeem the mount at the mount vanguard in Lin'an City (562,222), number: 006, bound to the player
:Dragon of Cangshan, cannot be traded, cannot be discarded】
"I'll blanch it."
After reading the explanation, Peng Qiang was a little surprised and curious at the same time. He flew directly to the mount vanguard and clicked to redeem.
Ding--
The gorgeous window popped out again.
This time it is a mount, shaped like an elk, but with extremely long antlers, and exuding a fairy-like particle effect. As the description says, there is really no trace of color in the whole body, and it looks particularly fairy-like.
"...Mount?"
Peng Qiang fumbled to find the riding button and clicked it.
The deer in the clouds immediately reached his crotch.
at the same time.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to player Cangyun Dragon for obtaining the special mount ‘Deer in the Cloud’, number 006]
As soon as the news came out.
The World Channel immediately became lively.
"Damn it, here we go again! Another rich man!"
"Isn't this Brother Cangshan?"
"The sixth head has appeared. Is there more?"
"Boss, please cover me!"
"Thighs please!"
“Nose-picking emoji.”
Peng Qiang looked at the information that was jumping quickly on the left, and then he looked away from his mount and noticed the revised channel system.
He looked at the World Channel information that kept popping up, and after a little fumbling, he figured out what it was.
After all, the logic of the revised channel system is very simple.
He thought for a while, then tapped the keyboard to send a message to the world.
"Old fellows, what is the Deer in the Cloud? Can anyone explain it to me?"
As soon as he sent this message.
There was an immediate response.
"I heard that only players who have deposited a certain amount of money before will get a gift! And each end has a number! Rich man, please cover me!"
"It's the sixth one. I don't know how many wealthy people have gotten this mount. I want it too..."
"It's not for sale, you mastermind! It's really yours."
"Rich tycoon, do you want to form a team to kill the Ten-Star Tiangang?"
“Nose-picking emoji.”
"..."
Various messages are rolling in.
Peng Qiang looked at the wealthy people on the World Channel, then looked at his own character and the Deer in the Cloud under his crotch.
