Internet cafe privileges and the popularity of "Heroes" itself.
Promotional pictures of the game "Heroes" appeared outside the windows of Internet cafes everywhere.
And such large-scale publicity and the excellent quality and unique gameplay of the game complement each other, ultimately creating a terrifying communication effect...
When Lin Yao traveled through time in his previous life, Internet cafes had already declined.
Many people may be unfamiliar with this sight.
But she herself is no stranger to it.
When most people in an entire Internet cafe are playing the same game, it has a powerful publicity effect.
Because she herself played a lot of games just because of this.
When online games are not popular.
Mainly playing CS 1.6, I was invited to play by someone from the same Internet cafe.
When I first came into contact with the Internet, the most popular game at that time was Fantasy Westward Journey, and seeing the popularity of the turn-based system, I made a differentiated question.
She saw others playing and went to play herself.
But because Fantasy Westward Journey is a point card system.
She was very poor at the time and it was not convenient to recharge, so she had no choice but to give up...
Then there is dnf.
At that time, she mainly saw the vertical drawing of the awakening skill in this game and thought it was so cool, so she also went to play it.
Her dream at that time was to rise to the next level and awaken.
While playing the game, I once complained that the game’s fatigue system was really sick, and it was all gone in one night.
However, Lin Yao still failed to awaken in the end.
The main reason is that the network environment of the game was really poor at that time, and it would drop out of the game from time to time, and the network connection interruption would pop up directly.
Plus, for a while, the game was a mess.
Plug-ins are everywhere.
Lin Yao remembers that during that time, there was a plug-in that could directly release Sword Soul's skills on the whole screen, and then kill the entire map instantly.
And no one cares about it at all. The whole Internet cafe is full of cheating players.
She didn't like this shortcut, so she gave up.
But dnf’s art is really great.
It was because of this game that she became interested in art.
And then.
The game she plays is cf.
But he is really bad, because he can't experience the fun of other modes, he can only play biochemical, and he can only play one picture of biochemical pyramid...
at last.
It's League of Legends.
The reason is not Dota but League of Legends.
It was because Dota was too difficult. In the beginning, she only knew how to play a Centaur Chieftain, and she only knew how to run and charge...
League of Legends was a bit simpler, and there were too many people playing in Internet cafes at that time.
certainly.
She wasn't very good at this game in the end, she was always silver... After Yasuo came out, she gave up in anger because she couldn't beat Yasuo and found the opponent's back-and-forth annoying, and she didn't know how to play.
After that.
Her Internet cafe days are over.
She started working on her own, and gradually she couldn't play many games, especially online games that required long-term operations.
She started playing single-player games, which didn't take that long.
It was also at that time.
She was exposed to more games.
And her first stand-alone game was the very cheap Left 4 Dead 2.
This has also become one of the most profound stand-alone games in her memory...or a buyout game.
Mainly because the heavy rain and wind level left a deep impression on her.
Heavy rain keeps falling.
Visibility is extremely low, and zombies keep coming.
The atmosphere is created really well.
It was then that she realized that there were not only online games, but also games like this.
but.
Even Lin Yao almost stopped playing online games later.
But she will still pay attention to those online games that she has played.
She knew that CS1.6 had become CSGO, and not many people were willing to play the crude CS1.6 anymore.
She knew that Fantasy Westward Journey had several different planners, and each generation was not as good as the previous one, and each generation was scolded by players.
She knew that the big transfer version of dnf had directly brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire game. All the familiar maps had changed, and the levels were now up to 100.
She knows that Dota has become Dota 2. Although the original Dota maps can still be played on many battle platforms, few people play them anymore.
She also knows that League of Legends has been revised frequently, and that the imitators of Dota, a once crude game, have become one of the most successful online games in the world.
There are really too many changes.
She misses her sometimes.
This is nostalgia at work.
She also knows that if you stick to your status quo in online games, you are waiting for death.
But I still can't help but miss it.
And the reason why she misses it is because she played these games in the past.
Why play.
Or because I saw other people playing in an Internet cafe...
And the current "Hero" is probably going through this stage.
Many people are like Lin Yao.
I saw other people playing "Heroes" in an Internet cafe, so I went to play too.
As for what the future will be like.
I do not know……
as far as I can tell.
The data of "Heroes" continues to improve, and it continues to attract new players.
Even in a very short period of time, it became the online game with the largest number of people online!
The new players among them are not only players who have never been exposed to online games, but many players who play other games will also come to play.
And this is all due to games like "Heroes", which can be played at any time without long-term investment.
In every game, all players are on the same starting line.
The only difference is the player's personal strength.
This has directly changed the landscape of online games.
Because this means that even if you don't invest any time in this game and don't pursue personal strength enhancement, you can play it if you think of it.
You can play it anytime.
"Heroes" is in its third week of early access.
The second week of the launch of the Internet cafe privilege system.
Guang Zheng, the person in charge of the project, reported the good news to Lin Yao every day.
How many people have been online, and how many people have registered.
In the end he himself became numb.
Because the number of online and registered people is increasing every day.
In the end, he simply didn't report it and planned to summarize it for a week before telling Lin Yao.
Lin Yao listened to the data changes for a week.
Also a little numb...
Before her holiday on Friday, she pulled Miss Mu out of Linmu Studio.
"Lin Yao, where are we going?"
Mu Wanqing held Lin Yao's arm, feeling a little strange.
Working hours.
Lin Yao would usually not leave the studio unless something important happened.
Because there are a lot of things going on in the studio.
"Go to the Internet cafe."
Lin Yao turned around, looked at Mu Wanqing, and smiled brightly at her.
Mu Wanqing: "Ah?"
Lin Yao explained: "Guangzheng reported the data for the week, and the increase is indeed exaggerated. I want to see the game with my own eyes."
"Do you think the data may be exaggerated?"
Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment and asked softly.
"no."
Lin Yao shook her head gently: "I'm just a little curious and wanted to miss it by the way."
"Remember...?"
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao, who was smaller than herself and looked like a girl, with a strange expression.
"What are you doing? What are you looking at me doing? Can't you remember me at a young age?"
Lin Yao immediately guessed what the girl with black glasses and glasses next to her was thinking and glared at her.
