No matter what Li Guangsheng or his colleagues think.
no doubt.
"World of Warcraft" is off to a good start.
Had a very good start.
Then, after a good start.
This game did not stop there, but contrary to common sense, it began to advance all the way!
Not only did the number of subsequent online users not drop, but it actually grew higher and higher.
And when a game becomes popular, and you want to know how popular it is, at this point in time, in addition to looking at the data, there are actually several practical ways to judge.
The first one, of course, is to go to an Internet cafe.
This place is not yet like Lin Yao’s previous life, the game has completed cross-border, and players can see the shadow of the game in all walks of life.
In addition, although the Internet cafe industry here is also in the sunset, at least it is still doing well.
Thanks to the popularity of games such as "Breakout", many players with computers sometimes go to Internet cafes to play together.
This makes going to an Internet cafe one of the most intuitive ways to judge how popular an online game is.
Just go and see how many people are playing.
And "World of Warcraft" is undoubtedly a phenomenon! Players who often go to Internet cafes feel this very deeply.
Linmu Studio announced a series of numbers, but many players may have no idea.
After all, it's not a single server.
But when you go to an Internet cafe, you can see the game screen of "World of Warcraft" just a few steps away. What's even more outrageous is that 80% of the players in the entire Internet cafe are playing "World of Warcraft".
even.
After the public beta of the game, if you want to play "World of Warcraft" with friends in an Internet cafe, you have to grab a machine in advance. If you go late, you won't be able to grab one.
The concept of game popularity came out all of a sudden.
Whether you are a large-scale Internet cafe chain or an individual Internet cafe owner, you feel this even more deeply.
Internet cafes in prosperous areas have seen customer traffic triple during this period.
These guests are all here for a game, and of course they feel deeply
In fact.
No joke.
Many Internet cafe owners want to erect a monument to Lin Yao...such as Shi Jian.
He is an Internet cafe owner.
But it's a pity.
He opened an Internet cafe, but he didn't choose the right time.
At that time, Linmu Studio was fully switching to stand-alone games, and all its own hardware products and consoles were released.
Therefore, other Internet cafes are just on the decline, at least they have experienced their most glorious times.
But he has never even experienced glory, and he just watches his family's Internet cafe business decline day by day...
Every day when I open my eyes, I see the rent and electricity bills.
Hundreds of hairs were lost every day. He almost couldn't hold on anymore.
If Linmu Studio hadn't announced "World of Warcraft".
At the beginning, he was actually still dubious about this game.
Even though my peers say it’s okay.
But after all, he has never experienced the glorious moment when Linmu Studio was making online games, so he has always been skeptical that one game can drive the entire Internet cafe business.
Even though most of the players who came to his Internet cafe at that time were playing old online games from Lin Mu Studio.
But for an old guy who has disappeared in the field of online games for so long, the new online game is not the FPS they are best at, but an MMORPG that has never been done before. How powerful can it be?
Shi Jian is also considered a gamer. There are very few people in Internet cafes who don’t play games.
And it’s not like there are no MMORPGs on the market, there are a lot of them under Tianhu.
Is it really possible? He was very doubtful at the time.
And the facts tell him...
It really works!!!
In the past few days, the "World of Warcraft" characters he created have not been able to leave the Novice Village.
Because he is too busy and has too many customers!
The Internet cafe is full almost every day.
His Internet cafe location is considered very marginal.
But even so, there is still a steady stream of players coming over, and even after it is full, there are still people coming over, asking if they want to know where they are...
In the past few days, Shi Jian stood up and sat down at the front desk. He had no time to play games.
"Boss, are you smart? There are four of you."
Such as this meeting.
Four young men suddenly opened the door and walked in, and then said this to their faces.
"Well...the fastest machine has a three-hour wait."
Shi Jian stood up from his seat, then checked the background and replied.
When the young man heard this, he was instantly shocked: "Damn it! Isn't it? There isn't one here either? I've already gone to three...Boss, wasn't your Internet cafe going bankrupt last week? There were only a few Internet cafes at that time.
The machine was on, and you were just swatting flies out of boredom, why are there so many people here!"
And this time.
Shi Jian then discovered that the customer was a regular customer, and he had some impressions.
He smiled and asked, "What are you here to play?"
"World of Warcraft! I just said I wanted to try the new copy with my friends!" the leading young man replied.
"That's it! Most people online are like you and want to download the dungeon together, so it's full!"
Shi Jian glared at the other party, and then said: "And can you speak! Why is it going bankrupt! Crow's mouth! My Internet cafe is obviously booming!"
"wipe!"
The young man in the lead cursed, then discussed with his friends behind him for a while, ignored the boss, and turned away, seemingly planning to go further to find an Internet cafe.
Shi Jian saw the other party walking away, but he didn't feel it was a pity, because he was told to wait for three hours, but in the past few days, players who came to the Internet cafe would add extra time.
Even if the other party is willing to wait, they may not really have a chance.
He just felt a little emotional, Linmu Studio is really a savior...
…
Shi Jian sat down again, and after a while, he received several more waves of people.
Then, after a while of silence, Shi Jian saw that no one was disturbing him for more than half an hour, so he turned his attention to the World of Warcraft shortcut on the screen, and finally couldn't help it anymore.
What is the magic of "World of Warcraft"? So many people are following it.
With this idea in mind, he clicked on the game, and then opened the account he had created for a long time, but had not left the Novice Village yet.
Started my own journey of World of Warcraft.
"Fuck..."
And soon.
There was a low cry from the front desk...
at the same time.
There are many Internet cafe managers who feel the same way as Shi Jian.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Linmu Studio made its fortune by making online games, which brought a wave of online game craze, and then drove the business of Internet cafes on a large scale.
Later, several online games were launched.
Not a single miss.
Every time, it drives the entire industry.
It can be said that most of the money earned by Internet cafe owners now is attributed to Lin Yao and Lin Mu Studio.
But it's a pity.
Subsequently, Linmu Studio suspended online games and went to work on stand-alone games.
There are essential differences between stand-alone games and online games in Internet cafes.
Buyout model.
Make players more willing to play on their own computers and pay more attention to privacy.
So this grand occasion soon disappeared.
To make matters worse, as old online games from Linmu Studio such as "Breakout" have gradually matured, players have become more familiar with the games, and hacking software has become more complete. Even those players who used to go to Internet cafes for these online games have decreased a lot.
This makes many Internet cafe owners worried about their future.
Fortunately, Linmu Studio is back this time
The true return of the king.
It's like everything is back to before...
Their long-lost online game not only did not disappoint the players, it also did not disappoint the bosses.
New games and highly social gameplay have once again brought players into Internet cafes.
It also gave these bosses a taste of honey again. So
by.
Please! Keep doing it! Keep doing online games!
After many bosses regain their glory, they only have this idea left. They really just need to erect a monument and put their hands together to pray...
no way.
Now for them, Lin Mu Studio...is indeed a little better than the God of Wealth.
…
Internet cafes are one aspect.
But in fact, Internet cafes are not the only ones affected by World of Warcraft.
This game is so popular...
Besides going to Internet cafes.
To judge how popular a game is, you can also go to major universities.
In terms of time, college students do have more time than social animals, and because they live together, communication is more convenient and it is easier to find people with similar interests.
At the same time, they also represent the trend to a certain extent.
Therefore, as long as a certain game can become a topic of conversation for most of them, then this game must be very popular.
And "World of Warcraft".
It can be said to be the hottest topic in major universities these days...
In almost every college, whenever games are discussed among classmates, "World of Warcraft" cannot be avoided.
And what they talk about most every day is who has cleared the dungeon and who has gotten good equipment.
"Yesterday, we cleared Gnomeregan together in our dormitory. I plan to try the Bloody Hall later."
"Dirty? Real or fake? Passed?"
"Of course it is. This dungeon is really interesting. It's worth traveling all the way from Stormwind City to Ironforge to pick up the quest."
"Yes, this dungeon is actually in a mechanical style. The technology of the magical world is a hundred years ahead of reality. It is worthy of being the development company of "The Witch". It has a steampunk flavor."
"We were in a small team at that time, and it was the gods who were blocking the gods and the Buddhas who were blocking the Buddhas..."
"Don't brag. I was watching from the side. Damn, the whole team jumped off the high platform with the sand sculpture, and they all fell to death. Then they were beaten to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers at the BOSS. You guys have mentioned this.
You don’t want to mention it, right? You’re trying to stop the God of Killing! From such a high platform, everyone knows that they will fall to their death, but you still have to jump.”
"Who are you?"
"I'm the dad in the dormitory next to you!"
"Stop arguing! I'm not level enough now, but I will be enough soon. I want to ask, what will this dungeon drop? Is it difficult to beat?"
"I got the leg of an electric torture device. Whether it's difficult to hit depends on the technique..."
A certain university classroom, public class.
A group of older boys were sitting in the back seat, discussing games in low voices.
beside.
Li Yan poked his head curiously and glanced at them from a distance, realizing that they were not just discussing.
He even started writing and drawing on paper, seeming to be discussing how to type the dungeon the fastest.
The atmosphere of the discussion is getting more and more lively.
soon.
Their paper was filled with drawings of the route forward and notes on how to defeat the BOSS.
Li Yan watched and listened for a long time.
Then, he felt a little moved.
He knew this game, which many people were playing, was called "World of Warcraft".
At that time, his roommate actually asked him to play together, but he had a game he was playing at the time... In addition, his roommate's favorite thing to do was to find some messy games and then ask everyone to play together.
Play for a while and if you feel bad, drop A.
He accompanied me a few times and played the game a few times, but he didn’t want to repeat it anymore.
So he didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't go play. But he didn't expect it.
This game is not on the same level as the random games my roommate found.
He is helpless
It spread out at an extremely fast speed.
At first, we played in a few dormitories.
And soon.
The more and more people play it, the more people discuss it.
And now you can even hear related discussions in the classroom.
I have to admit that Li Yan was moved.
Stay up until get out of class is over.
Li Yan immediately ran back to the dormitory.
He is already very fast.
But unexpectedly, his roommate was faster. When he returned to the dormitory, several roommates were already sitting in front of the computer, and the games were all started.
His roommates who often made trouble began to yell.
"Tonight we will fight the Scarlet Monastery! I found a guide, and we will try it with two powerful teammates later."
"Who are you looking for? Next door?"
"Go away, those are tribesmen! We are sworn in with them."
"Ah? This."
"……Is it fun?"
Li Yan listened to their conversation for a while, then came directly behind his roommate and asked.
"Do you want to play?"
When the roommate heard this, he immediately turned around in surprise.
The other roommates also showed surprised expressions: "It's fun! We happen to be missing a t! Do you want to play?"
"Is it too late? I see you are all advanced, and I'm not very good at playing."
Li Yan took a look at their levels.
"It's okay! I got started quickly. It's really fun! Come on."
The first roommate said excitedly: "Believe me, you will be fascinated! Even if it doesn't work, we can teach you! Come on, come on, remember to choose an alliance..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He hasn’t finished speaking yet.
The dormitory door was suddenly pushed open, and the strong man from the dormitory next to him appeared at the door. He was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Alliance dog!"
"Wipe!—Tribe Dog!!"
Li Yan's roommate immediately stopped talking to him and turned his head to respond directly.
Li Yan: "..."
"A brood of dwarves!"
"A brood of tauren!"
The two groups exchanged insults and then gave each other the middle finger, and then the other party walked away laughing and made a truce.
Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Apart from being funny, I also became more interested in the game.
It seems... really good.
At least the atmosphere feels pretty good.
"How's it going? Do you want to play?"
The roommate looked at Li Yan again.
"bring it on."
Li Yanzai went directly back to his computer and started downloading "World of Warcraft" with anticipation. At the same time, he said: "I'll create an account first."
After the public beta of "World of Warcraft", it began to sweep the entire online game player group at an extremely fast speed!
And if we say that Internet cafes and colleges and universities have been swept away, there is still a lag.
The relevant game communities and discussion groups are on the front line of the wave.
Jiang Lun played until late at night on the day of the game's public beta.
Then.
He planned to take a break and have a group chat.
I saw that the discussion group originally established for "Shen Ge" began to post messages at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye...
News about World of Warcraft.
Most players post screenshots of the main city in "World of Warcraft".
There are screenshots from Stormwind City, Ironforge, Darnassus, and Orgrimmar and Undercity from the Horde.
Players tirelessly posted the bright spots they discovered in the main city in the group.
Then marvel at these details and these cities with unique civilizations.
Especially players who have played "Warcraft", they are more excited than anyone else.
I don’t even act anymore.
Immediately, I started to comment in the discussion group of "Shengo" that "Linmu Studio is the best in the world", "This is the World of Warcraft in my imagination", "Stormwind City / Darnassus / Orgrimmar are awesome"
'...
In the end, the group leader couldn't stand it anymore.
He directly sent a sentence - "This is a game group discussing "Shen Ge", everyone, please take it easy."
But it doesn't have much effect.
It’s not easy to cut down group leaders. If you cut across the board, the group will be gone...
Players will immediately change their positions and discuss it elsewhere.
so.
Jiang Lun saw a strange scene.
["Shen Ge" player exchange group] is full of "World of Warcraft" content...
The forum community is even more exaggerated.
The partition of "World of Warcraft" was established that day.
Then that night, new posts in the new game section began to sprint toward 10,000...
That’s outrageous!
And the next few days.
In the discussion group of "Shen Ge", there are not that many players posting screenshots of the main city of "World of Warcraft".
But for active players, their refresh rate is still not much different from the first day...
Players will be ignorant at this time. It is a big world, and so many rich detailed settings are all left to the players to explore by themselves.
Wherever they go, they will find new surprises.
There are indeed endless topics to talk about every day.
And besides the surprises found on the map.
More and more players are also starting to discuss how to play the game.
At the beginning, they discussed how to leave the main city, form a team, and how to complete a certain task.
Then slowly, it became more and more stressful to face off against other players, to kill players from tribes/alliances, and to follow players from the enemy camp.
then.
It was the first time I came into contact with Murlocs, the first time I formed a team to kill elite monsters, the first time I found someone to download a dungeon, and the first time I met a friend in the game...
The entire "Shen Ge" communication group.
Except for the player who posted the screenshot, as other players level up, the topic changes every day.
The only thing that remains unchanged.
It's probably due to the enthusiasm of the players.
In the past few days, Jiang Lun has also reached level 27.
this day.
He opened the Tianhu chat as usual, and then started looking for the "Shen Ge" communication group.
But I searched around.
did not find……
He was confused, and then with the idea of giving it a try, he clicked on a group called "World of Warcraft Exchange Group".
really.
This is the original "Shen Ge" communication group... In the group, the words posted by the group leader not long ago are still posted.
[I just played "World of Warcraft"! Damn it! I went back to play "Shen Ge" because I was crazy! It's really awesome! Shen Ge sold out! I also rebelled! Today the group is changing its name! We will not discuss Shen Ge
!We discuss "World of Warcraft"!】
And below.
The group of friends rejoiced.
He looked like he was eating a pot of pulp to welcome the king's master...
Jiang Lun's mouth twitched: "..."
He remembered that this group leader seemed to be one of the oldest players in "Shen Ge"...
At that time, I was playing "Shen Ge" when I was competing with Linmu Studio.
So he understands why everyone in the group is discussing "World of Warcraft" and the group name has not been changed.
But I didn't expect it.
The group leader with thick eyebrows and big eyes is still rebellious.
Jiang Lun was a little dumbfounded.
But forget it.
Even if it bears the name "Shen Ge", it still exists in name only, so it is better to change the name now.
He didn't come here to discuss group names.
After briefly reading through the comments of his friends, he sent a message in a half-bragging manner.
[The Scarlet Monastery is looking for teammates to open up wasteland! Fight at four points! Looking for output and T at levels 24 to 30! The higher the level, the better! A god-level commander with rich experience is here to take charge!]
As soon as he sent this message.
It immediately attracted a bunch of replies.
Even the group leader sent a message, "Big boss, please guide me"...
The influence of "World of Warcraft".
Lin Yao also saw it.
This time, he was not as calm as when he heard that the number of people online at the same time exceeded 10 million.
Very happy! Because for her.
The data is also cold.
She had seen many more exaggerated numbers in her previous life, so she didn't feel deeply about them.
But wait until you really feel the influence of "World of Warcraft".
From Internet cafes to universities, from player communities to small groups created by players.
After discovering that the shadow of "World of Warcraft" can be seen in these places, if you say that she is unhappy...it is definitely impossible.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, the entire Linmu Studio is very happy these days! It can be called a chaotic dance of demons!
It's just that Lin Yao was more reserved and didn't show it too obviously.
on the other hand.
The popularity of "World of Warcraft" has also made Lin Yao more confident about the next "Hearthstone" to be launched on PC and PC.
She must find time to write a plan for this game.
The early version of "Hearthstone" can basically be said to be another variant of the gameplay of "World of Warcraft".
Since "World of Warcraft" is so popular, "Hearthstone" can't be delayed any longer. Taking advantage of the "World of Warcraft" trend, it will definitely cause quite a stir.
Um……
certainly.
Not too fast either.
After players have played "World of Warcraft" for a while and become more familiar with the characters, they will feel more immersed in "Hearthstone".
in addition.
The version of "Hearthstone" in Lin Yao's previous life has been changed countless times, and even the classic cards have been changed.
Some versions that are too failed, such as C'Thun, are not suitable to be added.
Therefore, copying is definitely not advisable, and the initial version and subsequent expansion packs need to be carefully considered.
This slightly diluted the joy.
Therefore, although Lin Yao is happy, she is not like the staff who are dancing around with demons.
Inside the office.
Lin Yao is considering the planning document for "Hearthstone".
Quite troublesome.
She encountered trouble on a certain problem and couldn't think of a solution for a while, so she thought about changing her mood.
She opened the forum and took a look at the current levels of most players in "World of Warcraft". She was about to go to the live broadcast website to see where the players had pushed and which copies were popular.
But Mu Wanqing suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"Lin Yao."
Lin Yao could only temporarily give up the idea of watching the live broadcast and raised her head.
"Out."
Mu Wanqing walked over quickly, with a faint blush on her delicate and bright face.
"What's coming out?"
Lin Yao was a little curious.
"The revenue hasn't arrived in seven days, it's one billion."
Mu Wanqing raised her hand and made a ten sign with her index fingers.
Lin Yao was stunned when she heard this, then nodded: "...Okay.
"Um?"
Mu Wanqing was stunned when she saw Lin Yao's reaction, and then hesitated for a moment: "It shouldn't be, aren't you happy? Normally, shouldn't you just jump up and hug me..."
Lin Yao was stunned when she heard this, then she glared at Mu Wanqing, and said funnyly: "Miss Mu, maybe you can think of it this way, I have become mature, after all, I can also call myself the Royal Sister..."
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who was sitting on the chair, looking at her round oval face that seemed to have not changed since they met.
Silence fell.
This doesn't look like Sister Yu.
Zhu Nianqiao looks more like her than...
"Don't look at me like that! Doesn't it look good?" Lin Yao straightened her waist slightly, and her plump peaks were highlighted more and more clearly.
"It's not like that."
Mu Wanqing took a step forward, then put her hand on Lin Yao's flank and scratched her gently.
It immediately made her tremble...
After Lin Yao started to struggle, she suddenly retracted her hand and said softly: "Look... I have never seen such a royal sister."
Lin Yao was speechless and glared at her again, too lazy to talk to her. She turned back to the screen and opened the live broadcast website.
Live broadcast website homepage.
Lin Yao glanced at it, and then she saw that someone was live broadcasting a strategy for the Scarlet Monastery.
She was startled for a moment, then smiled and clicked into the live broadcast room.
"Are you unhappy?" Mu Wanqing asked while standing next to Lin Yao, putting away her unnecessary thoughts and watching the live broadcast with her.
"No, it's just that the game is so popular, it's normal to have this kind of revenue, and I'm mentally prepared. After all, there are so many players, and the income from point cards must be a lot.
Of course I'm happy. If I want to talk about other emotions, they're just a little complicated. Let's not talk about this for now and watch the live broadcast first."
Lin Yao explained, then grabbed Mu Wan's clean white wrist and subconsciously pulled her onto his lap.
On the screen, the anchor in the live broadcast room was also ready to officially lead the team into the dungeon called the Scarlet Monastery...
