There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 509 Why are they back again

   No matter how hard it is for Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng to accept.

  The facts are right in front of you.

   And the cheers from the players proved... how happy they were with the news.

   After all, players have been suffering from Tianhu for a long time... No, to be more precise, they have been suffering from online games for a long time.

  It was not like this at the beginning.

After Linmu Studio's "Fantasy OL" entered the market, the entire turn-based online game market is in a hurry. No matter what, it is a similar game anyway, so you have to face Linmu Studio's menacing "Fantasy OL". OL".

  For example, the original competitor of "Fantasy OL", "Tianhu Travels", was not forced by Linmu Studio. In order to retain players, it was forced to gradually join the "Fantasy OL" pioneered such as gangs and social systems.

  Then, Krypton Gold can only get props that increase the chance of probability, which is also absorbed by them.

"Tianhu Travels" no longer dared to sell props that directly add attributes in the mall with great fanfare, and followed the same path as "Fantasy OL". Not only did it not continue to launch props that directly add attributes, but racked its brains to think The way to remove the previous props...

no way.

  If you continue to maintain the environment where rich players are the sky, ordinary players basically have no future, and even a little bit of hope can't be seen.

  Ordinary players will join the enemy.

  Then the ordinary players left, who would the krypton gold players pretend to be? With another kryptonite player?

  At the time, krypton gold players and ordinary players said together that "the Lord has defected to the enemy" is still vivid in my memory.

  So there is no way.

   And this is the power of head games and benchmarks.

In fact, because "Fantasy OL" still has a fairly small player base, any peers who want to grab food can't get around the benchmark "Fantasy OL". This makes all games of the same type, when making games, Will cast a mouse.

   And the follow-up "Breakout" is the same.

It was the first time to use the box-opening method, and removed the "attribute weapons" like the fire unicorn that were generally accepted by the industry at that time, and instead adopted the routine that the skin only affects the appearance and does not affect any combat, and launched the biochemical mode, and then Binding gameplay and e-sports together makes it easier for players to accept.

  Finally let all players move closer to the competitive direction.

   No matter how fancy your gun is, how much money it costs, as long as you shoot it, the **** will be shot for you.

   At that time, they were playing the same type of games in the entire game circle, and in the end they were all forced to accept the gameplay set by Linmu Studio.

   If you don’t accept it, you will die. An extremely popular e-sports competition directly wiped out the accumulation of all similar games, and Linmu Studio directly turned the table! The cards are reshuffled, and players vote with their feet. If they don't change, they will just watch the players lose.

  Although the effect is mediocre after the change... After all, "Breakout" has become a trend.

   Then, not to mention MOBA and pass system.

   Does not affect the high revenue brought by balanced skins, e-sports competitions with high added value, a pass that pleases ordinary players but can make money.

   Directly makes many heavy krypton games take a sharp turn.

change!

  After all... Linmu Studio seems to be able to earn more!

  Then why do you have to bear the infamy to make a thankless heavy krypton game? Even if he is willing to bear the infamy, the players are not willing to play.

  So the environment of all online game types that Linmu Studio has produced in the future has improved.

  Even if you don’t play Linmu Studio’s online games and play other games of the same type, you can still feel that cheating money is not so blatant.

   But alas.

  After the completion of the MOBA project, Linmu Studio gave up the field of online games.

  Lin Yao made this decision due to the consideration of limited personnel and the establishment of the game platform.

This decision has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that with the rise of Linmu Studio, buyout system games are accepted by more domestic players, and because the boundaries between stand-alone and online games are beginning to blur, many people play buyout games. It is rarely thrown away after the plot is over.

   The disadvantage is that the audience of online games is still large...but Linmu Studio is gone.

  There are quite a few people who play online games, and the time they spend on online games is generally higher than that on stand-alone games.

   Many players may play a buyout game every few days, but online games are played every day.

  For example, in the online games of Linmu Studio, the number of online users has never dropped and is very stable. Many people subconsciously opened the MOBA before the break after shooting "Call of Duty", and then chose to play one.

  In this case... Among the various game types, it is good that Linmu Studio has released online games.

   Just play the online game of Linmu Studio.

  But other types are hard to say.

  The hardest-hit area is the MMORPG genre... As one of the most popular game genres in China, Tianhu has always been the leader of this genre, and they hardly have any competitors.

  Before, Tianhu was approached step by step by Linmu Studio.

  You said that it’s good for the financial report to look good, you don’t want to give up the number one title, or you want to deal with major shareholders.

  In short... the MMORPG under Tianhu, in order to maintain revenue during that time, adopted the method of "fishing out of the water", and frequently made foolish tricks.

  Although Li Guangsheng came to his senses later, this practice was stopped after Mou Feng returned to Tianhu and seized power.

  But they are not like Lin Yao back then, they were faced with basically hopeless projects, and they were still working for others. "Fantasy OL" was a mess at the very beginning, Lin Yao dared to flip the table and let all the players go back to the starting point. Anyway, she was ready to go back and let Lin Xi take care of her.

  But Tianhu can't, they can't lift the table, because the table is their own!

  So Tianhu's repair progress has not been fast, and the effect is not very good, and there is no actual progress.

   The players are very dissatisfied!

   But they can't help it. After all, although Tianhu has become the second after the rise of Linmu Studio, the second is not small. In the field of MMORPG, they are still good enough.

  If you like this type of player, you can only accept it.

  Theoretically, if the player accepts, that day Fox will have enough time to repair the previous faint move.

but.

   Just now...

  Linmu Studio suddenly announced that its last game is MMORPG, which is an online game, at the last meeting on the penultimate day of the "Carnival".

   And it is an online game developed based on the Warcraft IP of "Warcraft".

   Oh hoo.

   That's fun!

  Even if the players in the venue are not all MMORPG players, they are all core players. They have basically played "Warcraft", and they have all heard of the name Tianhu.

  So when they heard the news, their first reaction was to cheer.

  Because this is very surprising news.

   As for whether it is good or not.

  Look at the position.

   For the players, of course it is good! Because Forest Studio is back! Back to its loyal online game field! Even if the game is not considered, it is a good thing to consider that it can activate Tianhu's survival instinct! Worth cheering!

   As for colleagues...

   Li Guangsheng sat back on the chair, his face was livid anyway.

  Mou Feng also froze on the spot, his expression was also not good-looking.

  Tonight, it is estimated that many domestic colleagues will not be able to sleep.

  After all, Linmu Studio, which was originally a stand-alone player, is back again...

  On stage.

  When Lei Hongguang heard the tsunami-like cheers from the audience, he became calmer, and the smile on his face became brighter.

He patiently waited for the cheers to stop, and then continued: "Yes, "World of Warcraft" is an online game. In fact, many players have asked us whether we will make online games in the future. Not only I know this, but Lin Yao also knows it. In fact, we have never given up on online games, and we have been thinking about the development direction of online games these days.

   But we don’t want to fool players. We are very cautious about online games that require long-term operations. We have not made up our minds to do it without certain assurance. Fortunately, last year, we finally had confidence!

  This "World of Warcraft" will be further developed based on the world view of "Warcraft"! A bigger world will be presented to all players, in which you will meet many old friends, such as Kael'thas, Illidan, Magtheridon, Archimonde, and Alsace!

   But you will also meet many new friends, such as... Ragnaros the Firelord, Alakir the Wind Lord, C'Thun the Old God!

  And this huge world is waiting for you to explore. You will enter this world as adventurers, and enter this continent that was originally called the Land of Eternal Starlight! So, are you ready? "

   "OHHH!!!"

  The players cheered again when they heard Lei Hongguang's words.

  Lei Hongguang smiled, and then walked aside.

  The lights dimmed.

  The atmosphere is adjusted!

   It's time to release the promotional video!

  The players also realized something, and the cheers were shorter than before.

   As the screen lights up on stage.

  The audience instantly became quiet.

  The logo of Linmu Studio slowly appeared on the screen.

   Then it slowly darkened.

  A yellow map appeared in the center of the screen.

  【It has been four years since the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side to resist the invasion of the Burning Legion. 】

  [Despite successfully saving Azeroth, the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance has long since disappeared. 】

  【Now, the thundering drums of war are sounding again! 】

  The entire map of Azeroth is displayed in front of everyone.

  Follow the last sentence of the narration.

  The picture gradually blurred, and the sound of howling wind sounded.

   Immediately afterwards, the epic singing voice also sounded.

  In the wind and snow.

  A dwarf whose face was mostly covered by a beard turned his head and looked around.

  The camera zooms out slowly.

  The dwarf signaled the brown bear next to him to move forward, and then carried the shotgun in his hand.

   One person and one bear, started to move forward, and then stopped at the edge of the cliff, looking at Ironforge not far away in the snow.

  The screen changes.

forest.

  An elf seemed to have sensed something, put away the dagger, and started running forward.

   Accompanied by progressively higher background music.

  She jumped in front of the waterfall, turned into a black cheetah, and jumped down.

  The cheetah splashed water from its limbs.

  Camera switching.

   Wilderness.

  The necromancer took a step, and the breath of death spread around with his steps.

  The undead warlock with a hideous face stopped, looked at the camera, and slowly raised his left hand.

   And a hellfire slowly stood up from behind him...

  Next scene.

   At dusk.

  The muscular tauren chieftain took a step forward, to the edge of the cliff, and threw golden powder into the air.

  The camera also followed the drifting powder forward, and switched to a burning gathering place.

  The green-skinned orc roared, striking the blunt weapon in his hand while moving forward, like a demonstration.

  Finally, he swung his weapon at the camera, showing off his strength, and roared to the sky!

  The screen changes again.

  The dilapidated church.

  The huge hellfire is burning with flames, trying to climb to the top of the church.

  The human mage stood above the hellfire, rubbed out a big fireball, and smashed it down on the hellfire below.

   Fireball dropped.

  The screen suddenly went dark.

Then.

  The camera starts to switch rapidly.

  In the wind and snow.

   The dwarf hunter shoots.

  The brown bear behind him roared and rushed forward as if hearing the signal.

   In front of it, the muscular tauren waved the totem and hammered the brown bear to the ground.

  In the wilderness.

  The two hellfires stepped forward quickly, their heavy steps shaking the heavens and the earth.

   On the plain.

  The orcs and druids are fighting at close quarters.

  Enter the church.

  The mage waved his hand, flying along with the hem of his clothes, and the surroundings were frozen and white.

  He raised his hand, facing the sky.

   Ice and snow fall, thunder flashes!

  The last scene.

  The tauren chief raised the totem on his shoulder and swung it down towards the camera.

   thump.

   A planet-like icon appears in the center of the screen.

  LOGO appears.

   "World of Warcraft" (World of Warcraft)

  The promotional video is over.

  …

   "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

   The players cheered again.

   Actually.

  Not to mention anything else, the CG of Linmu Studio will never disappoint!

  That picture, that light, that epic music.

  When the last LOGO appeared, almost all players had goosebumps.

   "How is it? In the promotional video, there are occupations that are partially open in the early stage."

Lei Hongguang returned to the front of the stage, happier, and when the cheers stopped, he couldn't wait to speak: "After watching the promotional video, many players may have guessed something, especially the narration at the beginning, yes! Horde and Alliance In between, the drums of war sounded again! The adventurers played by the players must choose between these two camps!

  The two camps have different races! Different beliefs! Against each other! All players have to choose between two camps to join! "

  Follow Lei Hongguang's words and live.

   On the screen behind him, the selection screen of the real machine appeared directly.

  On the left is the Alliance, while on the right is the Horde.

  The races that can be selected on both sides are different.

   And the bottom is career choice.

   This is another unexpected setting.

  All players were stunned.

   "The player's choice is different, and their main cities will also be different. The main cities in the early stage are divided into six, including three for the alliance and three for the tribe.

   On the side of the Alliance, there is Stormwind City, the main city of humans, located in the northern part of Elwynn Forest, and the capital of Stormwind Kingdom! There is Ironforge, which is the main city shared by dwarves and gnomes, located on the top of the snow-capped Dun Morogh; there is Darnassus, which is the main city of the night elves. The place where I grew up, the environment is quiet, and the scenery is beautiful...”

On the other side, the three main cities of the tribe are Orgrimmar, the common main city of orcs and trolls, and the place where the tribe has the most people, rough and brutal; Thunder Bluff, which is the hometown of the tauren, is located in On the platform of the verdant grassland in the Thunder region; Undercity, the main city of the undead, is located deep underground in the original human kingdom of Lordaeron! Everyone here should be familiar with "Warcraft", the hometown of Alsace! "

  Lei Hongguang began to introduce the main cities of the two camps.

   And as he introduced.

   On the screen behind him, there will also be a bird's-eye view of the city.

  3D, full of fantasy, unlike the city with an overhead view like RTS, it feasted the eyes of the players on the scene, and then broke out even bigger cheers.

   Sounds like fun!

  Although the story is set, the tribe and the alliance are opposed to each other.

  But the players didn't expect that the online game would follow such a setting!

  This is really shit! !

   Can still play like this! ?

  On the stage, Lei Hongguang was still introducing.

   Has already begun to explain the setting of field PVE and PVP, as well as the concept of camp protection.

   Then, he went on to introduce the difference between occupations.

  As he explains, different pictures will appear on the screen behind him.

  In fact, this is the real machine of "World of Warcraft", but it is different from the past, it is not broadcast for players to watch.

   Instead, it adopts the form of explaining and exposing step by step.

   After all, there are indeed many systems in online games.

  And the players, following Lei Hongguang's explanation, the more information is revealed, the more excited they will be!

   A world!

   Two opposing camps!

  Diverse career options!

   There are also exclusive camp occupations!

on the one hand.

   The game "World of Warcraft" gave them a familiar feeling.

   After all, "Warcraft" has been released for a long time, and players are familiar with many things, such as certain cities and certain occupations.

   But on the other hand, the game has given players a lot of novelty, the choice of different camps, opposing players, a larger story background, a variety of gameplay, more beautiful scenery...

   This brings both nostalgia and freshness.

   Make players more and more excited.

   Online game... looks so interesting!

   But the other side.

  Li Guangsheng's hands and feet are already cold...

  Every time Lei Hongguang said a word, his heart became heavier until he fell to the bottom.

   Then... continue down.

  Especially after Lei Hongguang introduced the concept of faction opposition and various ways of playing, he was even more desperate.

no!

  Brother!

   Isn’t it good for you to do stand-alone?

   Why did he suddenly become an online game!

  Li Guangsheng looked at the kind-hearted player next to him who was eager to try, and his eyes burst out with a strong brilliance, and he felt like crying.

   On the other side of Li Guangsheng, Mou Feng didn't feel like crying.

   But the whole person was stunned.

  He looked at Lei Hongguang who was talking eloquently on the stage, and once again recalled the fear of the entire online game market being dominated by Linmu Studio...

   They did come back.

   And also brought a... an online game that can be called lore.

  He has actually imagined many possibilities. In the last meeting, Linmu Studio will announce an open world masterpiece, or an open game in cooperation with other major manufacturers, or an even bigger news, such as a listing.

  He has thought about all these.

   But he really didn't expect that Linmu Studio would announce an online game.

  Because they are doing well in the stand-alone game market now! And the mainframe is also selling well!

  Who would have thought of this tm!

   "We're going back!"

   took a deep breath.

  Mou Feng turned his head abruptly. Although he still wanted to listen to it, he wanted to fully understand the whole picture of the online game that Linmu Studio had not released for a long time, but he knew that he could not listen any longer.

   "Go back?" Li Guangsheng turned his head while maintaining a weeping expression.

   "Yes! We must hold an urgent meeting to find a way to deal with it! Otherwise, it will be unstoppable, our only advantageous game type! It will be unstoppable!"

  Mou Feng stood up, barely maintained his composure, and pulled up his hair.

  Li Guangsheng also reacted, and quickly adjusted his suit.

  On the stage, Lei Hongguang had sharp eyes, and he also noticed the two people who stood up suddenly, and slowly asked a question mark.

ah? Is there something wrong with what I said?

  Why did you leave?

  But soon, he shook his head.

   Maybe it was going to the toilet.

Um.

definitely is.

  …

at last.

  When Lei Hongguang announced that "World of Warcraft" will be tested on May 30 after the release of Monster Hunter, and the game will be open for trial tomorrow.

  The last game meeting of "Forest Carnival" ended perfectly!

  The audience cheered.

  Watching the live broadcast, liking online games, and players who like the genre of MMPRPG are already very happy!

  Since Linmu Studio stepped into the field of stand-alone games.

  For the first time, the discussions and posts about online games overwhelmed the single-player posts and occupied the front page of the stand-alone game community.

   On the one hand, this is related to the gradual blurring of the boundaries between online games and stand-alone games.

   But the other side is also related to the fact that this "World of Warcraft" is completely different from ordinary MMORPGs. The game is developed based on "Warcraft".

   After all, "Warcraft" is well-known in the stand-alone game circle!

   Anyway anyway.

  The last meeting of the forest carnival was beyond everyone's expectations!

  The most discussed about "World of Warcraft" is not the ordinary game community.

  It is... the official discussion community of Tianhu related MMORPG games.

this day.

   In the Tianhu MMORPG discussion community like "Shen Ge", no one discusses Shen Ge at all, but all discuss "World of Warcraft"...

   This is simply unimaginable, it is a stunning view.

   It was at the same time that Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng called a meeting for the heads of their games.

  Tianhu related game community, chicken flying dog jumping.

   "Fuck! It looks so awesome, I'm going to join the enemy!!"

   "Finally! Linmu Studio is finally making MMORPG! Do you know how long I have been waiting for this moment? Brothers! Brothers of Qianjin Union, prepare to change games!"

"To be honest, after watching the "World of Warcraft" meeting, I couldn't help but be tempted even after playing the Tianhu game for almost five years. I feel that it is much more interesting than the Tianhu game. .”

   "I'm going to surrender to the enemy too! For online games, it has to be Lin Mu Studio!"

   "Hahaha, Tianhu, wait for death! No one competed before, and even if someone competes, you can't beat you. You are messing around! Now it's all right, Linmu Studio is here! Who in the world can't understand Linmu Studio!"

   "..."

   The players had all kinds of carnivals, while expressing their hatred for Tianhu, and at the same time feeling happy for the entry of Linmu Studio.

  At the same time, expressed a strong interest in "World of Warcraft".

   Then, about half an hour later, perhaps the official administrators of the forum felt that there were too many discussions about enemy games, so they directly banned related keywords in the background and began to delete posts frantically.

  The final result is.

  The official community, which was very lively just now, suddenly became silent.

   Players stopped discussing?

   No, just switched sides...

  After the meeting, when Mou Feng heard the news, he immediately found the relevant person in charge, scolded him, and then told him to reopen quickly, and don't do stupid things.

  tm, the game is almost over now! Also depriving players of their freedom of speech and forcing them to leave, is it because they think they are dying fast enough?

  Mou Feng responded quickly.

   But it's still too late...

  Even if Mou Feng signaled to release the key words of "World of Warcraft", not many players are willing to come back to discuss... Most of the players have already left, and even if they are willing to post, it is still yin and yang.

this day.

   Because of a "World of Warcraft".

  Including Sky Fox.

  The directors of most of the competing companies in the domestic forest studio did not fall asleep and could not sleep all night!

   Just an idea.

  Why are they back again! !
