An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 380 The Art of Cutting Vegetables

Sea Lion Group Building.

Although it was time to get off work, the "Endless Epic" project department was still full of people. Not a single employee left his desk, and no one dared to relax in the slightest.

Today is the day when "Endless Epic" is launched.

The eyes of almost the entire game circle are focused on their games.

With sweaty palms, Huang Chao got up from his desk and paced back and forth in the office.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and he immediately stepped forward and opened the door. Looking at his partner who appeared at the door, he immediately asked.

"How's it going?"

Zhao Qiguang said with a confident smile on his face.

"It can't be better! A large number of players are pouring into our servers, and the twenty servers that have been launched so far are all full! If this trend continues, I'm afraid we will have to open another twenty servers to satisfy the players' needs." need!"

Hearing this sentence, Huang Chao's hanging heart finally relaxed, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he said in a joking tone.

"Really? Then I'm relieved."

Zhao Qiguang said with a smile.

"Relax, it's not us that should be worried now, but Yunmeng Games. They spent more than a month marketing World of Warcraft, and now all players have been intercepted by us. I'm afraid they would never have imagined that our They moved so quickly that they didn't have a chance to react."

In order to rush to launch World of Warcraft before the public beta, almost everyone, whether it is the overseas development team or the employees of Qiguang Studio, is working overtime with a tight string.

Fortunately, they finally succeeded.

The alpha round of World of Warcraft's internal testing has not yet ended, and they have already produced a game that is not only highly similar in gameplay and content to World of Warcraft, but even slightly better in quality.

In addition, when they promoted the game, they cleverly played the sidelines and labeled "Endless Epic" as a monster. The promotions that Yunmeng made in the early stages of the game are now all wedding dresses for them.

"There is no rush to add servers...we can add them in several batches, there is no need to satisfy all players' appetites at once."

Always keep players hungry.

This is what Huang Chao learned from World of Warcraft.

Why can an activation code for a deleted internal beta be fired at such a high price?

Just because the game is fun?

If you really think so, then you are very wrong!

He knows the psychology of these players very well, the more you stop them from playing, the more they want to play. Compared with the activation code that was fired for more than 50,000 yuan, it is very conscientious to be able to enter the game just by queuing up!

At least in Huang Chao's view.

"But... won't this reduce the player's gaming experience?" Zhao Qiguang looked at him with a hesitant expression on his face and said, "According to what I have learned, the longest queue time has even been extended to an hour. Yes. The average queuing time of players is basically more than half an hour.”

"Don't worry, it's okay. The large number of people queuing up just shows that our game is popular. Would you like to play the ghost costume where no one is there after you enter, or the magic game where the server is full 24 hours a day?"

Looking at Zhao Qiguang who was stunned, Huang Chao smiled lightly and continued.

"Besides, if you don't want to queue up, there is no way out. Remember to open a member recharge entrance on the queuing interface in the next update. As long as you recharge to become a member, you can not only sign in every day to receive gift packages, but also jump in the queue to enter the game. In this way, players wait in line The problem is solved, we still have money to make, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

Hearing these words, Zhao Qiguang's eyes lit up immediately.

Awesome!

This trick is high!

Not only can it accurately take care of the game experience of RMB players, but it can also reduce the time spent by prostitute users occupying server resources, which kills two birds with one stone!

However, there is still a problem to be solved.

"But...what if there are too many people jumping in the queue during peak hours, and even the members can't squeeze into the server?"

Hearing his partner's question, Huang Chao showed a bright smile on his face.

"It's easy to say, we will launch another VVIP at that time. Recharging to become a VVIP member will not only skip the queue directly, but also enter the exclusive privilege server of VVIP, enjoying 1.2 times the experience and gold coin bonus!"

"Cow batch!"

Zhao Qiguang couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

This idea is too shameless!

...

The shamelessness here is of course not derogatory, but a compliment.

As a qualified game designer and a good employee of Sea Lion Group, what is the use of morality?

Can it be eaten as a meal?

At least not counting KPI assessment indicators, nor can he be given a year-end bonus.

Seriously study the art of cutting leeks, and accurately harvesting players' wallets is the kingly way!

On the other hand, just as all the staff of the "Endless Epic" project team were working overtime, Say, who had been given special care, had already entered the game through the anchor channel.

After all, in front of millions of spectators queuing up, do you want the face of Sea Lion Group?

Entering the game, Say Ye quickly entered the character creation interface.

Indeed, as the official announcement, the character modeling is quite beautiful, like a model in a clothing store window. But because he himself is a pragmatist, and there are millions of viewers watching, he didn't waste too much time pinching his face, and just fine-tuned a few parameters casually before entering the game.

The race is still the human race, born in a majestic fortress city. Say night subconsciously compared it with Stormwind City in World of Warcraft, but after thinking about it for a long time, he only found one advantage.

"The graphics in this game are pretty good."

The performance of "Endless Epic" is indeed slightly better than that of "World of Warcraft", from the magnificent buildings to the small textures on NPC clothing. The strength of the Sea Lion Group's art team is not blown out.

However, for some reason, standing on this bustling street, Say Night couldn't feel the atmosphere that an MMORPG game should have.

how to say?

It's not that it's not lively enough.

In fact, the performance of this game on the first day of its launch was quite popular. Many players who hadn’t played World of Warcraft were fooled by the previous publicity PV to come here, so that more than 20 servers were full, and even You have to queue for half an hour to enter the game——

However, even though the streets were crowded with new players, he always felt that something was missing.

It wasn't until he saw the blacksmith standing by the street and the cold and monotonous dialogue framed in the floating window that he finally understood where this inexplicable sense of disobedience came from.

And it wasn't just him who felt it.

The same goes for the audience in the live broadcast room.

Before he could give a comment, the barrage had already started to pop up.

[This fan game is quite restored. 】

[Yeah, it's just a pity that I learned the superficiality, but didn't learn the core. 】

[I miss the blacksmith in Stormwind City, when will Night God start broadcasting Warcraft, you still owe the old blacksmith a dozen ribs. 】

[I don’t know if the anchor can complete this task chain before the alpha closed beta is over, I just want to see what the holy sword looks like and what attributes it has. 】

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Say Ye smiled wryly, trying to say something but couldn't speak.

After all, the partner's people are also in the live broadcast room, so he can't say don't worry, everyone can see the content they like after these four hours, right?

Perhaps because they noticed the rhythm in the live broadcast room, the PR team of Sea Lion Group began to work hard, and some strange things began to mix in on the screen.

For example, things like "This game is really good", "Everyone, come and play", these are bullet screens sent by robots at first glance.

With a headache all over his face, he closed the barrage window, and sighed, Say Ye tried his best not to care about the things in the live broadcast room, and focused on the game.

At this moment, he felt that he needed someone to comfort him more than the water friends in the live broadcast room.

Thinking that it will be broadcast for another week, his heart is filled with despair...
