I, The Founder Of League Of Legends!

The time finally came to 11:55 noon, and the entire Riot Games company, except for the technicians, all employees, including Lu Li, stopped what they were doing and prepared to try to grab the game activation code.

But what Lu Li never expected was that when he clicked the "Reserve Now" button on the League of Legends website at twelve o'clock, he saw a line of small words popping up!

"Dear Summoner, there are too many people making reservations at the moment, please try again later!"

? ? ?

So many people are robbing? !

Lu Li was so happy that she decided to refresh the webpage again, but the next moment, the webpage suddenly got stuck and stopped moving... Clicking refresh again, a line of English popped up!

502BAD-WAY!

"What happened?! My computer crashed?!" Lu Li looked cute.

"Mine too..." Miss curled her lips.

"It's all like this here..." Pang Xinxin said helplessly.

Five seconds later, Lu Li's phone rang. The technical director told Lu Li that the company's server was down...

? ? ?

Accepting 10 million visits per second, can it still be down? !

"How many people just poured in at the same time?"

"About...30 million people..."

? ? ?

There are only 30 million Weibo fans, and there were 30 million just now? !

Why so many? ! Could it be said that more people actually don’t follow League of Legends’ Weibo? !

But soon, the technical side temporarily rented some cloud servers from Alibaba Cloud, and finally could maintain normal browsing of the official website, but it was still quite difficult to grab the activation code.

But it has to be said that Lu Li was very lucky. When he saw that only 100 of the 10,000 places were left, he clicked again and saw the words "Congratulations"!

"Congratulations to the summoner for successfully obtaining an activation code for the League of Legends game! Please follow the prompts to complete the account activation!"

Although her account had already been activated, Lu Li helped Miss activate her account and go through the process.

Enter your mobile phone number, receive the verification code, enter the activation code, and the account is activated!

Immediately afterwards, Miss tried to download the client again, and then chose to log in, but a new prompt popped up.

The server is temporarily not open. Please log in to the game at 0:00 on March 26th!

…

But when Lu Li saw this prompt, he was stunned for a moment.

"Who wrote this? Doesn't this reveal our open beta date in advance?!"

When Lu Li saw this line of prompts, his mood instantly became very bad. Although in his expectation, the public beta of League of Legends was indeed to be opened at midnight on March 26th. , but Lu Li only plans to talk about this matter at the game conference!

"Who did it?!" No one answered Lu Li's question, which made Lu Li even more furious!

Five minutes later, when the technician urgently canceled the thing, Lu Li learned that the prompt was written by a small programmer on the technician's side.

"Miss, settle his salary and tell him to get out!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li did not question the person at all, but directly made a decision!

Because in Riot Games, Lu Li will never allow anyone to make independent decisions and publish some internal information!

The programmer who did something wrong was quickly fired. At the same time, fortunately, most of the players who grabbed the activation code did not download the client in advance like Miss, so in that sentence, basically no one You see, at least on Weibo, it didn’t cause any waves.

However, another wave of waves soon started to appear on the official Weibo of the League of Legends!

Because the number of activation codes issued by League of Legends is too small in the eyes of most players!

"Only 10,000 activation codes a day? There are 30 million fans in total, and this has to be distributed until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?!"

"In a total of five days, 50,000 activation codes were distributed... How is it possible to get this!"

“I beg you to increase the amount of activation codes issued!”

"Brother, today is Thursday. The activation code will be released on Thursday. The student party is in class, okay?!"

…

Netizens were quite dissatisfied with the League of Legends reservation activity, but Lu Li turned a blind eye to it. After all, hunger marketing is like this, and it must whet the appetite of players.

However, Lu Li did not intend to follow the example of those mobile phone manufacturers who have been whetting their appetites. Instead, he quickly decided that the first wave of players who obtained the activation code would be able to experience the game ten hours earlier than everyone else. Wait until 10 a.m. on March 26. At one o'clock, League of Legends will officially open its public beta!

"The quality of this server seems a bit poor..." Lu Li curled his lips. He didn't expect that the server he spent 20 million to purchase could not even be affordable by 10 million people. If he waited until the public beta started, he would not be able to directly Crash the game?

Therefore, Lu Li could only decide immediately to spend another 100 million to purchase new servers and store these servers in three different places to prevent accidents in one of the servers.

And when the 100 million was spent again, the 500 million that Lu Li took from Lu Jianlin was already less than 50 million...

100 million servers, 200 million overall projections, 50 million CG animations, and many other things that add up to 100 million...

At this time, Lu Li was still quite nervous. Although he knew that based on the current progress of the League of Legends, the League of Legends would definitely be able to far exceed his expectations. However, if...

Forget it, there is no if!

Lu Li said to himself, because Lu Li firmly believes that League of Legends will definitely become the world's largest competitive game!

After League of Legends launched its official reservation event, Lu Li quickly asked Miss and Guan Bo Niang to release a new message on Weibo.

"On March 25th, the League of Legends game conference will be held at the Mercedes-Benz Center in Shanghai! Please go to Damai to purchase tickets!"

A simple sentence, but it once again made countless followers of League of Legends jump one by one!

March 25th is the game launch conference, and today it is already March 22nd!

"Mr. Lu, aren't you a little pressed for time...and the ticket price is actually free?" When Miss heard Lu Li's decision, she was a little surprised.

"Yeah." But Lu Li didn't explain too much to Miss. After all, he also knew that the game launch was too close and many people might not be able to prepare.

As for why the tickets are free... If a game that has not yet started public beta uses the game conference to collect money first, then the reputation of League of Legends among players will immediately drop a lot!
