Rebirth of Cyber ​​Hegemony

The Chinese Internet gaming circle in 2004 is destined to be a major event in the annals of history.

Soon after the beginning of the year, the two major 3D online games have completed the packaging and testing.

However, the closed beta has nothing to do with most gamers.

Because this selects some elite level players, there are not many players tested.

There are still countless people's expectations about how the two major games are fun and how they are.

It is different from the era when activation codes were required before.

At this time, most of the major game companies have cancelled the activation code strategy.

Especially after the emergence of two major competing games, the activation code can only hinder the promotion of the game.

Therefore, although the closed beta is not a public beta, it has become a battleground for major game manufacturers.

For major game companies, the internal beta is actually equivalent to the open beta.

It can even be said that the internal test is more important than the public test.

Because the closed beta is hot, the open beta can be hot.

If the closed beta is cold, the open beta is basically a foregone conclusion.

For the time being, there has not been a popular game in the open beta and the open beta.

"Brothers, today World of Warcraft and Kyushu are officially in closed beta, which one to play?"

"I don't know, it depends on everyone."

"I am going to play World of Warcraft."

"I'm going, aren't you a fan of Huanyu Technology, how do you play World of Warcraft?"

"I also want to play Kyushu, but some players in the beta test said that World of Warcraft is more fun and more classic. I will play it for a while and see. If it is not fun, I will play Kyushu again."

"Uh, I'll play Kyushu first."

I don’t know if it’s a good idea. The two major game companies chose to conduct internal testing on the same day.

However, the time is slightly different.

It's 13 o'clock noon on this side of World of Warcraft, which is 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Kyushu OL is 18 o'clock in the evening.

The two major games have their own fans, as well as their own game crowd.

However, World of Warcraft seems to be more popular than Huanyu Technology.

And this time the opening test of Kyushu is a few hours later than World of Warcraft.

Although a few hours late does not really tell the winner.

But with the strengths of the two sides so close, and the real sword and gun battle has already begun, although a late step is not fatal, it definitely loses the general trend first.

...

"All departments prepare."

"The closed beta is about to begin. I don't want to know that any accidents will happen."

"This time is the most critical battle for our NetEase. I believe everyone knows the seriousness of this battle."

At NetEase headquarters, Ding Lei personally came to the game department of World of Warcraft.

all the best.

In itself, World of Warcraft is an extremely eye-catching super masterpiece.

Coupled with the good reputation shown in the packaging and testing.

In addition, under the supervision of Ding Lei, the promotion of World of Warcraft is not bad at all for Huanyu Technology.

As long as World of Warcraft starts testing, the data is absolutely beautiful.

When the clock was pointing to 13 o'clock, Ding Lei personally pressed the start button.

The World of Warcraft, which came back from Blizzard’s agent, is officially in closed beta.

"The test is on, brothers, come on."

"Open service, go up and up."

"Tell everyone, you must choose a mage, you must choose a mage."

"why?"

"Nonsense, the wizard has always been Blizzard's pro-son. Regardless of any revision, the wizard has always been the most harmful in the Blizzard Warcraft series."

Several players who participated in the closed beta are guiding everyone in the YY group chat.

Although YY is owned by Huanyu Technology, NetEase and Huanyu Technology are competitors. But even if it is a competitor, they use YY very much. NetEase does not worry about any restrictions that Huanyu Technology will impose on them. This is simply impossible. In addition to being inconsistent with Huanyu Technology's strategy, they actually used YY to increase the viscosity of YY.

Netease believes that Huanyu Technology cannot suppress their other software because of the game.

Especially the instant messaging of Universal Technology.

Ding Lei is very clear, although it seems that Huanyu Technology is the most profitable game.

But the game is just to make money for them.

The real core has always been their instant messaging.

"Where is the background data?"

"President Ding, here, look."

The programmer called out the background data.

This data includes the number of registered people, the number of people online at the same time, the length of online time... etc.

However, Ding Lei is most concerned about the number of people online at the same time.

Regardless of the number of registered people, if there are not many people online at the same time, he is also a street-fighting game.

A successful game not only requires a large number of registrations, but also a large number of online users.

Otherwise, he would not be able to make much money.

Of course, the number of people online at the same time is also the most important indicator of major game companies.

"50000."

10 minutes.

The number of simultaneous online users in World of Warcraft broke the record of 50,000.

This made Ding Lei's heart beat fiercely.

This number is the highest number he has since operating online games for so many years.

Moreover, this is not over yet.

Because it's only 10 minutes.

But from breaking 50,000 simultaneous online records in 10 minutes, it can be seen that World of Warcraft is destined to be popular.

"100,000."

"150000."

"200,000."

The same as expected.

With the growth of World of Warcraft online time, more and more players have entered World of Warcraft.

At the same time, the number of people online at the same time in World of Warcraft is constantly refreshing again and again.

"My God, it's 200,000, 200,000."

Ding Yingfeng exclaimed excitedly.

"President Ding, President Ding, our online record broke 200,000 at the same time."

Although the internal test broke the 200,000 simultaneous online record, it did not break the record of Huanyu Technology.

But it's okay.

3D games are not the same as 2D games.

There is always a process of adapting to the transition from 2D games to 3D games.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that he broke the 200,000 simultaneous online record on the first day of the test, or now that the first day is not over.

Such a figure has far exceeded their imagination.

According to this situation, even if the highest number of simultaneous online tests in the internal test is 200,000.

Once they enter the public beta, they can definitely double the 200,000 to 400,000-500,000.

What does 500,000 simultaneous online records mean?

So, let's calculate an account.

World of Warcraft uses a point card system, which costs 4 cents per hour and 9.6 yuan for 24 hours a day.

Multiplying 9.6 by 30 days per month, and then multiplying by 500,000, the monthly income is 140 million.

Of course, it is impossible to be online at 500,000 at the same time in 24 hours, and at a 20% discount, there are also 100 million.

In other words, the annual income is 1.2 billion, and after removing costs, at least 800 million is earned.

In just one year, NetEase can earn back the agency fee to Blizzard.

As for the back, it is pure profit.

If you go one step further and operate World of Warcraft to millions of simultaneous online, it really...

"well."

Ding Lei's heart was choppy.

Before that, he had never thought that the game he played could break one million online at the same time.

In his eyes, as long as he runs a game with millions of simultaneous online, he will be able to ramp up the Internet.

Just like Huanyu Technology.

Why does Huanyu Technology dare to engage in the east and the west, and also engage in mobile phones~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Why does NetEase do not do this or not, and are restricted everywhere?

Is Huanyu Technology so awesome?

Does Huanyu Technology CEO Chen Yu have ideas?

It's a dime.

No no no...

This is not all.

It's not how strong Huanyu Technology is.

It's not how awesome Chen Yu is.

What he meows is that they are rich.

If they don't have money, even if Chen Yu has the ability to reach the sky, his idea will not be realized.

Suddenly.

Ding Lei discovered that World of Warcraft gave him an ambition to attack other areas.
