Rebirth of the Evil Life

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long-awaited "ten thousand people battle" finally started, and the three city rulers issued an attack order to all members of the guild. The targets are all the "weakest guilds" that were unanimously identified by the leaders of the previous guilds after discussions.

On the screen, you can clearly see the black crowd attacking the hostile city. Players from the three cities meet unexpectedly on the way. There is no need to ask or say hello. The players spontaneously go to war.

Three cities and three guilds are the same as the Three Kingdoms - checks and balances, any dominance of one will pose a threat to other guilds. But obviously this first "city battle" was not as orderly as expected. The originally formulated strategy was completely left behind by the players during the battle. Players slash anyone they see, regardless of which guild they belong to, as long as they are not from their own side, they will slash fiercely when they go up.

If something happened to happen, it would be a more tragic fight. The entire battlefield seems to be like a meat grinder, constantly devouring the player's life, dying, coming and dying, no one is willing to leave the battlefield. Especially seeing all kinds of equipment overflowing on the ground is even more enviable. But in a world without cheats, it would be futile to pick up the equipment dropped by yourself or other players when the sky is full of thunder and hellfire. Even before picking up the newly exposed equipment, the new equipment on his body was exposed again.

Passion, madness, and interests are best reflected at this moment. Stimulated by the equipment everywhere, everyone's eyes were red-eyed. Even if the leader of the guild shouted in the channel, no player listened. The members of the tripartite guild were in the middle of the map, and the first "world war" in the history of "Legend" was launched.

The equipment everywhere attracted not only the three-party war guilds, but even the players who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines were seduced red-eyed. Holding the mentality of making money if they can't die, these spectators went to the warehouse to strip off their clothes, and put a whole body of medicine into the chaotic battlefield, just to pick up even a piece of equipment.

The wages of avarice is death.

The addition of this larger group of "Guangguang Clan" made the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic. Nearly 10,000 players were crowded in this small area, and it was impossible to get through. Often before he could react, he went to meet Hades with a flash of white light amidst the shadows of swords and swords all around him.

As for the previous plan to attack the opponent's city, the plan to occupy the city is now in vain. The three cities are deserted, and there is no enemy city player who comes to attack. This is in stark contrast to the chaotic and bloody battlefield in the middle of the map.

Witnessing the calls for help from the players fighting on the battlefield in the guild channel, and the requests from friends who lost their equipment and eager to pick it up, the players defending the city were also moved. No one wants to stay here for one night with nothing to do. Although the boss of the guild is not allowed to leave if he speaks, the current guild system lacks binding force. Everyone joins the guild for profit and to meet friends, so naturally they will leave the guild for profit and friends at this moment.

The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is for profit.

With the first player leaving secretly, there is the second player leaving. In a blink of an eye, almost everyone went to hollow out the three cities. Except for a few main leaders of the guild, the three cities made a big plan to empty the city. If there is a team of enemy players attacking the city at this time, even if there are only more than 10 players whose level and equipment are above the level, I am afraid that the city will change its owner ridiculously easily.

It's a pity that all players are tempted by the fighting and equipment on the battlefield, which makes these guild leaders helpless. In the end, they had no choice but to choose to immerse themselves in the battlefield like other players. After all, everyone is here to play games, not just sit here all night. Knowing that the battle is in full swing in the middle of the map, and I can't see a single bird on my side, no one wants to stay here. What's more, even if the city is taken away, it will be taken back when the time comes.

Most of the 384 servers in the 48 districts of "Legend" staged this funny scene. The first "city battle" was undoubtedly just a melee that swept the entire "Legend".

Although there are occasional guilds on a few servers that are well-organized and capture the opponent's city, they quickly fall under the counterattack of the opponent's players.

In the Three Kingdoms War, two against one, it is possible to win no matter what. No matter how passionate the players are, no matter how irrational they are, they also know when to join forces. The end result is that it starts from the melee and ends from the melee, and no one can please.

The game was chaotic, and outside the game, Lin Feng and others were nervously watching the operation of the software named "Cloud Computing" developed by Cohen.

"Error 2 times!"

"Error reported 5 times!"

 …

In the end, when the three-hour "urban battle" ended, the software called "cloud computing" reported 13 errors in total. In the "urban battle" with 384 servers in 48 districts, only data errors were reported 13 times. Extremely satisfying. It should be noted that for this "city battle" system, Lin Feng did not add any additional server and network bandwidth resources, and completely used the "cloud computing" software developed by Cohen to use the resources of all players for asynchronous parallel processing. There is a lot of room for improvement.

"Mr. Wu, how many people are online tonight?" Lin Feng asked.

"The number of online users exceeded the previous highest online number of "Legend", reaching more than 1.3 million." Wu Zhaopu said excitedly.

The crowd cheered. This "urban warfare" system was clearly a huge success.

"How is it, Cohen? Can the software be upgraded?" Lin Feng asked Cohen.

"Don't worry, with tonight's data, I believe it will be better next time." Cohen is also very proud of the processing results of tonight's "cloud computing" software. Once this software is developed and mature, it will be able to set off a new era of the Internet era.

"By the way, how many people are online for each server?" Lin Feng asked suddenly.

"The highest server has more than 8,000 people online," Wu Zhaopu said.

Lin Feng frowned upon hearing this. This "cloud computing" software is mainly for preparations for the upcoming "Counter-Strike Online" Asian region. At that time, there will only be one region, and players from all over Asia will enter the game in the same region. At that time, the data throughput will be ten times, or even a hundred times that of the current one. It seems that "cloud computing" needs to undergo a more rigorous test.

Lin Feng immediately held a meeting to discuss the possibility of joining the districts.

The benefits of the joint zone are obvious. If the "cloud computing" can run maturely and stably, then the cost and expense of server resources can be saved even more, and more players on a server can also bring more popularity and games. sex. But the trouble is that now there are only 3 cities in a server, once the districts are merged, some guilds will lose the cities they occupy. This is a tricky question.

In the end, to discuss the results, it is necessary to combine districts. Of course, in order to consider the acceptance of players, the meeting decided to launch a player voting system on each server, and players will vote to decide whether to join the zone. Merge the 8 servers in one district into 4 servers, and as long as the player votes in favor of more than 70%, you will choose to merge the district.

However, the chaotic "city warfare" also made Lin Feng discover the fatal problem of "Legend". Ridiculous tens of thousands of melee. In this regard, we must learn from "World of Warcraft" and learn from the guild system in it.

Another point is that the use of scrolls to return to the city must be banned in "city warfare", to reduce the advantage of the defenders and increase the tactical nature of "city warfare", otherwise it will be like a mess of loose sand. Play certain technical and tactical. This can also attract more players to invest.

At this time, when Lin Feng and others were discussing the problems exposed in the "Legend" "City Battle", some players were delighted to find a forum posting that tower defense games can easily pass a hundred rounds . This post said that with a piece of software, game data can be easily modified, allowing players to easily break through a hundred rounds, or even a thousand rounds.

But to the dismay of these players, the software costs money. But the price is not expensive, only 15 yuan.

After the first player acted as a guinea pig to buy the software with the mentality of being deceived, he was delighted to find that the data in the game could really be modified by using this software. The first challenge easily reached 230 rounds, breaking the record. The point card reward promised by the game company is easy to win.

The player then happily told his friends about the news and asked them to buy it too. Although there are not many rewards for point cards, this software is only 15 yuan, which is not expensive, as long as you break the record a few more times. What's more, looking at his high ranking on the official leaderboard, this honor cannot be bought for 15 yuan.

In this way, friends pass on friends, friends of friends pass on friends, one spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, and spreads all over the Internet overnight. Although not everyone has bought the software, the records of tower defense games of major Internet companies have been broken one after another overnight, with the highest record reaching 999 rounds. The setting is only so high.

On the second day, all the major online game companies were dumbfounded when they saw the 999 round clearance records on the ranking list. Many players who did not purchase the software were naturally very angry and strongly demanded the company to give an explanation.

Lin Feng heard the news as soon as he arrived at the company in the morning.

"Director Lin, last night, a total of more than 20,000 people were scanned to use unknown software with the intention of modifying data. According to your previous instructions, all of them will be blocked." Fang Zhihang handed Lin Feng a copy of last night's "Plant Wars" early in the morning. Zombie" players used the data of an unknown software.

"Well, how are other companies doing now?" Lin Feng thought to himself that this day has finally come, and now the company must handle it carefully in order to avoid this possible national network trust storm.

"Other online game companies have been blown up now. Almost all companies' rankings are in round 999. Players who made it to the list demanded rewards from the company, while players who didn't make the list demanded an explanation from the company. In short, they must be having a headache right now. "Fang Zhihang said with a smile.

"Well, did the players find out that these online game companies have become 'quasi-standalone'?" Lin Feng nodded and asked.

"Not yet, but because our "Plants vs. Zombies" cannot use this software, the number of online users has dropped to more than 200,000." Fang Zhihang said.

"It's okay, this is a temporary phenomenon. But I'm afraid this turmoil will cause a lot of trouble." Lin Feng was secretly worried.

It was previously estimated that the harm of cheating fingers would cause great headaches for these companies, and if players find that these companies adopt deceptive "quasi-stand-alone" operations, I am afraid that these companies will be discredited. But more importantly, these online game companies also followed suit by adopting advertising bidding due to their whim. If such a scandal breaks out, I am afraid that these advertising companies will not let it go.

If the sky does evil, you can still live. Self-inflicted, can't live!

In the end, which online game companies can survive this storm depends on themselves. As for your own company, you have to take advantage of the trend.
