Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: June 1-June 2, 2004}

{Location:Global}

After seeing his opponent playing gg, Li Xiaofeng also happily played gg. The window for victory came as promised, but after clicking to exit, Li Xiaofeng couldn't wait to return to the chat room and start shouting. Although it was already 0:00 in the morning, the "

The "Warcraft III" section was crowded with people, and he was not afraid that no one could understand his Chinese.

English, Korean and Chinese texts often pop up in the chat public channel of the Wegame Warcraft area. Although you still need to copy these texts to the Bing translation page to understand the meaning. But there is a copy button after each sentence, which can quickly

to help him accomplish this task.

Sure enough, someone soon joined him. This is a private chat method, and others cannot see their conversation even on the public screen.

The man was asking if he was sky?

Looking at his fancy letters, Li Xiaofeng couldn't tell who he was for a long time, until a string of letters "i'm grubby." appeared on his private screen.

It turned out to be grubby! This is his biggest competitor in WCG this year. Unexpectedly, he also came to the battle network of Wegame.

After asking, grubby was indeed attracted by Wegame's battle network system.

In this case, Li Xiaofeng felt that there was no need to be polite.

With such a good Wegame battle platform and an optimized and stable network environment, if you encounter a worthy opponent like Grubby, why should you have a game?

“gogogogogo!!!”

Li Xiaofeng set up the host without saying a word, and then directly entered grubby's account in the chat window of the game. Soon, grubby joined the game, and a series of gogogos from him came one after another.

"Hey, isn't this your biggest competitor this year, grubby? Are you going to fight him in this round?"

Pei Le's voice came from behind, and Li Xiaofeng turned around and smiled at him, "Yeah, I didn't expect to run into him on the wegame platform."

After a pause, Li Xiaofeng looked back at the screen and said, "The WeGame platform is really easy to use. This is the first time I have seen professional players from all major states gather together."

"The public chat window is like this, but the games you are going to play should be using European servers." Pele said with a smile.

Pele has always been concerned about the launch of Wegame. Because of the emergence of this platform, e-sports players like them will have a stable window to compete with global players.

It has to be said that the last trip to Jiangcheng still appears in his memories like a dream.

The appearance of Ning Zimo, who is about the same age as him, is simply a blessing for e-sports players. During these days, several of them have been preparing for the club, and Li Xiaofeng is already in the we club he established.

, became the first WE Club "Warcraft" game player.

In two days, there will be other agreed e-sports players joining the We Club. By then, this currently empty house will be full of people. Then they will compete with other players around the world through the Wegame platform.

But before that, he needs to solve all the worries for these guys!

Of course, money is not a problem now. The reserve fund of 50,000 yuan per month is enough for him to complete many things. And this group of professional players can also get a salary of 2,000 yuan with food and accommodation included, which is also a good income.

.Stable living environment, the competition prize money is only 7.3 divided between the players and the club. This is a rule set by Ning Zi, which means that within a period of time, the club will not make a profit.

Because of this, the e-sports team organizations who promised Ning Zimo must manage the money for him.

Because everything Ning Zimo said was gradually implemented in various ways!

Now, it is up to these groups to implement the mission of the e-sports vanguard of planting flowers!

At 2:00 a.m. on June 1st, European time, wegame was officially launched globally. It can be said that the launch of wegame was a day of celebration, because on this day everyone who logged in to wegame found a big surprise!

All Wegame platform users can purchase various old games published by Rockstar, Ubisoft, Nintendo, EA, SNK, and Blizzard after the platform goes online.

These include "StarCraft", "Warcraft", "Age of Empires", "Grand Theft Auto", "Red Alert", "Dune", "Call of Duty" and other masterpieces, and even the PC simulation version of the "Kof" series is also available.

On the wegame platform.

Genuine old players of these games have also discovered a new feature of wegame. They can get the same platform treatment after verifying the CD-key they have purchased on the wegame platform.

This means that all genuine players of Rockstar, Ubisoft, Nintendo, EA, SNK, and Blizzard, as well as new players who purchase games through Wegame, will enjoy Wegame’s Battle.net service!

Although the current Battle.net service only opens Battle.net for popular games such as "StarCraft", "Warcraft", "CS", "FIFA Football", "Age of Empires" and the "Kof" series of simulation games. But for players

For now, this is enough. Currently, Wegame's battle network service is obviously smoother than other battle networks, and the number of players is also larger.

And wegame is obviously more professional than other battle.net, because they have already announced next year's battle.net upgrade plan when they launched battle.net for the first time.

It is an updated opponent matching mechanism that can improve the gaming experience of professional players. The announcement said that when the wegame battle platform comes, it will match opponents with similar levels together to make competitive games more enjoyable.

Of course, Wegame has not forgotten to provide services to ordinary players. At least for now, this customization method of self-built game consoles will remain, which will give players a variety of choices.

But the most anticipated project of Wegame on the day it was launched was not Battle.net, which is favored by niche professional players. The most anticipated project after Wegame was launched was Blizzard's multiplayer online online game - "World of Warcraft"!

As early as early May, the official websites of World of Warcraft and Wegame released the announcement of the game that attracted much attention in the gaming industry - "World of Warcraft". At the same time, offline channels officially opened the first-generation version of "World of Warcraft" for 19.9 US dollars, 39.9 US dollars and

Great gift package for US$199.9.

Among them, the ordinary gift package of US$19.9 includes a DVD version of the "World of Warcraft" client, a character doll with a height of less than 10 centimeters, and an additional 1% chance of testing an account.

The premium gift package for US$39.9 also includes a 1x1 meter map of Azeroth and a random doll. Of course, for premium accounts

The luxury gift package worth US$199.9 is even more exaggerated. In addition to everything included in the high-end gift package, it also includes a panda hand version. Of course, the 30 cm high panda hand version is not enough to show the luxury gift package.

value. Therefore, this naive panda will appear in the game as a test account and an additional pet.

As for Ning Zimo's sister Zhang Junya, when her character wanders around in the game, this panda pet, which is limited to 199 copies for the four major servers, will often appear around her.

"World of Warcraft Europe, World of Warcraft America, World of Warcraft Asia, World of Warcraft Planting Flowers, there are 199 in each of the four major test servers, which is 150,000 US dollars. Plus 10,000 sets of high-end gift packs, this is another 400,000 in income. Also

There are 100,000 sets of ordinary gift packages priced at 19.9 US dollars. World of Warcraft just released this batch of clients and earned 255,000. You are indeed a big profiteer."

When Chen Shijun's voice floated faintly from the earphones, Ning Zimo curled his lips disdainfully, "Not giving the channel dealers a share? If World of Warcraft relies on selling these things, will it starve to death!?"

After a pause, Ning Zimo said, "One month inside, and then three months of open beta. It will not be until October 1 this year that "World of Warcraft" will be officially launched globally. With the current limit of 10,000 people per server

Come to think of it, October of this year is the day when World of Warcraft will start making money globally."

One of the reasons why Blizzard was acquired was to provide a reliable endorsement for the e-sports industry. After all, Blizzard has a great reputation and has many e-sports games, so it is very suitable to play this endorsement role.

The second reason is, of course, Blizzard's "World of Warcraft", which makes money.

You must know that according to the statistics of the previous life in 2018, World of Warcraft, which had gone through 15 years at that time, had already earned a total of 50 billion US dollars in revenue, and the vast majority of this was achieved before 2010.

Ning Zimo has so many projects in his hands, which one will not require a lot of money burning in the following years? How can he survive without the supply of a cash cow?

Instead of leaving the task of making money to Zhu Jun and Ding Sanshi, they should take it into their own hands and use it to do something with more long-term significance.

Anyway, by making money from games and then using the game ecosystem to feed back the money, Ning Zimo felt that he had no psychological burden at all.

"Hey, you have planned it all this morning!"

"Of course...fuck, retreat quickly~~There will be a lot of murlocs in a moment!!!" Ning Zimo said while maneuvering the character to retreat with quick eyes and hands.

In less than 10 seconds, Chen Shijun, Zhang Junya and Pan Yu, who were unable to react quickly, fell into a pool of blood under the siege of a large group of murlocs. The murlocs who killed them were unwilling to step on their bodies.

Only Ning Zimo and Sima Lin were left hiding in the distance, standing on the hillside unharmed and wagging their tails.

Ning Zimo turned his head and gave Sima Lin a thumbs up. He had to admire how quickly this girl got started and how obedient she was.

Unlike Chen Shijun, a rookie, in just a short time, the fish-man train has already started running twice!

Doesn't he know that among the top ten novice killers in "World of Warcraft", murlocs are at the top?

Oh, he really doesn't know.

Because this is the first day on the inside.

"You really are a picky person!"

"Ah...I don't want to play anymore. The screen is so black that I feel numb. Although this game is interesting, it is also too difficult to play. I might as well play StarCraft."

""Star", you want Ning to play two games with you?"

"...I'm done, I'm going to continue to trouble Google." Before he could finish his words, Chen Shijun, who had been teased by Pan Yu for two rounds, exited the game.

Ning Zi smiled silently and stopped provoking this guy.

World of Warcraft uses built-in voice chat technology. This technology is provided by Feixun Technology led by Zhuang Zhanpeng. For this, Blizzard also charged 1 million technical service fees. Zhuang Zhanpeng is still dormant. Recently, his main focus is on

He and Chen Shijun were studying YouTube's voice and video compression technology. The two of them are now on a good team, but a team is only allowed to have five positions, otherwise Zhuang Zhanpeng should also join in the fun.

Ring ring ring~~

The phone rang suddenly, Ning Zimo glanced at it and it turned out to be Li Ying calling.

When he picked up the phone, he turned his hand and gently tugged on his sister Junya's ponytail, "Go to bed quickly. You are not allowed to skip class tomorrow."

"I told you that I'm not skipping class today, but that I really don't have any class."

Zhang Junya wrinkled her nose when she quit the game, stood up, waved her hand and walked away.

Sima Lin stood up after her, but gently said to Ning Zimo, "You should also go to bed early."

At this time, Li Ying's voice happened to come from the phone that had just been connected.

The two voices intertwined, making Ning Zimo feel a little dazed for a moment.

In just a few seconds, Sima Lin, who had said hello with a smile, had disappeared from his sight.

"Hey, it's already this hour, and you and your girlfriend haven't rested yet?"

Li Ying's teasing voice came from Ning Zimo's phone again.

Ning Zimo suddenly felt that he was as big as two people!
