There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

in-game.

Shadow Valley.

Jiang Lun looked at the players all over the mountains and plains, and was numb for a while.

It took me a while to build my mind before I slowed down.

But let's be honest.

Although I really want to complain, but you said that seeing so many players, you just feel outrageous and want to complain, that is a lie.

One of the most important attributes of MMORPG is also social.

For online games like this, the more people play, the more excited most players will be.

Few players would be offended by too many people in an online game.

Because where are the attributes of online games.

There is a situation that will cause headaches for many players.

That is when some buyout games, such as "Rainbow Six" in Lin Yao's previous life, are free for the week.

Because the influx of too many new players will break the original ecology, and the entire game environment will be hit.

At this time, there are too many players, which is not a good thing.

Just like Lin Yao killed a teammate after playing ten rounds of "Rainbow Six"... This is not a good experience for both teammates and opponents.

But this situation cannot be applied to "World of Warcraft". After all, the game is only in public beta, players are all on the same starting line, and the ecology has not yet been established.

Let alone broken.

There are a little more people in "World of Warcraft" now, but it's lively!

Apart from complaining, Jiang Lun was actually quite excited to see so many players.

Therefore, Jiang Lun smiled, and quickly cheered up. He also jumped on the spot, familiarized himself with the operation, and ran to the NPC not far away with an exclamation mark.

The NPC's name is 'Administrator Ilsaline'.

Jiang Lun squeezed through a group of players, then clicked on the NPC, and received his first mission in the game.

The initial task is called "Natural Balance", and there is no long story to explain the background of the story.

very simple.

The entire task description can be briefly summarized as follows - due to the continuous spring rains this year, some animals in the Shadow Valley have over-proliferated. For the sake of natural balance, the number of some animals needs to be reduced.

The mission requirement is to require players to kill seven leopard cubs and four wild boar cubs.

easy to understand.

After Jiang Lun received the task, he got acquainted with his Druid skills again.

Active output skills, only one [anger].

After reading the introduction,

Jiang Lun immediately turned his head and couldn't wait to try it.

have to say.

The home of the night elves, it's really beautiful.

Even at birth.

The undulating hilly landform, when the perspective is zoomed in, every time you go to a high point, you can see different scenery.

If you get closer, you can see the green grass on the ground, and the small crimson or lavender flowers hidden in the straight grass.

And a little farther away, you can see the towering giant trees covered with stars and the low trees with red and purple leaves.

Looking around, the main color of the entire map is always purple, set off by light and shadow.

The eye-catching scenery is just like the night elves, full of mystery.

certainly.

All of the above.

You have to ignore the players to feel...

Because there are really too many people.

No matter how beautiful the picture is, plus a bunch of players bouncing around like the ground is burning their feet, it will become very sandy.

and.

Jiang Lun realized a very serious problem...

Although the task is for him to kill wild boar and leopard cubs.

But if you look around, where are the wild boars and leopards—oh, occasionally you can see one, but almost every refresh will be surrounded by a bunch of people.

It was gone almost instantly.

Because everyone can't play.

Jiang Lun witnessed with his own eyes that a wild boar cub was born.

Then seven or eight green rays of anger skills flew over.

And after the wild boar fell to the ground.

A bunch of players immediately crowded around excitedly.

See who has pickup rights to monster drops.

Just like locusts...

It's just unbelievable...

at the same time.

integrated channel.

The words sent by the players are scrolling crazily.

"Fuck! Don't snatch the wild boar! It seems that I was the first to hit it! How come I got closer and saw that it wasn't me!"

"Pig! I'm only one head short! Give me some face! Don't snatch it!"

"The scenery is so beautiful..."

"Ah - which idiot is jumping off the building!?"

Jiang Lun: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Jiang Lun glanced at his mission and thought of the natural balance that the NPC just said.

I really can't help but complain.

This NM is called natural balance! ?

Wild boars and leopards are almost extinct, right?

Jiang Lun was a little dumbfounded.

In the past, he read some online game novels, saying that Xinshou Village wanted to rob monsters, and he thought it was a bit outrageous.

But today.

He has personally experienced that when the number of players reaches a certain level, the novice monsters really want to grab...

Jiang Lun sighed a little, and then joined the monster-hunting queue.

Start a battle of wits with other players.

But it is really too difficult.

But it's okay.

Probably Linmu Workshop also knew the current situation. After fighting for a while, Jiang Lun clearly realized that the spawning speed of novice monsters had increased.

Then, when he was performing a small theater in his brain just now, many players with clear goals had already completed the novice tasks, diverting some people away.

So although the novice monster still has to grab it.

But he was done anyway.

Jiang Lun killed the last leopard cub, and immediately rushed back to the initial NPC, handed in the old mission, and then received the new mission.

Then, Jiang Lun walked a few steps according to the prompt.

I found the destination of the new mission - Alda Hill.

On the thick tree trunk like a giant, the house is built in midair. Outside the house, there are light white stairs spiraling up to the top floor.

There are still many players here.

Countless players are running around on the light white stairs, and there are sand sculptures performing somersaults on it...

The corner of Jiang Lun's mouth twitched again, and then turned over again... and then walked up the stairs.

The long, wide pale white staircase seemed endless.

Go up to the first floor.

The scenery has changed.

The line of sight suddenly opened up.

Jiang Lun couldn't help but stop.

The violet roof hidden in the jungle mist appeared in front of his eyes. Nearby were the curvaceous corner arches, while in the distance, huge tree trunks covered the sky and were shrouded in misty mist.

It's really beautiful!

Jiang Lun looked at the distance and couldn't help but stop at the same time.

Suddenly an idea popped up, he wanted to put the matter of leveling aside for a while, and wanted to go and have a look around first!

The name of the game is "World of Warcraft".

The focus is on 'world'.

From the current point of view, the quality of the game is really worthy of the word world.

At least the race of night elves he had chosen, and where they lived, had impressed him.

Even if it was just Teldrassil, he could feel the unique culture of the night elves, and even had an elegant and mysterious impression of the night elves as a whole.

Are other places like this?

Jiang Lun was suddenly curious.

But soon.

He was interrupted by the sand sculpture player.

A player suddenly jumped down from the top of the stairs, performing a leap of faith.

"What kind of sand sculpture is this!"

Jiang Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After cursing, he looked away and continued to find the task NPC druid trainer.

Then submitted the task of 'Green Symbol'.

then

The skill learning panel was picked out.

Druids seem to be divided into factions, balance the three skills of the faction, and restore the two skills of the faction.

Jiang Lun carefully looked at the skill description, and then learned a mark of the beast that can be learned so far. After watching the scenery for a while, he went down to continue killing wild boars and leopards.

Yes.

'Natural Balance' has a follow-up mission.

It's just that instead of killing cubs this time, they killed adult leopards and wild boars.

After killing the small ones, kill the big ones.

It's crazy!

By the current number of players.

Really going extinct...

Jiang Lun complained again, and then wandered around while avoiding places with many players.

While looking for wild monsters, enjoy the scenery by the way.

He wasn't impatient, it was a surprise to have monsters, and he was very happy to see the scenery without monsters.

Because there are new discoveries every time, and you can see new scenery as you walk!

The map is huge.

But the details are everywhere!

And for the first time, he also felt the gap between Tianhu and Linmu Studio.

Tianhu... It's really not wrong to lose.

He is also considered a veteran player of "Shen Ge", but this feeling that he would give up quickly completing the task in the early stage, whether playing "Shen Ge" or playing other MMORPGs under Tianhu, has never happened.

"It's so beautiful..."

Jiang Lun stood still, then adjusted his perspective to look at the surrounding scenery for a while.

Just sighed.

Next to it, a rambunctious night saber has spawned.

He immediately withdrew his mind, and came up with an 'anger'...

Jiang Lun stopped and stopped like this, and after half an hour, he finally killed enough monsters and ran to submit the task.

Then, he finally made it to level three.

According to the task reminder, Jiang Lun returned to Aldassil, the most spectacular building in Shadow Valley.

Only this time, instead of going up the pale white stairs to find the druid trainer, he came to the first floor.

Step onto the platform.

Then, the semi-enclosed space under the trunk and the living tree appeared in front of his eyes.

It was an open hall with a very high dome.

And go further inside, there is still a hole in the sky.

The night elves even opened a room inside the trunk. The ground is the stump, and the tree rings on it are clearly visible.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Lun suddenly thought of Elder Dekushu in "The Legend of Zelda".

"Did they really make a world?"

Jiang Lun turned around, and then talked to a few NPCs, and his desire to go around and see the scenery became stronger.

After thinking about it, he found an NPC, sold the materials dropped by fighting monsters, and bought a set of 'cool spring water' and three or four 'bean soup'.

Then go straight out to pick up the task.

Just do it.

He is going to visit Shadow Valley first.

This time, Jiang Lun received two missions. One mission was 'good friend', which required him to find a friend for the NPC near the cave in the north of Shadow Valley, and the other mission was 'Forest Guardian', which required him to find the Dryad.

On the way, he received another task of 'bring back the poisonous sac of the forest spider'.

All three tasks require him to go out.

This is exactly what Jiang Lun meant.

So after finishing everything, he immediately embarked on the journey excitedly.

On the way.

Jiang Lun opened the map and looked at it, and found that the Shadow Valley he was in, not to mention the world map, even on Teldrassil, was just a corner...

He didn't know where the goal of the mission was, so he began to explore the map centered on the village of Aldrassil.

behind the village.

Jiang Lun saw a moon-white small lake with ripples and silver light like snowflakes sprinkled on the water.

Although the water is clear, it is so deep that the bottom of the lake cannot be seen.

In the north, Jiang Lun went all the way, found the NPC of the good friend mission, and also found a map named Heisi Cave.

Players come and go.

At the entrance of the cave, several spiders the size of human heads were on their feet, and the corpses seemed to have not had time to refresh.

After entering the black silk cave, the passages extend in all directions.

Although it is just a picture of a novice village, it has a sense of depth that is not found in the main cities of many games of the same type.

Jiang Lun was here to fight monsters with a group of players, and then completed the task of 'bring back the poisonous sac of the forest spider' and learned the new skill Moonfire.

During the period, he met the NPC of the task of "Forest Guardian"...

Jiang Lun is like this, while sightseeing, while upgrading, while completing the task.

Ran the entire Shadow Valley.

Then, after finally receiving the task of leaving the village, he impatiently followed the path of Shadow Valley and walked out of Shadow Valley located in the valley.

Start looking for more surprises and scenery!

But after searching and searching, in the end...he didn't even care about the task.

In the southeast of Shadow Valley, Jiang Lun saw the once peaceful Starwind Village, which is now the lair of furbolgs. Although there are many monsters, the gazebo in the middle of the village is still bathed in the eternal moonlight, and the scenery is beautiful.

Going further, he saw Dolanar, a night elf village located in the middle of the island. In the moonwell of Dolanar, a clear blue light floated and drifted like dense smoke.

Going forward and going up, above the island is a place called Oracle Woodland, where the trees are dense and taller and taller, and nearby, there is a place called Yongquan River Estuary, where there is a waterfall, Jiang Lun stayed there for a while, looking at the purple water splashed by the waterfall, looking at the curvy root system on the ground of different thicknesses, covering all the surface space, and sighed.

Then, back on the road.

Along the main road, Jiang Lun saw the largest and most spectacular city of the night elves, located on the branches of Teldrassil, the capital hidden in the towering giant tree - Darnassus!

it's here.

For the first time, Jiang Lun felt that the fantasy was so close to him. The moment he saw the city, he directly exclaimed.

"Fuck!"

Then, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, he ran around, and looked at the city that was integrated with nature, and sighed frequently.

Yes.

He left all his missions behind, and when he walked out of Shadow Valley, he temporarily put aside his missions and only cared about sightseeing.

And the end of this sightseeing trip.

Jiang Lun was really satisfied.

All the way, it's really great!

While sighing, Jiang Lun walked around Darnassus, the capital of the night elves, and talked to NPCs.

And this time, he has almost opened the map of the entire night elf residence, and he also understands the map of Teldrassil.

Throughout Teldrassil, Darnassus occupies the west.

And several smaller cities are scattered in the forest.

There are all kinds of terrain, streams, and great lakes...

It is shrouded in purple mist all year round, locked in eternal dawn.

The night elves living here have their own culture, political system, language, beliefs and resources.

"World of Warcraft……"

Standing in the center of the capital Danasu, Jiang Lun looked around and said with emotion: "It really is the 'world'!! Damn!!! This is still a race of night elves, does this mean that cities of other races Will it be like the city of the night elves? Have a different scenery, different culture, beliefs, and political system?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but open the map and look at it.

Teldrassil, where the night elves live, is just an island.

On the other side of the sea of ​​mist that isolates the islands, there is a new continent - Kalimdor.

Looking at the world map.

Think of the sightseeing trip I just had.

Jiang Lun's heart became hotter.

He wants to see other cities! I want to see the 'World of Warcraft' which is still a cloud of fog!

He wanted to go to Stormwind City to see the capital of mankind, and to see Ironforge that appeared in the promotional video!

He even wants to visit tribal cities, such as the hometown of Alsace!

All in all, he wants to explore this 'world'!

Very strong!

"It's on fire!"

Jiang Lun really ignited, he glanced at the mission log, then turned around and ran away.

He was ready to end his sightseeing and go to complete the tasks left behind.

He wants to upgrade!

In Lin Yao's previous life, Darnassus, known as one of the most memorable cities of Warcraft, stimulated him.

The main city of the night elves, with its own culture, political system, language, beliefs and resources, left a deep impression on him.

This then made him interested in the entire 'World of Warcraft'.

And the whole 'World of Warcraft' is still mysterious and unknown to him.

This represents a huge surprise!

The unknown and huge world feels like an epic story is coming!

Jiang Lun wants to create his own epic!

"I can't go back! I really can't go back! I just bought a one-year point card! The night elf Darnassus! It's really awesome! Damn it! Why didn't Linmu Studio make an MMORPG earlier? ah!"

At this time.

Jiang Lun, who was going out, suddenly passed by several players.

Then.

On the comprehensive channel, such a sentence suddenly jumped out.

Jiang Lun saw it, smiled, stopped, and quickly typed a sentence and sent it to the integrated channel-"Linmu Studio is awesome!!!"

And this sentence has just been sent out.

It seems that many players have seen it.

And quite agreeable.

So next second.

The other players swiped their screens.

Comprehensive channel.

It's all the same sentence.

"Linmu Studio is awesome!!!"

...

at the same time.

North America.

Ohio.

"shit!"

Sibulon sighed and walked into Stormwind City.

On the only access to Stormwind City.

Statues of heroes stand on both sides of the road, as if to greet and warn visitors.

Then, enter the largest human city in Azeroth.

Sibulon is also like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She can't take care of the tasks, and starts to appreciate the largest human city in "World of Warcraft".

The very center of Stormwind City is the trade area.

Half of the city's banks, auction houses, and local griffon keeper are located here.

On the east side of the trade area is the old town, on the west side is the wizard area, on the east side is the dwarf area, and on the north side is the church square.

The whole city is thus divided into areas in an orderly manner, separated by canals and connected by bridges.

Siblon ran all over the city, and finally stopped at the Cathedral Square.

Like Jiang Lun, his first thought was to visit other regions.

I have a strong interest in this unknown and huge world.

"I have a hunch."

Siblon controlled the perspective and looked into the distance: "Other games of the same type are worse, even me, a single-player player, has become very interested in the game after entering the game, let alone those MMORPG players.

The preparations Linmu Studio has made for this game are really great..."

Thoughts so far.

Sibulon suddenly thought of his good brother Mark, who worked in the game media, and was a little curious.

He cuts out of the game, finds Mark, and texts him: "Hey buddy, how much are you going to rate World of Warcraft?"

"Why are you here? How long has the game been in public beta? The score has not yet been determined, and it is still arguing."

Mark's reply came quickly.

"Because someone doesn't like this game?" Sibulon continued to ask curiously.

Mark: "That's not true, the main reason is that our editor-in-chief is a hardcore MMORPG player, and he insists on giving the game ten points now, and wants us to give ten points and corresponding reviews right away, right now...Damn! We just play Played the game for four hours! He wants us to review it!"

Sibulon: "..."

...

that day.

After "World of Warcraft" was launched, the number of concurrent online users has been steadily increasing.

And that night, the domestic prime time.

The total number of servers online in all regions of "World of Warcraft" has finally officially exceeded 10 million!

And at this time, it is less than twelve hours before the game's public beta...

Seeing this number, Lin Yao didn't feel anything but happy.

Because in her previous life, at the peak of "World of Warcraft", there were 13 million players online at the same time, and that was not counted as the national server.

It has only exceeded 10 million now.

The numbers are still rising.

No need to make a fuss.

but.

It's just for her.

For the staff inside Linmu Studio.

This result... can be called groundbreaking.

After all, this game is only open beta!

So the staff of Linmu Studio are very excited.

And for colleagues... not so good.

Lin Mu Studio sent out a screenshot showing that the number of simultaneous online users of "World of Warcraft" exceeded 10 million at exactly nine o'clock.

And nine zero one.

Li Guangsheng hugged his head and began to howl...

And on the screen in front of him, "World of Warcraft" was playing.

The tauren he created was standing stupidly at the gate of Mulgore, the capital of the tauren.

In fact, for him, it is good that the number of simultaneous online users of "World of Warcraft" has exceeded 10 million. After all, Linmu Studio has a good reputation, and he has returned to the field of online games after a long absence. With such achievements, he can accept it.

If the seven-day retention rate of the game does not come out for a day, he can lie to himself, saying that the data will drop sharply after seven days.

But the problem is-

He played a game.

After working as a tauren in Thunder Bluff for half a day, he deeply realized the gap between his MMORPG and "World of Warcraft", which was the reason why he hugged his head and wailed.

I really can't beat it!

I can't even lie to myself!

Next to Li Guangsheng,

Mou Feng was also silent.

He also played the game, and was hit hard, so he can only say that he is willing to bow down.

So this time, he really didn't know what to say.

I don't know how to cheat... I am so young to comfort myself.

at last.

Hold back for a long time.

He could only pat Li Guangsheng on the shoulder, and choked out a sentence: "Why don't you... just play "Diablo" and calm down?"

"--roll!!!"

Li Guangsheng collapsed instantly!

Fuck!

It's not so cruel to kill someone! ?

While the double is still there, ask for some monthly tickets...
