Virtual World: Close Combat Mage

"Can these guys give us less trouble?" All the staff at Parallel World Company cried. Especially the technical department. After just solving the technical problem of overcrowding in the dungeon of Cloud City, a team of extraordinary people once again created a bigger technical problem, which made the staff of the parallel world deeply feel that it is not worth working a job to make a profit. How difficult it is.

"Notify all the staff to get up and come over to work overtime!!" That night, the phone calls of all employees in the game company were buzzing, and the extremely outrageous names were heard loud and clear, letting every staff member know how powerful they were. How many people were awakened from their deep sleep, and when faced with the question of their young children, "Daddy, what are you doing so late at night?", they responded in a daze: "It's very outrageous!"

"What will be done about it?" The lower-level staff were talking a lot. At this time, the online players in the game had begun to move towards the clouds and Yueye City, while the upper levels were still meeting to discuss how to deal with the matter. It's tragic to say that the hot news on the forum happened during the busiest period of the day on the Internet, so the news spread very widely, so the players who knew the news stopped going offline that night and started to travel under the stars.

The decision-makers came up with plans very quickly. First of all, we firmly rejected the idea of ​​contacting extremely unfavorable players again and negotiating with them to resolve the issue. Game companies always compromise with players like this, and not most of them, just a very small one, how can they save face?

"This time, we must use technology to solve this problem." The big boss laid down the general policy.

"Technical solution, combined with reality. In fact, it is not too difficult." At this time, a think tank began to offer suggestions, controlled the projector, and a huge map appeared on the screen. Of course, everyone here knew that this was a parallel world game map full picture.

"Please see, everyone, the two cities of Yunnan and Yueye are exactly at the southwest corner of the entire parallel world. With the distance between the two cities in our game, in this night alone, nearly 85% of the players in the main city will not be able to Relying on two legs to reach the two cities on the cloud and moon. And these 85% of the main city players can only use the teleportation scroll. I think we first control the teleportation scroll technically, and the majority of the number has been controlled. ." The think tank analyzed.

"Have all the teleportation scrolls been locked?" someone asked.

"Perhaps it can be done more tactfully, for example, temporarily locking email delivery." The think tank said.

"Mail delivery?"

The think tank confidently drew signs on the map and said: "If other main cities want to teleport to the main city of Yunduan Yueye at a fixed point, the scroll in their hands must have the coordinates of these two cities. Just imagine that these players from the outer cities want to have the coordinates of these two cities. At least you have to send the scroll in your hand to ask a friend to help make the coordinates, or buy the coordinate scroll from merchants, studios, etc. in the two cities of Yun Yue Ye. Therefore, locking the email is equivalent to controlling whether they want to go to Yun Yue Ye. A two-city move.

"

"That's right!" People who didn't understand suddenly understood.

"That's it, lock the email right away and make up a random reason. Do it now." The boss immediately agreed. A lot of time has passed from watching the forum being lively, to breaking the news, to discovering that players were not even offline and starting to flow to these two cities, to gathering people to quickly discuss a solution. According to the data from the monitoring team, the number of people in the two cities of Cloud Moon and Night has begun to surge at this time. Obviously, it is impossible for the main city that is too far away to reach the moonlit night in the clouds. Players also know this simple truth, so the players in this distant place originally thought about the idea of ​​teleporting the scroll. Those that are readily available are now basically available, and those that are not readily available are looking for ways to acquire them. The most depressing ones are those who have no money, so they will look for friends to raise funds. One scroll can teleport four people, so one person can carry one fourth of the teleportation, and the burden can be much lighter.

"No matter what, the peak of players in the two cities on Cloud Moon Night is unavoidable. I think the two main cities need to load the servers quickly to distribute the load." The think tank suggested.

"Is there a backup server?" the boss asked.

"Yes, yes," someone answered.

"How long does it take?" the boss asked.

"If everything goes well, half an hour! But the connection will definitely be cut off in half an hour." The person in charge replied.

"I think..." Someone else spoke, "As the number of people increases, the server cannot handle it and delays occur, which players will also feel. At this time, we take the opportunity to cut off the connection and announce the real reason. It will be resolved in half an hour. Players will It must be understandable.”

"Okay." The boss nodded.

"So how many servers are loaded in each city?"

"How many backup servers are there?" the boss asked.

"Twenty units." replied.

"Why so few?" The boss frowned.

"This is all to deal with temporary failures. I didn't expect to have to deal with such an emergency. This kind of thing is updated quickly, so the quantity was deliberately controlled from the beginning. This is what you signed." The subordinate reminded.

"Twenty units are enough. At present, the number of players in each main city is still too early for the server to be fully loaded. If these guys hadn't spread their movement all over the world, and it was only between three or two main cities, there would be no need for us to work."

"Just in case, there are ten servers in each city, use them all!" the boss said.

"Understood."

"Any more questions?" the boss asked.

"What should be our stance on this dispute?" Someone asked the boss for instructions.

"Continue to provide services, and don't get caught up in the topic when there is no topic pointing to us." The boss seems to have already thought clearly.

Parallel World Game Company is also very efficient. The top management is holding meetings while making decisions downwards. At the end of the meeting, the mail locking work was completed. The announcement on the official website did not mention anything related to this incident. It only said that the data was a bit abnormal and it was suspected of a Trojan horse attack. The mail service was suspended. The items, letters, and money in the mail would be completely retained. , please players to rest assured.

Such an announcement did not become the focus of players' attention at first. It was not until a large number of players who engaged in teleportation scrolls reached this stage of the transaction that they discovered that there was nothing in the mailbox, just such an email sent by the system. After looking at the official website, I discovered that this announcement was exactly the same as the content of the email in the game.

Everyone was in an uproar. Although the official position has not been clearly stated, there is no doubt that at this time, there was a sudden mailbox failure for monitoring. These players who had finally been able to go to the two cities of Yueyueyue in the cloud were all angry. In an instant, there was a new target of attack on the forum. The boss also said, "Don't get caught up in the topic when there is no topic pointing at us." As a result, the email was immediately attacked as soon as it was locked...

No one at the game company thought of it. The busiest thing that night turned out to be the customer service department. The phone was ringing continuously, emails were received one after another, and complaint posts were posted on the forum one after another.

"Isn't there something wrong with locking emails..." Some people already felt guilty, and the think tank who came up with the idea was sweating. He underestimated the player's consciousness. Even if the player did not think of the purpose of this move, this incident only blocked everyone's financial path. No matter what your true purpose is, they will still step on you. The customer service manager looked at him angrily at this time. It is said that four customer service ladies on his side have been scolded and cried by players.

"Crazy, everyone is crazy..." someone said in a daze.

At this time, the first group of players migrating on foot had reached the end point. It can be seen from the map that Yunduan City is closer to the corner than Yueye City. For the world continent, Yueye City is the closer choice. Even if many major cities want to go to Yunduan City, Yueye City will become a transit station. At this time, Yueye City has focused on more players than Cloud City, and some people are even not ready to move on.

There are people everywhere in Moonlight City and outside the city! The network delay that has disappeared from online games for several years has finally appeared, and in holographic mode, players have a whole new experience. Every player has mastered teleportation. The scenes in his sight are always reincarnating. What he said just now, he actually heard it again the next second. Where did the sound come from? have no idea……

Amid the panic, the system announcement appeared without any delay: the server is overloaded and will stop working soon. Players please pay attention to the official homepage.

Ten seconds later, players in Yueyue City were collectively cut off from the Internet. Everyone rushed to the homepage and saw the announcement prepared by the game. This announcement didn't cause too much noise, for real reasons. Players can indeed understand it. More importantly, the game promised to solve the problem within half an hour, which made players relax and wait. Facts have proved that the game parties in the parallel world are relatively honest in their operations.

The ones who are more unhappy are the indigenous players in Moon Night City. Because as far as they know, Wei Tian is obviously a guild in Yunduan City, and it was them who caused this situation to happen, but how did it end up causing them to be disconnected in Yueye City? What does this mean?

The temporary shutdown of the server did not cause an uproar*, but the mailbox problem still needs to be solved. It's been more than an hour since the announcement was made, and players are still coming to complain and curse in high spirits. Three more girls from the customer service department ran to the bathroom crying.

"Additional announcement: Mailbox monitoring is also based on responsibility for players. Otherwise, if the data is destroyed by an attack, the players' interests will also be lost, so the mailbox is locked." The boss instructed, and the secretary quickly recorded it. Of course, what the boss said was what he meant. The official announcement needs to be polished. Kind words such as "Please forgive me, player" and "Not having an email address does not affect the normal progress of the game. I wish everyone a happy game" are still needed.

After this announcement, the players became a little quieter. Many players who calmed down began to ask how long it would take to solve the problem, hoping for a clear answer.

Therefore, the official answer is that since it is an external attack, the time cannot be estimated. Please pay attention to the latest announcement...

Everything is in line with the saying: if you tell a lie, you need countless lies to cover it up. The game company found an excuse to lock the mailbox, and now has to continue lying to get a patch. More importantly, with the aggressive momentum of so many players, it seems that this locked mailbox cannot be used continuously, and it is better to find another way. The upper management sat together nervously again.

Among the players who condemned the mailbox incident, there are many eternal comrades. He summoned the thugs to communicate through the mailbox. He was preparing to deal with the piled up mails at once, but he didn't expect that when he went there, he received such a system mail, which made him furious.

Then they realized that since their mailbox was locked, they couldn't go to the Cloud and Moon Night cities at all. They didn't even have the teleportation scroll for the coordinates of the two cities on hand! Although there is a studio there, the mail is currently blocked. I can't deliver it if I have it.

Of course, Yingqi also knew about the extremely outrageous news that they were going to throw away their equipment, and Geshiqi Ying was furious. He didn't expect these guys to be so calm, and not be moved at all with so many equipment scrolls? Perhaps each of them kept a little for themselves, but they were determined enough to give up most of it, which was undoubtedly a very smart move. This move easily silenced all the players. Now no one cares about who is right and who is wrong in the battle between Wei Nitian and Yingqi.

What's even more terrible is that this Yingqi hand is absolutely impossible to copy. Although they had more supplies on hand, they were the ones who were thrown away because they were Yingqi's goods. Now they take it out and throw it away with them, and continue to feel distressed? What's more, you throw it away and I throw it away, what is this picture? Can a very unnatural person be killed by just throwing it like this? Yingqi had no reason to throw Feidan away, and more importantly, it could not prove anything except that he was mentally retarded.

"Shameless! It's so shameless!!" Ge Shiqiying was so angry that he gritted his teeth and sent a message to Yongyuan: "Go to Yunduan City immediately. If you meet someone who is very unfaithful, kill him. Kill him to death!!!"

"Can't go." Forever replied sadly.

"Why!!"

"The mailbox is locked now, and you can't get the teleportation scroll." Yong said.

"I..." Ge Shiqiying couldn't even curse. He felt that he was really rebellious. Why did so many bad things that were not good for him happen at the same time?

"How about asking you to get some people here?" Ge Shiqiying asked.

"The mailbox is locked!"

"Does this require an email address? Can't you change your contact information? Go to the bulletin and leave your ID and open your friends! If not, leave your phone number, your QQ, and your email address!! ! Don’t you know how to do this?” Ge Shiqiying roared. In fact, he has never spoken so rudely to these players since he hired the Eagle Group as a personal guard. This time he was angry, really angry. .

Always sensible, he simply replied "I'll do it" and disappeared.

"**...How could it be like this..." Ge Shiqiying felt more and more that the development of things was too far away from what he had imagined. He didn't know if he could win back the city.

At this time, Yunduan City seemed to be very peaceful because Yueye City had become their cover, except that there were obviously more players in the wild on the streets.

These players all arrived in Cloud City through teleportation before the mailbox was unlocked. Their number was not enough to cause network congestion in Cloud City, but the increase in the flow of people was obvious. This is different from when players gather in the same place during city wars. These increased players are also moving around freely like normal people, making Cloud City appear very vibrant.

It's very unbelievable and very busy at this time. Countless players are trying their best to get in touch with them, and then ask for the inside story of losing equipment tomorrow, especially those who have come from thousands of miles away. It would be shameful to return empty-handed, so they must get something anyway! Especially those friends from other places who are very strong players feel that they have an advantage at this time.

But it is a pity that the participants in this operation are only their core members. Other than that, they are all the manpower of Brother Yun Zhongmu. Although others know about such things, they actually have nothing to do with other players. The difference is that at this time, I am even thinking about going out early tomorrow to pick up equipment.

As a member of my own guild, it is really unbearable to say that I am treated like this. However, Ji Tianni has already digested this problem very well internally. Sword Demon went to Yun Xiang yesterday and dealt with this problem properly. Otherwise, the entire plan is not even explained to the guild members, which is really sad. After fully knowing the whole story, the extremely unfaithful player no longer had any objections and continued to do what he should do. However, it was troublesome to have friends join in at this time. If they said they didn't know, they wouldn't believe it at all. In the end, everyone was a little embarrassed. But everyone is mentally prepared for this situation, and they have a clear conscience anyway.

"It's a lot more lively..." Mr. Han stood at the door of the tavern quite depressed at this time. He was not afraid of the excitement. What bothered him was that there were so many people that there was no room left in the tavern. This was already the seventh time he had left. The tavern was still overcrowded. From this point on, Mr. Han regretted making such a plan.

"That's good. The connection over at Yueyue City has been suspended due to too many people." Brother You said.

"It seems that everyone is paying close attention to our operation." Mr. Han said.

"But I'm afraid what we have in hand can't satisfy so many people, right?" Brother You said.

"Of course, compared to so many players, this amount of supplies is too small." Young Master Han said.

"About how many of those things are there? Did Yunteng tell you?"

"It's about one-fifteenth of the supplies in Yingqi Studio." Young Master Han said.

"That's a lot!" Brother You's eyes widened. At that time, they couldn't even move half of the warehouse, but they didn't expect that they could actually get one-fifteenth. From this, Ge Shiqiying said in an interview with Xi Xiaotian The argument about supplies is very watery.

"Hey, where are you going?" After Brother You said this, he found that the young master of the Han family beside him had disappeared. When he turned around, he saw that this guy had left without saying a word.

"Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, I was also touched. I decided to take a rest now and come back early tomorrow to deliver the goods to everyone." Young Master Han waved his hand and said without looking back.

"Is that so? Isn't it because there is no place to drink?" Brother You muttered.

=================================

Goods will be sold out tomorrow. Hey, if you hold a monthly pass, there is a chance of being hit by the goods. Hurry up and get your monthly pass (!)
