Reborn in 1991, helping dad become the richest man

Chapter 470: Hot! The server is overwhelmed!

May 1st.

On this day, Manchester United, the team of the British Empire, won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the European Champions Cup respectively, creating the myth of the "Triple Crown".

At the same time, this day is also the beginning of the domestic short holiday.

In addition, Legend of Mir 2 officially launched its public beta test early this morning, more than two years ahead of its original release date.

To this end, Legend of Mir 2 promoted online and offline for half a month.

Advertising investment exceeds 20 million.

However, when the server was launched that night, the number of people entering the game was actually not that many compared to the advertising investment.

At 18 minutes, there were only 30,000 people online at the same time, and after half an hour, there were only 40,000 people online at the same time.

Then at one o'clock, an hour after the server was opened, it almost broke through 50,000.

If calculated based on current results, it would take almost 400 yuan in advertising revenue to get a free game player.

If viewed from a normal business perspective, this business cannot be considered successful at all.

But this isn't traditional business.

This is an industry based on the emerging platform of the Internet.

In this era, there are many Internet companies that spend money to buy traffic but cannot see any profit points, and four hundred yuan for one traffic is expensive.

But one important reason you cannot ignore is that the game is launched at midnight.

This time is not very friendly.

But this time only one region was prepared.

If it is opened during the day and too many people come in at once, it will be a real test for the game.

In order to move, the character may have to use a knife to cut a path from the safe zone to the monster spawning point.

Tang Yichen never underestimated the impact of tens of millions of dollars in advertising. Especially since today was a short holiday, everyone had some free time.

Therefore, the server is opened in the early morning, and some people are allowed to play first. When these people can no longer handle it during the day, another group of people will come in to play the game in a staggered manner.

Even so, there will definitely be hardcore players who start playing tonight and will still be online tomorrow, and they may even bully new players.

But this is harmless. Instead, it can make these players feel a little frustrated and make them pay more attention to the opening time of the new area under the main area when they enter the game.

When it comes to a new game, especially one with an upgrade flow, many people will inevitably feel regretful and annoyed because they have been playing the game for less time than others.

Opening a new area is not only to divert traffic, but also to give the player a chance to start again and fight.

Of course, in fact, for the old area, in this game, it is nothing to enter ten days or half a month later.

This game doesn't calculate levels by month, but it's basically the same later on.

In that case, even if you are in the same zone ten days or half a month later, the level gap can be eliminated by the experience required for higher levels and everyone will be back on the same starting line, allowing the game to shift from being based on levels to being more dependent on skills and equipment.

Of course, these are digressions.

Right now, in the old Tang family villa.

It was a little after two in the morning, and Tang Yichen felt helpless as he looked at his game character that had just been upgraded to level three.

He worked really hard.

But after more than two hours, that's all it could do.

You can imagine that killing a chicken to complete a task requires not only hand speed but also luck.

It is necessary that when you chop, you can determine that the last blow belongs to you.

Because the wild is full of people, there are more people than monsters, and a refresh point is full of warriors waiting to kill chickens.

When a chicken comes out, just attack with a few wooden swords or fists.

That night, the average survival time of the chickens in the Legend Novice Village, over the past two hours, has definitely not exceeded two seconds.

From this, we can also see the difficulty of upgrading. Although it only takes 100 experience points to upgrade to level one, killing a few chickens is enough to reach level two.

But I can’t grab it!

Moreover, it is not just a problem of too many people competing for the monsters, but also because the characters have just been born.

There are no medicines and no gold coins, but there are still players who are so shameless as to attack others for no reason, and there are quite a few of them.

The game has just started, and many players are not very interested in it yet. They do not take the PK penalties in the game seriously, and there are many cases of players just raising their fists to fight.

In the huge novice village, red names can be seen everywhere.

The gaming environment is terrible.

Of course, this does not affect players' love for the game. On the contrary, this free and violent aesthetic makes it more attractive to current players.

In reality, you can't play like this.

There are legal and moral constraints, as well as various other visible and invisible constraints.

The evil in everyone's heart is suppressed.

But now, there is no need for suppression in the game.

This game really allows everyone to unleash their true nature. Just chop whatever you want.

Whether it is a human or a monster.

Of course, if you can't chop the opponent down and are being chopped down, you can only curse.

It is very addictive. Whether it is PK, upgrading, exploding equipment, or exchanging meat for gold coins, the game mode is attracting all kinds of players to enter the game.

Tang Yichen controlled the game character back to the safe zone, and then Tang Yichen went offline.

Although Tang Yichen still wanted to fight again, it was too late.

He is still young and his body needs to develop, so he can't stay up late.

You can play during the day if you want.

What's more, this is not the first time Tang Yichen has played this, so he is not as addicted as those who are new to the game.

However, even so, Tang Yichen still dreamed of himself killing everyone in the game when he slept at night.

"Mr. Tang, you're here!"

After Tang Xionghua arrived at the Tang family headquarters at around eight o'clock in the morning, he went directly to the legendary game floor.

As soon as I entered the office, the vice president of the gaming company, a young man transferred from Xiongchen, hurried over to say hello.

"Are you still off work?" Tang Xionghua asked with a smile.

He Zhifu said with a smile, his eyes red and swollen: "Mr. Tang, the game has just been launched. Even if you put a pillow under my head, I can't sleep at this time!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Tang Xionghua also patted his shoulder with a smile, and then he didn't need to ask.

He Zhifu began to report on what happened that night and the latest situation.

"Mr. Tang, the peak number of concurrent online users last night was over 58,300. This figure was reached at 4:31 a.m. The growth rate slowed down after 1 a.m., and after 4:31 a.m., it began to decline slightly, but the decline was not obvious.

It was not until six o'clock that a large-scale decline began. At that moment, the number of people online at the same time was halved to 28,000.

This is probably due to the fact that the Internet cafes outside have an all-night closing time of 6 o'clock.

Although it continued to decline afterwards, especially at 7 o'clock, it even fell below 20,000.

But this should also be affected by the disembarkation.”

At this point, He Zhifu was afraid that Tang Xionghua didn't understand the situation, so he explained a little more: "Mr. Tang, as far as I know, in our country, Internet cafes offer discounts for all-night bookings, and they are very cost-effective. So basically, people who go online at night keep them open all night, and the end time for all-night bookings is usually six or seven in the morning!"

"Ok!"

Tang Xionghua nodded.

Tang Xionghua has never been to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet in his life.

However, he knew that Internet cafes had activities like overnight stays, as well as the general situation of Internet cafes.
