Chapter 469 begins public beta!
Wang Jun is an ordinary rural child who had the same childhood as other people born in the 1980s.
As one of the largest group of people born in the 1980s, he has witnessed the development of the flower-growing industry.
However, in this era, a person with an ordinary background and little education basically does not have many opportunities in the future.
Although we often hear inspirational stories of people who started from scratch in later generations, such stories are only a very small minority among the vast majority of people.
The vast majority of ordinary people are actually still ordinary.
Like him, although he has left the countryside, he only works in an electronics factory in Guangzhou.
Working on the assembly line, eight hours a day, with overtime, I can earn 800 yuan a month.
Of course, for a man who could earn 800 yuan a month at the age of 19 in 1999, his salary was enough to make him feel very happy.
Apart from anything else, during my monthly break, I would go to the Internet cafe near the factory to surf the Internet and drink a bottle of iced cola from the refrigerator.
This kind of life and days made him feel very satisfied.
Today is the last day of April. After work, we can have a three-day holiday without having to work overtime.
So after get off work, he went straight to the Internet cafe.
He recently chatted with a girl in Xiongchen’s circle of friends, so as soon as he got off work, he ran over impatiently.
However, to his disappointment, the message he sent fell on deaf ears and the girl’s profile picture remained grey and never lit up.
Being bored, he could only open the Penguin Games website and start playing Landlord with others.
"Attention, customers of this internet cafe!
Attention all customers of this internet cafe! The Legend of Mir point cards have arrived. If you need them, you can come to me to buy them. Buy one today and you can get a free drink!
At the door of the Internet cafe, the boss suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
"Ok?"
Wang Jun was stunned. A passionate legend?
As an internet user who often comes to internet cafes, he naturally knew about this game, but he heard that he had to pay to play this game, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, now when he goes online, he focuses more on chatting with girls, playing games, and playing Landlord.
Spending money on games? What games are fun to play when you can pick up girls?
What's more, he has already bought a Coke, what else does he want from you?
So he didn't take this situation seriously. He put on his headphones and continued playing Landlord while listening to the music in the game hall.
In fact, the entire Internet cafe was the same as him. Everyone was basically indifferent to the boss's calls.
What kind of crappy game is this? They even charge money!
I won’t drink even if you offer me a drink.
This was the current situation of Legend before the server was launched. Even people in Internet cafes now have already passively learned about this game through various advertisements.
But the game has not been officially launched yet, and no one has played it. No matter how nice your words are, and you want me to spend money now, that is impossible.
However, as time passed, when it was after twelve o'clock.
As everyone couldn't help but feel curious, they clicked on the legendary icon on the desktop that had already been installed in the Internet cafe.
This is not the case.
"Wow, where do all these people come from?"
"Hey, this bastard not only stole my monster, but also dared to hit me. I'll chop you to death!"
"Damn, the equipment I just got was destroyed!"
These days, games are scarce and there aren’t many games for people to play.
Moreover, the legendary publicity allows everyone to watch and listen to it every day.
Everyone is curious. Now this icon is on the desktop, and someone in the Internet cafe is shouting that the Legend server is open.
So, whether it's curiosity or any other mentality.
In short, many people in the Internet cafe still entered the game on time. After all, there is no need to spend money at the beginning, so why not give it a try?
What's more, this game is very considerate and makes it very easy for everyone to log in. You can actually log in directly with a QH Moments account.
So, one after another, they entered the game smoothly.
As these people entered the game, some other people who had not originally intended to play were attracted by the sounds and the game scenes of these people, and could not help but join in.
This is the case with Wang Jun.
At around nine o'clock, the girl he was waiting for came online. They chatted until eleven o'clock. After saying good night to the girl, he continued to play Landlord while adding other girls in Xiongchen's circle of friends.
Prepare to be the king of the sea and catch a few more fish as backup.
But when he saw the people next to him playing the game and shouting loudly, he couldn't help but watch for a few seconds, and then he couldn't hold it in anymore.
Exit Dou Dizhu and click the icon to enter the game.
"Boss Tang, the number of people online at the same time in the game has reached 30,000!"
The old Tang family headquarters, where the legendary studio now occupies a floor. And right now, Tang Xionghua has not returned home.
After hearing the report, Tang Xionghua raised his hand and looked at his watch.
The server has only been open for eighteen minutes.
Thirty thousand people were online at the same time. Although this figure was a bit insufficient compared to the game's publicity investment, it was only eighteen minutes after all.
"Yeah, that's good! Well, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow morning."
"Yes! Mr. Tang, take care!"
In fact, he doesn't need to stay here until a game is released.
After all, it's just a game. No matter how great it is, even as Tang Yichen said, it makes hundreds of millions in annual profit.
But that’s all. For Tang Xionghua now, hundreds of millions a year are really nothing.
The Tang family now has more and more businesses. Even now, when shopping malls in other cities opened under the Wanhua brand, he didn’t go to some of them.
He couldn't be separated, and as the stall grew bigger and bigger, he was alone after all.
It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, and the most important thing is that the Legend Game Company is located in the Tang family’s headquarters building, so it’s close!
So he waited a little longer when his first game was released.
And now, after waiting for eighteen minutes and witnessing the number of people online simultaneously in my game exceed thirty thousand, that’s enough.
back home.
Tang Xionghua walked into the study.
As expected, as soon as the door opened, a voice came from inside.
"Damn, there are so many people here!"
"Fuck, he's stealing my monster again!"
Tang Yichen is also fighting hard in the newly launched Legend.
The only difference is that once the official public beta begins, all internal game data will be deleted. In order to ensure absolute fairness, Tang Yichen naturally cannot ask the game company to give him any special treatment.
After all, Tang Yichen knew very well why Legend became popular and why it declined in the later period.
fair.
This is the true vitality of a game.
The reason why Legend of Mir 2 can still be popular in this era and charge fees is because of its fair mechanism at the beginning.
Apart from point cards, there is absolutely no secondary consumption in the game.
But later, due to greed, the point card system was cancelled and replaced with an online mall model, and Legend became unpopular.
At the same time, why will games like World of Warcraft, League of Legends, CS and even Chicken become popular again in the future?
It's still fair.
All players are the same. Money cannot determine the outcome of a game. Only when technology represents everything can a game become popular.
Of course, Tang Yichen had thought about making Legend follow the example of Xiao Ma Ge in later generations. While taking fairness into consideration, it also attracted more players under the guise of free games and made money by selling skins and other means.
That kind of money can obviously be earned more than point cards.
But in a word, you have to consider the age of computer hardware.
There are too few things like skins in the game, so it is better to make money with point cards. If there are more skins and the like, the game's memory and computer hardware requirements will gradually increase.
Therefore, at this time, point cards are actually the king...
