There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

No matter how hard it is for Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng to accept it.

The facts are right there.

And the cheers from the players proved... how happy they are with this news.

After all, players have been suffering from Tianhu for a long time... no, more precisely, they have been suffering from online games for a long time.

It wasn't like that at first.

After Linmu Studio's "Fantasy OL" entered the market, the entire turn-based online game market is in a hurry. No matter what, it is a similar game anyway, so you have to face Linmu Studio's menacing "Fantasy OL". OL".

For example, the original competitor of "Fantasy OL", "Tianhu Travels", was not forced by Linmu Studio. In order to retain players, it was forced to gradually join "Fantasy OL" such as gangs and social systems.

Then, the game that krypton gold can only get props that increase the chance of probability has also been absorbed by them.

"Tianhu Travels" no longer dared to sell props that directly add attributes in the mall with great fanfare, and followed the same path as "Fantasy OL". Not only did it not continue to launch props that directly add attributes, but racked its brains to think A way to remove the previous props...

no way.

If you continue to maintain the environment where rich players are sky, ordinary players basically have no future, and even a little bit of hope can't be seen.

Ordinary players will join the enemy.

Then the ordinary players left, who would the krypton gold players pretend to be? With another kryptonite player?

Back then, krypton gold players and ordinary players said "I have surrendered to the enemy" together, but I still remember it vividly.

So there is no way.

And this is the power of head games and benchmarks.

In fact, because "Fantasy OL" still has a fairly small player base, any peers who want to grab food can't get around the benchmark "Fantasy OL". This makes all games of the same type, when making games, Will cast a mouse.

And the follow-up "Breakout" is the same.

It was the first time to use the box-opening method, and removed the "attribute weapons" like the fire unicorn that were generally accepted by the industry at that time, and instead adopted the routine that the skin only affects the appearance and does not affect any combat, and launched the biochemical mode, and then Binding gameplay and e-sports together makes it easier for players to accept.

In the end, let all players move closer to the competitive direction.

It doesn't matter how fancy your gun is or how much it costs, as long as it's a good gun, the shit will come out of you.

At that time, it was also playing the same type of games in the entire game circle, and in the end they were all forced to accept the set of gameplay set by Linmu Studio.

Because if you don’t accept it, you will die. An extremely popular e-sports competition directly wiped out the accumulation of all similar games, and Linmu Studio directly turned the table! The cards are reshuffled, and players vote with their feet. If they don't change, they will just watch the players lose.

Although after changing it, the effect is mediocre... After all, "Breakout" has become a trend.

Then, MOBA and pass system are not to mention.

The high revenue brought by the skin that does not affect the balance, the e-sports competition with high added value, the pass that pleases ordinary players but can make money.

It directly made many heavy krypton games take a sharp turn.

change!

After all... Linmu Studio seems to be able to make more money this way!

Then why do you have to bear the infamy to make thankless heavy krypton games? Even if he is willing to bear the infamy, the players are not willing to play.

Therefore, the environment of all online game types that Linmu Studio has produced in the future has improved.

Even if you don't play the online games of Linmu Studio, but play other games of the same type, you can feel that at least cheating money is not so blatant.

But it's a pity.

After the completion of the MOBA project, Linmu Studio gave up the field of online games.

Lin Yao made this decision out of the consideration of limited personnel, plus the establishment of the game platform and other factors.

This decision has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that with the rise of Linmu Studio, buyout system games are accepted by more domestic players, and because the boundaries between stand-alone and online games are beginning to blur, many people play buyout games. It is rarely thrown away after the plot is over.

The downside is that the audience for online games is still large...but Linmu Studio is gone.

There are quite a few people who play online games, and the time they spend on online games is generally higher than that on single-player games.

Many players may play a buyout game every few days, but online games are played every day.

For example, in the several online games of Linmu Studio, the number of online users has never dropped, and it is very stable. Many people subconsciously opened the MOBA before the break after shooting "Call of Duty", and then chose to open it.

In this case... Among the various types of games, it's good that Linmu Studio has released online games.

Just play the online game of Linmu Studio directly.

But for other types, it's hard to say.

The hardest-hit area is the MMORPG genre... As one of the most popular game genres in China, Tianhu has always been the leader of this genre, and they hardly have any competitors.

Before, Tianhu was approached step by step by Linmu Studio.

You said that it doesn't matter if it's for the good-looking financial report, or if you don't want to give up the number one title, or to deal with major shareholders.

In short... the MMORPG under Tianhu, in order to maintain revenue during that time, adopted the method of exhausting the pond and fishing, and frequently made foolish tricks.

Although Li Guangsheng came to his senses later, and after Mou Feng returned to Tianhu and seized power, this practice was stopped. During this period of time, they have been trying to withdraw and repair the previous stupid tricks for profit.

But unlike Lin Yao back then, they were faced with basically hopeless projects, and they were still working for others. "Fantasy OL" was a mess at the very beginning, Lin Yao dared to flip the table and let all the players go back to the starting point. Anyway, she was ready to go back and let Lin Xi take care of her.

But Tianhu can't, they can't lift the table, because the table is their own!

Therefore, Tianhu's repair progress has not been fast, and the effect is not very good, and there is no practical progress.

Players are very dissatisfied!

But they can't help it. After all, although Tianhu has become the second after the rise of Linmu Studio, the second is not small. In the field of MMORPG, they are still good enough.

Players who like this type can only accept it.

In theory, if the player accepts it, Tianhu will have enough time to repair the previous stupid tricks.

but.

Just now...

On the penultimate day of the 'Carnival', at the last meeting, Linmu Studio suddenly announced that its last game was an MMORPG, an online game.

And it is an online game developed based on the Warcraft IP of "Warcraft".

Oh hoo.

That's fun!

Even if the players in the venue are not all MMORPG players, they are all core players. They have basically played "Warcraft", and they have all heard of the name Tianhu.

So when they heard the news, their first reaction was to cheer.

Because this is very surprising news.

As for whether it is good or not.

Look at the position.

For players, of course! Because Forest Studio is back! Back to its loyal online game field! Even if the game is not considered, it is a good thing to consider that it can activate Tianhu's survival instinct! Worth cheering!

As for colleagues...

Li Guangsheng sat back on the chair, his face was livid anyway.

Mou Feng also froze in place, his face was also not good-looking.

Tonight, it is estimated that many domestic colleagues will not be able to sleep.

After all, Linmu Studio, which was originally a stand-alone player, came back again...

on stage.

Lei Hongguang became more calm when he heard the tsunami-like cheers from the audience, and the smile on his face became brighter.

He patiently waited for the cheers to stop, and then continued: "Yes, "World of Warcraft" is an online game. In fact, many players have asked us whether we will make online games in the future. Not only I know this, but Lin Yao also knows it. In fact, we have never given up on online games, and we have been thinking about the development direction of online games these days.

But we don't want to fool players. For online games that require long-term operation, we are very cautious. We have not made up our minds to do it without certain assurance. Fortunately, last year, we finally had confidence!

This "World of Warcraft" will be further developed based on the world view of "Warcraft"! A bigger world will be presented to all players, in which you will meet many old friends, such as Kael'thas, Illidan, Magtheridon, Archimonde, and Alsace!

But you will also meet many new friends, such as... Ragnaros the Firelord, Al'Akir the Wind Lord, and C'Thun the Ancient God!

And this huge world is waiting for you to explore. You will enter this world as adventurers, and enter this continent that was originally called the Land of Ever-Sparkling Stars! So, are you ready? "

"OHHH!!!"

The players cheered again when they heard Lei Hongguang's words.

Lei Hongguang smiled and walked aside.

The lights dimmed.

The atmosphere is adjusted!

It's time for a promo!

And the players also realized something, and the cheers were shorter than before.

As the screens on the stage light up.

The audience instantly became quiet.

The logo of Linmu Studio slowly appeared on the screen.

Then slowly darkened.

A yellowed map appeared in the center of the screen.

[It has been four years since the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side to resist the invasion of the Burning Legion. 】

[Despite successfully saving Azeroth, the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance has long since disappeared. 】

[Now, the thundering drums of war are sounding again! 】

The entire map of Azeroth is displayed in front of everyone.

With the last sentence of the narration falls.

The picture gradually blurred, and the sound of howling wind sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the epic singing voice also sounded.

In the snow.

A dwarf with most of his face covered by a beard turned his head and looked around.

The camera zooms out slowly.

The dwarf motioned the brown bear next to him to move forward, and then carried the shotgun in his hand.

One person and one bear started to move forward, and then stopped at the edge of the cliff, looking at Ironforge in the snow not far away.

The screen changed.

forest.

An elf seemed to have sensed something, put away the dagger, and began to run forward.

Accompanied by progressively higher background music.

She jumped in front of the waterfall, turned into a black cheetah, and jumped down.

The cheetah splashed water from its limbs.

Camera cut.

wilderness.

The necromancer took a step, and the breath of death spread around with his steps.

The undead warlock with a hideous face stopped, looked at the camera, and slowly raised his left hand.

And a hellfire slowly stood up from behind him...

next scene.

at dusk.

The muscular tauren chieftain took a step forward, to the edge of the cliff, and threw golden powder into the air.

The camera also moved forward with the drifting powder, and switched to a burning gathering place.

The green-skinned orc screamed, and struck the blunt weapon in his hand vigorously while moving forward, like a demonstration.

In the end, he swings his weapon at the camera, shows off his strength, and roars to the sky!

The screen changes again.

Dilapidated church.

The huge hellfire is burning with flames, trying to climb to the top of the church.

The human mage stood above the hellfire, rubbed out a big fireball, and smashed it down on the hellfire below.

The fireball dropped.

The screen suddenly went dark.

Then.

The camera starts to switch quickly.

In the snow.

The dwarf hunter shoots.

The brown bear behind him roared and rushed forward as if he heard the signal.

And in front of it, the muscular tauren waved the totem and hammered the brown bear to the ground.

In the wilderness.

The two hellfires moved forward quickly, their heavy steps shaking the heavens and the earth.

on the plain.

Orcs and druids were fighting hand to hand.

to church.

The mage waved his hand, and it fluttered along with the hem of his clothes. The surroundings were frozen and white.

He raised his hands, toward the sky.

The snow and ice fell, and the thunder flashed!

The last scene.

The tauren chief raised the totem on his shoulder and swung it down towards the camera.

thump.

A planet-like icon appears in the center of the screen.

LOGO appears.

World of Warcraft

The promo ends.

...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

The cheers of the players sounded again.

In fact.

Not to mention anything else, the CG of Linmu Studio will never disappoint!

That picture, that light, that epic music.

When the LOGO finally appeared, almost all players had goosebumps.

"How about it? In the promotional video, there are occupations that are partially open in the early stage."

Lei Hongguang returned to the front of the stage, happier, and when the cheers stopped, he couldn't wait to speak: "After watching the promotional video, many players may have guessed something, especially the narration at the beginning, yes! Horde and Alliance In between, the drums of war sounded again! The adventurers played by the players must choose between these two camps!

The two camps are of different races! Different beliefs! Against each other! All players have to choose between two camps to join! "

Follow Lei Hongguang's words to live.

On the screen behind him, the selection screen of the real machine appeared directly.

On the left is the Alliance, while on the right is the Horde.

The races that can be selected on both sides are different.

At the bottom, there are career choices.

This is another unexpected setting.

All players were dumbfounded.

"The player's choice is different, and their main cities will also be different. The main cities in the early stage are divided into six, including three for the alliance and three for the tribe.

On the Alliance side, there is Stormwind City, the main city of humans, located in the northern part of Elwynn Forest, and the capital of Stormwind Kingdom! There is Ironforge, which is the main city shared by dwarves and gnomes, located on the top of the snow-capped Dun Morogh; there is Darnassus, which is the main city of the night elves. The place where I grew up, the environment is quiet, and the scenery is beautiful..."

On the other side, the three main cities of the tribe are Orgrimmar, the common main city of orcs and trolls, and the place where the tribe has the most people, rough and brutal; Thunder Bluff, which is the hometown of the tauren, is located in On the platform of the verdant grassland in the Thunder region; Undercity, the main city of the undead, is located deep underground in the original human kingdom of Lordaeron! Everyone here should be familiar with "Warcraft", the hometown of Alsace! "

Lei Hongguang began to introduce the main cities of the two camps.

And with his introduction.

On the screen behind him, a bird's-eye view of the city will also appear.

3D, full of fantasy, unlike RTS's top view of the city, let the players feast their eyes, and then broke out even bigger cheers.

Sounds like fun!

Although the story is set, the tribe and the alliance are opposed to each other.

But the players didn't expect that the online game would follow such a setting!

This is really shit! ! !

Still can play like this! ?

On stage, Lei Hongguang was still introducing.

It has already begun to explain the setting of field PVE and PVP, as well as the concept of camp protection.

He then went on to introduce the distinctions of professions.

And as he explains, different pictures will appear on the screen behind him.

In fact, this is the real machine of "World of Warcraft", but it is different from the past, it is not just broadcast for players to see.

Instead, it adopts the form of explaining and exposing step by step.

After all, there are indeed many systems in online games.

And the players, following Lei Hongguang's explanation, the more information is revealed, the more excited they will be!

a world!

Two opposing camps!

Diverse career options!

There are also exclusive camp occupations!

on the one hand.

The game "World of Warcraft" gave them a familiar feeling.

After all, "Warcraft" has been released for a long time, and players are familiar with many things, such as certain cities and certain occupations.

But on the other hand, the game has given players a lot of novelty, the choice of different camps, opposing players, a larger story background, a variety of gameplay, and more beautiful scenery...

This brings both nostalgia and freshness.

Make players more and more excited.

Online gaming... looks so interesting!

But the other side.

Li Guangsheng's hands and feet were already cold...

Every time Lei Hongguang said a word, his heart became heavier until he fell to the bottom.

Then... continue down.

Especially after Lei Hongguang threw out the concept of opposing camps and various ways of playing, he became even more desperate.

no!

Brother!

Isn't it good for you to do stand-alone?

Why did he suddenly become an online game!

Li Guangsheng looked at the kind-hearted player next to him who was eager to try, and his eyes burst out with a strong brilliance, and he felt like crying without tears.

On the other side of Li Guangsheng, Mou Feng didn't want to cry or cry.

But everyone was stunned.

He looked at Lei Hongguang who was talking eloquently on the stage, and once again recalled the fear of the entire online game market being dominated by Linmu Studio...

They do come back.

And it also brought a... an online game that could be called lore.

He actually imagined many possibilities. In the last meeting, Linmu Studio will announce an open world masterpiece, or an open game in cooperation with other major manufacturers, or announce a bigger news, such as a listing.

He thought about it all.

But he really didn't expect that Linmu Studio would announce an online game.

Because they are doing well in the stand-alone game market now! And the mainframe is also selling well!

Who would have thought of this tm!

"We're going back!"

Take a deep breath.

Mou Feng turned his head abruptly. Although he still wanted to listen to it, he wanted to fully understand the whole picture of the long-lost online game released by Linmu Studio, but he knew that he could not listen any longer.

"Go back?" Li Guangsheng turned his head while maintaining a weeping expression.

"Yes! We have to hold an urgent meeting to think of a way to deal with it! Otherwise, it will be unstoppable, our only dominant game type! It will be unstoppable!"

Mou Feng stood up, managed to maintain his composure, and pulled up his hair.

Li Guangsheng also reacted, and quickly straightened his suit.

On the stage, Lei Hongguang's sharp eyes also noticed the two people who stood up suddenly, and asked a question mark slowly.

ah? Is there something wrong with what I said?

Why did you leave?

But soon, he shook his head.

Maybe it was going to the toilet.

Um.

definitely is.

...

at last.

When Lei Hongguang announced that "World of Warcraft" will be tested on May 30 after the release of Monster Hunter, the game will be open for trial tomorrow.

The last game meeting of "Forest Carnival" ended perfectly!

The audience cheers.

Players who watch the live broadcast, like online games, and MMPRPG are already very happy!

Since Linmu Studio stepped into the field of stand-alone games.

For the first time, discussions and posts about online games overwhelmed those about single-player games, occupying the front page of the stand-alone game community.

On the one hand, this is related to the gradual blurring of the boundaries between online games and stand-alone games.

But on the other hand, it is also related to the fact that this "World of Warcraft" is completely different from ordinary MMORPGs. The game is developed based on "Warcraft".

After all, "Warcraft" is well-known in the stand-alone game circle!

Anyway anyway.

The last meeting of the forest carnival was beyond everyone's expectations!

The most discussed "World of Warcraft" is not the ordinary game community.

It's... the official discussion community of Tianhu related MMORPG games.

this day.

In the Tianhu MMORPG discussion community like "Shen Ge", no one discusses Shen Ge at all, but they all discuss "World of Warcraft"...

It's unimaginable, it's a sight to behold.

It was at the same time that Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng convened a meeting of their game directors.

Tianhu related game community, chickens fly and dogs jump.

"Damn it!! It looks so awesome, I'm going to join the enemy!!!"

"Finally! Linmu Studio is finally making an MMORPG! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? Brothers! Brothers of the Qianjin Union, prepare to change games!!"

"To be honest, after watching the "World of Warcraft" meeting, I couldn't help but be tempted even after playing the Tianhu game for almost five years. I feel that it is much more interesting than the Tianhu game. .”

"I'm going to join the enemy too! For online games, it has to be Lin Mu Studio!"

"Hahaha, Tianhu, wait for death! No one competed before, and even if someone competes, you can't beat you. You are messing around! Now it's all right, Linmu Studio is here! Who in the world can't understand Linmu Studio!"

"..."

The players had all kinds of carnival, while expressing their hatred for Tianhu, and at the same time, they were happy for the entry of Linmu Studio.

At the same time, expressed a strong interest in "World of Warcraft".

Then, about half an hour later, perhaps the official administrators of the forum felt that there were too many discussions about enemy games, so they directly banned related keywords in the background, and started to delete posts frantically.

The final result is.

The official community, which was very lively just now, was suddenly silent.

Players are not discussing?

No, just switched sides...

After the meeting, when Mou Feng heard the news, he immediately called the relevant person in charge, scolded him, and then told him to reopen quickly and stop doing stupid things.

tm, the game is almost over now! Also depriving players of their freedom of speech and forcing them to leave, is it because they think they are dying fast enough?

Mou Feng reacted quickly.

But it's still too late...

Even if Mou Feng signaled to release the key words of "World of Warcraft", not many players are willing to come back to discuss... Most of the players have already left, and even if they are willing to post, they will be yin and yang.

this day.

Because of a "World of Warcraft".

Including Sky Fox.

The directors of most of the competing companies in Linmu Studio in China didn't fall asleep and couldn't sleep all night!

Just an idea.

Why are they back again! ! !
