Vol 2 Chapter 692: Speechless

Chapter 692: Questioning the Heaven Without Words

In 2003, on February 21st, Fantasy Westward Journey was officially tested at 12 noon. A total of 8 sets of servers were launched. At 2 o'clock after 12 o'clock, the 8 sets of Fantasy Westward Journey servers were instantly full. Each group of servers can hold up to 10,000 people, and 8 groups are 80,000 people.

Although Ding Lei expected the Fantasy Westward Journey to be successful, he did not expect it to be so successful. The server was full on the first day, and it was full all day long. Many players who came after hearing the news had no way to squeeze into the game. Witnessing this hot scene, the next day, NetEase launched 8 servers again, which were still full.

For three days in a row, NetEase launched 8 servers every day, a total of 24 servers, only to slightly ease the craze. Looking at the data showing that 240,000 players were fighting in the game, and there are countless players waiting in reality, Ding Lei showed a long-lost smile. Netease is finally going to be proud with its Fantasy Westward Journey this time.

However, although the supply of Fantasy Westward Journey is now in short supply, Ding Lei did not continue to set up servers as suggested by Old Xu. Instead, he formulated a plan to increase 4 servers per week. If a new server is opened too soon, although it can alleviate the needs of players, it is not good for the game in the long run. The game is to arouse the interest of the players and make them tickle.

When Fantasy Westward Journey became popular, the outside world was also amazed, and many game companies frowned. Previously, other game companies have also developed or represented many 2d turn-based games, but they have not achieved such a popular scene as Fantasy Westward Journey. No matter how the major game companies advertise, both the popularity and the final data are very bleak. Not to mention that compared with the "Second World" games, even the "90%" magic baby is far inferior.

But once NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey was launched, it was so popular, which is surprising and puzzling. Why is the same game that no one cares about. NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey is so popular and sought after by all walks of life. Why and why?

Since you are puzzled, you have to ask. It is necessary to find out the reason, find out the reason for the success of Fantasy Westward Journey, so that they can gain a foothold in this game market. Otherwise, when the large-scale online role-playing game market and the casual game market are firmly occupied by the "Second World", in the excellent situation of the 2d turn-based online game market where the "Second World" pretends not to be involved, if the 2d round is NetEase and "90%" dominate online games, how will they mix in the future!

Of course, due to the expansion of the "Second World" and the swarming of major online game companies, the domestic online game market is getting bigger and bigger. As long as the game is not bad, you can always make money. This is why so many game companies know it. The domestic game market has the "Second World" giant, and there are reasons why it is swarming. But I always make some "cabbage money", while Lin Feng's "Second World" is making a gold mine, which makes people feel a little unbalanced. Naturally, I hope that my company can also make money, and it is best to replace the "Second World" position in the game market.

Therefore, many game companies have sent people to privately understand why Fantasy Westward Journey is so popular and why it is so popular. It has just a public beta with 200,000 online places, and as NetEase gradually increases servers, this online place will continue to increase. , There is a trend to catch up with the magic baby.

However, after some investigation, the various game companies were a little angry and wanted to vomit blood.

A game company interviewed a player who looked about 13 or 4 years old, with a childish face, but his eyes were staring at the screen without blinking.

"Why is this game (Fantasy Westward Journey) so fun?"

"Oh, the characters are good-looking, and the operation is simple, and there are many people."

"Then how did you know Fantasy Westward Journey? How did you know it was fun?"

"The classmates introduced it. They all said it was a game recommended by Lin Feng, so naturally I want to play it."

An interviewer from a game company vomits blood when he hears it.

Then I interviewed a 22-year-old college student.

"Oh, why play Fantasy Westward Journey? It's very simple. Lin Feng's 2d turn-based game is naturally to be played. Moreover, it is independently developed by China and claims to have no bugs. Of course, it is necessary to play."

An interviewer from a game company vomited blood again.

Then I interviewed a young girl who was about 18 years old.

"I like the Q version of Fantasy Westward Journey. It's so cute. And I heard that Lin Feng picked it up, so naturally I want to play. That audition is so interesting, I think this one should be more interesting."

auzw.com speechless! The interviewer of a game company was completely speechless and didn't know what to say anymore.

Finally, a game company interviewer who didn't give up, asked the most wrong question in his life.

"Do you believe in Lin Feng that way?"

"Of course, Lin Feng's products must be exquisite." Many interviewers said in unison.

Fall to the ground! ——Many game company interviewers returned to the company with a wounded heart. Reported the interview results to the company, and finally came to an analysis conclusion-in addition to the success of Fantasy Westward Journey, because it is a masterpiece of domestic game, it draws on the characteristics of Journey to the West, its cartoon cute q version is also the key to people's favorite, but more important It is because it is the most fun 2d turn-based game "hand-picked" by Lin Feng that attracts a large number of players to play and try. Coupled with the not bad quality of Fantasy Westward Journey, it is naturally very popular.

Damn, did he say that a good game must be good! ——The boss who could not accept this fact yelled after seeing the analysis of the analysts under him.

Faced with the boss’s questioning, many game company analysts bowed their heads and said nothing. They could not answer this question, otherwise they would definitely hurt their self-esteem. Of course, it is not to hurt your own self-esteem, but to hurt the self-esteem of your boss. The games recommended by Lin Feng are indeed fun. On the contrary, the games of his own boss and others are purely for the purpose of listing money. Many games not to mention bugs found inside, or even just completed, after a little beautification, and were pushed to the market by the boss who is eager for quick success and quick profit. . There are a lot of bugs, and the unbalanced design makes it strange for players to play.

Of course, some analysts who are not afraid of death responded to the boss's rant.

Uh, well, boss, to be honest, it's really good! ——Some more straightforward analysts said in passing.

Bastard, is there anyone who has the ambition of you and destroyed your own prestige! No wonder the game is so poorly made! ——The boss has a sullen face when he hears this. As the boss, why don't you know that Lin Feng's games are all high-quality goods, but in their hearts this tone is not flat. A hairy boy with no academic qualifications and any technology can be successful and become the richest man in the country. Therefore, under annoyance, all the anger will be cast on the programmer.

Yes, I'm bad, then I don't do it now, let's go to the head office! ——Unexpectedly, this straightforward programmer was even better. He took off his clothes and dropped his work card.

What are you...what are you doing! ——The boss of a game company was taken aback. He was really unscrupulous just now, but isn't that also an angry talk? He is the boss, and he is angry, but this person does not have a long memory.

Don't do it, I quit my job! ——A senior programmer snorted.

Where can you go? ——The boss's face sank.

Humph, even being a junior programmer in the "Second World" is better than being in this hopeless company! ——After finishing speaking, the senior programmer walked away, leaving behind a shocked and shocked boss, who didn't know what to say for a long time.

Damn, you dig my corner! ——The boss of a game company screams up to the sky.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng didn't know. But even if he knew it, Lin Feng could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and sighed-I didn't dig Boren, but Boren quit because of me, no matter what, no matter what!

Aside from these jealous bosses, the "90%" Chen Xiaowei is really going crazy for it. Chen Xiaowei had also expected NetEase to launch Fantasy Westward Journey. After all, Lin Feng's acquisition of 19.3% of NetEase's shares in a big way at the time was also news at the time. As a colleague, it is impossible for Chen Xiaowei to know that NetEase is developing a 2d turn-based online game.

Therefore, when NetEase announced that Fantasy Westward Journey will be on February 21, when it was officially tested, Chen Xiaowei also made corresponding countermeasures. First of all, Chen Xiaowei launched various activities in Magic Baby, and presented various gift packages to players in order to retain old players. At the same time, Chen Xiaowei also boldly decided to launch Digimon Online, which has just signed an agency operation with South Korea, on February 21, to play against NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey. I hope to take advantage of the popularity of Digimon (produced in South Korea), which is very popular in Japan, to fight NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey and grab new customers.

Unexpectedly, on February 21st, it was also the first day of service. Digimon Online, like Fantasy Westward Journey, launched 8 sets of servers. But Fantasy Westward Journey is full of 8 sets of servers, while Digimon Online is terrible. No server is full, and 8 sets of servers add up to more than 20,000 people.

In the following days, the popularity of Fantasy Westward Journey continued to skyrocket, and the addition of 16 sets of servers for three consecutive days could not satisfy the enthusiasm of the players. But on the other hand, "90%" Digimon online have not soared in popularity, but continue to be in a downturn. Originally there were more than 20,000 people playing online games on the first day, but on the second day, there were only less than 20,000 people. On the third day, it fell below 10,000 people. Compared with the popularity of Fantasy Westward Journey, this is too bleak. point.

Of course, this was not what made Chen Xiaowei depressed. What made Chen Xiaowei even more depressed was that the popularity of the magic baby began to decline sharply. There were still 500,000 people online, but after three days of Fantasy Westward Journey, the number of people online dropped to only 400,000. And this is because the Fantasy Westward Journey server is full and players cannot squeeze into the game. Otherwise, I am afraid that the online number of Magic Baby is even lower. Because, many players in Magic Baby have begun to recommend Fantasy Westward Journey to each other, which made Chen Xiaowei watch it and vomit blood in anger.

Because the reason why many magic baby players recommend Fantasy Westward Journey lies in a single word. This sentence completely sentenced the magic baby to death.
