During the game between William and Vanbach, more and more people were in the game hall, and more and more people were in the Blizzard area. When the game was over, Mitarashi Nanaya and the others had to squeeze out with great difficulty.
There are also many people in the "Warcraft" area next to it, but everyone is watching the game on the opposite side.
Mitarai Nanaya looked around the Warcraft area, and then saw a poster saying that "Warcraft 3" would be launched soon.
The game "Warcraft" has not always had a strong sense of presence under Blizzard, because it is too homogeneous with "StarCraft". Many people have played "StarCraft" and there is no need to play "Warcraft".
The key to this thing is that there is a chain of contempt. Players who play "StarCraft" just look down on those who play "Warcraft". They all think that only those who can play "StarCraft" are masters. "Warcraft" is only for those who play "StarCraft".
It's for rookies to play.
In the past two years, the popularity of "Warcraft" is actually better than before, because now the painting style of "Warcraft" is obviously different from that of "StarCraft", and some people are willing to play this game just because of this style of Warcraft.
Games, in addition, in the past two years, Blizzard has paid more attention to the promotion of "Warcraft" than before, and even invited Jay Chou to be the spokesperson of the game.
There was no official release date written on the poster. Mitarai Nanaya ran to ask the staff, "Hello, when will "Warcraft 3" be officially released? I don't see it written on the poster."
The staff member smiled and explained, "Because the time has not been decided yet, I didn't write it down."
Mitarashi Nanaya was a little disappointed, but at the same time very confused, "You have even made the promotional posters, but you haven't set the launch time yet? When can you set the launch time?"
"The boss will announce it on the last day of the annual meeting," the staff member said.
Mitarai Nanaya looked surprised, "Will it be announced during the conference?"
The staff nodded, "The notification I received is this. We only have this poster here today, and the game center mainly promotes "Minecraft"."
Mitarashi Nanaya still looked confused.
He completely understands that the two games avoid collision in terms of promotion. Today is the day when "Minecraft" is launched. "Warcraft 3" avoids this, leaving more space for "Minecraft".
Promotional space is normal.
But the question is, will Yu Dong and the others really announce the launch time of "Warcraft 3" at the subsequent conference?
Is this game worthy of Yu Dong and the others taking it so seriously?
At the conference, Yu Dong's speech was not long, but he had a lot to say, so generally things that were not particularly important would not be discussed at the conference. Even if it was the company's very important film project, Yu Dong would not talk about it at all.
Pass.
"Are there any major changes in "Warcraft 3" compared to the previous version?" Mitarai Nanaya asked again.
The staff member shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Like you, all I know about "Warcraft 3" comes from this poster. I would like to know if there are any major changes compared to the previous version. You may need to follow up.
Check the official website of Deep Space or Blizzard, and this information will be announced later.”
If this were another company, Mitarashi Nanaya might think that this company's publicity was not serious enough, but this is in the deep space park, and there cannot be any problems with the publicity of deep space companies, so now this situation will cause
his interest.
He decided to pay close attention to the dynamics of "Warcraft 3" to see what was going on.
…
At early six o'clock that night, Yanjing time, the electronic reading room of the Deep Space Park was packed to the brim.
Most of the people crowded here are waiting for the official release of "Minecraft" at 6:30, and are rushing to buy the game on the space platform, because there is an announcement on the platform, and the first 1,000 players to buy the game do not need to be members.
Purchase the game at a 20% discount and get a set of commemorative cards worth 99 yuan.
In addition, every player in "Minecraft" has a unique world number, starting with six digits. The earlier you register the game, the smaller the world number you will get. Many players attach great importance to this thing.
Just like Dongdong numbers, except for some special numbers, such as consecutive numbers, with more repeated numbers, the smaller the numbers, the better. Now some six-digit Dongdong numbers starting with 1 can be sold for money.
If you encounter consecutive numbers again, the price will be quite high.
The price of "Minecraft" on Chinese space is much lower than that in the United States. It is 99 yuan a copy, and the lowest discount is 40% off, which is less than 60 yuan. Even if it is sold in the United States,
The discounted price is 24 US dollars, which is close to 200 RMB. The difference is quite big.
Sixty yuan is quite expensive for most Chinese people. Many people don’t have sixty yuan for two or three days’ salary. However, for those who own computers, sixty yuan is relatively better and not that expensive.
It’s hard to accept, as you can see from the popularity in the electronic reading room.
In fact, it is not just the electronic reading room of the Deep Space Park that is overcrowded at the moment, but also the large and small Internet cafes in Jinling. Originally, there were more customers in the Internet cafes during this time, but because of "Minecraft"
It’s released, so originally the Internet cafes were full of people playing games, but now everyone opens the space and waits for the games to be released.
…
In Jinling Blue Snow Lotus Internet Cafe, none of the nearly one thousand computers is empty, and even the leisure area is full of people.
Lanxuelian Internet Cafe is the largest Internet cafe in Jinling. It was just built last year. It has two floors in total and a business area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters. In addition to the functions of ordinary Internet cafes, the Internet cafe also has a supermarket, food court, and printing and copying shop.
, billiard table and other service facilities.
This Internet cafe is not only the largest Internet cafe in Jinling, but also the largest Internet cafe in China. When the Internet cafe opened, there were many news media reports.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The model of this Internet cafe is completely different from ordinary Internet cafes. Some people say that this Internet cafe is the most similar Internet cafe in the country to learn the deep space Internet cafe model. They are like an expansion
A version of the Deep Space Internet Club. In fact, they have surpassed the Deep Space Internet Cafe model and developed their own style.
In order to meet the different Internet consumption needs of various groups, this Internet cafe charges an hourly Internet fee ranging from 2 yuan to 25 yuan, and different price areas can also enjoy different services.
The previous Jinling City Internet Cafe E-Sports Competition was also led by the owner of Lan Xuelian Internet Cafe, and the team from their Internet cafe ultimately won the championship.
Based on this calculation, the cost of going to the Deep Space Park Game Theme Pavilion to play the finals is slightly lower than playing the game in their own Internet cafe. The Internet fee for their competition area is only 25 yuan an hour.
The owner of their Internet cafe is very ambitious. He has raised teams for several sports. He is also thinking about participating in WCG auditions in the future and breaking into WCG later.
There are quite a few Internet cafe owners who have this idea. Many professional players come from Internet cafes. Even if some large Internet cafes don’t want to enter WCG to get a ranking, they still want to raise a gaming team because this can improve their Internet cafe’s performance.
Reputation.
The higher the level of the team in the Internet cafe, the higher the attendance rate in their high-end areas. Many people go to the 25-hour area to surf the Internet, also for the teams in the Internet cafe.
Today, the main force grabbing accounts is basically in the high-end consumer area, because the machines in the high-end consumer area are better and faster, which helps them grab game accounts, and for players who can afford high-end models,
The price of "Minecraft" is just the cost of a few hours of Internet access in an Internet cafe, which is not worth mentioning at all.
After six o'clock, the Internet cafe became more and more lively, but as it approached six-thirty, everyone gradually became quiet. Many people sat in front of the computer and held their breath, fearing that they would miss the time to grab an account.
Although the time announced on the space platform is 6:30 tonight, no one knows whether it will be earlier, so no one dares to slack off, and is ready before six o'clock.
The launch time of the game is neither advanced nor delayed.
The bell just rang at half past six, and the game was officially launched. Everyone was working hard to control the mouse and click on the purchase button.
Pressing the button is not complete, you need to complete the payment. This step requires PayPal payment, and in order not to waste time, many people have rehearsed it in advance.
There is no problem in the payment step, because everyone can buy the game, there is no quota limit, but only the first 1,000 people can get the prize.
After a while, someone in the Internet cafe suddenly shouted, "I have it, I have it."
Hearing this cry, everyone on this floor looked over and cast envious glances. That was the top one thousand people. How many people across the country were rushing to register for accounts right now. It was hard to get into the top one thousand people.
easy.
Then someone shouted, "I have it too, I have it too."
However, there were only these two shouts. No one else went in, and these two shouts also came from the high-end consumer area. Others couldn't help but sigh, this machine is good, but it is different. It can grab accounts faster than others. With this money
Well worth the money spent.
Many people rushed to look at the computer screens of these two people, wanting to see what the difference was among a thousand people.
You don’t have to distinguish between those who are ranked within one thousand, because after the system determines that you are among those who are ranked within one thousand, a dialog box will pop up on your space page, which says: Congratulations on entering the top one thousand, please contact us for details on prize collection.
Pay attention to the personal center.
In the personal center, there will be a big gift package. After opening it, there will be two coupons. One is a voucher, worth twenty yuan. There is no designation and no threshold for use. This is equivalent to the player buying the game at a 40% discount. In addition,
One is a redemption coupon. Players can use this redemption coupon to exchange for a set of commemorative cards. No conditions are required. Just add the address and select the card style, and the official will mail the commemorative cards to your home.
Grabbing an account is just a temporary excitement. After the real grab, everyone's attention is still on the game itself. Many people have watched the video of today's game launch site and seen "Along the River During Qingming Festival". Even if they haven't watched it, they have heard from others
I mentioned that they all wanted to see how this game was played and how to make a building like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
But it didn't take long for most players to forget about "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and they were already immersed in the endless destruction.
Scratch the tree to dig out sand and dig out stones. The tree can be made into wooden boards, and the sand can be burned into glass. Digging out stones may lead to various minerals. However, many people have not yet experienced the joy of making, and are still immersed in the joy of destruction and collection.
middle.
The reason why elimination games such as "Lianliankan" and "Xiaoxiaole" are so popular is because elimination makes people feel pleasure, which is direct and continuous.
When you first start playing "Minecraft", you will also feel this kind of pleasure. Some people no longer care about how to play the game. They just want to "smash the wall".
Players who focus on smashing walls are generally players who need to vent and have no goals in playing games, while some players want to explore the game more deeply.
For example, some players have clear ideas after entering the game. Although they cannot build "Along the River During Qingming Festival" at once, they can try to build a simple house. If they want to build a house, they must first build it.
What I do is collect and make a variety of materials, and then experiment with the combination of various materials.
"Minecraft" is different from all games on the market. In the traditional sense, games, whether they are real-time strategy games or first-person shooters, basically have no way to break away from the shackles of "game makers design levels and players complete them"
, after all players enter the game, if they want to gain a sense of accomplishment, they must complete various tasks.
But "Minecraft" is different. Here, players do not have to complete any levels set by the game makers. They can play the game according to their own ideas. Many gameplay methods are beyond the imagination of the game makers.
If you like to engage in architecture, you can set the construction of buildings such as Along the River During the Qingming Festival, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Pyramid as your goals in playing games. Continue to collect and make materials in the game and try to realize real-life buildings.
If you like machinery, you can engage in alchemy, make various highly automated machines, and use games to complete some fantastic ideas.
Players who like to tell stories can also develop various storylines in the game.
…
There are many ways to play in this game, and mining is one of the fun ways to play this game.
Moreover, this game is easy to get started and has rich follow-up development. It can not only make people addicted quickly, but also allow people to play continuously.
The most awesome thing is that this game can apply a lot of knowledge learned in reality. For example, using torch assistance will speed up the sand excavation process, and using the fishbone mine tunnel mining method can improve the efficiency of excavation. Players can use their own real-life
