Once the Stone Age was launched, it immediately sparked heated discussions among players and caused a major earthquake in the industry.

For online laying and covering floors, as long as there is a BBS, there will be discussions about the Stone Age:

【Wow, have you played the Stone Age?】

【I was caught and beaten up by my mother.】

【The style of painting in the Stone Age is a bit good, right?

[I think the most interesting thing is that I can team up with people to fight monsters and catch pets... I won’t say it anymore, I have to raise my green tiger.]

[I encountered a mutant turtle today, but unfortunately I almost caught it. It was killed by me... Cry...]

[Who wants to open a small trumpet? Please bring it. My starry sky in Guangzhou Netcom]

[Server: Sina 1, Tantuo Temple, the nickname Zhao Yun is not married, welcome to make friends.]

[22-year-old Luoyang MM, the school beauty selection can enter the top ten, please give me a guide online.]

【Is it true, send a picture first to see?】

[Add me QQ, I'll take you, I'll give you a Deboone online]

【Really and false? I am also a MM, please bring it.】

【I can be a MM, please bring it】

...

In the Stone Age, it pioneered the [large-scale social game]. In addition to the normal single-player upgrade and monster fighting experience, you can also fully enjoy the fun of interacting with people.

This area is completely blank in China.

According to Maslow's theory of needs, the social construction of the Stone Age is quite complete. It not only has a personal growth and upgrading experience (material needs), but also allows you to team up with other friends to play (coordinate), fight, and trade...

A series of social behaviors allow you to be in this cute world built through very simple pictures.

Some people even believe that with the development of technology in the future, human beings can really live in the virtual world.

And in the Stone Age, they played not a player, but a real life.

Many stories about the Stone Age have been circulated online:

【555… It’s really a terrible ghost. Today I took a MM to catch the pet, but I was cheated.】

【What's wrong? Being cheated and spoiled?】

【No, I looked very good when I posted the photos, but when I met, I found it was a dinosaur.】

(Dinosaurs, a popular vocabulary in 2000, originated from Wanwan. In 1997, Pizi Cai published the romance novel "First Intimate Contact" on BBS. This book is widely circulated, thus bringing [Dinosaurs] and [Die in the Light] into the group of young people, thus allowing these words to spread)

【Forget it, I thought it was a big deal, it was enough not to be cheated and spoiled.】

【The grass mud horse...I'm gone for the first time...】

【Uh…you can you get a bird from dinosaurs?】

[Otherwise, if you spend 200 yuan to take a bus, wouldn’t it be a loss if you don’t come?]

[Present!]

【Wet Embers and Wet Embers!】

[This year, I was 14 years old, and I was young and didn’t know how to be sad.

Every day, I think about the beautiful girl in the next class, but the stone tools.

The phone dialing at home is very slow, and my parents strictly regulate my Internet access. Most of the time, let alone surfing the Internet, even if you play games, you have to be careful about the movements at the door at any time.

The most I went to was a black Internet cafe near the school. It was filled with smoke. The uncles with bare shirtless cigarettes were sitting on office chairs with cracked skins to surf the Internet. Several seniors at the door looked at the students wearing school uniforms in the Internet cafe from time to time.

The curtains are usually pulled up, so the overall environment looks a bit dark. The monitor with big butts contains various game interfaces, interstellar, red alarm, legend, and even people board three or four QQs at the same time, which is so fast that it is scary.

This Internet cafe is not close to our school. Every afternoon, if you don’t have lunch, you can still arrive at 12:10 if you ride a bicycle faster. At this time, the Internet cafe owners have not yet got up. If you are the first to get here, you can enjoy the only magical machine in the entire Internet cafe - it has a double-Flying Swallow Optical Mouse. At the same time, those who are playing games can use ALT+F4 to cut to the desktop. Although you can’t open anything after cutting it out and can’t do it, when everyone stares at the “reading” interface, your flexible switching can instantly cause a moment of attention.

, handed the boss ten yuan, and a wink boss understood it. After a while, a bowl of hot instant noodles and a bottle of filling coke were brought to him. While eating noodles, he opened "Stone Age". From 12:10 to 1:30 every day, this was the happiest time of the day. We were walking on Garuca Island, we raced on Giroud Island, drinking coke and eating noodles, watching the dragon man flying away opposite, excitedly broke the boss's swivel chair armrests, and during the exam, he stared blankly at the papers, drew one of the god pets that were only stored in his mind, set various abilities for them, and then fell into fantasy and couldn't extricate themselves...

We collectively beg for pets that others don’t want at the village gate. A brother agreed to give me the dragon he eliminated, but he could only trade at 3 o’clock, and I didn’t go to class that day.

I was beaten to death when I got home at night.

Yes, it was last week.

But now when I recall it, I feel no pain at all, and my mind is full of people and dragons, and I am so proud of my classmates. If you ask me, what was the most impressive experience in "The Stone Age"? I don't know. Maybe it was the sweat that fell on the ground when I ran to the Internet cafe. Maybe it was the bottle of Coke and a bowl of fragrant instant noodles? Or maybe it was the melodious string music in Chinu Village, and the faces that were red with my classmates in class because of arguments. This may be because "The Stone Age" has long been integrated with me and has become a part of my youth.

Finally, I want to say that the stone tool is my home, and everyone loves it]

[Hahahaha... It's so real, the stone tool is my home, everyone loves it]

[Stone tools are my home, and everyone loves it.]

[Stone tools are my home, and everyone loves it.]

In 2001, the popular name for girls on the Internet was not the later young ladies or girls, but MM (beauties), and boys were called GG (Gege).

The outbreak of the Stone Age was like a bombshell thrown into the Chinese game market.

This year, the domestic stand-alone game market has not yet stabilized and improved, and has ushered in an unprecedented epic challenge.

The Stone Age started online in May, and in just one week, the registered users exceeded 60,000.

By June, the number of registered users exceeded 200,000 and had nearly 10,000 online users.

Even Huang Hongbo, the boss of the agent Huayi Company, was stunned.

He himself never thought that such an online game could have such a big effect.

Moreover, the rapidly growing market made Huang Hongbo a little panicked.

This is a hen who can lay golden eggs!

Due to the influence of network speed, installation in the Stone Age must be carried out through CDs, so Huayi made a lot of money just by selling CDs.

At this time, if there is no Stone Age in Internet cafes, then your Internet cafe will be out of date.

So many Internet cafes buy a CD and install hundreds of machines.

If you buy it privately, you have to spend a CD.

When purchasing a CD, you will get a serial number on it. There is 300 points. After the 300 points time is over, you have to spend money to purchase a point card.

The Stone Age Point Card sells for 15 yuan, 300 points.

Spend 6 o'clock every hour, which means that 15 yuan is only enough for you to play for 50 hours, a little more than two days.

Of course, players generally do not online all day, basically the average online time of 5 hours a day, and the monthly purchase of point cards is 30 to 60 yuan.

Since the [Stone Age] launched by Huayi Company can be opened on the same computer more than once (as long as the computer can run), many players open many small accounts at the same time to play together, so the income from the Stone Age is quite considerable.

In May alone, the Stone Age brought 8 million in revenue to Huayi.

Moreover, this number is still growing.

The growth rate is extremely scary.

In order to meet the needs of players and solve various problems, the boss Huang Hongbo increased the number of company employees in the Imperial Capital Huayi, and the number of development and maintenance personnel increased to 60, while the number of customer service personnel increased to nearly 100.

Just in mid-June, something even more terrible happened-

Several servers in Guangzhou were crowded due to too many people.

That is, the legendary—

Server downtime.

...

Cao Yang heard this news and said with a wry smile—

This is probably what is called [so good].
