On August 8, 2003, at 9:00 a.m. Beijing time, virtual life was officially tested. Originally, the public beta was scheduled at 12:00 noon, but many domestic players complained that the service was always open at noon, making them unable to eat normally. After all, they are all waiting to go online. At 12 noon, who will be in the mood to have a meal? I'd like to have fun later. As for how long this will last, it's hard to say.
After a while, just play for a while—— This is the mantra of countless players.
Therefore, after many considerations, the "second world" has made a democratic and fair decision, which is finally scheduled to be officially tested at 9 a.m. Beijing time.
For the public beta of virtual life, all players around the world have been waiting for the game to open at 9 a.m. Beijing time.
"Grandma, it's a slow day today!" In the Internet bar, many players are anxiously watching the seconds turn around, and they are inexplicably anxious. They could have been playing games, watching movies and waiting for a short time. However, many players are afraid that they will not be able to log in later, just like swordsman online. At the beginning, in order to log in to swordsman online, many players wasted their energy. Now, they don't want to repeat the same mistakes. They just want to play for a while and delay their "business". It's hard to watch other people's games when they are in a hurry.
You know, it's a global unified server game, and it's said that there will be a lot of mm, dating, entertainment and leisure games, plus the ingenious "sports system", which is enough to make every male player crazy. As for female players, the stars and celebrities of virtual life are enough to attract them.
Think about it. You can get along with your idol day and night in the game, and even become friends. According to the grapevine of an employee of "second world" (Lin Feng intentionally let people reveal), players can not only become friends with stars in the game, but also become lovers, or they can get married (of course, can they get married in the end, "Second world" is not a guarantee).
Think about these, make countless female players crazy. What's more, "virtual life" promises to be free forever, which is also a temptation for female players. Before that, dance group spent too much money in it, and most female fans were not able to work, and they were still students, which was opposed by many parents. Now virtual life is free, so they don't have to worry about any pressure from their parents. As long as you can afford the Internet fee! This, for the vast majority of female players, is absolutely no problem.
With the participation of female players, will there be fewer male players?
However, waiting is always an irritating thing, especially when waiting for a long-time game, this mood is even more urgent. It seems that there are tens of millions of ants crawling in my heart, which is very uncomfortable.
The first leisure and entertainment online game, the first global unified server online game, and the first online game that promises absolute free forever. All players are looking forward to and excited by these three firsts.
Finally, the long wait finally has the result, nine o'clock finally arrived!
For the first time, the player who has been waiting for a long time, with the hand speed of more than "Nada" 400apm +, which is known as the star cramp flow player, opens the client for the first time, enters the account number and password, and then clicks login. According to a random survey of a magazine, at this moment, players click on the client, enter the account number, password and finally enter the game. On average, each player only takes 3.7 seconds! Also invisible created a login game fastest world Gillis world record. Of course, there is no witness to this record!
With the cry of a baby, players enter the "virtual life" game. At the beginning, all the players witnessed a slightly old-fashioned setting, but to the surprise of the players, the setting was too detailed, too detailed. From height, age, weight, hobbies, all kinds of settings. Of course, you can do it according to your real situation or make it up. The "second world" does not limit its data to be real, but players can make it up. After all, in "virtual life", it is to promote everyone to play another self. The original intention of the game is to let players experience another kind of life and inject some hope or sunshine into the boring, boring and even decadent real life. And players can upload their own avatar, so that in the game, when the other party queries your information, they will be able to see your avatar.
After a long set-up, players enter the game. At the beginning of entering the game, all players exclaimed. The whole picture is a kind of ancient Chinese painting style with Chinese ink painting. The whole picture is extremely beautiful. Players feel as if they are in an ancient painting. The whole mood can not help but relax. Moreover, the Chinese classical folk music and the sound of silk and bamboo are refreshing.
It's good to log in the game every day to see the picture and listen to the music—— Many players sigh in their hearts《 Virtual life is completely free. They can log in every day, do nothing, just hang it. However, Lin Feng asked Cui ming to be as humanized as possible on the screen and background music, and set it to be more pleasant, just for this purpose《 "Virtual life" depends on advertising to make money. Naturally, I hope that players can log in when they have nothing to do. It's better to hang up. And the next step, Lin Feng is thinking about how to let "virtual life" hang up like QQ.
Of course, Cui Mingze and others have modified the style of the screen according to the folk customs of various countries, so as to ensure that players from all countries will have a sense of intimacy after entering, and will not think it is an online game produced by foreign companies.
Then, after entering the game, the player was surprised again. Because most players find it similar to the city map they are in. Cui Mingze and others temporarily rented a satellite to take satellite maps of major, small and medium-sized cities around the world, and then made them by simple modeling (of course, real 3D cities will appear in the subsequent expansion films), but everything about the city is still blank. There's nothing on this map except a temporary suggested tent for each player.
The whole city is a blank, all players are wearing simple clothes standing on the open map of the city. Seeing all this, all the players are a little silly! About "virtual life", the "second world" official did not report too much, just a brief report of the "virtual life" game type, and almost absolute freedom of player autonomy. Therefore, players do not know how to play virtual life.
But at this point, the system prompts. All players will be able to receive a variety of tasks in the game. The time required to complete each task, the money obtained and the physical fitness consumed are different. At the same time, they will also obtain a certain "citizen honor value" according to the difficulty of the task. This "citizen honor value" will directly affect the players' right to suggest urban development planning in the future. That is to say, the style and type of the city that the player wants to recreate is determined by the "citizen honor value" of the player.
After watching the details of the mission, many players were stunned - isn't this "simulated city"! But now it's up to each player to build a city. And it was built from the very foundation of a city. Although this idea is good, it also makes players excited. After all, it is undoubtedly very tempting to build a city by yourself, especially the city of one's hometown, to make one's dissatisfied hometown more beautiful and reasonable. But players, after all, come for making friends, leisure and entertainment, and also for meeting so many stars and celebrities in the game.
Cui Ming has been prepared for this. Then the system will release a message. Players in all cities will have one month to build their own cities, and each city will be graded by the international environmental organization, and thousands of cities in the game will be ranked. The virtual stars and celebrities signed by the "second world" will live in cities according to the ranking.
This news undoubtedly makes many players jump for it. Think about it, the vast majority of people are unable to see stars, celebrities. Now "virtual life" provides you with an opportunity not only to get in touch with these stars and celebrities, but also to move them to their own cities, which is undoubtedly a very exciting thing. Even if some players don't pursue stars, it doesn't mean they don't have the heart of comparison. Think about it, your city is in the top of the global city rankings, with many stars or celebrities, which itself is a matter of pride. Moreover, in this era, there are no stars who don't like or worship. Entertainment stars, sports stars, celebrities, the vast majority of people always have favorite stars or celebrities.
What's more, for those female players, it's a must kill!
Soon, after a simple understanding of the game, game planning, players will start to act. Start to undertake various tasks according to their own situation. And in this task, many players also gradually realize the fun of "virtual life". Through the cooperation to complete the task, players began to get familiar with each other, talk, and gradually make friends to all kinds of friends, also have their own small team
Looking at the results of the game data, Lin Feng and others nodded. Players have finally begun their journey of "virtual life", and the construction of the city is only preliminary. After that, players will play various roles in the city. Of course, if that's all, it won't attract players to continue playing in the game. In "virtual life", players can build their own houses, decorate their own houses, and then they can meet guests, date and so on. At the same time, we can also participate in the construction of the city according to the "citizen honor value". And then set up the "sports system", so that players can experience the feeling of a sports star.
Originally, Cui Ming hoped that Lin Feng could win the virtual ownership of each sports club, so that players could join each club to compete. This will undoubtedly make many players excited, this era few do not like football or basketball. Unfortunately, even if Lin Feng is the richest man in the world, he can't get the virtual portrait rights of so many sports clubs. Of course, it's not impossible. It's just money. It's still a lot of money, but the cost of "the second world" is too high to bear.
After much consideration, Lin Feng has no choice but to give up his plan to win the virtual portrait rights of major clubs. Instead, each city can freely set up any sports club, and then take the city as the unit to participate. This allows players to have a more urban concept. At the same time, players can also be bound in a large map (super map) as far as possible, so that they do not "run around" as far as possible. Now, the idea of "parallel sharing online mode" has just been put forward, and it has not yet stood the test. If players "change zones" in a large range at this time, in case of problems, it will be enough.
Therefore, to enhance the sense of honor and belonging of the players to their respective cities, so that the players do not easily "change zone", it can be said that there are many at one stroke. Of course, players can also change zones. As long as there is enough "immigration fee" or "transfer fee", players are still very free. They can go to any city in the world at any time, and they enjoy absolute freedom in the game. The only difference is whether the players have enough money. Of course, with the maturity of the "parallel sharing contact mode", the relevant restrictions will be gradually relaxed, and players will be able to travel freely in various cities.
With the players' investment in the game, as time goes by, all kinds of data are continuously collected to the "second world" headquarters.
"Ha ha, boss, we really set a record this time!" Cui Ming looked at the data sheet in his hand and screamed excitedly.
According to statistics, when virtual life was launched, there were 2.13 million online players in the world. Just 10 minutes later, virtual life has more than 5 million of the world's top online players. And the number is increasing. Chinese mainland game player has 1 million 800 thousand game player game player, three Asian players have 1 million 200 thousand online game player, 2 million online players in Europe, and 1 million 400 thousand online players in the US.
And the number is still increasing! One day later, the highest number of online people of "virtual life" exceeded 10 million, becoming the online game second only to "crazy farm". Apart from Crazy farm, virtual life is the most popular online role-playing game.
Looking at the increasing number of online players in virtual life, there is a sound of shock and jealousy inside and outside the industry( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
