Focus on the future!
Wu Zhaopu couldn't figure out how to focus on the future. Although the future of "World War" in accordance with the development of the game, is certainly a large-scale battle. As long as the network traffic can be achieved, as long as the computer hardware can be achieved, there can be a "Third World War" in "World War". Think about it. On the ground, tens of thousands of tanks roared forward, while hundreds of thousands of infantry followed them, braved the barrage of bullets, tens of thousands of fighters roared past in the sky, and clouds rose from explosions in the distance. The scene was really spectacular, tragic and exciting.
But how do you make money—— Wu Zhaopu was puzzled.
Lin Feng smiles.
"Mr. Wu, do you think that in such a large-scale campaign, any war will cost an astronomical amount of money, and how can the money come from?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Through the game. Players can get it by completing tasks, and they can also collect some materials for processing. There are many auxiliary life professions in the game, which are all means to ensure that players can have enough game currency to play the game. " Wu Zhaopu explained.
Lin Feng nodded.
"But Mr. Wu, you have to understand that people, especially men, have endless pursuit of honor and fame. Especially in this peaceful age, many people feel that life is too dull and boring. Many men are looking forward to that kind of life of fighting hard, fighting in the battlefield, being king and worshiping prime minister. Of course, this kind of life can only appear in dreams. And online games can undoubtedly provide them with such an opportunity, especially "World War". Think about it, when you set up a guild to expand territory, unify the country, and finally lead your own department to attack the Empire, build the great cause of all ages, and unify the earth! Think about it, how exciting it is Lin Feng spread out his hands.
Wu Zhaopu closed his eyes and imagined the scene that Lin Feng said. When he stood on the high platform and called out, thousands of good men under him would follow his orders and fight in all directions. That feeling was cool!
"So, with the development of World War, the establishment of guilds and countries, there will be more and more large-scale battles, and even battles far larger than World War II will happen every day. Do you think that at that time, players will have leisure time to make money?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Wu Zhaopu nodded. Indeed, when the "enemy" are not right to kill in, any player will not have leisure elegant to make money. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of his country. In real life, most people can't be this "man", but they can do it in online games. Especially the first person shooting game, originally this is the most easy to arouse all men's desire for a game.
As for the scale of the war, in World War, I really don't worry about the small scale of the war. After all, this is a game, players can do whatever they want in the game, especially in the game to solve many things that can not be solved in reality. For example, in China Japan relations, we can't avenge our compatriots who died in the eight years' anti Japanese war in real life, but we can do it in the game.
The setting of "World War" is completely open. In the game, as long as you want and have the strength, you can completely destroy a "country" and permanently occupy the territory of the country (according to the game settings, if a country is destroyed, the players of their own country can log in to the game again and choose to act as guerrillas or log in again in a third country).
"How do you make money?" Although Wu Zhaopu has been excited by Lin Feng's future "World War" game blueprint, he still doesn't understand how Lin Feng plans to make money.
Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.
"It's very simple. We offer the exchange of game currency and real currency directly." Lin Feng said.
Wu Zhaopu took a sharp breath.
By the company directly provide game currency and real currency exchange, but at present any network game company dare not try. First, if the exchange is provided directly, will the players go to exchange? After all, such a direct exchange will directly create an unfair feeling for all players; Second, how to define the exchange rate? As the game goes on, the price ratio in the game is constantly fluctuating. How to define this ratio? Third, will the state intervene? Fourth, once this charging method is adopted, if the players do not exchange money all the time, the company will not make money at all. How can it maintain its operation? We must know that "World War" will definitely use supercomputers as servers, and will rent optical cables from various countries. The daily maintenance cost is estimated to be about one million US dollars. If players don't exchange, second world won't last long.
Lin Feng poured Wu Zhaopu a cup of tea.
"Mr. Wu, your worry is right, but I don't think it will become an obstacle to this new charging mode. 1、 This kind of direct exchange will only be able to exchange gold coins. In the game, gold coins are not omnipotent. Except for some standard weapons used in stores, you can't buy any high-tech weapons (in the setting of World War II, high-tech weapons need to be manufactured by players. Of course, the higher the technology content of weapons, the higher the technology content of weapons, The more players need the corresponding technology, and they also need to buy the corresponding equipment and raw materials). In addition to ordinary weapons, gold coins can only buy ammunition and various raw materials. " Lin Feng explained.
Wu Zhaopu nodded slowly. If so, it doesn't really change any game balance. After all, no matter how many gold coins you exchange, you can only buy ordinary weapons, while other players can also buy the same weapons. You can't directly change the balance of the game. At most, your ammunition is n times that of others. But in the era of hot weapons, more ammunition does not mean that you are more powerful than others. After all, the first person shooting games, more often test the operation of people.
However, there is another problem, that is, if you can only exchange these, how can you attract players to exchange gold coins—— Wu Zhaopu looked puzzled.
"Very simply, when a large-scale battle breaks out, the president of a guild or the head of a country (which can be served by players) who wants to launch a war or defend territory must call on members to fight. In World War, everything costs money. If members join the guild, they will fight for the interests of the guild. However, the consumption in the process will naturally be provided by the guild. You say, with the territory of "World War", when the war breaks out, will there be an end? Once the war continues, the consumption of these guilds will be far greater than what they can get. If they don't want to destroy the guild, they have to buy guns and ammunition from the game system! " Lin Feng said with a smile.
Wu Zhaopu thought carefully, as Lin Feng said. It's true that the war is going on. It's a great expense. I'm afraid any guild can't afford it. And let members bear the consumption alone, I'm afraid there will only be one result, that is, members have defected to join other guilds. After all, "World War" is a first person shooting game, not a cold weapon game like "legend" and "world of Warcraft". A sword or a knife can be used for half a day and can be maintained.
In World War, every bullet is money!
"Besides, if these guilds occupy a place, they need to build it, and the construction needs money. Where does the money come from? It's too slow to make money in the game. Therefore, they can only find the system to buy. So, what we earn is the money of those who want to be generals and marshals. And these people, money! Of course, apart from these people, ordinary players will spend money if they don't want to join the guild or want to upgrade their weapons. When they don't have enough money, they naturally have to exchange it. After all, the rhythm of war games is far more than that of any other games. Once a war breaks out, it will not end until there is a division between the victory and the defeat and the death of one party. According to my conservative estimation, the amount of cash that will be exchanged every day will exceed ten million dollars. " Lin Fengmu guangjiong said.
Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. Indeed, as Lin Feng said, there is a huge demand for money in the future games, but what's the proportion? What's the exchange rate? If it's not fair, it will cause criticism from players.
"Mr. Wu, let alone worry about this. Didn't our company set up a second world monetary organization before? Managed by former World Bank Vice President Annie Kruger and former world monetary fund President Michel kantsu! With their ability, can't they manage the ratio of virtual currency exchange well? " Lin Feng said with ease.
Wu Zhaopu turns to think about it and says that he is confused. The former presidents of the world's two major financial organizations are all in the company, and their worries are really superfluous.
But in this way, will the state intervene?
"Rest assured, as long as our virtual currency will not impact normal financial currency, there will be no problem." Lin Feng said.
Virtual currency is a kind of virtual currency, whose existence depends entirely on the virtual world. If you want to impact the real currency, unless the virtual world has become a part of the whole world, it is indispensable. At that time, if the state wants to intervene, it may also consider the series of reactions caused by the intervention.
Of course, Lin Feng's ultimate dream is to make the "second world currency" become a currency circulating in the world one day in the future. Of course, at present, it is far from this goal!
"Boss, what if netizens don't exchange it all the time? In other words, the outbreak of war is not as fast as we think. What should we do? The daily cost of server maintenance and broadband is not a small number. " Wu Zhaopu worried.
Originally, world war was set as the world background before the first World War, but considering that if it came out as the background of the first World War, the player's computer and server could not load this super large world war, and the computer would crash. Therefore, Lin Feng finally proposed to start from ancient times. Let all players into the game, into the stone age. Let players start the game from this era, starting from cutting down dinosaurs and fighting with nature, and then slowly upgrade technology, from the stone age to the bronze age, then to the iron age, then to the firearms age, then to the modern weapons age, and even the future science and technology age.
In this long road of upgrading, "second world" will spare no effort to develop computers with better performance and faster optical fiber, so as to eventually reach a battlefield that can accommodate millions or even tens of millions of people.
The original design was right, but now Lin Feng decided to take the free mode, and let the players exchange the game currency to charge. During the long upgrade process, I'm afraid the players' cost is limited, and they can't make money. How can the company bear the amazing maintenance cost every day?
For Wu Zhaopu's worries, Lin Feng did not care.
"Mr. Wu, this is very simple. Although in this long upgrade process, the demand for gold coins is really small, but not without. Because there will also be wars, such as bows and arrows, knives, and so on. Although players usually have one hand, but the knife will be damaged, and the bow and arrow is a consumable. What's more, the ancient wars were vast in territory, and the journey took a lot of time. In the "world city war" game settings, players need to eat every day, otherwise they will consume physical strength and reduce combat effectiveness. And it costs money to buy grain and grass. General manager Wu, once a war is on a large scale, the cost will be huge. Although it may not be as much as the era of hot weapons, it is no less. " Lin Feng explained.
After hearing this, Wu Zhaopu gave a thumbs up to Lin Feng. This kind of charging mode is really suitable for World War. However, Wu Zhaopu felt that Lin Feng's ambition was more than that.
"Well, indeed, I want more. This time, I think players can try to sell virtual currency directly in the game. " Lin Feng said.
what! So that players can also directly sell virtual currency in the game? This is too big to play—— Wu Zhaopu exclaimed.
"Mr. Wu, why are you so surprised?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"Why are you so surprised? Boss, isn't that surprising? Players sell virtual currency directly. What does it mean? It means that real currency can circulate with virtual currency. " Wu Zhaopu exclaimed.
Lin Feng shakes his fingers.
"Mr. Wu, players can sell virtual currency in the game, which does not mean that virtual currency and real currency can circulate. It's just more convenient for players to exchange money. But also stimulate the enthusiasm of the game players Lin Feng laughs.
If you can directly exchange game currency, then players will be more crazy( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
