Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 65 No One Before, No One Later

The first Xiangyang City National War can be said to be the largest national war in the history of Chinese online games and even the history of global online games. The number of players participating in the war on the same server has set a world record.

And this record will be constantly refreshed by myself in the future. It can be said that it is unprecedented.

Many years later, in the eyes of the players who participated in the war at that time, this national war is still victorious, glorious, great, and worth remembering.

In the eyes of later generations of players, it is extremely enviable, moving, and evocative.

But what they didn't know was that, that night, Fang Jie, who had been monitoring the progress of the national war and server data, had let the water go.

There is no way to not release water. During the peak period, the number of online players reached more than 2900, and it almost broke 3000. If the number of Mongolian soldiers was not controlled, the game server might collapse on the spot.

Even if the number of NPCs was controlled, the server lag phenomenon was quite obvious during the National War.

Fortunately, players who are already in a state of madness have ignored this, or a large amount of adrenaline has been stimulated, making them ignore this small flaw.

Since the gameplay system of Xiangyang City National War is a temporary development, and many contents have not been added, the hostile forces of this first national war were manually delivered by Fang Jie using the GM number, rather than the AI ​​​​automatically discriminating and delivering.

In this way, it seems that the Mongolian army is strong, and the entire battle process is very dangerous. In fact, it is a fraud. There are not as many Mongolian soldiers attacking the city as players imagined, but the difficulty of defending the city is not low.

The player's opponent is actually Fang Jie, and his approach is to invest some NPC troops wherever there are few players on the Xiangyang City map. As a result, the players feel that the pressure of defending the city is extremely high, and in the end, they will win more with less. After winning, I naturally feel very arrogant.

Well, since players are so fond of self-promotion, he is happy to see it happen.

In particular, I am very satisfied that after the end of the national war, most of the players have dropped the level, and they have lost a lot, and the game drugs have been consumed a lot.

But at the same time, players agreed that this national war activity is very exciting and very fun, and they all expressed their expectation to fight again next Friday!
Players drop the level, which is essentially equivalent to recovering a large amount of game currency.

The logic of this is that the level is trained by the massive potential, and the potential is earned by the quest, and doing the quest... Flying Boots to understand?
In the end, what the national war consumes is actually the game currency to buy flying boots.

Followed by game drug consumption.

The medicine pills in the martial arts MUD are rare treasures of genius, not the unlimited supply of potion bottles in Western online games.

These pills all come from game tasks and puzzle solving, and the store does not sell them.

Usually, if players want to recover their qi and blood value, they are recovered through internal strength and luck, which consumes internal force value, and internal force value is recovered by meditation, so there is no need for drugs such as red bottle and blue bottle.

There is no shortage of items that are full of blood and inner strength in an instant, such as Jiuhua Yulu Pill, but this thing is particularly difficult to obtain. It is almost 20 missions to see if one can be randomly rewarded, and it must be a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, and it is usually used in an emergency. life-saving medicine.

And this national war has basically consumed all the Jiuhua Yulu pills that players have accumulated since entering the game. In the next national war, it is estimated that the number of deaths and the number of deaths will be even more, unless the next week quickly Brush tasks to engage in elixir.

As a result, the consumption of flying boots naturally increased further.

The whole routine is very deep, deeper than the routines of the previous gameplay systems.

At this moment, few players realize that the fundamental purpose of the launch of the National Warfare system is to recover the game coins on them.

Everyone just thinks that Lord Tianshen is too caring and excellent. I really want to think of players, and they have developed such a crazy gameplay.

Even after a few years, many players still do not realize this, or realize it, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the fun and pleasure of the game from the national war.

In order to recover the game currency more effectively, Fang Jie deliberately set the duration of the national war to 4 hours.

Fortunately, it is Friday, and everyone can fully accept this schedule.

Those four hours were a huge test not only for the servers, but for the players as well.

For four hours, the concentration was high and the spirit was high, which made many players slump as soon as the national war ended.

Of course, there are also many players who are too excited to fall asleep, chatting all night in the game channel about various topics related to the national war, exchanging experience and so on.

Fang Jie's side, before 9 pm, let Li Qing go home early alone.

After the end of the national war, he did not go home immediately, but made some analysis on the data related to the national war to prepare for further adjustment and improvement of the national war system.

From the perspective of player losses, this time it was a bit ruthless. Nearly 3000 players died on average at least 2 times each.

That is to say, the players have lost at least level 20 in all martial arts, and the corresponding potential lost is already astronomical, and this is not even the penalty of halving the potential.

Therefore, in the next national war, you can consider reducing the duration of 1 hour, and then weaken the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army's high-end NPCs, but increase the number of low-end Mongolian troops, and give those players who are weaker a chance to gain military exploits, otherwise the cannon fodder players will Times do not necessarily have the enthusiasm to participate in the national war.

As for the setting of the number of times to start a national war once a week, there is no need to modify it. If there are 2 or 3 national wars a week, it is estimated that players who have not had time to recover their strength will not be able to withstand this stimulation, and may eventually become a tasteless game.

It won't work after a long time. If there is a national war every two weeks, then according to the current daily flow, the game currency in the game may have flooded into a disaster.

After some analysis and thinking, Fang Jie felt that the National Warfare system has overachieved the task of recovering game coins, so the second-level PK gameplay can be slowed down a little, and there is no need to release it for the time being.

After sorting out these things, I looked at the time, it was almost 1 am.

Thinking of going to the provincial capital tomorrow, Fang Jie, who was also nervous all night, hurriedly packed up and went home.

When he got home, the family had already slept. Tonight was the first time he had come home so late. Fortunately, he bribed his father, otherwise he might get a belt if he woke up tomorrow morning.

Habitually came to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, and also habitually looked at the window of Li Qing's living room opposite. Although the lights were turned off there, and the familiar figure was not seen, Fang Jie was smoking a cigarette so quietly. facing opposite.

In the past years, he has come here like this. Even if he is reborn, the habit has already been formed, and he can't change it if he wants to.
