Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 85 The gameplay of "Sect faction" is online!
In the past two weeks, Fang Jie's main focus has been on the overseas securities market.

In terms of games, I haven't paid much attention to it for the time being, and no new gameplay has been added.

Even so, many changes have taken place in the game.

The first is that the number of registered players has exceeded 2, and the average number of online players has risen to 3500-4000 per day. It is even more on weekends, especially during the National War on Friday. At the peak, nearly 6000 people are online.

Two server hosts were added before, so that the server can carry more than 5000 people online at the same time. Now more than half a month has passed, this standard has reached or even exceeded.

In addition to the playability, fluency of the game itself, and the promotion of tap players, the reason for the substantial increase in the number of players is also related to Li Yu, who is an editor at NetEase.

During this time, he wrote 5 or 6 related soft articles. Although the articles were not on the front page, they still attracted many netizens who had never been in contact with MUD games.

At this moment, NetEase News is the current Douyin, which can bring a lot of traffic.

Coupled with the macro button client that has simplified the operation a lot, and the thirteen novice tutors and old players in the game who take the trouble to answer questions, many of these new players have stayed, unlike before, they would lose at least 90%. % or more of the white players.

However, although the number of players has doubled, the domestic daily turnover has not doubled, but has only risen from more than 5 to over 7.

This is normal, because the economic income level of the follow-up players is a level lower, and it is already a pain for them to recharge a hundred and 80 yuan. Many people are just prostitutes, and even the game coins they brushed out are reluctant to use them. They were all sold and exchanged for RMB.

Fang Jie neither opposed nor supported this situation, and let it go.

No support is of course because it affects the game's revenue. He can't encourage players to do this, and he is not a charity in playing games.

The reason why he did not object is mainly because he can fully understand the player's behavior, and he did the same in his previous life.

These diaosi little white players actually didn't make any money. They were just playing games while subsidizing some internet fees. They weren't the kind of professional players who were large-scale, and they didn't cause much damage to the balance of the game.

And from the perspective of business concepts in later generations, in essence, customers are the most valuable resources. With customers, it is equivalent to having traffic, which in turn is equivalent to having money.

Many industries in later generations, such as free games, free anti-virus, free video and other free models, are simply to seize customer resources. Although they do not make money or even burn money at the beginning, they are also prostituted by customers for free, but eventually they will be monetized through traffic. Earn money back in other ways.

Therefore, although most of the small white players are prostitution games, Fang Jie doesn't care much.

Let the leeks grow first, and then there are ways to cut the leeks.

Besides, he is not short of that money now...

In overseas securities accounts, as expected, the US stock market has been rebounding and rising sharply at the opening of the market today. The stock index has returned to 4800 points, which has reduced the funds on the account from 119 million to 96 US dollars.

But it is still a huge profit, equivalent to RMB 765 million!
The overseas current account has an average daily turnover of almost 3000 US dollars. After almost emptying the funds in it last week, it now has another 2.3 US dollars, which is equivalent to RMB 19.

As for the domestic game running account, after more than half a month of accumulation, there is now 185 million RMB lying in it!

The three accounts total 965 million!
It's a pity that if it weren't for the sharp rise in U.S. stocks today, the 1000 million would be rounded up!

The securities market is like this. It is normal to go up and down every day. This wave of rebound was already within Fang Jie's prediction.

In one day, more than 20 US dollars of floating profit was withdrawn, and the withdrawal rate was close to 20%, which was acceptable in Fang Jie's view.

The so-called "drawback rate" is a professional term in the securities industry, which refers to the maximum return rate when the net value of the product reaches the lowest point when any historical point in the cycle is pushed back, that is, even if it has earned 100% before. 20, lost [-] of them today, that is also a failed investment.

In normal financial investment institutions, such as funds, if the maximum drawdown rate of funds exceeds 10-20%, generally speaking, it will be dissolved. If a trader makes such a drawdown rate, it is a transaction accident, and it may be lost on the same day. will be fired directly from the company.

But Fang Jie knows the trend, so the risk is controllable, not to mention the 20% retracement rate, even if it is 100%, he can accept it, the big deal is to start all over again.

Back to the game.

In the Xiangyang City-Country War tonight, there was an obvious stuck situation.

Some players couldn't help but complain in the chat channel, but most of the players understood, and many of them also spoke for Lord Tenjin.

After all, there are too many players. It is estimated that there are not as many players in all MUD stations in the country combined.

Up to now, everyone can no longer have too high extravagant expectations, and feel that the gods are really trying their best...

It's not just the carton problem.

The number of troops invested by the computer AI is far from enough for players to brush.

During the first and second Xiangyang City-State War, the players fought bravely to kill the enemy, and many people died N times before barely defending the city.

The reason why the players fight so hard is of course not purely because of national justice.

The main reason is that if one player fails, before the next national war, the entire server will increase the transaction tax by 30%. No matter what game items the player buys, the cost will increase by 30%, and all quest rewards will be reduced by 30%.

In essence, it is a full server penalty BUFF.

The reason given by Lord Tianshen is that "under the nest, there will be no eggs". Since the country has collapsed and the family has become a slave of the subjugated country, and become a fourth-class subordinate, it is of course reasonable for people to charge a head tax. If you want to blame you, players No seed, if you have the ability, you can win it back next time!
This is very exciting, so every Friday night, players who can come up will come up, and players who usually hang up will stop the script and sit in front of the computer to control their characters and defend the city to the death.

But now, due to the sharp increase in the number of players, the player has an overwhelming advantage in the national war, and defending the city is not too easy.

Yes, in the national war now, you have to grab it, otherwise you may not be able to earn military exploits.

On the other hand, the effect of recovering game currency in National Warfare is also greatly reduced, which is one of the reasons why the turnover has not increased significantly recently.

However, due to the lack of server performance, Fang Jie couldn't increase the NPC's troops by a large amount, otherwise it would cause the server to go down directly.

The solution, of course, is to buy a new server, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is extremely uneconomical and unnecessary to continue investing in new servers for the once-a-week national war.

Just like the Spring Festival every year, it is impossible for the country to put a large number of trains into production in order to keep the efficiency of the Spring Festival as usual. This is a waste.

Therefore, after the national war that night, Fang Jie launched the game that he had planned and prepared.

Game Announcement: The server will restart after 1 minute, and the "Sect Camp" gameplay will be online!
