Chapter 1193 100,000 Simultaneous Online
After actually experiencing the silky network experience of servers in this region, the players who had cursed the official before immediately praised it.
Players in this era are so simple. As long as you meet their needs, improve the shortcomings in your operations, and even make compensation, you can get praise from players.
Of course, there are still some players who are very dissatisfied with them. These players are Wanwan players because they found that they do not have exclusive Taiwanese servers. If they log in to the game, the official recommended server is the Chinese regional server.
This made many Wanwan dissatisfied. Some people even protested, demanding that the Wanwan area server be opened separately. Then the official announcement was given, "Wanwan is an indivisible territory of China. Wanwan naturally belongs to the China service area area. Please respect the opponents."
The Wanwan players were furious when they read this announcement, but there was no way. Then they took the initiative to choose to go to the Southeast Asian server.
As a result, Wanwan players found that when they arrived at the Southeast Asian server, the network was much worse than before the update. They used to move two steps to get stuck.
Now I have to move the card twice and there is no way to play it. This makes many Wanwan players completely helpless and can only give up the Southeast Asian server and return to the Chinese server.
Well, although some of the Wanwan still have backbone, it means that since you don’t have a Wanwan server, I won’t play it anymore.
However, most of the Wanwan players who were clamoring with big mouths finally accepted the result and went to the China server obediently. After all, this game is so fun, I can't help it!
Later, because the Chinese server only accepts input from simplified or English, Wanwan, who are used to traditional Chinese characters, even had to actively use the input method of simplified Chinese characters in order to communicate in the server. This also created a group of Wanwan players who can master simplified Chinese characters. It is really interesting!
In addition to server updates, another important thing that can cause changes to players is the update of point card charges.
This update still made some players unhappy, but the number of these players is not large, only a small group.
After all, this is not the era of free games rampant, but the era of players coming into contact with online games for the first time. At this time, gamers were all transferred from stand-alone games.
If you have to pay for stand-alone games, then online games naturally need to pay for them. This is a very normal thing. There is nothing to say more. Just don’t want to pay or play.
Therefore, the charges for the card did not cause much storm and were accepted by players all over the world.
Then there is the terrifying user growth rate of Diablo OL.
This is exactly the second anniversary of the release of Diablo. In the past two years, Diablo 2 has basically been played by players.
Although Diablo has an endless cave mode than in previous lives, which can delay players' game duration as much as possible, due to technical reasons, endless cave actually has an end. As long as 100 bosses are killed, the endless cave can pass the level and obtain the magical equipment inside.
Although it is very difficult, after two years, countless high-level games have released strategies, and a large number of players have passed the level.
Once the Endless Cave is passed, the fun of Diablo will naturally plummet.
Although many games similar to the Diablo system appeared during this period, both the quality and the fun were far inferior to the genuine Diablo. Everyone was eagerly looking forward to the appearance of Diablo 2.
But unexpectedly, before Diablo 2 entered the market, the online game "Diablo OL" appeared, which directly continued the expectations of many Diablo players.
As the online game version of "Diablo", "Diablo OL" is a prequel to Diapolo in the plot, describing the Diapolo's continent when it has not yet been lifted and has arrived.
Therefore, players can see many scenes that are not available in "Diablo" in online games, such as those NPCs who have died in the plot, and those cities that have been completely destroyed by the dark army. At this moment, they all present their original appearance in front of the players, which is very interesting and greatly attracts the curiosity of players.
With the emergence of the first update "The Tide of Darkness", some players who have a deep study of the dark plot have discovered that this is a precursor to the appearance of Diapolo?
Does this mean that players can experience the plot before Diapolo broke the seal?
Because in the plot of "Diablo" in this world, when the players arrived, the three demon kings had already broken the seal, and the players began to save the world directly.
But now, the tranquility of the world before the prosperous storm, all the three demons were obediently sealed, and there was no trouble in the world yet.
Therefore, the first thing many players do when logging in to the game is to kill Leorek, who seems to be still a wise monarch, to avoid this guy from unblocking the seal of the big pineapple.
Of course, these are useless work, after all, most NPCs cannot be attacked.
Back to the topic, players found that "Diablo OL" is indeed one of "Diablo", and in terms of picture quality, it is better than "Diablo" two years ago.
Finally and most importantly, this is not a stand-alone player. They can play games in the same world with their good friends. This is the biggest and most irresistible attraction.
So, all Diablo players began to spontaneously recommend the online game version, pulling friends around them into the trap.
And because most of these friends are Diablo players themselves, they have no resistance to Amway.
In just two months, the total number of registered players of Diablo exceeded 1 million, and the number of online users reached 100,000, creating an unmatched data.
This forced Penguin Game to add 40 servers in 60 days to divert players around the world.
I also knew that after this, the number of players in Diablo OL gradually subsided.
However, according to Zhong Yu's investigation, the main reason for the slowdown in the number of players in Diablo OL is not that potential players have run out.
On the contrary, at least millions of players are dreaming of entering the world of Diablo OL. After all, the original body of Diablo has sold nearly 30 million copies.
