Chapter 803 Tens of millions online

On August 8, 2003, at 9 a.m. Beijing time, "Virtual Life" officially launched a public beta test. The public beta test was originally scheduled for 12 noon, but many domestic players complained that the server always opened at noon, making them unable to eat normally. After all, they were waiting.

It's about to go online. It's 12 o'clock at noon. Who is in the mood to eat? I wish I could have fun for a while. As for how long this time will be, it's hard to say.

After a while, just play for a while. - This is the mantra of countless players.

Therefore, after many considerations, "Second World" made a democratic and fair decision, and finally set the official open beta at 9 a.m. Beijing time.

For the open beta of "Virtual Life", all players around the world have been waiting for the launch of the game at 9 a.m. Beijing time.

"Grandma, time is passing so slowly today!" In the Internet cafe, many players watched the seconds go by eagerly, feeling inexplicably anxious. They could have been playing games and watching movies while waiting.

This is a short period of suffering. However, many players are afraid that like "Swordsman Love Online", they will be unable to log in too late. In order to log in to "Swordsman Love Online", many players gave up their efforts, but now they can

I don’t want to make the same mistake again, delaying the “business” because of a little fun, and then watching other people playing games and just being anxious on the sidelines, that kind of feeling is not pleasant.

You must know that this is a game with a global unified server, and it is said that there will be many mm, dating, entertainment and casual games, plus an ingenious "sports system", which is enough to make every male player crazy. As for female players, they are the stars of "Virtual Life"

And celebrities 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. And according to the gossip of an employee of "Second World" (Lin Feng deliberately let people reveal it), players can not only become friends with celebrities in the game.

, they can even become lovers, or even get married (of course, the "Second World" does not guarantee whether they will eventually get married).

Thinking about this, countless female players are crazy about it. What's more, "Virtual Life" promises to be absolutely free forever, which is also a temptation for female players. Previously, "Audition" spent too much money on it, and

Most female fans are unable to work and are still students, which is opposed by many parents. Now that "Virtual Life" is completely free, they no longer have to worry about any pressure from their parents. As long as they can make it

Just pay the Internet fee! This is absolutely not a problem for the vast majority of female players.

With the addition of female players, will there still be fewer male players?

However, waiting is always an annoying thing, especially when waiting for a game that you have longed for and longed for, the mood is even more urgent, as if there are thousands of ants crawling in your heart, it is very uncomfortable.

The first leisure and entertainment dating online game, the first global unified server online game, and the first Chengpiao astronomy game. These three firsts make all players look forward to it and get excited about it.

Finally, the long wait has finally come to fruition, nine o'clock has finally arrived!

For the first time, the player who had been waiting for a long time opened the client with a hand speed of 400apm+ exceeding that of "nada", a star-rated player known as "Nada", entered his account and password, and then clicked to log in. According to a magazine

Random survey, at this moment, the player clicks on the client, enters the account number and password, and finally enters the game. It only takes 3.7 seconds on average for each player! It also creates the fastest world to log in to the game, Gillis World.

Record. Of course, this record has no witnesses!

With the cry of a baby, the player enters the game "Virtual Life". At the beginning, all the players see is a slightly old-fashioned setting. However, what surprises the player is that this setting is too detailed.

It's a bit too detailed. There are various settings from height, age, weight, hobbies. Of course, you can base it on your real situation, or you can make it up, and there is no limit to the "second world"

The information must be real, and players can make it up. After all, in "Virtual Life", everyone is encouraged to play another version of themselves. The original intention of the game is to let players experience another kind of life, which is a boring, boring, and even a bit decadent real life.

Inject a little hope, or a little sunshine. And players can upload their own avatar, so that when the other party queries your information in the game, they will be able to see your avatar.

After a long setting, the player enters the game. When they first enter the game, all the players are amazed. The whole picture is an antique style with Chinese ink painting. The whole picture is extremely beautiful, and the player enters it.

It feels as if you are in an ancient painting, and your whole mood can't help but relax, and the sound of Chinese classical folk music, silk and bamboo ringing in your ears is refreshing and refreshing.

It’s not bad just to log in to the game every day to look at this picture and listen to this music! - Many players sighed in their hearts. "Virtual Life" is completely free. They can log in every day and do nothing but hang up.

As everyone knows, Lin Feng asked Cui Mingze to make the graphics and background music as humane as possible, and to make the settings more pleasant, just for this purpose. "Virtual Life" relies on advertising to make money, so naturally it hopes that players can log in without any problems, so it is best to hang up.

, that would be great. And the next step, Lin Feng is thinking about how to make "Virtual Life" hang up like QQ.

Of course, Cui Mingze and others have modified this picture style according to the folk customs of various countries to ensure that players from all countries will have a sense of intimacy after entering it and will not feel that this is an online game produced by a foreign company.

Later, after entering the game, players were pleasantly surprised again. Because most players found that this seemed to be very similar to the city map they were in. Cui Mingze and others temporarily rented a satellite and took photos using satellite photography.

Satellite maps of major, medium and small cities around the world were simply modeled (of course, real 3D cities will appear in subsequent expansion packs), but everything in the city is still blank. On this map, except for each player's temporary

The suggestion is that there is nothing outside the tent.

The entire city was blank, and all the players were wearing simple clothes and standing on the empty map of the city. Seeing all this, all the players were a little dumbfounded! Regarding "Virtual Life", the "Second World" official did not report too much, but

A brief report on the game type of "Virtual Life" and the almost absolute freedom of player autonomy. Therefore, players still do not understand how to play "Virtual Life".

But at this moment, the system prompts. All players will be able to receive various tasks in the game. The time required to complete each task, the money earned, and the physical energy consumption are different. At the same time, a certain amount will be obtained according to the difficulty of the task.

"Citizen Honor Value", and this "Citizen Honor Value" will directly affect the player's right to make suggestions for urban development planning in the future. In other words, what style and type do players want to remake the city they previously lived in?

It is determined by the player's "citizen honor value".

After reading the details of the mission, many players were stunned - isn't this "Sim City"! But now each player cooperates to build a city. And it starts from the very foundation of a city. Although this idea is good,

It also makes players excited. After all, it is very tempting to build a city yourself, especially a city in your own hometown, to make your originally dissatisfied hometown more beautiful and more reasonable. But after all, players are here to make friends.

, come for leisure and entertainment, and also come for the chance to meet so many stars and celebrities in the game.

Cui Mingze was also prepared for this. Immediately, the system released a message. Players in all cities will have one month to build their own cities, and by then each city will be rated by an international environmental organization. The game

Thousands of cities among them will be ranked. The virtual stars and celebrities signed by "Second World" will choose the best cities to move to based on this ranking.

This news undoubtedly makes many players excited. Think about it, most people are unable to meet celebrities and celebrities. Now "Virtual Life" provides everyone with an opportunity, not only to allow everyone to meet these celebrities, celebrities

This is undoubtedly a very exciting thing. Even if some players are not star-chasing, it does not mean that they have no desire to compare. Think about it, your city is in the world

Being at the top of the city rankings and having many stars or celebrities is a proud thing in itself. What's more, in this era, there are no stars that we don't like or admire. Entertainment stars, sports stars, celebrities, most people

There is always a favorite star or celebrity.

What's more, for those female players, this is simply a surefire weapon!

Not long after, after a brief understanding of the game methods and game planning, players began to take action. They began to undertake various tasks according to their own circumstances. In this task, many players gradually realized the fun of "Virtual Life". Through

By collaborating to complete tasks, players begin to get to know each other, start talking, and gradually make various friends and form their own small teams...

Looking at the results displayed by the game data, Lin Feng and others nodded repeatedly. Players have finally begun their "virtual life" journey, and building a city is only the beginning. After that, players will play various roles in the city. Of course, if that's all

, that will not attract players to continue playing in the game. In "Virtual Life", players can build their own houses, decorate their own houses, and then receive guests, go on dates, etc. At the same time, they can also use the "citizen honor value" to

"Come and participate in the construction of the city. And the "Sports System" subsequently opened allows players to experience the feeling of a sports star.

Originally, Cui Mingze hoped that Lin Feng could take over the virtual ownership of various sports clubs, so that players can join various clubs to compete. This will undoubtedly excite many players. There are few people in this era who don't like football or basketball. Unfortunately, even if

Lin Feng is the richest man in the world, and he cannot get the virtual image rights of so many sports clubs. Of course, it is not impossible, it just requires money. And it is still a lot of money, but in this way, the cost of the "second world" will be too high

It's totally unbearable.

After much consideration, Lin Feng reluctantly gave up his plan to obtain the virtual image rights of major clubs. Instead, each city can freely form any sports club and then compete on a city-by-city basis. This will allow players to have a better sense of the city. At the same time, it can also

Bind the players into a large map (super large map) as much as possible, so that they do not "move around" as much as possible. The idea of ​​"parallel shared online mode" has just been proposed and has not been tested. If this

Sometimes players "change zones" on a large scale. If something goes wrong, it will be very embarrassing.

Therefore, improving players' sense of honor and belonging to their respective cities, and preventing players from "changing districts" easily, can serve multiple purposes. Of course, players can also change districts, as long as there are enough "immigration fees" or "transfer fees"

In this category, players are still very free. They can go to any city in the world at any time. Players enjoy absolute freedom in the game. The only difference is whether the "money" in the player's hands is enough. Of course, in the future, with the "parallel sharing connection"

As the "model" matures, this related restriction will gradually be relaxed, and players will be able to travel freely through various cities.

As players invest in the game, time passes by, and various data are continuously collected into the "Second World" headquarters.

"Haha, boss, we really set a record this time!" Cui Mingze looked at the data sheet in his hand and screamed excitedly.

According to statistics, when "Virtual Life" was launched, the total number of online players in the world reached 2.13 million. Just 10 minutes later, the number of online players in "Virtual Life" exceeded 5 million. And this number is still increasing.

.Three hours after the server was launched, there were 1.8 million online players in mainland China, 1.2 million online players in Asian countries, 2 million online players in Europe, and 1.4 million online players in the United States.

And this number is still increasing! One day later, the maximum number of online users of "Virtual Life" exceeded 10 million, becoming the second largest online game after "Farm Frenzy". If "Farm Frenzy" is excluded, "Virtual Life"

It is undoubtedly the large-scale role-playing online game with the largest number of online users.
Chapter completed!
