Chapter 359 Public Enemy of the Industry
One hour after it went online, the number of registered users exceeded 50,000.
Two hours after it was launched, the number of registered users exceeded 150,000.
After six hours of online launch, the number of registered users exceeded 500,000.
At twelve o'clock that night, the number of registered users exceeded 2 million, and the highest number of online users exceeded 300,000 at the same time.
This number completely shocked major online game companies. You know, "Honor of Kings" has only been online for a day. To be precise, it has only been online for twelve hours and achieved such amazing results. Who else can stop its rise?
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, "Honor of Kings" continued to show its strength, with the number of registered users exceeding five million, and the highest number of online users at the same time exceeded five hundred and fifty thousand.
This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that "Honor of Kings" is free! It is free!
After a day of fermentation, "Honor of Kings" broke the industry's conventions and implemented the free online game completely shocked the online game industry in the Celestial Empire. All kinds of stunned, swearing, and sneering were all over the face.
...
Shengda Network.
"I just said that Guanghui Games is a messenger, and they can't stand us making money."
"Free online games? The games will be free in the future. Who is willing to spend a lot of effort to develop a good game?"
"We need to consider jointly banning Guanghui Games, and no one is allowed to cooperate with them."
"It seems that they are not working with any game company now. If they have to cooperate, they will be Penguin and Dunie, but these two companies are not something we can ban."
"I'm chewing on my dad, I'm so troubled by them during the holidays."
"The number of people online in our "Legendary World" seems to have dropped a bit in the past two days."
"Is Guanghui Games going to be against the entire industry?"
...
The ninth city.
"It turns out that if you don't make a sound, you'll make a splash."
"Yes, we just obtained the exclusive agency operation rights of World of Warcraft in the Celestial Empire last year and planned to be publicly beta in April this year. I wonder if it will be affected."
"It is impossible to have no impact at all, I just hope that Guanghui Games will not make the huge profitable online game industry a loss."
"Not that, although the game is free, props still have to be charged."
"This depends on the profitability of "Honor of Kings". The company has arranged for developers to try out "Honor of Kings". If this model can really make money, we should also consider following up."
...
NetEase Games.
"Arranging personnel to closely follow up on the situation of "Honor of Kings", I want to get the first-hand news."
"Okay, we have asked some of the people who are on vacation to follow up at home, and the Development Department and the Marketing Department have arranged multiple personnel to experience "Honor of Kings".
"The Guanghui Game has opened another door for everyone, but I can't close it anymore."
"Yes, I used to rely on point card charges, but now I have changed to the prop charge mode. I don't know how big the difference between the two methods is."
"Look at it, it will probably take a short time for news to come out."
...
Although the conflict between Guanghui Games and various companies has nothing to do with Penguin Games, Boss Ma, who is far away in Shenzhen, has a very sensitive sense of smell and feels that the spring of the Celestial Online Games is coming. He quickly instructed the Penguin Games platform to launch the company's first online game - Penguin Fantasy. This game, as the first online game pioneering work under Penguin Company, was originally launched several months later, but Boss Ma could no longer wait to see the popularity of "Honor of Kings", and started Penguin's journey in the online game industry in advance.
...
While online game companies are constantly discussing Glory Games and "Glory of Kings", more people on the Internet are paying attention to "Seeing and Not Seeing", which indirectly drives the attention of Glory Games.
At present, the number of fans of Guanghui Games on Guanghui Weibo official account has exceeded three million, and it is still increasing rapidly in the past two days.
Many people are speculating that the author of the poem "Seeing and Not Seeing" has already spread to the cultural circle from Guanghui Weibo.
In recent years, the Celestial Empire lacked very famous poetry works, and in this environment, "Seeing and Not Seeing" has attracted more widespread attention.
Especially for various imitations of netizens, almost all netizens have seen this poem or adapted poem in just two days.
Even the public security organs of a certain city imitated the language and style of "Seeing and Not Seeing", posted information on the official website, urging fugitives to surrender: "If you escape, or don't run away, the matter is there, and it will not change. If you run away, or don't run away, the net is there, and you will not retreat. If you think, or don't think, the law is there, and it is impartial. If you surrender or don't surrender, the police will be there, and you will never give up. If you surrender as soon as possible, or if you are in a panic all day long, it is boring to escape, and it is great to end it."
...
"Jiang Hui, did you write this poem?" He Ling asked.
"Haha, you think it's right, it's not," Jiang Hui said with a haha.
"So is it or not? Everyone on the Internet said that they had never read this poem," He Ling said.
"That's right," Jiang Hui had to say with a shameless face that he wrote it himself.
"Why have you never seen you write poetry before?" He Ling asked.
"Poetry, poetry and songs are the same. I have written many songs, so it is not surprising that I will write a poem now," said Jiang Hui.
...
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, on the fifth day of "Honor of Kings" was launched, just as Jiang Hui was about to return to his hometown, the number of registered people officially exceeded 10 million, and the highest number of online people exceeded 800,000. It immediately set a new record for the number of online people at the same time in the Tianchao online game.
Although in 2002, the highest number of online users of "Legend" in "Legend" exceeded 600,000. In 2003, the highest number of online users of all games in Shengda Network exceeded one million. However, until early 2005, there was no single game with online users exceeding 800,000 at the same time. Guanghui Games completely disrupted the pattern of Tianchao online games.
To measure whether an online game is popular, the maximum number of people online at the same time is a very important indicator. It represents the fun and attractiveness of the game to a certain extent.
Another important indicator to measure whether a game is successful is profitability.
The revenue of "Honor of Kings" was not very large on the day it was launched, only more than 600,000, but it increased rapidly from the next day.
One million and a half million.
Three million and five million.
Six million.
Nine million.
The charges for props on the fifth day of online launch have reached as much as nine million. I wonder how this number will be felt by Shengda Network and the Ninth City Lighting Company.
Guanghui Games is a 100% controlled enterprise in Jiang Hui. It has no obligation to disclose financial statements to the outside world. In order not to stimulate everyone, Jiang Hui asked the Finance Department to keep the income of "Honor of Kings" confidential and try to make outsiders unable to grasp the accurate income situation.
