Game of the World Tree - Chapter 484
484. Chapter 482 Public Beta Announcement (Update)
In a quiet room, two big boys each held a mobile phone, looking at something seriously.
After a while, Jiang Shang put down his phone, frowned slightly, and looked at his friend:
“Akai.”
“What for?”
“Have you heard of a public beta that is open to 100,000 people to register?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen it, and you have to sign up and be randomly selected.”
“…”
Jiang Shang took a deep breath and managed not to swear, but in the end he still complained unhappily:
“Is the official brain hole? 100,000 people? That’s it? It’s a waste of money? What’s the difference from the internal test?!” “
Is the internal test also done this way?”
“Yes…” “
…”
Silence.
“Then Ziya, are you still going to sign up? I see that the netizens on the official forum are fighting, and the official has been scolded badly…”
“Sign up! Why not sign up? Look at the real-time registration number.”
“Oh my god, it’s already 100,000? It’s only been a few minutes since the announcement was issued? Hiss… It’s rising so fast… Is this the legendary real fragrance?”
Akai was amazed.
Jiang Shang sighed:
“The quality of the game is high, so you can do whatever you want… Maybe it’s because of the quality of the game that the number of people is limited…”
“You call this brainless bragging.”
“No, I call this self-hypnosis.”
Jiang Shang signed up for the fifth time while chatting with his friends.
After the two of them signed up, they continued to look through the public beta announcement on the forum.
“But then again, I think this charging model is a bit mysterious, membership system? 20% discount on exchange mall? And the monthly membership price is not low… It’s not mandatory to buy, will anyone really buy it?”
Akai looked at the charging instructions in the public beta and said strangely.
“Why not? Akai, if you knew where the best mass equipment and the best mass items in this game came from, you wouldn’t say that.”
Jiang Shang shook his head and explained.
“How did it come from?”
Akai was very curious.
Jiang Shang pondered for a moment and said:
“In the Elf Kingdom, although some specific BOSSes will drop extremely rare items, for most players, the equipment they use and the skills they learn still mainly come from the mall, and everything in the mall must be purchased with contribution points.”
“In the game, contribution points are the hard currency between players, and a 20% discount… is already very attractive.”
After listening to Jiang Shang’s words, Akai suddenly realized:
“So that’s how it is.”
However, after thinking for a while, he still shook his head:
“However, I still think that the charges are too casual, right? Can hundreds of thousands of players make a profit? And… I saw some players complaining in the comments saying that it seems that this game can increase the mall price to 25% by hard work.” “
That depends on personal reputation evaluation and goddess favorability.”
Jiang Shang said.
“It’s very difficult to improve your personal reputation rating. It’s related to the NPC’s favorability. As far as I know… among the more than 60,000 players in this game, there are no more than 100 people with a score of 70 or above on the personal reputation ranking list, and there are only two or three people with full marks, and they are the kind who lick the NPC’s every day…”
“As for the goddess’ favorability, haha, it’s even harder to brush. Up to now, it seems that the highest is only 1 point
, and that’s obtained by completing tasks.” “I’ve seen relevant statistics. It seems that Li Mu has the highest discount in the mall now. His discount seems to be about 50%, but most players who have a good relationship with NPCs still have a discount of about 70% or 80%. “
“So… if the mall gives another 20% discount, it will still be very attractive to everyone.”
“Of course, this is not the most critical.”
“Look, it also mentions here that the exchange of some special items will open up more quotas to members. Yes, it’s the resurrection coin. Ordinary players can exchange up to 10 coins a day, but members can exchange 15 coins!”
“Akai, you don’t know, in this game, the most serious punishment is the resurrection punishment, and the resurrection coins will be deducted.”
“Not only that. As your level goes up, more and more resurrection coins will be deducted each time you die. If you don’t have enough resurrection coins, you will even be demoted! As for silver, according to the announcement, the coins will be doubled in the future. It can be said to be quite strict.”
“All resurrection coins are hard-earned. You either have to work hard or spend money on them. And you have to accumulate them every day for emergencies. So… the fact that you can redeem 5 extra coins every day is enough to attract many people…”
“Is that so…”
Akai nodded, not quite understanding.
Jiang Shang continued,
“As for the income… I don’t think it will pay off in the short term, but you have to know that this game has just started public beta.”
As he spoke, he pushed his glasses:
“The membership price is not low, but those who can afford the stealth cabin are not poor. Think about it, if the number of game players exceeds 10 million… then the income will definitely be different.”
Akai thought about it and nodded in agreement:
“That makes sense.”
“But…”
Jiang Shang changed the subject:
“I really want to complain about this resurrection system… Although it seems that buying a membership can reduce the resurrection penalty, in my opinion, there is no difference between 10 resurrection coins and 15 resurrection coins.”
“Huh? Why do you say that?”
Akai asked curiously.
Jiang Shang sighed and said:
“If, just if… you are playing a game, and you have to spend 300 yuan to revive once in this game, will you pay attention to saving your life?”
“That’s nonsense! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a big meal for three hundred yuan?”
“What if the cost of resurrection becomes two hundred yuan now?”
“Damn… Although it’s one hundred yuan cheaper, it still hurts to think about it. You must save your life…”
“That’s it…”
Jiang Shang sighed:
“The current resurrection mechanism of “Elf Kingdom” is not unbearable for players, but who is willing to lose so much for no reason? Maybe you have saved up resurrection coins in the game for several days, but they are only enough for you to resurrect once, and the cost is at least several thousand contribution points. Even if there are discounts for members, it still does not escape the category of heartache. It can only be said that the official is toxic, as if they deliberately asked players not to commit suicide…”
“Of course… Even if they know there is not much difference, many people will definitely buy it.”
After listening to his friend’s words, Akai raised his eyebrows:
“If it were you, would you become a member?”
Jiang Shang nodded and said seriously:
“Of course I will. Although I really want to complain about the charging system and the disappointing public beta test spots, I will definitely support it if I win. After all… such a great game cannot disappoint the creators. You should know how China’s original stand-alone games declined in the past… it’s not easy for the original creators.”
Akai agreed deeply.
“But…”
Jiang Shang changed the subject again and pointed to a certain item in the announcement:
“What I’m more curious about is this newly added event, the new weekly ranking list. In the second week, additional rewards will be issued based on the weekly ranking of players in the game in the previous week, and the rewards may even include cash…”
Jiang Shang sighed slightly:
“The official is really bold… They haven’t made any money yet, but they’re already thinking about how to give back to players, and they actually gave out cash directly… It’s amazing. I can almost foresee that “Elf Kingdom” will have a large number of liver emperors and professional players…” “
Again? It was available during the internal beta?”
“Yes, contribution points can be traded. During the internal beta, many people made extra money by selling contribution points. But now that the official has made a move, the players will definitely be excited.”
“In that case, this World Tree Black Technology Company is quite conscientious.”
“Yes… I really like this company now.”
“Conscientious and even a little stupid.”
“…”
Jiang Shang glared at someone.
And the person whistled and looked away.
The two chatted intermittently, while continuing to browse the public beta announcement.
Of course, as potential tools, they naturally didn’t know that this seemingly strange charging and reward system was just a trick by a true god to block public opinion and win over the little leeks…
The announcement contained a lot of content, in addition to the fees, there were some other things, such as the opening of new maps and previews of new plots, and the accompanying pictures were elves and orcs fighting each other.
Akai was confused by these things, but Jiang Shang was very interested.
“It seems… the next plot is finally going to take action against the orcs. I wonder if I have the opportunity to join in.”
His expression was full of anticipation.
“Plot?”
“Yes, plot. I have been following the plot of Elf Kingdom. Look at this opening animation that was released in advance… Did you see it? The elves that appear here are all players! Oh… Unknowingly, everyone has developed such a big force in the game. Every time I watch the opening animation of each version from the beginning, I feel very sad…”
“So cool? Doesn’t that mean they are full of participation?”
“So… why do you think there have been so many ‘World Tree players’ on the Internet since last year? It’s because of the full sense of participation that everyone is united.”
“I agree. There is even a trend of evil, which devalues other games.”
“…”
Jiang Shang glared at someone again.
And someone whistled again and looked away.
The happy day of the pair of bad friends passed quickly.
Although they are not high school students anymore, they are freshmen with a full schedule and have not yet fallen into old hands. They can hang out on weekends, but they will still go to class the next day…
However, when they went to the forum the next day, they found that the number of people who signed up for the public beta test had exceeded five million like a rocket, and was still soaring.
There is no doubt that with the public beta announcement of “Elf Kingdom”, this virtual game, which is regarded as a cross-era masterpiece by many game enthusiasts, has once again become a hot search and headline.
It can be said that almost no one who knows about virtual games does not know it.
Even people outside the circle have more or less heard of its name.
Even in the book world, which has been slightly quiet for some time, the number of searches for a certain model worker has been slightly increased because of this…
Ahem.
It can be predicted that with the public beta test, the number of registrations this time will definitely not be less than the last internal test.
And this also made Jiang Shang, who originally thought that there were 100,000 places for the public beta test and that he might have a better chance, feel more depressed.
There is no way, he knows that his luck has never been very good.
The more people sign up, the smaller his chances.
Although as a fan of Elfland, he is very happy to see that this game is loved by everyone, but… he has to get in first, right?
However, this torment did not last long.
This time, he was finally selected.
There is a big chapter in the evening
