Chapter 1463 Needs to Be Beaten (Part 1)
Lin Wei stared at the backstage data and smiled. Then applause came from her side. The applause spread to the outside, and the whole Jiucheng company was full of joy.
Today is the first day of the launch of the Magic Domain Mall. There are no weapons and special pet eggs for sale, but skins are sold, or fashions.
The cool costumes of the characters, the special effects costumes of weapons and equipment, and the special skin costumes of babies are all without adding attributes, but they are all very beautiful.
Wearing a set of fashions, with the cool animation effects when the special effects weapons and equipment use the ultimate move. It is simply the Ferrari of street stalls and the Rolls-Royce of the vegetable market.
The amazing effect is simply amazing. Without such a set of fashions and the special effects halo of equipment, if the baby does not wear a very cute and beautiful skin and becomes a cute pig or rabbit, you are embarrassed to say that you are rich.
The mall sold 36,000 sets of fashions just after opening, and each set of fashions cost 180 yuan. All sets were sold in one hour, that is, fashion, weapon and equipment special effects, and baby skin special effects, a total of 12,000 sets. The whole set cost 560 RMB.
The profit exceeded 20 million in less than two hours, and the mall opening fashion week is currently being held inside the game. Even if you don’t spend money, as long as you complete the task, you can get a set of fashion.
Of course, the free ones are definitely not as good-looking as the ones that cost money, but this still mobilized the enthusiasm of many players, and the number of online players in Magic Domain reached a new high.
Success, unprecedented success. Although fashion is just hot at the beginning, after this period of time, players will consume more rationally, and the daily sales will not be too high.
But the fashion data has been generated in the game, as long as it can be sold, it is profitable. At the same time, this successful marketing not only did not affect the balance of the game, but also promoted the popularity of the game.
With so many players, we can come up with some profitable golden ideas in the future, such as the ultimate move of the mount system has not been taken out yet. There are also some small special items, such as the angel dress that female players like, headbands, earrings, hair color, etc.
Don’t look at these accessories as small objects, they are small but also very profitable. So as long as the operation is done well, players will not be reluctant to spend the 560 suit.
Many people can't afford the 180 costumes, but some small spiritual ornaments that cost ten or twenty yuan are also shining when hung on the body. Can the general public afford it?
At most, the Internet fee that could have been used for three days of Internet access can be saved for one day. Just use the Internet for two days, and buy a small ornament with the Internet fee for that day, right?
"The year-end carnival event will be completed as soon as possible, and we will take advantage of the winter vacation to increase popularity. Since we are now the number one online, let's keep this number one." Lin Wei said.
"Yes, Mr. Lin." The game team shouted with full enthusiasm.
First, it has maintained the number one online for more than two months.
Since they have been engaged in the game industry, the employees of Jiucheng have never been so happy as in the past two months this year. The mountain that was originally pressing on their heads like Mount Tai, which seemed impossible to turn over in this life, finally allowed them to pry a little crack.
"Free and content to attract players, and then sell skins?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin in front of the computer, and had to give a thumbs up to Jiucheng's operation.
In fact, selling skins for free in games is not a new routine. When YY competed with CC and MM, avatar shows and space shows were actually the prototypes of selling skins.
And the current YY Audition game has carried forward this prototype. In order to buy a headband, a pair of angel wings, or a special effect halo. Many Audition players are willing to contribute their few pocket money.
So don't think that Audition is a free game that anyone can play, and it's okay if you don't charge a penny. But the money earned from these skins and small things alone is no worse than other large games.
Therefore, this time, Magic Domain can be said to have hit the right point directly, changing the previous free game selling various props that affect the balance of the game and using the game's life to harvest players. Created a large-scale game skin accessories flow.
This not only satisfies the desire of wealthy players to show off and pretend to be X, but also retains civilian players. And a large number of civilian players have created a good pretending environment for wealthy players.
The vanity of wealthy players is greatly satisfied, and the game has stepped onto a new level in the virtuous cycle. The martial arts of the Demon Realm game have already shown their brilliance.
"Block the account directly and sue immediately." Yang Dongxu nodded again after flipping through the news.
It can be said that the Demon Realm is not soft at all for plug-ins. No matter how much money the player spent on the suit, once it is verified that the plug-in is used, the account will be permanently blocked.
In addition, Jiucheng has done a good job in protecting the source code of the Demon Realm. It has been more than two months and there are still no decent private servers on the market, and some games want to imitate the Demon Realm to make private servers. As long as they are a little more decent, they will directly send a lawyer's letter. In short, this unhealthy trend will never spread.
Doing this can be said to directly open the ultimate move of absolute defense, refusing the two cancers of plug-ins and private servers to enter the body. Although some players who spent money were blocked and clamored online, they basically made a bubble and were soon drowned by the rolling tide.
Therefore, the martial arts of the Demon Realm have been elevated to a higher level again, from showing its grandeur to showing its majesty now, and it has begun to set sail and write a journey belonging to the Nine Cities.
"Boss, this is the data report from Magic World." Sun Yang walked into his boss' office and saw that his boss was reading news about Magic World online. He hesitated and asked, "Boss, are you going to hold a meeting with the game group, especially the Legend game group?"
"What kind of meeting? Are there any major changes to the game that need to be discussed?" Yang Dongxu asked without taking his eyes off the computer screen.
"No, I mean."
"If there is no, don't waste everyone's time. Magic World is indeed well made, and their profit-making methods are old-fashioned but useful, which can be regarded as grasping the core.
Since they are better than you, then learn humbly. Why can they do it, but you can't with such a big advantage? If you know your mistakes, you must correct them, and if you are beaten, you must stand at attention!"
"Yes." Sun Yang immediately straightened his back, put the file on Yang Dongxu's desk and left the office.
Glancing at Sun Yang's back as he left, "If you don't put some pressure on me, I really think I'm the best in the world. The idea of living off the past is not good. The staffing of the game team needs to be adjusted."
He actually supports the decision of Sunrise Technology to deal with the impact of Demon Realm so far, although the momentum of Demon Realm has not been curbed.
But the profits of Sunrise Technology are also rising steadily, and the number of players is growing very steadily without any crisis.
However, some people in the game team have too old ideas, or they are used to being the boss. They always like to use their power to suppress others, and wait until they need to show their real talents and knowledge to others.
But I don't know where my original innovative ideas have gone. My mind is full of "I am better than you, you actually snatched my players, if I can't beat you in the game, I will beat you in reality."
Originally, those colleagues who were positive and envied by others, but had to admire the quality of Sunrise Technology's games, almost saw the rogue side of Sunrise Technology. The reputation and credibility in the industry that Yang Dongxu had worked hard to build were directly destroyed.
Knock knock knock.
"Come in!"
"Boss, Mr. Qiu wants to see you." The assistant said.
Yang Dongxu looked at the door and saw Qiu Bosong coming in.
"Why, those guys are still uneasy and asked you to be their lobbyist?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"I have been going smoothly for the past few years and have never fought such a difficult battle. The only time I faced such a situation was when Chen Shoufu was the agent of "World of Warcraft", but you gave a heads-up in advance at that time.
So the Demon Realm suddenly appeared in Jiucheng, and it has been dominating the top position of online players for a month or two.
And you never gave any guiding opinions on this matter. Isn't it all because of your panic?" Qiu Bosong came to the sofa in the rest area of the office and sat down.
"We are used to going smoothly, so we need such a warning. After all, the game market is so big. Do you really think that we will always be the first now?
Besides, Xu Ri Technology is indeed a top player in China, but what about the game field abroad? How big a market do you think our games can have abroad?
There are so many game masters in our game department. How many of them are preparing to expand the foreign game market in the future?
But what about "World of Warcraft"? They are planning an international version of Magic Domain now. What are we doing?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Magic Domain is planning an international version again?" Qiu Bosong was surprised.
They are all in the same company, although not a direct department, but Qiu Bosong is more or less concerned about the sudden appearance of such a powerful enemy as Magic Domain in front of the game department.
I haven't heard that Magic Domain has started to go international.
"World of Warcraft can be popular in China, why can't Magic Domain be popular abroad? There is still a lot of depth in the fantasy theme, especially there is no similar game abroad, why can't Magic Domain be popular?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"You are a bit biased. There is no game similar to Magic World in foreign countries. But the games we have are not available in foreign countries, right?
You know that we tried to expand overseas versions before, but the results were not ideal. This is just like the Legend of Mir back then. It was just average in Korea, but it became popular in China.
Some games have their own national attributes. They can be very popular in one country, but they will not adapt to the local conditions in another country. But then again, are you so optimistic about the international version of Magic World?"
He has experienced the golden words of his big boss over the years.
So Qiu Bosong is a little curious. This time, when his big boss opens the import, will Magic World really break the curse that Rising Sun Technology has not broken and rush directly into the international market?
"It's not that I am optimistic about them, but they really suit the tastes of foreigners. And this kind of magic has a certain cultural foundation in the West, unlike domestic martial arts, which only Chinese people have feelings for." Yang Dongxu said with some emotion.
This Magic World is going to go international, which is Jiucheng's big move. He also got the news through some other channels.
He was also shocked when he heard the news. It seemed that Chen, the richest man in China, could no longer satisfy Jiucheng's appetite.
