Chapter 863: Maintaining Stability
If the higher authorities support the trial of this case in China, then all the obstacles will be solved. Yang Dongxu just needs to withstand the pressure from South Korea and not give in.
In fact, there has not been much pressure since Li Fuzhen sent back the message last time. It is almost the same as he thought. Everything is for profit. When the gains cannot make up for the losses, no one seems so active, especially in the end, there is a possibility of getting burned.
So the recent public opinion reports have made a 360-degree propaganda, from insisting on extradition to now punishing everything in accordance with laws and regulations.
If you are shameless, you can bring these migrant workers back to South Korea to increase some votes for yourself, but many politicians are willing to do so. But after doing so, Yang Dongxu is ready to blackmail all Internet industry practitioners in South Korea. After considering the gains and losses, these people turned around and showed their selfless side to avoid leaving any stains for themselves to take the blame.
However, when the trial of the case was on the right track and there was no great pressure, Xuri Technology encountered big troubles. First, the endless punishment of private servers caused a great impact on Legend.
After all, the difficulty of the genuine Legend is not small, so players have a great desire for levels and equipment. In addition, private servers can use plug-ins. For a time, many Legend players were very happy in private servers, resulting in a large number of Legend players leaving, and the number of online players every day was less than half of the previous number.
And you should know that when the second half of this year just entered, the number of Legend players was still skyrocketing with an objective number. Suddenly, the number of players was cut in half, making many players in the server seem empty.
In the past, when there were many people, there might be some lags, and everyone was having fun. They cursed the game company MMP for not being able to play the server, and they didn’t know how to upgrade, but they had to go to that area because it was so popular and stuck.
Now that all servers are not stuck, these people are not used to it, and they start to complain that Legend is not going to go bankrupt. How can no one play?
In addition to the loss of a large number of players, the economic system within the game is undoubtedly the biggest impact on Legend. The loss of a large number of players has caused a short period of unsalability of gold coins and equipment in the hands of many Legend players.
Especially after the news broke that the official Legend of Mir 2 was swiping gold coins and equipment, many Legend of Mir 2 tycoons were afraid of losing their equipment and stopped spending money in the game. This made the gold coin and equipment trading market in the game even more depressed, and thus began a vicious cycle. The less people traded equipment and gold coins, the faster they depreciated, and the more the tycoons were unwilling to spend money.
"This is because they don't want Legend of Mir 2 to survive." Seeing the increasing proportion of gold coin purchases in the game, the increasing depreciation of equipment, and some gossip and news reports, Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin with a gloomy face.
"What is the current inflation in the game?" Yang Dongxu asked Chang Hao, who was sitting opposite him.
"350%," Chang Hao said.
"MD, a bunch of termites." Yang Dongxu couldn't help cursing.
Chang Hao shut up and didn't say anything. It was only after he slowly took over Legend of Mir 2 today and sorted out some things that he realized that the internal equipment and game coins of Legend of Mir 2 were so serious.
This also reveals the loopholes in the company's internal employee management. It is too easy and basically risk-free. As long as you adjust the parameters slightly during the maintenance and operation, a paralysis ring can be sold for at least 800 yuan, and those with better attributes can be sold for thousands.
A dragon-slaying sword is even more amazing, starting at 1,500 yuan. In addition, Yang Dongxu had the Legend Game Department design various equipment enchantments and attributes before. Top-level equipment costs tens of thousands, and it is so easy to get such a finger.
"Open an account and purchase equipment and game coins internally, absorb the extra gold coins and equipment inside and destroy them." Yang Dongxu thought about it and said.
The current inflation cannot continue. Although all parameters have returned to normal now, the employees of the game department have strengthened management, and it is impossible for a large number of equipment and gold coins to appear in the game in a short time.
But the number of players in the game has decreased. The decrease in the number of players means that the demand for equipment and gold coins has decreased. If there is no organization to cause a wave of selling, the entire game's internal economic system will collapse, and the entire Legend will be over.
"Buy at that price?" Chang Hao asked.
He also knew that he had to absorb the excess equipment and gold coins from the players and eliminate them. Otherwise, many players would see that they still couldn't sell their equipment after the price reduction, so they would continue to reduce the price and the market would start to follow suit, and the entire game economy would collapse instantly.
"You can decide the price range of the average ratio of game equipment to gold coins by one-third to one-half. In short, we should give players the feeling that even if the price of equipment is reduced, it will not be reduced to the point of being sold everywhere, giving them a psychological bottom price.
Even if it is definitely a big loss compared to before, at least it can be recovered now. In short, absorb those excess equipment and gold coins first, and when the market stabilizes and the equipment is scarce, we don't need to sell them. Players will buy them themselves if they see profitability. When the game economy stabilizes, we will launch a new chapter to attract players."
"I know. But those private servers."
If the internal economy of Legend game that is being hit now is a long sword piercing the heart of Legend game, if it is not handled properly, the entire Legend may very likely die. Then Legend private server is the blood sucking worm lying on Legend, making the originally powerful Legend become weaker and weaker until it finally collapses.
"You should sort out the things in your hands first, and then we will update the new data chapter. Currently, only a part of the source code has been leaked, and many private servers do not even have complete maps.
Now players are having fun, and want to use the equipment and levels that cannot be obtained in the genuine Legend, as well as various unusable plug-ins to vent.
After venting, they will feel lost. After all, the cheap goods cannot give players a sense of vanity. After the new chapter is launched, with more fresh gameplay, maps, monsters and equipment, these players will come back.
At the same time, make an announcement in the game to speed up the cross-server PK competition of the first guild in each district. Increase the reward amount of the competition from the original 100,000 to 500,000.
This will be launched after the internal economy of the game is stable. In short, when everyone becomes interested in Legend again, this will be used as a stimulus to attract the lost players back, but the previous work should be completed as soon as possible." Yang Dongxu said.
Chang Hao nodded. Now many things should be done quickly rather than slowly. After all, although most of the lost players have gone to play private servers, many have flowed into other games.
Therefore, when these players have not yet reached their levels and equipment in other games, there is still a great hope to attract them back.
Once the delay is too long, they will have advanced accounts and good equipment in other games, plus they have a certain circle of friends, so it will be difficult to attract them back.
And even if they are attracted back, they may play both games at the same time, which undoubtedly gives other games more opportunities to compete for Legend players. Moreover, Legend is a point card game. If you play both games, it will occupy the online time of Legend, which will reduce the income of Legend invisibly.
"Is there any problem with Swordsman Love?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Although many competitors are now eyeing Legend, Rising Sun Technology now seems to be supported by Legend and earns huge profits every year.
But in fact, Yang Dongxu is more optimistic about Swordsman. After all, no matter how Legend is updated and upgraded, the overall framework is there. The playability of the game is to fight monsters and PK. Although it is very direct and exciting, players will always get tired of it after playing for a long time.
So after a few years when online games explode, even if there are no private servers or external cheats, Legend itself will decline. Five years is the maximum lifespan of Legend in Yang Dongxu's opinion. Although it will not withdraw from the stage of history, the number of players will definitely decrease significantly, and then it will gradually become a place for some older people to play with feelings, and it will not be able to reproduce today's dominant position.
Swordman is different. As long as Swordman is well done, its lifespan will start at least ten years, and it will definitely be more popular than Legend during its peak period. If it insists on high quality, its lifespan will be no less than that of the evergreen "Fantasy Westward Journey".
"Legend has some impact on Swordman, but it will not have a big impact. After all, ancient martial arts games are a dream of rivers and lakes for Chinese players, so the number of players is still increasing steadily.
However, because of taking over the Legend, the development progress of some new expansion packs is a bit slow, but I have added staff there, and they will soon return to normal progress after a mutual adjustment."
"Legend is now normal and stable, everything is based on Swordman, you go and get busy first." Yang Dongxu said.
After Chang Hao left, he leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The incident of Legend undoubtedly disrupted his layout plan, the loss of a large number of players, the aggressiveness of other game companies, and the rapidly developing dominance of the two chat software companies, Feixun and Baisheng Technology.
In addition, the major portals are now fighting with their brains almost out, making the current Internet industry more lively and urgent than the previous life. As long as you don't pay attention, you may fall behind.
However, others may not catch up, but he still has countless trump cards to overtake. Even for some games that have not been designed, he can write a general background and settings and develop them in advance.
In short, this is not the most urgent. The most urgent thing now is how to bind players. When Legend happened, half of the players disappeared instantly, which made the stickiness between Xuri Technology and the players too thin. This aspect must be strengthened.
Therefore, the construction of the Internet ecological chain must be accelerated, especially in the game industry. Whoever encircles more players will be the king.
