The first one who is not calm is Ninetowns Game Company. The legendary case has been fueled to the point where the whole people are aware of it. Ninetowns has contributed a lot.
Therefore, in the early days of the case, a wave of legendary players began to sell their equipment and gold coins out of fear, which severely hit a handful of legends. This resulted in a massive loss of legendary players.
However, in the end, it was resolved by Legend's decisive guarantee of gold coins and equipment. Because these equipment and gold coins had a guaranteed minimum price, they could not be reduced to nothing no matter how much they fell, so Legend's internal economy was instantly stable.
There is only one trick that is not 90% guaranteed, and another trick is to let people publish the price of the equipment and gold coins at the peak before the legendary game, and what the price is now.
Although the prices of commodities in the commercial market cannot always be at their peak, there will definitely be a trough period, which fluctuates back and forth, but Ninetowns does not want to popularize business knowledge to the public.
She just lets all the legendary players see how much these game equipment and gold coins cost at their peak, and how much they are worth now at their trough, leaving players with a huge gap in their hearts and feeling that they have lost money and lost a lot of money. .
This move stabbed the vital part of Legend again, causing some players to sell out and lose gold coins and equipment, as well as players who were still staying behind to hesitate, and the market that was originally active suddenly became depressed again.
However, this move was resolved by Xuri Technology, which directly raised the cross-server PK competition to 500,000 yuan. If you want to win the championship, no matter your character level, skill level, or equipment, you must be top-notch. OK.
In this way, the cutting-edge equipment market, which was originally active and should have been the most sluggish, suddenly became hot. Many local tycoons want to take advantage of this downturn in equipment prices to fully arm themselves and win the final championship.
As soon as the market for cutting-edge equipment becomes active, the whole market begins to pull other low-end equipment to become active as well. In China, basically everyone buys up and not down.
That is to say, if you see something rising by a lot, you will be squeezed out and sell it. You don't care whether the thing has risen to the limit or it will collapse in the next wave. You originally wanted to make a fortune and ended up becoming a taker.
It doesn’t feel like it’s worth the investment for something that is currently declining but has great potential, so I see legendary equipment being added one by one every day.
Players no longer sell the equipment in their hands to see if the price can be increased to a higher price. Those who have sold game equipment regret it extremely, and then hesitate to buy back the equipment they are currently playing at the current market price, and wait. Wait for a short period of time and then sell it at a high price.
As the equipment market continues to boom, the gold coin market has also been stimulated. As a result, the studios of the equipment-exploding group and the gold-mining group started working crazily again and started making money, and the entire game was once again revitalized.
Although other game companies felt unwilling to see such a scene, they had no choice but to give up in the end, unless they wanted to invade Legend's internal system and generate a wave of equipment and gold coins to disrupt the market. Just when game companies turned their attention slightly away from legends and began to pay more attention to their own games.
Lin Wei from Ninetowns University was the first to discover the silent counterattack of Legendary Games because of his cooperation with MM. Ninetowns MM has the most users, although everyone who plays games online now has a CC or MM chat software account.
But before, you had to register separately to play Stone Age, so now the Stone Age MM account has the most authorized login players. Therefore, because the whole nation is paying attention to the internal commercial crime case of Legend, at least all netizens are paying attention to this incident.
Therefore, many Stone Age players not only discuss this matter during MM chat, but also discuss this matter in Stone Age.
Lin Wei didn't pay much attention to this matter at first. After all, this case was a big discussion among all netizens, but as the discussion continued, he discovered something was wrong.
After all, both are point card games, and Stone Age's point cards seem to be a bit more expensive than Legend. Therefore, Stone Age game equipment, game currency, and pets are also valuable.
But because there are legendary gems in front, and because they want to catch up with legends, the actual era seems to be a bit eager for quick success and instant benefits in terms of game acceleration, and it feels like the rich gamers of later generations can do whatever they want.
Legend has made some settings to balance the internal economy. For example, many valuable equipment have a high explosion rate even though the BOSS has a high explosion rate, or some enchantments use large materials that only the BOSS will explode.
But when ordinary players kill monsters, they also have a chance to explode good equipment. For example, an ordinary player explodes a dragon-slaying knife and instantly earns more than a thousand. This happens every day in Legend.
But it was different in the Stone Age. Rich people grew very fast, while those without money grew slowly, without even the slightest opportunity to make extra money.
"Fuck! Last night I went to stay up all night with my friend, and he discovered a paralysis ring with really good properties. At that time, there was a player behind me who was surfing the Internet and offered 700 yuan, but he didn't sell it."
"real or fake?"
"of course it's true."
"What's the point of this? Some time ago, when legendary equipment was very valuable, my friend exploded an artifact called Soul Eater. Although it's not as valuable as the Dragon Slaying Knife, it has very good attributes and sold for 2,000 yuan."
"NND, one weapon is almost as much as my monthly salary."
"What's this? Do you know how much the games of some legendary rich people are worth? The attributes are increased to the limit, and then the dragon-slaying knife is enchanted and blessed to the extreme. It costs 56,000 yuan. In the first area, a player asked for the price and was instantly sold. A wealthy man bought it."
"It's not just dragging, is it? How can a handful of games be so expensive?"
"Brother, I can only say that you have never played Legend, so where are you? You have never seen a boss with a set of equipment worth more than 200,000 yuan. The dazzling look on his outfit makes me salivate. He can explode with just one item. It’s enough for me to work for a year.”
"What this brother said makes sense. The president of the district I was in before was said to have equipment worth at least 250,000 yuan. He played Taoist priest and was not the most popular warrior. His summoned beast was simply not something anyone could spit out. Kill a kid."
"What's the advantage of this? Some of the big guys in our game are also very powerful. Not only are their equipment all top-notch, they're valuable. Even if they stand and let you cut them, you can't cut them."
"We do have some very powerful bosses in our game."
"When will I become such a wealthy person?"
"Don't think about how much your monthly salary is? You probably can't even afford a piece of equipment."
"It would be great if I could get good equipment by killing monsters."
"Have you ever exploded?"
"No, but I heard that other people have exploded it."
"Haven't your friends ever exploded?"
"No!"
"Um...you think, are those people who exploded because of it? Legend has it that ordinary people can acquire good equipment. I have seen it with my own eyes. My friend is sitting next to me. We have good equipment in the Stone Age. I’ve never seen it explode with my own eyes.”
"Hey, don't tell me it's true. Although I haven't seen anyone explode the dragon-slaying knife in the legendary game, I have seen someone explode the protective ring. It sold for 500 yuan at that time. I have seen many people playing Stone Age in the Internet cafe. , I haven’t heard of anyone exploding it. But those wealthy players often discover good things.”
...
This discussion is not limited to just a few players, but almost all Stone Age player circles seem to be discussing this matter. Players from other game companies are also discussing this matter, not just in the game CC and MM. is also like this.
Although no one is yelling at anyone to form a team to play Legend, all players have an impression in their minds, that is, if you are lucky enough to play Legend, you can make money by exploding a good weapon. In the Stone Age... okay , you can make a little bit of money by working hard to get materials, but it's definitely not as much as a legendary can just explode a piece of valuable equipment.
Seeing these discussions, Lin Wei smelled a hint of conspiracy, but when she thought carefully, what the players discussed were all facts. There was no one to guide the whole topic, they were just showing off to each other. But such a show off shows that the legend is better than the Stone Age.
"In future generations, check the current playing time of players in the game and make a statistical table." Lin Wei pressed the phone in front of her and ordered to the secretary outside the office.
After cooperating with MM, Stone Age has entered its peak period since the server was launched, and the number of online players continues to reach new highs, approaching the highest number of online players in Legend.
According to her idea, with such a case involved, it is not easy for Legend to stabilize the current situation. It will be impossible to return to its peak for some time. This is an overtaking opportunity in the Stone Age.
But although the previous few shots successfully touched up the wounds of Legend, they failed to directly kill Legend, which made her a little angry.
But in the end it was suppressed. If you can't defeat it, then you can't defeat it. Directly surpassing it is also a kind of success. But at this time, she seemed to have discovered signs of the legend's resurgence.
This is definitely not the result she wants to see. After all, she is only one step away from the throne of the most popular game in the country. How can she tolerate Legend's immediate comeback?
Lin Wei's investigation into this conspiracy incident has not yet yielded results, but another blockbuster news has attracted the attention of many people in the industry. Lianzhong's "King of Kings" and Feixun Technology's CC successfully reached a cooperation. CC will start pouring players for King of Kings.
Although she had anticipated this incident when she cooperated with Parkson MM, when it actually happened, she was still not as calm as she had imagined.
In particular, the cooperation between Lianzhong and CC is not a profit sharing, but a mutual shareholding between Lianzhong and Feixun Technology. I don’t know whether Lianzhong has taken a fancy to the huge market of chat software users, or whether Feixun is more enterprising than Parkson.
Seeing that the game market can make money by converting users, I couldn't wait to acquire one of the top three game platforms in the country to speed up the completion of my company's industrial chain.
But regardless of the possibility, the cooperation between Lianzhong and Feixun will put tremendous pressure on other game companies. Not only The9, but even Yang Dongxu frowned when he saw the news.
And after investigation, he knew more inside information. Feixun was preparing for a second round of financing. In order to increase its financing weight, Feixun was preparing to acquire Lianzhong to smoothen its profit channels, and then the second round of financing was completed directly. It began to burn money, preparing to defeat MM's competitor in one fell swoop, while also occupying a large piece of the cake in the game market.
However, because the final price was not agreed upon with Lianzhong, the acquisition turned into a mutual equity exchange cooperation. However, Feixun did not give up, and the second round of negotiations to acquire Lianzhong has already begun.
