System announcement: The seal that has been forgotten for thousands of years is released, the dust-laden memories are opened, the powerful and ancient race feels the restlessness of this world, and a new epic begins... All players are asked to leave the game within thirty minutes. The server will be stopped for update, and brave adventurers will face new challenges.
The system announcement was sent three times in a row, resounding throughout the game world.
"????"
“!!!!!!”
Seeing this sudden system announcement, everyone was stunned, with expressions of confusion and surprise.
The entire server was stunned for three seconds.
Then the game started to boil.
"I wipe, what does this mean?"
"You mean, we want to open another expansion pack?"
"How is that possible? It's only been more than two months since the new expansion pack was released... Why is it being released again?"
After receiving the system announcement, everyone was a little surprised.
Actually, system announcements are not uncommon... people usually appear on TV.
But this time the system announcement is unusual.
According to the previous style of "Age of Apocalypse", the announcement in this format is obviously a new expansion pack.
But just because a new expansion pack is about to be released, everyone finds it incredible.
Because it has only been two and a half months since the last expansion... less than a hundred days...
What is this concept?
Expansion packs, to put it bluntly, supplement and update the game's worldview.
According to the normal online game process, when the game is launched, a roughly complete world view has been basically constructed.
This main world view can basically allow players to play for at least two years.
After players have played through this version, they can update it with new gameplay, background stories, and various new task chains. This is the expansion pack.
An expansion pack has a lifespan of at least one year.
Therefore, it will take at least three years from the launch of the game server to the launch of the new expansion pack.
However, just two and a half months ago, the game had just updated the expansion pack of [Necromancer]... This had already surprised players. As a result, the expansion pack was updated again in less than three months.
It was supposed to be at least four years of game content, but it ended up being updated twice with expansion packs in less than half a year, which is unheard of.
Is this still the same Penguin Game Company that cheats its parents and claims to use its salary to create happiness?
It's like you are reading a novel that is updated steadily at 4,000 words every day, which is only one million words a year, but suddenly the author updated it by 5 million words in one breath.
Everyone can imagine how weird, how exaggerated, and how unbelievable it is.
Everyone's first reaction was: "Should I wipe it? Is this a dream?"
The second reaction was: "It can't be a real dream."
When everyone calmed down and realized that they were not dreaming, the disbelief passed and they must have felt more excited.
"Oh my god, this author is so handsome! I am willing to vote for him to have children."
"Good guy, Penguin is so conscientious! It releases two expansion packs in half a year."
"Penguin, it's over for being awesome!!"
"It's unbelievable...it's unbelievable...this is a Penguin game."
How excited the players are at this time, and how depressed the game company is at this time.
"What's going on? Isn't this the procedure anymore? Why did you let him escape?"
"Forget it, that bitch signed a war pet contract with Chahar... and kidnapped Chahar."
"War pet contract? Holy shit! Is this a malicious card bug? Let's destroy that player!"
"It doesn't count...this is our design problem."
"wipe!!"
In the office, everyone was anxious.
"It's useless to pursue this now. The key is whether this expansion pack can be disabled!" The senior leaders are considering longer-term issues.
"cannot!"
The chief planner said: "This expansion pack is forced to trigger. Since Chahar is free, the four forbidden areas must be opened. Of course, if you can't say it, we can also forcefully stop the update, but the game announcements have been released. ...Do you think it’s appropriate?”
"..."
As soon as the chief planner said this, the office became quiet again.
The foundation of everything in a game company is still based on players.
On weekdays, everyone can cheat players' money in various ways... Players can also afford to play games.
But you promised to update, and now you have aroused everyone's emotions, and you suddenly stopped it... That basically means that you have taken all the medicine, paid for the insurance, and taken off your pants, but you said something big today aunt.
This player shouldn't explode on the spot?
As the saying goes, the player is the Jade Emperor.
You can treat them like leeks, but you can't treat them like dogs...
Within the rules, no matter how you cheat money and get krypton, everyone can tolerate it, but if you can't afford it, break your word, and make false propaganda, don't blame the players for not giving you face.
Today's players don't have fuel-efficient lamps.
It ranges from giving up the trip directly, to boycotting it at the worst. There are those irritable players who cannot clear the dungeon in the game, and 80% of the time they will fly to Nanshan with a brick bench and use the Penguin headquarters as a dungeon. This is not unheard of.
"What are the players' reactions now?"
After a long silence, the senior leader asked.
"Now the forums are praising our conscience... I estimate that after this update, the game company's reputation will skyrocket."
"Hey! In that case, let's keep our conscience to the end."
After receiving this answer, the leader wiped his tears helplessly and said: "Just treat it as welfare..."
There is no way, reputation is too important in this industry.
For listed companies, only investors with a good reputation will buy your stocks. Only with a good reputation will consortiums invest in e-sports competitions. The chain reaction of this series is too great.
If you really offend players because of an expansion pack, then it is estimated that you will lose more than just the life of the game.
…
East China Sea Dragon City, in the city lord's palace.
The instigator of all this, Hongchen Yixiao, had no idea how much trouble he had brought to the game company, and was approaching Alria with a gem.
This gem is one of the primordial gems, the [Material Gem].
It was taken from the Golden Holy Dragon King through dragon language magic after Chahar regained his freedom.
Once the gem is obtained, Arria's mission is completed.
"Thank you sister Rhea, otherwise I won't know when I can get this gem."
"You are Welcome."
Arria said very politely: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. If you have a chance, come to the land of Titans to find me. I appreciate you very much."
Alria's words were true. Wang Li's series of tricks just now really left her dumbfounded. She had obviously never seen such a shameless player. There was no harm in establishing a good relationship with such a player. .
After saying that, Arria disappeared from the spot.
As soon as Arria left, Chahar's expression immediately changed, and his eyes towards Wang Li became fierce.
"Let's go, Xiaohei!"
Wang Li opened the war pet fence and wanted to put him away.
"Hmph! Ant! Let's die!!"
As a result, Chahar snorted coldly, pointed his big hand at Wang Li, and grabbed him.
