Chapter 425: Divine Beasts in the Field of Online Games
At 8 o'clock in the evening, "Miracle MU", which represents the current peak of online game strength, was officially launched in China!
The operation team of "Miracle MU" is very accurate. Before 8 o'clock in the evening, the registration button on the client is still gray. After 8 o'clock, it immediately becomes a colorful and dazzling state.
The player who clicked in first shouted in the Internet cafe: "You can register!!!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of cheers in the Internet cafe, and almost everyone swarmed into the registration page at this moment and started to register their miracle accounts.
"Miracle MU" is unprecedented in the construction of the initial server. As soon as it came up, it directly opened five regions of North China, Central China, East China, South China, and West China. Eight servers, that is to say, "Miracle MU" has a total of 400 small servers, and each small server can accommodate at least 2,000 people online at the same time, and there will be at least 500-1000 redundant space. When Miracle MU was officially launched for public beta, it already had the ability to play online games with millions of users at the same time.
When the server selection interface was fully displayed, not only users were stunned, but even industry insiders who were following "Miracle MU" were stunned.
It is almost unheard of in the online game industry to build such a huge server system right from the start. It is evident that Storm Entertainment has high confidence in this game.
What’s more, what is outrageous is that “Miracle MU”’s intentions at the user experience level can be found at the time of registration. Although the server division is very complicated, there are five regional areas alone, but at the time of registration, In order to reduce the user's registration cost, the system will automatically match the user's actual region based on the user's IP. That is to say, when a Yanjing player registers for a constituency, he only needs to select the corresponding server in the North China region by default. That's ok, and the cells under the large area are automatically matched according to the order of people's fullness.
For example, users in North China will start registration from North China District 1 by default. After the number of registered users in North China District 1 reaches 20,000, they will be automatically assigned to North China District 2. Users generally only need to select the corresponding server to complete the registration directly. The community has its own needs and can also choose by itself.
By default, 20,000 users are registered in each area, which is just an initial set threshold. If the maximum number of simultaneous online users on the server in a single day is only 1,000 on the basis of 20,000 registered users, then the server will automatically open another 20,000 users. Register the number of users and control the server hosting in the best state.
Online games with millions of users online at the same time have not yet appeared in this world. Legend is so awesome now, and only 300,000 to 400,000 players are online at the same time. If historical development is followed, the number of simultaneous online players of Legend can exceed 700,000 in the second half of this year. , In Li Mu's impression, this number was the highest number of online games in the world at that time.
The server scale of "Miracle MU" at the beginning of its launch is more than double that of Legend, which has been operating for more than half a year at this stage. The main reason is that Li Mu has great hopes for this game, and Storm Entertainment relies on Muye. The technology and capital level are much stronger than the Ninetowns in the previous life, and the strong promotion ability of Tieba is also unmatched by The Ninetowns. With money and resources, plus the experience and lessons of the previous life, Li Mu can avoid detours. Li Mu has full confidence. Let "Miracle MU" really carry forward in your own hands.
Facts have proved that "Miracle MU" with a strong backing is a miracle in itself.
At 8:30, Li Mu received the operation data. Within half an hour of the official public beta and open registration, the registered users of "Miracle MU" increased by 3.2 million.
In half an hour, three million registered users, even if there is a single user who has repeatedly registered, this data is still sky-high in this day and age.
Similarly, at 8:30, the number of people online at the same time reached 1.1 million, and even such an extravagant server configuration was directly loaded at full capacity.
Miracle's operation team immediately set the upper limit at 1.2 million. This user level is the highest intensity that the server can carry. If it exceeds this intensity, it is basically difficult to ensure the smooth operation of the server.
According to the server's records, there were more than 200,000 users trying to squeeze into the server, but because the server stopped responding to external login requests, they had to wait for the client to repeat the attempts over and over again.
Li Mu sat on the seat of the Internet cafe, sluggishly sunk in the comfortable computer chair, the computer was idle all the time and did nothing, and all his attention was on the miracle players around him.
The players around have complimented the game as soon as they got started, and the Internet cafes are filled with the exclamations of all kinds of miracle players. The graphics and operations of this game have begun to gain faith from the very beginning.
The game "Miracle MU" was originally launched in China in 2003. At that time, "Miracle MU" had already achieved great success in South Korea. Ninetowns broke the boat and brought this game, sacrificing the profits for Netzen The ratio is very high, and the price of getting this game by yourself is much lower than that of The Ninetowns in 2003. Not only is the price low, but the most important thing is that this game was launched in China more than half a year earlier, and the game itself is very important to domestic users. The impact of the game is too great, and the current players have not yet had a strong belief in the legend, so in the eyes of the players, this game is much better than the legend.
Li Mu suddenly felt that he might have cut off Shanda in half in the future. If Legend cannot guarantee a good momentum of operation for two or three years, the powerful Shanda Group in the future may be born with stunted growth. Deformity is a trivial matter, and miscarriage is a major event.
Li Mu was originally a person who believed in the butterfly effect, not to mention that he brought "Miracle MU" into Huaxia more than half a year earlier, which will definitely have an extremely strong impact on the original pattern of the domestic online game market.
Zhao Kang also saw the potential of this game from the reactions of the hundreds of people in the Internet cafe, and couldn't help but tease Li Mu: "According to your previous definition of cheating, are you trying to prevent miracle cheating now?"
Li Mu nodded earnestly, recalling the huge negative consequences brought about by The Ninetowns' indulging in plug-ins, and said with a resolute expression: "If there is one miracle plug-in, I will kill one, and if there are two, I will kill a pair. Once a cheating user is found to be permanently banned, it will never be tolerated. Playing online games is like opening a casino. I want to create an absolutely fair gaming environment for my guests, and I must not let anyone make money on my site!"
After speaking, Li Mu added another sentence: "Except for myself..."
...
According to Li Mu's estimation, a few days before Miracle's launch, the server load may be fully loaded, but a considerable number of these players should be crowded onlookers under the influence of the crowd effect. It will continue to wash and settle, and in the next three months, Li Mu will be quite satisfied when it can gradually stabilize at the level of 500,000 people online at the same time.
However, the industry's estimates for "Miracle MU" are much more optimistic than Li Mu's. After seeing the hot situation on the night of the public beta, most Internet companies believe that this game is officially released in the light of the quality of the game itself. After charging, the revenue capacity will exceed that of the current popular Legend of Blood, and it will become the first online game with more than one million users online.
Contrary to Li Mu's expectations, players' demand for miracles did not drop at all in the next few days, but continued to rise. Except that the pressure on the server during the period from 2:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. could be relaxed a little bit, Other time servers have been full, and more players are trying to get into the game.
At the beginning, 200,000 people were stopped at the door. After three days, the number became 500,000. With the heated discussions caused by Miracle MU on the post bar and major forums, a large number of players posted game screenshots and games. After the content, it was invisibly a handful of tap water, and it helped Miracle to push a wave, so that the number of people trying to squeeze into the game during peak hours every day continued to grow.
Only then did Li Mu wake up. He thought that what he had released was a beast cub waiting to be fed. Even if it was a good breed, even if it grew fast, it would take a while, but I never thought that the moment it was born. , is a divine beast that is already quite large, and its growth rate is astonishingly fast.
Fortunately, Baofeng Entertainment has sufficient funds "borrowed" from Muye Technology, and the reserve strength for adding new servers is strong. After recovering, Li Mu immediately arranged for the relevant person in charge to add servers to improve the game's carrying capacity and improve the game's carrying capacity. Miracle's game carrying capacity has been increased to meet the scale of two million people online at the same time.
Two million people are online at the same time. In China, it is basically the height that games like DNF and CF can reach in the future. Even the national server of World of Warcraft does not have this strength. If "Miracle MU" can really achieve the peak period Two million people play at the same time. The daily active users of this game must be in the tens of millions, so the monthly turnover is estimated to be several hundred million. After removing all the labor operating costs and the little bit of sharing for Netzen, the monthly Profits can definitely exceed 100 million. This is not even a gold mine, but a money printing machine.
"Miracle MU" continues to be popular in China, and Li Mu set a final launch date for YY, who was delayed by himself, just one week after "Miracle MU" was launched.
In the last 24 hours before YY went online, Li Mu and the core team confirmed several key issues after the launch.
First, YY is scheduled to go online at 8:00 pm the next day, and Li Mu has always preferred this prime time to go online;
Second, one hour before YY goes online, Tieba advertisements, Tieba station internal letters, and Happy Farm station internal letters start to push YY advertisements at the same time. The push content template has been prepared, and the most concise language is used to tell users what YY is and what’s awesome. Function.
Third, all users can directly register a YY account after downloading the YY client, and the YY account will be issued in the form of a number. Old users can bind the YY number and Tieba account with one click. The farm will receive a prop package worth ten yuan, and the technical department must ensure that no matter how high the instantaneous traffic is, the process of registration, binding, and reward collection must be smooth enough;
Fourth, YY's friend cloning function is the core of fast landing login, so the team must ensure that on the first day of YY's launch, the registration binding rate among Tieba login users reaches more than 80%. policy remedies;
As long as these four points are done, the rest will be handed over to the user.
