When Godly Land first went online, the Phantom Helmet was still a rarity. Future Technology never considered outsourcing or licensing technology from other major manufacturers. Even if you had the money, you might not be able to get a helmet from the official website. Many people could only play in the online cafe of Future Technology, and they even had to wait in line.
To a large extent, the low penetration rate of helmets severely limited the number of people online 24 hours a day when Godly Land first went online.
But even so, the data of 100 million simultaneous online users on the first day easily broke the record set by a MOBA game.
The appearance of Galaxy Edge was bound to divert some players from Godly Land.
But this was a normal phenomenon.
No matter how fun a game was, no matter how rich the content, there would always be a day when people would feel tired. When people lost the initial sense of novelty and began to feel bored by the day after day of killing monsters and endless quests, they would inevitably start to consider fading out or even quitting the game to find another game for a change.
And Galaxy Edge happened to provide such a new option for these players.
It was already three o 'clock in the morning.
Lilith didn't need to sleep, but Jiang Chen was already sleepy.
According to the saying on the Internet, those who weren't asleep at this time were most likely preparing for cultivation.
"Not going to sleep yet?"
Attracted by the light in the living room, Xia Shiyu, who got up to go to the bathroom, walked down the stairs and walked behind Jiang Chen.
She put her arm on the back of the sofa, put her pretty face slightly over Jiang Chen's shoulder, looked at the holographic screen floating in front of him, and murmured with a hint of tiredness and laziness, "… Well, it has reached 370 million? It is estimated that its peak is 400 million. "
"You're not surprised?" Jiang Chen turned his face slightly and said with a smile, "I was hoping to see a surprised expression on your face."
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." A sleepy smile appeared on Xia Shiyu's face. "In the meeting three days ago, we made a prediction about this data and reserved server resources according to the predicted data."
"Oh? Then what is the approximate number of players you predicted? "Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"The average number of online users … is probably stable at more than 100 million. As for the peak number of online users, if you don't take into account expansion packs and in-game activities, it is probably the number you are about to see. If I'm not mistaken, it should be around 400 million. "
To Jiang Chen's question, Xia Shiyu gave a conservative estimate.
However, even if it was a conservative estimate, it was still a rather shocking number.
Future Technology's record could only be broken by Future Technology.
He believed that after tonight, this industry legend would once again shock the whole world.
…
The next morning, the Wall Street Journal gave a rare headline to an online game.
"The VR Game Industry Chain Has Reached a New High, and the Peak Global Online Population at Galaxy Edge Exceeds the Total Population of the United States."
In 2020, the population of the UA exceeded 400 million, and as of 4: 00 am Xin time on May 31st, the number of online players had already exceeded the 400 million mark.
Just like when Godly Land went online, the capital world without any suspense focused on Future Technology's new product after four years. In this era where traffic was king, a huge number of online users meant money.
Wall Street analysts valued Galaxy Edge at more than $100 billion. Whether or not this valuation was accurate remained to be seen by the business community, but it was enough to reveal the tip of the iceberg of interest in this game.
Not only the Wall Street Journal, but 80% of the world's media reported on the miracle of Galaxy Edge on the first day of June.
On the official website of Galaxy Edge, hundreds of game guides and experience experiences in different languages had appeared in the newly opened official forum.
These guides were usually compiled by high-end amateur players, and most professional players were still struggling in the game world at this moment.
Because Galaxy Edge did not have a closed beta, naturally, there were no closed beta players with first-hand information. Everyone was still in the exploration stage of the game, and everyone's starting point was the same. Whether they could open the gap with other players depended on the first 24 hours of the game's launch.
In order to respond to unexpected situations and urgently repair possible bugs, Future Technology's staff almost took turns guarding the computer and server, monitoring all the news in the game and on the official forum in real time.
It was soon noon, and the operations team leader, who had just made himself his fourteenth cup of coffee, returned to the conference room.
It was also at this moment that the operations team staff around the computer exclaimed in a low voice.
"Xiao Zhang, what happened?" The operations team leader walked behind the staff with the coffee and looked at the laptop screen.
The page on the laptop was the official forum of Galaxy Edge.
In the chat section of the official forum, a post received hundreds of thousands of visits in just ten minutes.
After seeing the title of the post, the team leader was slightly taken aback, then grabbed the mouse and scrolled to the post below.
"Someone posted a picture on the official forum. The first Seagull-class starship has appeared … This is the Chinese section of the forum. It should be a player from the Han region," Xiao Zhang looked back at the team leader and said with a serious expression.
The team leader also frowned when he discovered this situation.
According to the game's setting, all players started with a blank single-person spacecraft that could be equipped with a mining module to mine, or they could install an attack module to participate in the main mission, gain credits in the battle against space pirates, or go to the colonies of the Earth Federation to participate in the ground war.
According to the normal game flow, players could obtain the first 100,000-ton starship after 72 hours of game time and begin their own journey of interstellar travel.
A 500,000-ton Seagull-class.
For the early stages of the game, it was undoubtedly a bit too powerful.
Even if the team leader believed that the technical team would not make a mistake, he still couldn't help but wonder if there was a major bug in the game.
He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately took out his phone from his pocket and called the technical team leader.
