Feng Yu was overjoyed. "What do you think this game is called? World of Warcraft?! "
"That's right. Didn't you send someone to spread the word that the Warcraft series should be made into a massively multiplayer online role-playing game? Didn't you also give a lot of game background designs, mission designs, and so on?" Blizzard's chairman, Adhan, said in surprise.
"Ah, that's right. I didn't expect you to be so fast. Is Warcraft 3 completed? "
"Not yet. But we released Chaotic Origins this year, and we plan to release Frozen Throne next year."
"What about World of Warcraft?"
"This type of large-scale 3D online game is difficult to develop. Luckily, we have help from other video game companies, and they have given us lots of experience. We estimate that it will take two years for the game to be developed, and there are still tests and adjustments. We plan to launch it in 2005. "
Feng Yu nodded. This is about the same time frame as in his previous life. Feng Yu can make use of the fact that the Legend of Wind and Rain is becoming more popular while other games are appearing.
This life is different from Feng Yu's previous life. The source code of the Legend of Mir is not leaked, and there are no private servers. The Legend of Mir is still developing at a high speed. There are new maps, missions, skills, and monsters, and the game is still very playable.
In Feng Yu's previous life, there are still so many players on the official server. But it is undeniable that the private server has taken away a large number of players. Simply put, the private server can eliminate the difficulty of leveling up, and players can learn almost all the skills the moment they log in. Also, there are fewer players in the private server, and killing stealing is not as serious.
Also, there is no need to spend money on the Point Card. Although the Point Card is not expensive, it is still expensive after a year. At least to students, it is still expensive.
Feng Yu predicted that the Legend of Mir will still charge for the next three years. After three years, new games will appear, and the Legend of Mir's popularity will drop. When that happens, the Point Card will be cheaper, and it will be exciting for another year.
In 2006, the Legend of Mir will stop charging for the Point Card, and members will be rewarded for topping up. The members will be divided into levels, and the members will be rewarded daily. This is how web-based and mobile games make money in Feng Yu's previous life. The Legend of Mir was also like this in his previous life, and it attracted many tycoons.
Legend of Mir should be able to survive for a few more years, and they will develop web-based games and mobile games. Legend of Mir will bring in profits for Wind and Rain games for the next 10 years.
But Legend of Mir is a 2D game, and there are 2.5D games on the market, similar to Miracle. These games have more three-dimensional characters, and they have attracted a lot of users, especially overseas.
After all, Miracle was created based on the Western Legendary Class, which would attract the interest of the Western players. However, even if Legend of Mir only has Hua Xia's market, it will still leave a mark in the history of online gaming.
However, the 3D MMORPG market couldn't be given to others. Blizzard's three major IPs, Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft, had to be developed in depth. Currently, the sales of the comics were not bad. Toys, clothing, and so on could also bring in a lot of profits for the company.
Games didn't just sell game discs and charge for card purchases. The peripherals could also generate huge profits. Both the US and Japanese companies were experienced in the development of the periphery of the industry. Feng Yu had handed this over to Masao Kameda, and he had done a good job. Even the peripherals of the Legend of Mir were selling well in Hua Xia.
In Feng Yu's previous life, World of Warcraft was also popular for more than ten years. Even before Feng Yu's rebirth, many people were still playing it. After this game was released, all sorts of 3D online games started to become popular. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that World of Warcraft started the trend.
Excluding Hua Xia, there were more than 10 million registered players in World of Warcraft. The peak of the Legend of Mir had 30 million registered players, and that was the number of registered players. There were only about 1 million registered players in the same server.
In this life, the number of concurrent players in the Legend of Mir had increased. This was due to the marketing of the game, the server was not lagging, and Hua Xia's computer and internet technology was developing faster. However, the number of concurrent players in the Legend of Mir was still decreasing.
Luckily, the Legend of Mir's new server was still open, and the number of registered players was still increasing. At the internet café, most of the customers were playing Legend of Mir. Of course, there were also some who were playing Half-Life, Diablo, and some who were watching movies.
This is the era of all sorts of online games, and many people call it the era of the PC games.
Nintendo and Gbox are the most popular video game consoles now. Of course, there are some fun games. But as more and more online games are released, new companies are entering the video game industry, and the video game console market is shrinking.
The reason why video game consoles were declining is because of mobile games.
With the popularity of smartphones, people can play games, read novels, and watch videos anytime and anywhere. They don't have to worry about what to do with their free time.
Mobile phones are the most commonly used tools. They are easy to carry around, and they are small. At that time, home game consoles could only work towards the direction of 3D, which was panoramic 3D, and required special glasses.
However, this kind of game console had a very big drawback. It was said that you could immerse yourself in the game. They claim that the players will be in the game, but they need a large space, and it's easy for the players to get hurt. You will have to dodge the attacks.
You can sit on the bed, but you know you are sitting on the bed. How are you going to be in the game?
That's why these video game consoles can only be used in the high-end market. The video game market had been replaced by PC and mobile games.
Mobile games are not popular yet, and the biggest market is still video game consoles. But the market is slowly shifting towards PC games.
Feng Yu wants every player in the future to think of Wind and rain games when they talk about PC games. No matter if it's the 2D, 3D, or even the stereoscopic games era.
"Don't worry. If you have any financial problems, you can tell Masao Kameda or contact Ralph."
"There are no financial problems. Our Warcraft 3 is selling well, and the money we earned is enough to develop World of Warcraft."
"Good. Remember to pay attention to your employees and let them identify with the company. Don't be stingy with their rewards. Don't ask for my opinion on giving shares to the higher management and employees who have made significant contributions. "
In Feng Yu's previous life, Blizzard had experienced the resignation of several higher management, and it severely affected Blizzard's operations. In this life, Feng Yu doesn't want it to happen again.
"Thank you, Mr Feng. Under your leadership, the company will definitely reach new heights. Wind and rain games will also dominate the PC gaming industry in the future, and the other companies will only be able to look on and feel powerless! "
This American is also good at flattery. Feng Yu felt like his entire body was flowing.
"The company can't do without your contributions. What you deserve will definitely be given to you. The future of the company needs everyone to work together. The history of PC games will be written by us! "
