The domestic players could use I Am MT as the game guide for World of Warcraft, but the foreign players didn't have this privilege.
But it didn't matter. The foreign players, especially the European and American regions, were very familiar with Western Fantasy. They might be able to adapt faster than the domestic players.
Five minutes before the server opens, the players entered their gaming pods and opened the World of Warcraft client.
As for the cloud players who didn't have gaming pods, they could only watch their favorite streamers on Fish-Catching Streaming Platform and wait for the server to open.
This was a celebration for the players all over the world. At this moment, regardless of region, country, race, or language, everyone was excitedly waiting for World of Warcraft to open.
What? You're asking what about the time difference?
What could Chen Mo do? He wasn't the creator of the world, he couldn't force the world's time to be 12 PM …
All he had to do was ensure that the local server opened at midnight, and the other regions opened at the same time. It was all based on the time zone, so it was all on the dot.
What? You're saying it's unfair to the foreign players? There's a possibility of them opening at 4 AM?
Should they wait for the local server to open according to the time zone? Does everyone open their servers at midnight?
If they do that, they'll complain again if the foreign servers open later.
That was why it was fine. The entire world opened at the same time, with Thunderbolt Entertainment's region as the standard.
In the World of Azeroth, Thunderbolt Entertainment's headquarters in the Imperial Capital was the center of the universe.
The players had found the entrance to World of Warcraft in Oasis. This time, it wasn't a griffin or a wyvern. Instead, it was a huge Dark Portal that stood quietly in the depths of the small island with a huge ring-shaped pit around it.
Anyone who had a bit of understanding of Azeroth's backstory was shocked. The Dark Portal?!
Are we the Orcs who invaded Azeroth? Why else would we pass through the Dark Portal?
Despite their complaints, they had to admit that the entrance was impressive …
Even though Chen Mo liked Dark Souls so much, he only set up a bonfire on the island. Other games were low-key, unlike World of Warcraft, which threw a huge Dark Portal on the island.
At this time, although the Door of Darkness had been erected, the Teleportation Portal had not really been opened. It was just a lonely, empty frame, and the Teleportation Portal did not emit that kind of pale green light.
It was obvious that they would have to wait until the server officially opened before the portal could be used.
The players were already waiting outside the Dark Portal. When the time came, they would immediately enter Azeroth.
…
On Fish-Catching Livestream Platform, almost all the streamers put down their games and prepared to livestream the grand opening of World of Warcraft.
Lin Xue, Zou Zhuo, Old P, Qin An, Xue Kai, Que Shen, Wang Laji … Regardless of whether they were big streamers or small streamers, they were all preparing to livestream World of Warcraft.
It wasn't all for the sake of gaining popularity. Many of the people here were loyal fans of Azeroth. When a phenomenal game like this was released, they definitely wanted to experience it as soon as possible.
Now that friends could be invited in Oasis, Zou Zhuo invited Lin Xue and Old P to wait at his seaside mansion.
Everyone entered the game in sleep mode. They had already experienced sleep mode a few days ago, but it was still very refreshing.
As long as they fell asleep in the game capsule, they would automatically wake up in "The Oasis". In fact, it felt no different from Normal Mode. However, the players knew that they were actually sleeping in the game capsule in reality, so it still felt very magical.
On the other side, Chen Mo and Li Jingsi had created two smurf accounts and were ready to play.
In fact, Chen Mo hadn't played World of Warcraft for a long time. Thinking back, he probably missed Azeroth more than anyone else in this world.
Moreover, the world of Azeroth represented by next-generation VR technology would be different from the original PC game in terms of gameplay and details. It would be a huge leap forward.
Li Jingsi was still thinking about which race to play.
"Are you going to play Alliance or Horde?" Li Jingsi asked.
Chen Mo said, "Weren't you an elf when you played Warcraft? Let's play elves then. "
Li Jingsi nodded, "That's what I was thinking too. The female characters of the main Horde races … it's hard to explain …"
Chen Mo laughed, "It can't be helped, it's not the time for the Blood Elves to show up yet …"
Li Jingsi said as she looked at the information, "Let's see what class I'm going to play. Speaking of which, there won't be a population imbalance between the Alliance and Horde races, right? The Horde races aren't very friendly towards female players. "
Chen Mo shook his head, "They won't."
…
The reason why Chen Mo felt that there wouldn't be a population imbalance was mainly due to the influence of I Am MT.
The current Alliance had an obvious advantage in terms of appearance. After all, there weren't any Blood Elves. For girls, only humans and Night Elves were attractive.
However, the Chinese players were deeply influenced by I Am MT, especially the fans of characters like MT, MT, Shaman, Hunter, and Rogue. Due to this, there should be quite a number of players who would choose the Horde race, so they didn't have to worry about the Horde numbers in the early stages of the game.
When level 70 was released … they would have to worry about the number of Alliance players.
Another thing was that the AI system would balance out the number of factions. When there were too many Alliance or Horde players, the system would restrict the players from joining the faction.
PvP in the wild had always been one of the most important activities in World of Warcraft, and the imbalance in numbers between Alliance and Horde would lead to the appearance of ghost servers.
For example, if there were too many Horde players, the Alliance players would be bullied in the wild and couldn't complete quests, so they would switch servers out of anger. As a result, the Alliance players in this server couldn't even form a team, so the remaining players would leave.
As a result, although the Horde was having fun at the beginning, it would become boring when there wasn't a single Alliance player in the entire server.
Of course, this balance was a little metaphysical. There were many factors that would affect the choice of faction, such as the appearance of the character, performance on the battlefield, personal preferences, and so on.
From Chen Mo's experience in his previous life, once the Blood Elves appeared, the population of the Horde would definitely explode, giving them an absolute advantage over the Alliance in terms of population. Therefore, Chen Mo also made some buffs to the appearance of the Humans and Elves. Human males were no longer short-necked uncles with unkempt beards, but were more aesthetically pleasing.
