– On the second day – Tarren Mill –
After the first day of battles, many players had reached level 25 to level 30.
Of course, this was already a level that only the most talented group of mission maniacs could reach. Although World of Warcraft leveled up fast in the early stages, it slowed down in the middle and late stages. Even if everyone played the game for about the same amount of time, the level gap would still increase.
For most of the players, World of Warcraft was like the gate to a new world where everything was strange. Many players didn't even have the desire to level up. Instead, they enjoyed the scenery, did quests, and fought monsters to level up.
Moreover, leveling up required skills. If one didn't have a deep understanding of the game, it would be hard to plan a reasonable leveling route. A lot of time was spent on the road.
Seeing a cave, he went in to take a look.
Seeing a mountain, he climbed up to take a look.
After killing a few monsters, his bag was full, and he didn't want to throw away the junk, so he went back to the shop to sell it.
Seeing an NPC with a cool weapon, he took a picture with him.
Here was a sea of flowers, there was a mine, there was a lake, and there was a group of murlocs …
Sometimes, while running, they would accidentally enter a high-level area, get killed by high-level monsters on the side of the road, and then run back with their corpses in tow …
Some players got dizzy from doing quests in the Barrenlands, so they went back to the Howling Caves. One could imagine how fast they leveled up. On the other hand, some players finished the quests in the Barrenlands quickly and went to Tarren Mill and Arathi Highlands to level up. After a few rounds of Scarlet Hill, they leveled up faster.
Moreover, there were some players who had nothing better to do. After playing in Sleep Mode for ten hours at night, they continued to play in Normal Mode during the day. These people leveled up even faster.
Moreover, on the second, third, and fourth day of World of Warcraft's release, there would be a steady stream of new players joining the game. Very soon, the first batch of max level accounts would appear on the server, and players of different levels would form a more complete server ecosystem.
However, after the first day, the players' passion for World of Warcraft didn't decrease. Instead, it increased.
If one had to comment on this game, it would be, "Seven years of waiting is definitely worth it!"
Many players would subconsciously compare World of Warcraft to Chen Mo's previous AAA games. After all, Chen Mo used AAA games to conquer the gaming industry.
However, after a comparison, one would realize that these two genres gave off completely different feelings.
World of Warcraft, a next-generation VR game, was different from 3A stand-alone games in that it was grand, mysterious, and rich in players.
The core advantage of AAA masterpieces was still storytelling. In most of these games, players played the role of the protagonist. Even if it was a game like "Iron Man" that widely used the highest level of artificial intelligence, players could still experience the feeling of being surrounded by stars in the game.
However, World of Warcraft gave people a completely different feeling.
This was a huge world, and the players could clearly feel that they were just an ordinary person in this huge world.
Take Old P for example. Although he thought he was a good player, he knew very well that there were many players who were better than him. Of course, there were also many players who were worse than him. Regardless, there wasn't a big gap between them. None of them were the protagonists of this world, and of course, they weren't supporting characters either. They were part of this world.
They just played the role of an ordinary adventurer, came to a village, completed a certain quest, and explored the mysteries of this world to their heart's content.
MMORPGs, which seemed to be an outdated genre, were reborn in Chen Mo's hands.
…
At this time, Old P, Lin Xue, and Zou Zhuo had arrived at the Hillsbrad Hills and were doing quests in Tarren Mill.
It was a bit difficult to clear the Howling Caves. After all, among the five of them, except for Old P, the Mage, the other four teammates weren't very reliable.
The Warrior didn't bring his main weapon, the Shaman healed with a buff talent, the Hunter didn't have any pets and didn't learn any skills, and the Rogue wore several pieces of cloth armor and only knew how to fight monsters head-on …
Fortunately, everyone persevered. Even if the team was wiped out, no one complained. After more than three hours of hard work, they finally cleared the Howling Caves.
After that, the three of them cleared the quests near the crossroads, went to the Silverpine Forest and cleared the Shadowfang Keep. Finally, they ran to the Hillsbrad Hills and agreed to go offline.
The next night, the three of them went online on time and continued to level up.
Since the three of them were very influential streamers, there were always players who came to admire them while they were doing quests. Later, the three of them gathered their friends in the game to form a five-man party. It was considered a fixed party, and they worked together to level up in dungeons.
At this time, the importance of the sleep mode was revealed.
Without the sleep mode, everyone's gaming time would at most be concentrated in the evening and on the weekends. However, these times were often very easily taken up, such as working overtime or going out for a meal. If the five-man party was missing one or two people, the activity couldn't be organized. They could only find other players, which was very inconvenient.
However, with the sleep mode, everyone could set the meeting time at midnight and play for ten hours before going offline together. Usually, even if they worked overtime, most people would be asleep at midnight. Therefore, no one would be absent. Since there was enough gaming time, the activity time was also fixed.
In fact, after 12 o 'clock, the number of players in World of Warcraft would skyrocket, and the main cities would be even livelier.
There were many quests in Tarren Mill, and Zou Zhuo was very happy to receive them.
It wasn't that he liked doing quests, but the more quests he had, the faster he could level up. After yesterday's game, everyone knew that World of Warcraft was completely different from other MMORPGs. Killing monsters to level up didn't give much EXP, and even clearing dungeons didn't necessarily mean that one could level up quickly. Completing quests with high efficiency was the best choice.
Zou Zhuo's bull was now fully armed. After all, he had cleared two dungeons and had several pieces of blue equipment. The rest of his equipment was green chain mail, and he was very confident.
However, while he was killing monsters, he felt a chill on his back. A Frost Arrow directly hit his waist.
Zou Zhuo was shocked. What's going on?!
He saw two red 'monsters' attacking him from behind. One was a Human Mage, and the other was an Elven Hunter.
The Mage's name was: Dad said that the name is short, and it's not easy to be discovered by the Horde. It's very safe.
The Hunter's name was: Mom said that the name is too dangerous to be discovered by the Horde.
