For the next period of time, Chen Mo was busy with the international version.
Meteorite Technology originally wanted to release an English version to test the waters, but under Chen Mo's request, Meteorite Technology agreed. English, French, German, Russian, Korean, and other languages were released at the same time.
Especially the Korean version. Meteorite Technology originally planned to release it in the second batch, but under Chen Mo's request, it was brought forward.
If it was just translation, it would be relatively easy. All they had to do was translate the text and put it into the game. It didn't matter if it was one sheep, it didn't matter if it was a flock of sheep. Releasing one or two more languages wasn't much work, it was just a matter of finding a few more translators.
However, the main work of releasing the international version was marketing. Releasing it in multiple countries at the same time meant that the amount of resources spent on marketing would increase exponentially. Moreover, each country had different rules, rankings, and user preferences. It wasn't a good idea to release so many versions at the same time.
Chen Mo was very determined. Marketing? What's that? Does this game need marketing?
Alright, it's still needed. But it doesn't need to be all over the place, there's no point in spending all that money.
Chen Mo said, "It's fine. You guys can just ride on the popularity of Legion Conquest and change the subtitles and descriptions to 'Completely surpass Legion Conquest', 'The best RTS game', etc. This way, players who search for Legion Conquest will find Warcraft."
The person in charge of Meteorite Technology was shocked. How could he be so shameless?
Chen Mo said, "What's with that expression, did I say something wrong? Does it completely surpass Legion Conquest? Is it a masterpiece of RTS games? "
The person in charge of Meteorite Technology nodded, it seemed like … he was right.
The reason why Chen Mo wanted to release it in so many countries at the same time was because he wanted the game to become a trend as soon as possible. This was the only way for the game to grow faster.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't care about the other languages as he didn't have the ability to care. He didn't know a thing about French, German, or Korean, so how could he care?
But that wasn't important as long as the English version was as authentic as possible. Just like in his previous life, the official translation of Warcraft was full of mistakes, but the players still enjoyed it.
…
After a few days of work, Chen Mo didn't ask about the content of the English version of Warcraft anymore. After that, Meteorite Technology would be in charge of the overseas promotion, which was also in the midst of preparation.
Inside the experience store.
Su Jinyu was still reading the new posts on the forum every day, collecting players' opinions and some hot topics.
"It's been so long and people are still talking about Silent." Su Jinyu was speechless.
Qian Kun said, "Ah? There are still people talking? Didn't Goph and digwa surpass Silent the other day? There's three players with 4000 points now. "
Zheng Hongxi nodded, "Yeah, but it's obvious that the audience has a deeper impression of Silent. After all, his 4000 points came from killing all the other gods, and it was a perfect win."
Qian Kun added, "That's true, if Silent was still playing, these two wouldn't even be able to reach 4000 points …"
Zheng Hongxi said, "Did you guys see the videos of Silent's back? Why do I feel like this back view and voice are a little familiar? "
Qian Kun said, "I did, but it was in an internet cafe. It was pretty blurry, and it was his back. The internet cafe was pretty noisy, so I couldn't really hear him. I just remember him being really cocky."
Su Jinyu was speechless, "Huh? You guys can't tell? "
The two were confused, "Yeah, why? Goldfish, you can tell? You know Silent? "
Su Jinyu facepalmed, "The manager would be so sad if he found out!"
Qian Kun's eyes widened, "Huh? You're saying … "
Su Jinyu said, "Yeah, doesn't Silent mean 'silence'? You guys can't even tell? "
Qian Kun and Zheng Hongxi were shocked, "My goodness! Yeah, I was wondering why that figure looked so familiar! Goldfish, when did you find out? "
Su Jinyu said, "I knew it from the start! The manager asked me to change his ID! "
Qian Kun was also excited, "Then why didn't you tell us?"
Su Jinyu said, "You guys didn't ask!"
Zheng Hongxi said, "We didn't even think about it! Moreover, we have work to do every day, who would talk about it? "
Qian Kun exclaimed, "You're amazing, manager!"
Chen Mo came downstairs at this point.
"Alright, keep it a secret for now."
Qian Kun said, "Wow, you're really good at hiding it!"
Su Jinyu asked, "Manager, when are you going to tell the players?"
Chen Mo said, "Why would I tell the players? Let them guess. By the way, I'm going to Magic City this weekend, give me a call if you need anything. "
Su Jinyu said, "Huh? Why are you going to Magic City, to promote the game? "
Chen Mo nodded, "Something like that. There's a Warcraft tournament on Fantasy Gaming Platform. "
Su Jinyu was shocked, "Huh! Is that why you're making a comeback, Manager? "
Chen Mo shook his head, "Of course not. I'm a special guest commentator. "
Su Jinyu let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good. I knew it wouldn't be easy for the players to get some prize money, you should stop torturing them."
Chen Mo said, "… Anyway, this is a good opportunity to promote the game. I'll be going out in the afternoon, give me a call if you need anything."
…
The eSports industry in this world wasn't as developed as Chen Mo's previous world, but it wasn't completely non-existent.
However, as there weren't any competitive games in this world, the functions of these clubs were a bit more vague, and were more or less the same as a gaming studio.
Large-scale RPG games, such as Legend of the Sword, Three Kingdoms of Righteousness, and Heavenly Ring, all had team PVP or GVG content. The players in these clubs would participate regularly.
As for pure eSports competitions, some were in the VR area, such as shooting games. As for the PC side, RTS games like Legion Conquest also had esports competitions, but they were all small scale, and didn't become as large scale as the ones in his previous world.
The reason was simple, competitions came down to two things, people and money. Large scale competitions could only be held if there were enough people and money.
Legion Conquest didn't reach the popularity of MOBA games in his previous world, which was why it couldn't hold a large scale global competition.
However, more and more video game companies and players noticed the potential of gaming competitions, which was why there were many regional competitions in China.
