In the experience store, Chen Mo and Li Jingsi had just come out from the VR gaming pod.
"There's not much fun in the God-like Outfit today. I don't think Qin An is online today," Li Jingsi said, not having enough fun.
After the official launch of the God-like Outfit, more and more professional players from the Chinese server had obtained the right to enter the God-like Outfit. The God-like Outfit had become more and more fun.
Micro players, artificial intelligence, and real professional players were all mixed in the God-like Outfit, turning the game into a battle of the gods.
Chen Mo and Li Jingsi would go in and play some duo when they had nothing better to do. They could also torture the professional players and micro players, adding some fun to their boring lives.
However, there weren't many players who could play against these two. When Qin An wasn't online, their gaming experience was on the decline.
"Eh, it's almost Double 11," Li Jingsi said as she looked at the date.
Chen Mo didn't mind, "You're celebrating Double 11? Just buy whatever you want, why are you waiting for Double 11? "
Li Jingsi shook her head, "No, it's Warm Wardrobe that's planning an event. Shouldn't Warm Wardrobe do the same when all the other e-commerce platforms are offering discounts? "
"Oh yeah, that's true," Chen Mo had forgotten about this.
There was a Double 11 in the parallel world as well. This day that was derived from Singles' Day had become a festival for the online e-commerce platform, and the 'everything at half price' strategy was deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts.
Chen Mo didn't participate in this before, as he was a game maker and didn't have anything to do with the online e-commerce platform. Before the distribution was established, there weren't many games on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, and the players didn't really care.
However, things were different this year. On one hand, there were more and more large scale VR games on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, and on the other hand, there was a clothing brand in real life, Warm Wardrobe. If Warm Wardrobe was on sale, and Thunderbolt Gaming Platform didn't do anything about it, it didn't seem like that was the case.
"Alright, it's just a discount. I'm good at losing money," Chen Mo said. "I'll make the arrangements now."
… …
It was only a few days until Double 11, but Chen Mo wasn't in a rush, as he had already arranged for the main part of the Double 11 event to be done.
Originally, this content was not prepared for November 11. It was only developed as a spin-off of Seaside Mansion. However, since it was released in time, it could be released at the same time as November 11.
Chen Mo was prepared to give the players a big surprise on the Double 11 this time.
The first was the daily loss-incurring activities.
Yes, it's just a game discount. There's nothing much to say. The other e-commerce platforms were selling at half price, but it didn't matter. Salent's games were also selling at half price.
It wasn't just Chen Mo's games that were half price, all the other designers on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform had their games half price as well.
Not only was the game half price, but even the clothes in Nuannuan's wardrobe and all in-game purchases (such as skins for League of Legends and Kings of Glory) were also half price.
If it was half price, then the whole family would be half price. Salent was just that realistic.
Just thinking about it made him feel like he was going to go bankrupt. But how should he put it? After all, Salent was a professional charity organization, and this was a basic operation.
Of course, considering that a lot of players spent a lot of money on Uncharted Seas DLC and USA Apocalypse, which cost around five thousand RMB in total. But in the blink of an eye, the price was cut in half, so Salent had to take care of the players' feelings.
Although this was how shopping was, and most of the time you could only blame yourself for being unlucky if you spent too much, Salent still had to do his best to ensure the players' shopping experience.
Otherwise, the players would be hesitant to spend money in the future. They wouldn't be able to buy a new game and wait for a discount instead.
Therefore, special measures were needed to deal with this group of people.
However, there was no way they could get a refund, not in this lifetime. They could only rely on scamming to survive.
The way to deal with this was to calculate the spending records of all players on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform this year and take 1/2 of the total amount and return it to the gaming platform's currency. (Basically, it could be understood as a battle network that could only be spent on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform and not withdrawn)
At the same time, there would be a 'discount' event based on the spending records of the players this year.
On Double 11, apart from a fifty percent discount on all products, there would be an additional discount based on the spending records of the players this year on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform. The discount would be different depending on the amount.
For example, spending fifty thousand RMB on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform would get an additional thirty percent discount on top of the fifty percent discount.
There were four tiers of spending records, five thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand, and one hundred thousand. The discounts were ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent, and fifty percent respectively.
This meant that if a player spent a hundred thousand RMB on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, they would be able to buy USA Apocalypse for only four hundred and seventy RMB on Double 11.
As for skins that were one or two hundred RMB, they would only be able to buy it for twenty to thirty RMB.
In other words, the players who bought the game at the original price on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform were the ones who got the better end of the deal. This was because the extra money they spent had already been returned to their account, and they had also accumulated enough money to receive an additional discount.
Chen Mo felt his heart bleeding at this point. What a loss!
However, making a game was all about self-sacrifice.
This year's Double 11 event could be looked at the players' feedback to see how much money they would lose. If it was suitable, this plan could be fixed and they would lose money once a year.
Apart from this, there was also a huge gift pack, which was the new content for Seaside Mansion that had been planned.
It was an entire city, Stormwind.
Speaking of which, it had been a few years since Chen Mo released World of Azeroth, but World of Warcraft hadn't been developed yet.
If it was just recreating World of Warcraft from his previous life, it wouldn't be difficult for Chen Mo. However, with the current development of the video game industry, a game like that wouldn't be able to satisfy the needs of the players. It would definitely be popular, but it wouldn't be popular all over the world.
After all, World of Warcraft in his previous life couldn't help but drift away with the decline of MMORPGs, losing its former glory.
Obviously, Chen Mo couldn't accept World of Warcraft being average. He wanted it to be the pinnacle of gaming, a great game that was ahead of its time. Therefore, Chen Mo had a long term plan for World of Warcraft.
However, it wasn't like he couldn't do anything right now.
