It turned out that no matter which game it was, the double experience reward was always an effective way to motivate players to level up.
Ever since Eve's' declaration of war 'against the orcs as Zero, the players of the Elven Forest had been frantically grinding their levels.
Of course, the double experience reward was one thing. More importantly, there was the upcoming war mission.
The largest war since the launch of "Elf Nation" was about to begin. Everyone was looking forward to it.
A war of a hundred thousand players …
Also, it was an immersive virtual world war.
This was unprecedented in the history of Bluestar games.
Perhaps some games had accumulated more than this number of players in a war that lasted a few days, but the number of players in real life was definitely far from enough.
Therefore, whether it was a veteran in the closed beta or a newbie in the open beta, everyone was eager to try.
Not only that, but as the reputation of "Elf Nation" grew, a plot mission of this scale also caused waves in the virtual gaming world of Bluestar and attracted the attention of many netizens.
News about this plot mission also became a hot topic on various gaming forums. Even on various search engines and social media platforms, "The classic virtual game" Elf Nation "will start a war of a hundred thousand players" became a hot topic.
In the comment section below the news, netizens' discussion was even more heated …
"'Elf Nation'? Is it the game that many people call a masterpiece of its time? "
"Pfft, you haven't even heard of 'Elf Nation'? Are you still living in the era of MMORPG? "
"F * ck! A war of a hundred thousand players? How scary is that? When I played "Mount and Blade 5", I felt that two thousand players were scary … "
"You can't compare! These hundred thousand players are referring to players! I'm an open beta player of "Elf Nation". According to insider information, the AI has an army of at least three hundred thousand players! "
"F * ck me … three hundred thousand … That's going to be like a dog, right?"
"Not only that, in" Elf Nation ", every NPC is an independent AI, the very smart kind. Take a closer look, take a closer look …"
"Wow … I think I can smell the fragrance of a CPU."
"Exciting, I can feel my blood boiling just thinking about it …"
The netizens were very excited, especially those who loved such large-scale war games.
Of course, it was not that they doubted it …
"A few hundred thousand? Is this a bluff? "
There were similar comments.
However, if he did that, he would soon be attacked by other netizens.
"Bragging? 'Elven Nation' never boasted! "
"I'm afraid you don't understand Elven Nation at all. I won't boast about the advanced technology like accelerated thinking and true perception, and I won't talk about the simulated NPCs either. Let's talk about the war scenes. There was a ten-thousand-man battle in Elven Nation before, and there's a video of it online. You'll know when you see it."
Thus … the battle of the Black Dragon Castle and the war in the Underground World, the two great battles that involved more than ten thousand people, were dug up by people …
As these videos were dug out again, the popularity of "Elven Nation" rose to another level.
That magnificent scene, the lifelike graphics, and the passionate background music were enough to make anyone who saw it feel their blood boil …
"Is this really a game? Not a movie? "
"No … I don't think a movie would be able to film such a magnificent and realistic scene …"
"Awesome! I want to play this game too! "
"Hey, that depends on your luck. There are very few slots for this game. The open beta was just released some time ago, and there were already 100,000 slots for the open beta. I don't know when there will be more slots in the future … Pray for the blessings of Goddess Eve."
"Goddess Eve?"
"It's the Camp Leader (Picture)."
"Damn! Isn't this an emoticon pack in the QQ group? So it's her! I'm done. "
"Hehehe, I seem to have seen it in the learning materials."
"… Stop persecuting the goddess, okay …"
"Hahahaha …"
"…"
The netizens were in a heated discussion.
Every streamer who was lucky enough to become a player of "Elven Nation" was also prepared for the entire live broadcast. They had already posted a preview on their personal homepage on the video network.
The double experience and the attraction of the war plot made the players work harder.
Under such circumstances, the overall level of the players changed almost every day …
On the second last day of the preparation activities, the sprint to level up reached a new climax.
There was no other reason.
Eve once again released a new wave of silver player slots.
This time, she released 350 slots to advance to silver in one breath, making the number of silver players reach 500.
This was adjusted according to the combat power of the Half-Orcs.
In her estimation, there should be no more than 2,000 silver professionals in the entire Half-Orc race.
This was the racial limit of the Half-Orcs. Even if Oulleur forcibly increased the strength of the believers, it could not be reversed.
Of course, this was actually quite scary.
Last year, when the magic power in the world of Segers had not been greatly increased, and when the Lionheart King Imsh invaded the Black Dragon Castle, he only had more than 20 silver subordinates.
It was just that last year was last year, and now was now.
With the increase of magic power, it was inevitable that the strength of the various intelligent races would soar.
Even without asking, Eve could guess that the human beings with a large population base would be even more abnormal …
Of course, although the Half-Orcs' silver warriors were not what they used to be, it was not bad to be able to mobilize half of them to participate in the battle.
Oulleur's control over the believers was certainly not as good as Eve's control over the players.
And 500 silver players were actually enough to deal with such an enemy.
If there were more, Eve would find it troublesome to resurrect them.
In addition, the goal of 100,000 players above level 30 that Eve envisioned was reached three days after she released the system message.
And by the time the double experience period ended, there were more than 120,000 players who had reached level 30.
As for the maximum level 40 players, there were more than 6,000 people, tripling the number.
At this moment, it could be said that the strength of the players had perfectly reached or even exceeded Eve's expectations.
An army with an average strength of above level 30 had been formed.
Unknowingly, although the number of players still did not reach the millions or tens of millions of people in many online games.
But it was already quite a terrifying force …
…
At the southern edge of the Gloom Mountains, at the intersection with the Desert of Death.
The cold mountain wind whistled, biting cold.
If it was in the past, the Gloom Mountains at this moment should be the quietest and most deserted time.
But today, it was obviously different.
Because this was the gathering place of the Elf Army.
Under the long foothills, tents were set up one after another.
These all belonged to the players.
Although there was a teleportation portal that led to Rivendell here, compared to an army of 100,000, the efficiency of the teleportation portal was not high.
So … many people had come here early after meeting the conditions to accept the mission, and were waiting for the mission to be completed.
But the weather was too cold, so they had to set up tents.
Of course, the players who set up tents were still a minority.
Even more people were waiting in the wilderness.
Most of them were players who had just arrived here. They gathered in twos and threes, playing, and practicing martial arts.
And at the teleportation portal at the back, the light of the portal was still flashing, sending one player after another …
If one looked from a high altitude, they would find that this mountain range, which was not considered high, had been covered by players all over the mountains and plains.
Not only that, but in addition to the players, there were also all kinds of magic beasts gathered here.
Those were the magic pets of the players.
Since the magic pet system was launched, magic beast companions had become a necessity for every player.
And for this war, many players had brought their own magic pets with them …
The types of magic beasts were not uniform, but the most common were still Crypt Spiders.
And after the Crypt Spiders, there was a kind of tall forest deer in the Elf Forest.
In addition, there were Giant Mountain Bears, Armored Lizards, Wind Wolves, and so on.
Of course, there was also the eye-catching, noble, and beautiful Unicorns.
But with the appearance of the Megalosaurus, the title of the most popular magic pet of the Unicorns was eventually replaced.
Now, the Megalosaurus was the existence that the players yearned for the most.
From time to time, some players could be seen flying in the sky on Megalosaurus. Those were the lucky ones chosen by the Megalosaurus …
9: 50 AM Segers World Time.
Ten minutes before the end of the war preparations, the war mission was about to officially begin.
In the largest tent of the Nature's Heart Guild Camp, dozens of players were gathered here, discussing something.
Li Mu, Demacia, Salty Meow, Cuckoo Bird, Boxed Lunch, Tomato Fried Tomato, Ji Gang the Shapeshifter, and so on …
The leaders of the four major guilds, as well as some medium-sized guilds with more than a thousand players, were all gathered here.
When the number of guild members exceeded a thousand, they could obtain a commander position and become the "Chosen One Corps Commander."
Every player here was a Corps Commander.
Of course, the four major guilds had more than ten thousand players, so their Corps Commanders and other Corps Commanders were naturally not the same concept.
In order to make it easier to command, the four major guilds divided themselves into more detailed corps according to the profession of the players, such as the Warrior Corps, Archer Corps, Mage Corps, and so on …
And each corps had its own commander.
A total of one hundred and twenty thousand players were divided into four corps, led by the four major guilds, while the other medium-sized guilds were attached to them.
This was the result of the discussion of the guild leaders, and also the composition of the player army.
As for the overall commander of the player army, Li Mu would be the same as before.
But apart from Li Mu, God's Chosen One, Zero, would also accompany him.
Li Mu was in charge of commanding the corps, while God's Chosen One, Zero, was the highest commander of the overall situation.
Apart from the players, God's Chosen One, Nature Saintess Alice, God's Chosen One Ayr, The Black Dragon Merril in human form, Red Dragon Tiberias, and Spider Queen Lolth, who always stayed underground, were all here.
Of course, most of the time, they were just listening, while the players were discussing the specific action plan.
"Then … Based on what we discussed before, we will follow the target given by Lord Zero and advance along this route to attack the Death Desert. Does anyone have any objections?"
Li Mu pointed at the map in the center of the tent and asked.
The other players nodded.
"No problem."
"Then let's disperse. Everyone, hurry up and go to the Battlefield Channel, then organize the players of the various guilds to go online and gather. Those who are AFK, stop AFK and line up. In ten minutes, we will be ready to set off."
Li Mu looked at the time and said.
…
The meeting was adjourned, and the guild leaders and vice leaders of the various guilds left one after another to organize their own players.
As the guild leader of Nature's Heart, Li Mu also walked out of the tent.
He looked at the densely packed tents and the players coming and going in excitement.
Unknowingly, the number of members of Nature's Heart had exceeded an astonishing 30,000. It was the undisputed number one guild in Elf Nation!
He never thought that one day, he would become the guild leader of a large guild with so many people.
Perhaps only the Elven Kingdom, which only had one server, was able to create such a large-scale guild.
Of course, one of the reasons was that there was no limit to the number of players in Elf Nation.
"I never thought that there would be a day when I would command such a war …"
Li Mu sighed slightly.
Even now, he still felt that it was a little unreal.
He even felt a little scared.
He patted his face and looked down from the hillside.
The players had already begun to gather.
The Elves that covered the mountains and plains began to move like ants. Somehow, they had their own rhythm and began to gather in a specific direction.
This was the advantage of the "game."
The real-time network communication and the mini-map solved the most difficult problem in the era of cold weapons warfare — the organization of the army.
Although the formation of the players was scattered and many of them were still fighting, they would obey the commands from the battlefield seriously.
However, it was not only the players who began to gather, but also the Elves.
This time, the ordinary Elves would also participate in the battle.
This was Eve's decision.
Although the players were the main combat force, the Elves also had to experience fire and blood.
Therefore, with the Original Elf Therandier as the commander, a total of 500 returning Elves and Original Elves who were good at fighting formed a beautiful scene.
Of course, considering the issue of safety, the Elves were mainly archers and were equipped with unicorns as mounts.
Li Mu glanced at the Elves' formation and looked away.
He had already decided to arrange them in a position where they could participate in the battle and be protected by the players.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the battlefield channel and logged in.
At this moment, the number of users displayed on the battlefield channel had exceeded 80,000.
This meant that these 80,000 players were online and ready to listen to the command.
And this number was still soaring at a terrifying speed …
The chat bar of the battlefield channel had been flooded with players. With so many users gathered together, it was impossible to see the new messages. They flashed by in a flash …
Looking at the familiar IDs pinned at the top and the increasing number of users, Li Mu smiled slightly.
"Play the battle song!"
He ordered.
The next second, the surging background music leisurely sounded!
