At noon, the official announcement of the game came out. It was a long article with a great tone, but when you read it carefully and summarized it, it was actually a very short sentence.
If you want to play, play. If you don't, get lost. We'll take back the virtual cabins at the original price.
Given that the virtual cabins have been purchased at a premium of twenty thousand dollars on the market, only an idiot would return the game cabins to the game company at the original price. The game company's words, on the other hand, showed their confidence and pride.
They did have the right to be proud of developing such a game, at least in Roland's opinion. Also, he could tell that the game was developed based on the concept of DND. He didn't know much about DND, but he did know that the Mages under such rules had to learn spells on their own.
The game company, on the other hand, had merely restored part of the rule setting.
Besides … in the rule setting, Mages were indeed a very rare class.
Roland estimated that the game company was trying to limit the number of Mages and push them toward Warlocks, Priests, and even melee classes.
If that was the case, the game company had really put a lot of thought into it. After all, in all fantasy games, Mages had always been extremely powerful. That was why they were called "Masters of Mages."
When a certain powerful class had too many players, it would inevitably affect the balance in the middle and later stages of the game.
The game company greatly increased the difficulty of Mages to limit the number of players in the class. After all, most players recognized the same logic.
The more control and resources a class required, the more powerful it would be in the later stages.
Of course, after the game officials set such a tone, there would definitely be a storm on the internet. Competing companies would definitely use this opportunity to smear the game. A large number of trolls would appear on any topic related to the game, and the entire internet would be in a mess in a short period of time.
After all, World of Falan was the first virtual game in the world. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was advanced technology. It had already become a hot topic on the Internet.
The first five hundred thousand copies of the virtual cabins didn't sell very fast at first. After all, Penguin Corporation was notorious for counterfeiting. Naturally, it wasn't very credible when it claimed that it had developed a virtual game.
Even America's game companies couldn't do it, and you, a counterfeit player, can do it?
With such thoughts in mind, many people were laughing at Penguin Corporation's fake promotion on the Internet and at home. At first, the 500,000 virtual cabins sold very slowly, and it took half a year of promotion before they were sold out.
At first, Roland didn't really believe that Penguin Corporation had really come up with an immersive game, but he played CF in elementary school, DNF in middle and high school, and Skyblade in college.
It was safe to say that Penguin Corporation had given him a happy childhood. That was his sentiments. He decided to buy an immersive cabin for his sentiments. Besides, Penguin Corporation was a big company after all. Even if they couldn't come up with a real immersive game, it should at least be something close to the theory. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to advertise the game so widely.
But no one expected that it was really a virtual game.
As the first virtual game that was at the forefront of the times, the players wouldn't give up the opportunity to play the game no matter how dissatisfied they were. At most, as Roland expected, the players who felt that Mages were too difficult would kick up a fuss and stay away from the game for a few days, but it was unlikely that they would return or sell the virtual cabins.
Otherwise, the price of the virtual cabins wouldn't have been increased by twenty thousand.
Roland closed the forum. Then, he opened a few games that he liked before, only to find that he couldn't play any of them … Then, he exercised on the treadmill for half an hour and rode his bike to the street. He felt that the scenery was more enjoyable than playing regular games in his room.
Late at night, when he was about to enter the game, it suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't played regular video games for days. Could this virtual game help him get rid of his addiction?
With such a thought in mind, Roland entered the game again.
This time, Roland didn't go to the mines again. He had almost two silver coins with him. A hundred copper coins could be exchanged for one silver coin. His current wealth was more than half of the people in the town.
It wasn't because he didn't want to continue mining. He had to save more money. He just felt that he had to test his combat ability now that he was level two. And those giant spiders were the perfect test subjects.
Falken happened to be there when he arrived at the church. He asked for Language Proficiency and bought a longsword from the blacksmith in town. Although it was strange for a Mage to use a longsword, as a remote class, he hadn't learned any defensive spells yet. A longsword might be of some use if the giant spiders approached him.
After that, he went to the grocery store and bought some herbs to stop bleeding. After throwing them into the Space Parcel, he crossed the bridge in the middle of the lake and walked out of the town.
At the end of the bridge in town, he saw Falken.
The wind was cool and gentle. The white-haired old man was standing next to the bridge. He put on a kind smile when he saw Roland.
"Falken, why are you here? You're not guiding the believers in the church anymore?"
"Just now, Jack from the blacksmith told me that you bought a longsword from him, so I came here to wait for you."
It wasn't until then that Roland noticed that Falken was sweating. He was breathing heavily with his hands behind his back.
"I'm going to try my spells. Practice alone won't help much. Battles are the only way to test my magic."
"Giant spiders?" asked Falken.
Roland nodded.
"You can be resurrected. Battles are just a pastime for you. But it's not good to have too many deaths, is it? " Falken released his hands from his back. He was holding a straight stick with a tiny emerald at the top. "This is the staff I used when I was young. Take it."
Any experienced player would know that magic items were expensive. Besides, Roland had saved a lot of money during his days of mining. He knew how unbelievable the purchasing power of money was in this game world.
Honey bread was only sold for two copper coins. Honey, on the other hand, was actually a high-end dessert. Few people in the town could afford it. Furthermore, a large barrel of ale that was enough for three or four adult men to drink until their stomachs were about to explode actually only cost two copper coins.
One copper coin could buy two kilograms of rice, a kilogram of river fish, and several kilograms of seasonal fruits.
Roland, on the other hand, spent most of his time eating in the Lake Light Tavern. Now and then, when Language Proficiency was cast on him, he could hear the customers bragging.
He still remembered one of their words.
