"Activation code?"
"Is it a software activation code?"
Activation codes were not created by MMOs.
The earliest activation code was set for the original software.
Normally, when a legitimate software was purchased and installed, there would be an activation code on it.
Once the activation code was filled in, it would pass the verification of the legitimate software and be used as normal.
If you did not have the activation code, you would not be able to use the software.
This setting was to prevent piracy.
Unfortunately, even with the activation code, piracy could not be prevented. The activation code was not very useful for legitimate software.
Of course, other than software activation codes, there were also game activation codes.
However, the game activation codes were usually for standalone games.
When players bought standalone games and installed them at home, they would need the activation code.
The activation code was equivalent to a key. Without the key, you would not be able to enter the door.
The principle was the same as the legitimate software. The activation code was also to prevent piracy.
However, when using an activation code in an online game, no one knew what it meant.
"Boss Chen, don't MMOs need more people to play? If we use the activation code, I'm afraid it will block most players from entering the game."
Zhang Jianming was very confused.
"Yes, Boss Chen, Zhu Jun meant that the more people playing, the better. Once the activation code is released, I'm afraid that some people will want to play, but they will not be able to obtain the activation code and will not be able to enter the game. Once they cannot enter the game, how can we guarantee that 30,000 people will be online at the same time? "
Xie Zhang also did not understand Chen Yu's meaning.
Li Nan wanted to ask, but since the two of them had already asked, he did not say anything.
However, even if he did not say anything, Li Nan was still full of questions.
He did not understand why Boss Chen came up with the activation code.
Was it not to attract people? Why was it the other way round?
"It seems that everyone's understanding of the activation code is limited."
Smiling faintly, Chen Yu said, "Chengran, the activation code was originally meant for legitimate users to use. He eliminated pirated users. Without the activation code, players will not be able to use the software or play the game. Logically speaking, this does restrict players. It cannot be used by everyone on a large scale. However, why don't you think about it from a different perspective? The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. When something is extremely rare but extremely popular, the more you can't get it, the more you want it. And the more you think about it, the more exciting it will be. "
"Boss Chen, are you saying that we should hype up Miracle MU first and then release the activation code for Miracle MU? In order to obtain the Miracle MU activation code, everyone would definitely spend a lot of effort and effort to fight for it. And in the process of obtaining the activation code, he himself stimulated the popularity of Miracle? By doing this repeatedly, we will be able to promote miracles to the peak. "
Xie Zhang organized his words and said.
"Correct."
Chen Yu nodded. "That's right. It wasn't easy to have more than thirty thousand people online at the same time. It was almost impossible to use normal marketing methods. However, if we use the activation code, we can make this impossible possible. "
Everyone came to a sudden realization.
At the same time, everyone became extremely interested in this activation code.
"By the way, Boss Chen, how are we going to distribute this activation code?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Jianming asked, "Are we going to sell the activation code?"
Xie Zhang rushed to say, "Haha, if we sell the activation code, we can also make a lot of money."
"Why would we sell it? We don't care about this small amount of money."
Chen Yu was speechless.
Why did these guys suddenly think of selling the activation code?
This was not selling software or standalone games. This was an online game.
"We definitely can't sell it."
Chen Yu shook his head.
He did not know if other game companies would sell the activation code, but he would not do that.
"Since we're not selling it, are we going to distribute it directly? I don't think that will work. If players get it too easily, they won't cherish it. "
Zhang Jianming was a little conflicted.
He had just thought of such a good idea, but he ran into another problem.
"It's very simple. We can distribute the activation code into two copies. One copy will be distributed to the guilds that have joined our platform. As for the number of copies, it will be distributed equally according to the proportion of the quests that the guilds have done. If they want more activation codes, they will have to complete more quests and carry out more promotions. As for the other copy, we will leave it for the platform's activities. Those players who have not joined the guilds will also have a chance to get the activation code. "
When this plan came out, everyone clapped their hands and supported it.
"Boss Chen, this plan will not only increase the fame of 5173, but it will also further strengthen our cooperation with the major guilds in the country."
"Yes, originally those guilds only wanted to fight for glory. However, the number of spots for the top 100 guilds is limited. Those guilds that did not enter the top 100 guilds did not have much motivation. However, if we add this activation code, in order to get the activation code, these guilds will also firmly cooperate with our platform. "
"Haha, this way, even if Sohu launches a large-scale attack, we won't have to worry."
Once the activation code was released, it could be said to be killing three birds with one stone. There were many benefits. However, Chen Yu still specially reminded them, "We can only use this activation code plan once. Sohu and the others will also use it. Therefore, this time, after we cooperate with Zhu Jun, we must immediately sign an exclusive contract with the other major game manufacturers that are preparing to go public. "
What was an exclusive contract?
It meant that after cooperating with 5173, they could not cooperate with any other competitors.
This way, once Sohu found out, it would be too late for them to get the activation code.
"Boss Chen, I will do this immediately."
"Okay, today's meeting will end here. Everyone, go do your own things."
Chen Yu announced the end of the meeting.
Zhang Jianming was busy contacting the major game manufacturers.
Li Nan was formulating the rules of the activation code.
Xie Zhang was perfecting the promotion plan again.
In an orderly manner, everyone divided the work.
As for Zhu Jun, when he went back, he was still thinking about how 5173 would promote their miracle.
To be honest, Zhu Jun did not have much confidence that the internal test would exceed 30,000.
However, when Chen Yu communicated the activation code plan to Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun suddenly became very excited.
He started out as a businessman.
He already knew what it meant to hoard a rare commodity.
If the activation code was released, it would definitely explode in the online gaming industry.
Even if they did not need to do anything in the future, countless players would go crazy for the activation code.
"I thought that kid was like me, an expert at showing off. I didn't expect him to have some skills. "
"Looks like the 10 million was not wasted. No, I just paid 3 million first."
Thinking of this, Zhu Jun remembered that Chen Yu said a few days ago that they could slowly pay back the rest.
With this kind of confidence, this fellow must have long been full of confidence.
He was not afraid that you would not pay back. When you made money, you would obediently send the money to your door.
You would even continue to cooperate with them.
"Hehe, good kid. We will still be in contact in the future."
Zhu Jun laughed. He was in a good mood.
However, in his heart, he was thinking of challenging Shengda and competing with Chen Tianqiao.
However, Zhu Jun suppressed this thought for the time being.
It was still too early to challenge Chen Tianqiao. The first thing they needed to do was to prepare for this internal test.
However, they had already prepared the activation code plan.
