"Penguin's operations are really rough."
Chen Yu was all smiles when he saw that Penguin had banned accounts forever.
They had turned a blind eye to cheats before. Now that something was going to happen, they banned accounts.
This method seemed to be effective, but it left a bad impression on the players.
Even when cheats appeared in the Legend of Mir, Chen Yu did not dare to ban accounts forever.
Instead, he took it step by step and became stricter.
This was similar to League of Legends in his previous life.
In the beginning, if you used it once, you would be banned for a month. If you used it twice, you would be banned for three months.
If you continued using it, you would be banned forever.
On one hand, it would serve as a warning. On the other hand, it would reduce the players' losses.
However, he did not expect Penguin to be more impressive than Huanyu Technologies. They banned accounts forever.
Couldn't they have banned accounts for half a month or three months?
Banning accounts forever. This showed that Penguin was too inexperienced in game operations.
Of course, this was normal.
In his previous life, Penguin did not have much experience in game operations at the beginning.
They were in the instant messaging business. If there were any violations in the instant messaging business, they would ban accounts. This ban was, of course, a permanent ban.
However, instant messaging was not like a game account.
If an instant messaging account was banned, he could register another one.
Even if it was banned forever, the user's social circle had not been fully formed. It would not affect the users much.
If you banned me, I could register a hundred more. It would not affect me at all.
However, sealing the game account forever was a different matter altogether.
A game account was not just an account. It included the players' hard work in the game for months, or even half a year to a year. If an account was banned, it would take at least a few months or even half a year to start anew.
Did you have the energy to start anew?
Even if you had the energy, you might not have the patience.
This was also the reason why players were so angry when their accounts were blocked.
"Continue …"
The key to whether a game was fun or not was not the game itself. The key was the operation.
If you could keep the popularity of your operation going, then your game would be fun.
To put it simply, games with more people were the most fun.
No matter how exquisite the game was, it would not be fun for him to play it with few players.
With Penguin's operating standards, Chen Yu was absolutely confident that he could kill Penguin within a month.
…
"F * ck, why are they using cheats again?"
"Are they not afraid of death?"
He stared at the data in the background.
Although more than 1000 accounts had been banned yesterday, the backend detection data showed that tens of thousands of people had used cheats that destroyed the balance.
"Seal it again."
Although he was extremely unwilling, Ma Huateng had no choice.
Bracing themselves, Victorious Return once more banned the accounts of over a thousand players.
However, the second wave of account bans did not have much of a deterrent effect. After the second wave of account bans, there were still a lot of players who continued to use cheats. As for the reason, they felt that using cheats was very cool. It felt terrible not to use cheats. He didn't even have the passion to play games. Especially when he was able to solo the BOSS with the help of a cheat. If this was the original game, he might not even be able to meet the BOSS even if he leveled up for a year.
This temptation was too great. How could they not use their cheats?
As for whether or not he was worried about Penguin being banned again.
Of course, he was worried.
Who wouldn't be afraid of having their account banned? But seeing so many people still using cheats … Many people subconsciously wondered if Penguin would dare to ban everyone's accounts.
They definitely wouldn't.
Since they didn't dare, they would continue using cheats.
Looking at the first and second waves, Penguin had only banned 2000 accounts.
But in reality, the number of people using cheats was in the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
Penguin would dare to ban 2000 accounts. But if they banned tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, would Penguin still dare to do it?
As a result, not only did Penguin fail to ban cheats twice, the number of people using cheats actually increased by quite a bit.
This situation caused Ma Huateng to faint.
In a fit of anger, Ma Huateng gave the order to ban 20,000 accounts on the same day.
"Oh my god, Penguin is going crazy. Victorious Return banned 20,000 accounts in a single day."
"F * ck, my account has also been banned. 88, Penguin."
"F * ck, isn't it just using cheats? Didn't you guys agree that we used cheats before?"
"Even though my account hasn't been banned, I'm still considering whether or not to continue playing Victorious Return."
"Forget it, it's better if we don't use cheats. Otherwise, if we get banned all of a sudden, half a year's worth of hard work will go down the drain."
Although it was a little crazy for Penguin to block 20,000 accounts on a large scale this time.
But it had to be said that this large-scale ban did indeed have an effect.
Fewer and fewer people used cheats.
In other words, there were still some who used cheats, but there were very few who used cheats.
Who would be willing to bet their accounts on whether or not Penguin would ban them?
"It's finally over."
Ma Huateng breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the ban of 20,000 accounts was a huge loss, for better or for worse, they had at least put a stop to the cheats.
In the future, as long as they adopted strict measures against cheats, the number of people online would still rise.
Unfortunately, Ma Huateng was wrong.
Even though the large-scale ban of accounts did indeed put a stop to the spread of cheats, it was too naive to think that the number of people online would rise.
Without the support of cheats, some players slowly began to realize that Victorious Return was no longer fun.
Even though Victorious Return was still the same, it still felt like something was missing.
"Boring. Let's call it a day. I'm logging off."
"Yeah, I'm also logging off. I feel like Victorious Return is boring. I'll just go play Legend of Mir."
"Let's go together. I also have an account in Legend of Mir."
Quite a few people logged off after playing for a while.
They didn't know why, but they also felt that banning cheats was a good thing.
Otherwise, with so many cheats, it would definitely destroy the game's balance.
But they were probably too used to cheats before. Now that they were banned, they felt that it was no longer fun.
Of course, if it was only this, Victorious Return wouldn't die.
Not everyone liked cheats, and not everyone knew how to use cheats.
There were still quite a few people who didn't use cheats and just played the game with peace of mind.
But if you wanted to play the game with peace of mind, then the game had to provide you with the conditions to do so.
After the cheating scandal, for some unknown reason, Victorious Return's gold suddenly depreciated by a large margin.
Of course, in theory, gold in any game would always depreciate from the moment it was born.
However, some well-run game companies would be able to control the rate of depreciation very well.
But some game companies that didn't have a unique understanding of the economic system didn't have a certain understanding of the devaluation of gold. Or even if they knew, there was no way to save it. For example, the devaluation of Victorious Return's gold didn't actually start just now. In fact, it had started a long time ago. It was just that it had deepened now.
After a large number of cheats that didn't seem to destroy the game's balance, this also led to a large number of AFK cheats appearing. Quite a few people used these cheats to AFK. After all, it was impossible to stay in the game 24 hours a day. It was much better to have AFK software. Penguin didn't ban these cheats.
This was because these cheats didn't destroy the game's balance. Moreover, they still had to be online every day to use them. Since players were online 24 hours a day, they spent a lot of money.
Since they didn't destroy the game's balance and could still make money for Victorious Return, why ban them?
However, Penguin didn't expect this.
Although these cheats didn't destroy the game's balance in the beginning, over time, as a large number of players used these cheats, the value of gold in the game began to depreciate. This time, for some unknown reason, a large number of gaming organizations had joined Victorious Return. They didn't try to break the balance of the game, nor did they try to do anything harmful. Instead, they used the hack system to continuously farm gold and equipment …
When a large amount of gold, equipment, and all kinds of items flooded the market …
Bang …
Victorious Return, whose economy wasn't doing very well, finally detonated this bomb.
