The economic system in the game was the same as the economic system in real life.
When the game's gold coins not only depreciated, but all kinds of goods also skyrocketed.
Especially the necessities of life.
For example, potions.
These were potions that any game needed.
Players needed potions to release skills, and the game company also needed potions to consume players' gold coins.
Because this was the only way to achieve balance and slow down the pace of the entire game.
Originally, the price of these potions was maintained at a reasonable level. Many players could not only level up to a certain level after buying a certain amount of potions, but also earn some gold coins in the process of leveling up.
But now, the sky full of gold coins suddenly poured into the game.
If the original price of potions was maintained, then potions would no longer be a necessity for players to survive.
Once the potions were not controlled, then the entire game's gameplay would become distorted.
For example, in PK, potions were a more important supply.
Once the price of potions was too low, then no matter how good your equipment was or how high your level was, I would keep adding potions.
If you slashed me once, I would add potions to replenish my health.
If you slashed me twice, I would add potions to replenish my health.
If you slashed me three times, I would buy a large amount of potions to replenish my health.
Unless you could kill me in one hit?
But basically, it was impossible.
So far, most games were not so abnormal.
Since that was the case, then as long as you could not kill others in one hit, and there was an endless supply of potions, from another point of view, it was basically another kind of invincible state.
"There's a problem with the economic system."
Penguin immediately acted and quickly increased the price of potions.
It had to be increased. If it did not increase, the pace of the entire game would be distorted.
However, although increasing the price of potions seemed to have a certain effect. But the economic system was a very complicated thing. It was not something that could be done just by changing the price of potions.
For example, the large amount of gold coins that had emerged in the market now was only controlled by a small number of people. But for most ordinary players, they did not have much money. He did not AFK, he did not farm gold coins, he still had the same amount of gold coins. At this time, he would create another situation. That was, ordinary players did not have the money to buy potions.
Can you imagine, if ordinary players did not even have the gold coins to buy potions, how could he level up?
How could he farm monsters?
How could he PK?
How was he supposed to complete the mission?
"F * ck, I'm not playing this game anymore. Just a few bottles of potions cost me all my money."
"I'm not playing either. It's too f * cking shady. The price of a single potion has increased by three times."
"Goodbye, Triumph."
In an instant, many ordinary players chose to quit the server.
What's the point of playing?
Previously, I thought the 3D version of Victorious Return was alright, but now, it was no longer interesting.
"Restore the original price of potions."
Ma Huateng saw that the situation was not right and immediately returned to the original price.
However, the gold coins in the game continued to depreciate even though they had recovered.
Gold coins in the game were not only used for daily necessities, but also for equipment.
When you reached a high level, if you didn't have the corresponding equipment, it would be difficult for you to survive.
Previously, when the Gold Coin System was working normally, although everyone was not rich, they could still survive. Regardless of level, one could wear the same type of equipment. But now, no matter what level they were at, they could no longer afford to wear the same equipment.
As for the reason, it wasn't because of the devaluation of gold coins and the rise of prices.
The price of potions in shops could be controlled by the game developers, but the price of equipment on the market could not be controlled by the game developers. You couldn't control how much a player sold for, right? They could sell whatever they wanted. Generally speaking, this was based on market conditions. But now, the devaluation of gold had reached a frightening level. Originally, an item could be sold for 100,000 gold, but now it was being sold for 1,000,000 gold.
Alright, the normal players were in despair again.
"I want to say that I've been working really hard to continue playing this game, but I really, really can't continue."
"Triumph was the first game I ever played. I don't want to say goodbye to it like this."
"Penguin, is your operating standard this bad?"
Many players were incomparably disappointed.
So much so that some of the players who had deep feelings for Victorious Return couldn't help but shed tears.
"It's over. I want to say that Triumph is finished."
"Yeah, today will be the last time I play Triumph. Brothers, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Seeing the originally flourishing Victorious Return slowly walk out of the abyss, the hearts of countless players were filled with sorrow.
However, they didn't know what to do.
Penguin also didn't know what to do.
…
"Evergreen, what's going on?"
"I …"
"How did the value of our gold suddenly devalue so much?"
"It's probably because the players used the hack software to farm gold."
"Then ban their accounts."
"If we ban them again, we'll …"
Ceng Liqing rubbed his forehead.
After the cheating scandal and the economic crisis, Victorious Return's performance was becoming more and more disappointing.
Many players didn't wait for Penguin to ban their accounts. They had long since transferred to other games.
If they were banned again, perhaps some servers would become ghost servers.
Ghost servers.
Can you imagine what a ghost server would look like?
A vast map, empty, with only you and the NPCs in it.
This was no longer an online game, this was a standalone game.
"Invite the developers from Korea over."
"I've already invited them, but they said they can't do anything about the economic system."
"The game was developed by them. Don't tell me they can't even fix the economic system?"
"They said the economic system was broken by us. It has nothing to do with them."
"Fuck …"
In a rare moment, Ma Huateng smashed his own teacup.
…
Everything was just so miraculous.
No one knew that Victorious Return, which was originally performing well, had actually lost half of its online players in just half a month. No, it had already lost two-thirds of its online players.
"Who did it?"
Ma Huateng hadn't slept for a day and night. His eyes were red.
"It's probably Huanyu Technologies."
Zhang Zhidong said, "Although I don't have any proof, based on the various traces, it should be them. For example, this Final Fantasy cheat might be the work of Huanyu Technologies. As for the large amount of gold farming studios that destroyed Victorious Return's economic system, it's said that they were also hired by Huanyu Technologies. Huanyu Technologies has close cooperation with all the major gaming studios. They have the ability to do this. "
"Good move. Truly good move."
Ma Huateng clenched his fists.
He knew that crippling Victorious Return was equivalent to crippling his own instant messaging device.
Without Victorious Return's blood transfusion, their instant messaging device would sooner or later be destroyed.
"Since they're so ruthless, we won't be polite."
"If we're going to die, we're all going to die together. Zhidong, can you make a cheat in Legend of Mir?"
"No problem."
"Good. Since they destroyed Victorious Return, we'll destroy their Legend of Mir. No, we'll also destroy their bubble shop. "
