[A comprehensive comparison between World of Warcraft and Kyushu OL …]
One had to admit that although World of Warcraft was suppressed by Kyushu OL, there were still some niche fans of the game.
In particular, some niche fans of the game had always thought that World of Warcraft was better than Kyushu.
For this reason, even if they knew that not many people played their game, they still felt that they were better than others.
Especially when facing Kyushu OL, they didn't know why, but they felt a sense of superiority.
In their eyes, those who played World of Warcraft were of a higher level, while those who played Kyushu OL were of a mediocre level.
Of course, this included the comprehensive comparison chart. Their sense of superiority appeared from time to time.
Unfortunately …
This kind of post wasn't very useful.
Those who played Kyushu OL knew about World of Warcraft.
In fact, many of those who played World of Warcraft had switched to Kyushu OL.
Although this kind of post wasn't very useful, the power of disgust was still quite strong.
Especially for the management of Kyushu OL.
"These guys."
Zou Tao snorted coldly.
After arriving at the R&D department, Zou Tao asked, "When can we finish the dungeon?"
"In the last few days of the closed beta."
"Okay, we'll go online on the last day of the closed beta."
According to Zou Tao's original plan, he was going to release it during the open beta.
However, when he saw those self-righteous World of Warcraft players, Zou Tao couldn't help but feel angry.
Since you all think that World of Warcraft is a classic …
Then, when the time comes, I'll show you what a true classic is.
[World of Warcraft is more fun than Kyushu OL. I don't think so. On the last day of the closed beta, the dungeon system will be online.]
This was a piece of news on Kyushu OL's official website.
After seeing this piece of news, a group of Kyushu OL's players came over to watch.
"Hohoho, the big boss is angry."
"I really don't know if those World of Warcraft players are courting death. If you think World of Warcraft is fun, then go ahead and play it. Why do you have to compare Kyushu OL with you?"
"That's right. We don't even want to compare with you."
Being compared with World of Warcraft proved that Kyushu OL was better than World of Warcraft.
World of Warcraft wasn't convinced.
However, this wasn't what everyone was concerned about.
In any case, everyone knew that Kyushu OL's simultaneous online gaming was much better than World of Warcraft.
These fellows wanted to say that demonic beasts were more fun than the Nine Prefectures, so be it. Even if they said so, it wouldn't reduce the number of players in Kyushu who were online at the same time. On the contrary, they insisted on using Kyushu as a comparison. Many Warcraft players even ran over to Kyushu's OL.
What they were more concerned about was the dungeon system introduced by Huanyu Technologies.
"Erm, does anyone know what an instance dungeon is?"
"Well, I don't know."
"Haha, I know. Instance Dungeons are Instance Dungeons. They are Instance Dungeons that are different from the original."
Just from the word 'instance dungeon', it was hard to tell what the instance dungeon system was.
Some people guessed that it was a completely new setting.
Others thought that it was a brand new map.
There were also people who thought that this might be a completely new way of playing.
However, these were all guesses.
They didn't know what the Instance Dungeon was.
Although they didn't know, they were looking forward to it.
After all, Huanyu Technologies made such a grand announcement and went online on the last day of the closed beta. This already told them that this system was very important.
In addition, in the past closed betas, the closed beta was usually the most primitive version, and they wouldn't update it.
Even if there was a new version, it would only be released during the open beta.
However, this time, Huanyu Technologies broke the tradition and prepared to release a new version during the closed beta.
This might be a response to World of Warcraft.
Or, this might be the time for Huanyu Technologies to show its true strength.
On the other side.
Ding Yingfeng, the person in charge of NetEase's World of Warcraft, was also paying close attention to Huanyu Technologies' actions.
When they announced that the 'instance dungeon system' would be released on the last day of the closed beta, Ding Yingfeng immediately contacted Alan, the vice president of Blizzard.
"Mr. Alan, what's the situation here?"
“?”
"Mr. Alan, Huanyu Technologies released a piece of news. They are about to announce a completely new way of playing, the instance dungeon system. Do you know their instance dungeon system?"
"Instance dungeon?"
Alan shook his head. "I've never heard of an instance dungeon system."
"Mr. Alan, I think Blizzard should focus on researching this. This might be Huanyu Technologies' trump card."
"Mr. Ding, I think you're worrying too much."
Alan didn't agree or disagree. "You should know that World of Warcraft was developed by Blizzard after many years. The world's top online game is our World of Warcraft. Before we developed it, we had already attracted the world's most advanced ideas. I don't think Kyushu OL can release a new way of playing the game. Even if they do, it's just a small setting. There's no need to be too nervous. "
"Mr. Alan, you might not know much about Huanyu Technologies. Huanyu Technologies is a very powerful gaming company …"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Ding. I think we are professionals in the field of research and development. We don't need your guidance. However, you still have to work harder in the field of operations. With the number of people online, we are very disappointed. "
"We are also professionals in the field of operations. You don't have to worry."
"That's the best."
The two of them parted on bad terms.
The last day of Kyushu OL's closed beta was getting closer and closer.
Countless people were looking forward to this day.
According to Huanyu Technologies' arrangement, the public beta would begin a week after the closed beta.
Once the public beta began, World of Warcraft's life and death would be decided.
In fact, World of Warcraft was now completely suppressed by Kyushu OL.
However, this was still the closed beta.
NetEase still had hope. They were still hoping for a miracle.
However, the last day of Kyushu OL's closed beta was destined to shatter their dreams.
In other words, this day didn't only shatter NetEase's dreams.
The arrival of this day opened a new era for the entire online gaming industry.
Kyushu OL's newest dungeon system was released as scheduled.
Huanyu Technologies released Kyushu OL, the world's first dungeon — — [Battle of the Lower Tang].
Almost all Kyushu OL players went online as soon as it was released.
Because it was only the last day, they all wanted to experience the new dungeon.
[Young warriors, the Battle of the Lower Tang is the best battlefield for you to gain merit. You can gather your teammates to try it out. Remember, the Battle of the Lower Tang is a new game, so you must be careful.]
At first, the players didn't pay much attention to the introduction of the Battle of the Lower Tang dungeon. In their eyes, it was the same as a normal quest. It was just a quest description. However, when they gathered their teammates to form a party, they finally discovered the difference in the game's gameplay.
"Damn, we seem to have entered another dimension."
"Eh, why are there only five of us? Where are the others?"
"I don't know. Weren't there a bunch of people here to play this dungeon? Where did they go?"
Many people were puzzled.
However, they soon vaguely knew the answer.
They looked at the other players in the internet cafe. They had entered the same map as them. However, the difference was that although they had entered the same map as him, he did not encounter them in this map.
"Damn, brother, why can't I see you?"
"Yeah, I can't see you either."
"We are clearly in the same map. What's going on?"
"Could it be that this is a fictional dimension and we won't interact with others?"
"Could it be that this is a parallel world?"
"Damn, this is too fantastical."
The players had never played such a game before.
In the past, when they entered a map, everyone was there.
Therefore, some disgusting guilds cleared the map in order to snatch the big boss.
But now, everything was completely different.
With this dungeon, they didn't have to worry about being cleared.
Because their entry had nothing to do with others.
This was a dimension that was dedicated to them.
In this dimension, they could play to their heart's content. They didn't have to worry about others stealing their kills or entering.
"Damn, this game is so cool."
"Now I understand why the game developers dared to challenge World of Warcraft."
"Hahaha, with this gameplay, World of Warcraft is going to be obsolete."
The appearance of the new dungeon suddenly aroused the passion of countless players.
Even in World of Warcraft, he didn't have such a brand new playstyle.
Not only that. Such a gameplay completely subverted the previous players' understanding of online games.
Moreover, this was just the beginning of their experience.
When hundreds of thousands of players entered the dungeon map, they further discovered the unique gameplay of the dungeon.
"Brothers, be careful. This dungeon isn't like the map outside. We have to be careful."
"Cooperate well. This dungeon is too difficult."
"Damn, this is just the easy level. What's the hell level like? I want to see."
"See your sister. Let me tell you, a few of my brothers chose the hell level. Guess what?"
"What?"
"They were wiped out."
"Damn …"
How should they put it?
The dungeon was actually a map. In theory, it was the same as the map outside.
There were monsters, NPCs, and checkpoints in the dungeon.
But the checkpoint monsters in the dungeon were very different from the map outside.
Obviously, the monsters and checkpoints in the dungeon were much more intelligent.
Don't think that those monsters would just stand still and let you hit them. Sometimes, they would have a certain level of intelligence.
They would even pretend to be dead. When you thought they were dead, they would bite your little brother when you walked up to them.
This greatly exceeded their previous understanding of games.
However, this also aroused their interest.
They began to be careful.
They began to understand what cooperation was.
They knew what skills they should use and what skills they shouldn't use.
They discovered that different skills dealt different amounts of damage to the monsters.
They also understood that only by working together could they succeed.
"Brothers, let's go to Kyushu OL."
"That dungeon system has been released?"
"Yes."
"How is it? Is it fun?"
"Nonsense."
"How is it compared to World of Warcraft?"
"It's 10 times better than World of Warcraft."
"Damn, is this for real?"
"It's fake. My whole family will die."
In an instant, under the influence of Kyushu OL's dungeon, the number of Kyushu OL players online rose sharply.
Among these people who went online, some didn't want to go online. But for the dungeon, they went online.
Moreover, once they experienced the dungeon, they didn't want to go offline no matter what.
As for why?
They were worried that after going offline, they wouldn't be able to experience such a fun dungeon again.
Of course, this was only the original Kyushu fans.
In fact, apart from these Kyushu fans, there were also a series of World of Warcraft players.
Yes.
They were indeed fans of World of Warcraft.
But they were also fans of classic games.
The meaning was simple.
As long as the game was fun, they would play it.
Previously, Kyushu OL was indeed slightly worse than World of Warcraft. Therefore, they thought highly of themselves and stayed in World of Warcraft.
But now, it was different.
When Kyushu OL released a brand new dungeon, they immediately rebelled.
"Sorry, I think Kyushu OL is more fun now."
"Damn, didn't you say Kyushu OL was trash?"
"Uh, that was before. I'm going offline."
"Go offline your mom. What about World of Warcraft?"
"What does it have to do with me? I only like to play games that I like. Let's meet again if fate allows. Or, let's meet again in Kyushu OL … "
