The most classic gameplay in World of Warcraft was PVE against the environment.
In order to make the game more playable, Blizzard had spent a lot of effort on monsters, maps, levels, bosses, plots, quests, and so on.
However, the pinnacle of PVE was definitely the dungeon.
A World of Warcraft without a dungeon map wasn't the real World of Warcraft.
Unfortunately, the dungeon in this world was snatched by Huanyu Technologies' Kyushu OL.
"Damn, I took 30 minutes to clear this dungeon, but they only took 20 minutes to clear it. How did they do it?"
"It seems like there are many techniques to clear the dungeon."
"What techniques?"
"I don't know. Let's try it out."
In the past, as long as one's level was high and their equipment was good, they could just randomly attack a bunch of monsters.
There was no cooperation.
Even if there was cooperation, it was very shallow.
In this aspect, the most representative was Legend.
However, after Kyushu OL's dungeon appeared, it completely overturned the original gameplay.
It was a brand new experience.
It was filled with incomparable excitement.
Kyushu OL became the most popular MMORPG of the day.
Even many players who were playing other games were attracted by Kyushu OL.
Due to this, the number of online players in Kyushu OL on the last day of the closed beta reached a new high.
…
"Yingfeng, I heard that Kyushu OL set a new record for simultaneous online play today?"
"This … seems like it?"
"How high is it?"
"Actually, it didn't increase by much, Boss Ding."
"I'm asking you a question."
"880,000."
Ding Yingfeng said awkwardly.
Breaking the 880,000 record during the closed beta could definitely be recorded in history.
Even Fantasy Westward Journey back then couldn't achieve such a record.
"Boss Ding, it's mainly because many people went to Kyushu OL to join in the fun. That's why the popularity increased. I believe that after the open beta, their popularity will definitely drop. "
Of course, he was comforting himself.
Once the popularity increased, it would be difficult for it to come down.
Ding Lei laughed self-mockingly and said, "Yes, there are also players from World of Warcraft who joined in the fun."
It wasn't like Ding Lei didn't know.
On the last day of Kyushu OL, tens of thousands of World of Warcraft players went to Kyushu OL.
Even Ding Lei had personally experienced the Kyushu OL instance dungeon.
It had to be said that Kyushu OL's dungeon was much better than World of Warcraft.
Previously, they had been promoting research and development, production, and so on. Ding Lei was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
What else could he say?
Moreover, World of Warcraft's production surpassed that of Kyushu Online. If Huanyu Technologies didn't respond, the players would slap them in the face.
"Did Blizzard make a call?"
"I did."
"What did they say?"
"They replied that they are researching Kyushu OL's dungeon."
"When will they be able to release a dungeon like Kyushu OL?"
"For the time being, there's no timetable over there. We'll have to study this thoroughly before making a decision."
Ding Yingfeng sighed.
Although the setting of the dungeon wasn't difficult, the difference between them and the others was obvious.
Moreover, even if Blizzard imitated Kyushu OL and created an Instance Dungeon, it would take at least a month. Moreover, during this one month, you have to ensure that Kyushu OL doesn't update. With their innovation in dungeons, I'm afraid that by the time you catch up with them, they'll have already updated their dungeon playstyle.
This was the most classic way to play on the internet.
Through rapid updates, they would leave the imitators in the dust.
In the beginning, these imitators might be able to catch up, but after falling behind step by step, the market wouldn't give them a chance anymore.
"Got it. Yingfeng, you can go back first."
Some of them were really defeated by Chen Yu. Ding Lei sat in his office chair in a daze.
He didn't have much confidence in running World of Warcraft in the future.
With Kyushu OL's strength, not to mention whether World of Warcraft could make money, whether it could even recover its costs was a problem.
However, Ding Lei was really unwilling to accept this.
Was he going to be defeated by Chen Yu just like that?
Ding Lei knew that even if Chen Yu attacked their World of Warcraft, NetEase wouldn't be finished.
However, after this battle, NetEase would probably become a second-rate internet company.
No, I won't.
He kept shaking his head in his heart.
Ding Lei looked at Ding Yingfeng, who was about to leave, and said, "Wait."
"Mr. Ding, do you have any other orders?"
"Contact Microsoft and tell them that we agree to the cooperation Bill mentioned before."
…
"Everyone did a good job today."
"After the closed beta, everyone can rest for two days. However, we can't relax. After a week, we'll officially start the open beta. We did a good job in the closed beta. Don't fail in the open beta. "
In the Huanyu Technologies Gaming Department, Chen Yu personally praised all the members of the Kyushu OL project.
"Boss Chen, don't worry. If we fail in the open beta, I'll give you my life."
"I don't want your life. Just focus on the game."
"Yes."
The Kyushu OL project team was overjoyed.
This wasn't just because Kyushu OL won the closed beta.
More importantly, they had defeated the world-renowned gaming company, Blizzard, on their home turf.
Not only that, but the battle with World of Warcraft also gave them an unexpected surprise.
At this time, dozens of companies suddenly appeared in Europe and the United States, which no one cared about before.
This made everyone surprised and happy.
One must know that Huanyu Technologies' online games were mostly operated in China. At most, they could only act as an agent in Southeast Asia. However, Europe and the United States had never made a breakthrough. However, at this time, with Kyushu OL, such a huge gap was created.
For Chen Yu, this was also incomparably exciting.
Speaking of which, this was impossible in his previous life.
However, in this life, it happened.
This strengthened Chen Yu's confidence.
As long as they put their heart into it, they could also conquer the world.
After that, Chen Yu reminded Zou Tao and the rest of them to be prepared to cooperate with major European and American companies.
In the future, the battlefield with Blizzard would no longer be in China. It would be overseas. It would be in the world.
…
"Mr. Ding, I'm sorry."
After the commendation, Chen Yu called Ding Lei.
Although the two of them were at loggerheads in the game, Chen Yu didn't hate Ding Lei.
"A loss is a loss. Chen Yu, you don't have to apologize to me."
"No matter what, I only want to deal with Blizzard."
"I know."
Ding Lei nodded.
He didn't hate Ding Lei.
It was just that a loser's mentality didn't feel good.
Moreover, Chen Yu's last sentence was a huge blow to him.
Chen Yu didn't treat NetEase as an opponent. He only wanted to deal with Blizzard.
Ding Lei knew that Chen Yu didn't mean it.
"However, Chen Yu, don't be too proud. I lost to you in the game, but you have to be careful in other areas. "
"Other areas?"
"Yes. I'm talking about instant messaging. That's your core business. "
Chen Yu felt strange. "Mr. Ding, does NetEase Bubble want to compete again?"
"Don't worry, your opponent this time isn't me. However, there's someone who is countless times better than me."
"Countless times better than you? Mr. Ding, you must be joking. Is there such a person?"
"What do you think?"
"Don't tell me you're talking about Microsoft's Bill Gates."
"That's right."
Chen Yu was shocked.
He knew that MSN was here.
