“As a result, the game was stuck in an endless loop. Most video game designers couldn’t figure out why Chen Mo was making an MMORPG. ”

“It was reasonable to say that there was no problem in making a Triple-A masterpiece with the story of Azeroth, and there was no need to worry about the charging model. He could just directly use the buy-off system like other Triple-A games. ”

“As for mmorpgs, there were so many games, but not a single company had managed to come up with a good way to make money. ”

A purchase-off system fee?

“Online games required players to continue playing the game, just like League of Legends and PlayerUnknown’s Battleground. Players were also part of the gaming experience, and the loss of players would be devastating to the gaming experience. ”

“A strict buy-off system meant that the threshold was higher and the number of players was reduced. Moreover, selling games was a one-time deal, and the game developers were seriously lacking in motivation to update the future versions. If they were to sell downloadable content, that did not seem to be very suitable. ”

Do you charge for fashion?

“It was possible, but there weren’t as many skins for sale as in League of Legends. Strictly speaking, this mode didn’t seem to match World of Warcraft. For those Tauren, undead, and dwarf players, what kind of fashion are you going to sell them? ”

What about the time fee?

It seemed to be the best solution to ensure fairness. But the question remained. Where did you steal so much time for the current players?

“Obviously, if this research project was so easy to solve, mmorpgs wouldn’t be so unpopular. ”

“However, the players obviously didn’t care about that. After all, Chen Mo said that he would release World of Warcraft with 20 million gaming pods, and the prices of the gaming pods had dropped. What else could they say? ”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“In any case, the players who could afford it would take this opportunity to buy it, and the players who couldn’t could wave flags and shout 666, or trick their rich friends to buy one. ”

......

World of Warcraft had always been the most popular topic in the internet and was way more popular than other games.

“Many companies felt that they were about to overtake him at the beginning, so they had to work harder! ”

“However, he didn’t get any response after scrolling for a long time. After taking a closer look, he found that the popularity of World of Warcraft was one digit higher than the second place ... Since the first place of World of Warcraft was a 1, and the second place also started with a 1, it didn’t look that eye-catching. Besides, the trending Searches on Weibo were closely arranged, so he couldn’t tell that it was World of Warcraft ... ”

These people almost vomited blood. Did it have to be so magical?

“It wasn’t that their business was terrible or that they had bad eyesight, but it was just that it wasn’t common for their popularity to be higher than the second place by a whole digit ... ”

The enthusiasm of the players was beyond imagination. The promotional CG of the Wrath of the Lich King alone was enough to keep them high for a few days.

“The players had too many questions about World of Warcraft, and they were all trying to find out more. ”

Is this game an MMORPG?

How much is this game?

How did he do it?

“Soon, the news was confirmed. It was an MMORPG, and not only that, it was a time-pay model! ”

“The official reply was,[World of Warcraft will adopt a time-payment model, which is divided into two payment methods point cards and monthly cards.] The price of a point card was 200 yuan for 3000 minutes, or 100 yuan for 1500 minutes. The monthly card was set at 500 yuan per month; A certain amount of tax will be taken when players conduct transactions between gold coins and in-game coins. I won’t be considering any other payment model for the time being. “” ”

“When the news came out, the players were first happy, but then shocked. ”

“He was happy that this seemed to be a very fair charging model, but he was shocked that he could earn money from this! ”

“The price wasn’t cheap, but the key was who he was competing with! ”

“200 yuan for 3000 minutes, that was only equivalent to 4 Yuan an hour! ”

“This was the same price as a PC internet cafe from a long time ago. For VR games, it was like a vegetable price. ”

“According to the game time of a Triple-A masterpiece, most Triple-A masterpieces only had thirty to forty hours of game time in a round. According to this calculation, didn’t it mean that one could buy the game time of a Triple-A masterpiece with just a hundred or two hundred Yuan? ”

The triple A works of the matrix gaming capsule were all in 1980 ...

“The price of this month’s card was quite scary, but the problem was, who would buy a monthly card now? ”

Except for the studios that focused on farming money in the game ...

“This was because the majority of the players did not have enough gaming time. It was not easy to take out one or two hours to play every day. 3000 minutes was 50 hours, which was enough for many people to play for a month ... ”

“Only 200 RMB a month, and this was still a next generation VR game? ”

“On second thought, the monthly card price might seem scary, but it was actually a huge profit for those players who had a lot of time. ”

“Moreover, players could trade gold coins in-game, which meant that the officials had recognized the living space of the studio and those who spent time farming gold in the game. They allowed you to buy and sell as long as you gave it to the officials for a draw. ”

“However, allowing this kind of trade was equivalent to the government giving up a profit. How much income could the government get with that little tax? ”

“The officials had even made it very clear that they would not consider other charging models. In other words, they would not consider charging for combat power or charging for fashion. ”

“It was fair, but many players were worried. He wouldn’t really lose money, right? ”

“Although they always said that Chen Mo would suffer losses, it was just a joke. Many players were really panicking after seeing the charging model of World of Warcraft. ”

“It wasn’t that they were worried about Chen Mo’s poverty. They didn’t care about Chen Mo, but they were worried that if World of Warcraft kept making losses, the game might not be able to last ... ”

“Or even if they didn’t stop the service, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure of losses and open other fee-charging outlets to ruin their reputation. That would be more of a loss than gain. ”

“Then, a strange scene appeared on the official forum. The players strongly requested that World of Warcraft be charged for the appearance of the game. ”

“””This game can be played without skins? How do you expect us to live? It must be opened!”” ”

“””That’s right, I strongly support it. I beg salent to let me spend money!”” ”

“””You have to be clear, I’m not buying skins for serente, I’m buying skins for Azeroth. You can’t take away my right to buy skins!”” He said. ”

“In fact, these people were only saying this because they might really need to buy a skin. On the other hand, they hoped to open more mouths for the rich to burn money so that the game’s profits would be better. It would be embarrassing if the game really closed down for no good reason. ”

“Because World of Warcraft had been invested in by so many players, they even bought gaming pods in hopes that the game would be good, not only in terms of reputation, but also in profits. That was why they were worried about Chen Mo. ”

“However, if they knew Chen Zhao’s plan, they would definitely put the money back into their wallets ... ”
