Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 276 The Rise of YY

At present, users of Century Youyuan.com generally have more than 10 friends, and the largest one has more than 1000 friends. They have a living environment for friends to buy and sell.

As the name suggests, friend buying and selling means that as long as the player is worth more than his friend, he can buy and sell his friend at will, buy him as a slave, torture him and appease him, and the other party can also choose to please the slave owner.

Continuously earn money by buying and selling to your friends.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and initial start-up capital is still difficult to obtain, but with the traffic YY welfare plan, it is different. A certain amount of initial capital will be given directly after completing the task.

You can start in third gear by directly igniting the ignition. The slogans for this event are: YY helps you, be one step ahead!

After the launch of friend trading, it once again attracted the love of players, especially some players who like to be the first in everything, and complete YY activities first as soon as they come up.

With money, you can buy your best friends, friends, lovers, old enemies, etc. in real life, prank and torture them as much as you want, and then send them to the other party through YY, waiting for the other party's various reactions.

This feeling is so refreshing!

The vested interest in this planned incident, classmate Zhang Xiaolong, led all employees of the Guangyan Research Center in Guangzhou to prepare for the incident.

Since the YY social version was launched, it has been in a tepid state. It has a good response among the player community, but there are only a few hundred thousand online.

They have not been idle in the past few months. They have linked YY with Foxmail, launched a drift bottle, made friends through email, and then implemented on-site communication on YY. This is a plan that Zhang Xiaolong thought about for half a month.

After the launch of Drift Bottle, the effect was very good, allowing YY to have more than one million online users.

For this traffic YY plan, Zhang Xiaolong also made some changes and communicated tirelessly with network operators, Lin Lang from Century Giant, and Wu Hanqing from Century Network Shield to make preparations.Corresponding servers and bandwidth should rather be redundant and wasted than insufficient.

This behavior is called saturated reserve by Zhang Xiaolong.

It’s a matter of whether it’s a mule or a horse.

On November 11, he bought a high-definition projector with his own money and projected the data on a blank wall.

Red represents the number of registered users and green represents the number of people online at the same time.

Originally, the two parallel lines had only slight fluctuations.

After the traffic YY plan started, Ssangyong raised its head and climbed straight up.

On the first day, the number of registered and online people increased by 30% on the original basis.

70% on the second day, and doubled directly on the third day.

This time the boss has put so much effort and spent a lot of resources on promotion and publicity, just to build momentum and attract traffic to YY. So far, the effect is remarkable.

It is the same as the advertising effect, but there is a core issue, which is the retention rate.

The product itself is not good. After the hot publicity, users will withdraw after picking up the wool. It is a waste of money to listen to it.

Therefore, most of the UI layout of the YY social version was very similar to that of QQ, and some fine-tuning and simplification were made in order not to affect the existing operating habits of users.

In addition to continuous optimization in the past few months, the stability of the service structure has been further improved, especially YY’s unique advantage, the voice chat system.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaolong is still very confident in the products he has carefully crafted.

Moreover, this plan is not a one-time event, but an incentive plan that lasts for a month.

Because inertia is a terrible thing, without external stimulation, it is difficult to change users’ habits of using QQ.

Therefore, Chen Hao could only guide and cultivate user habits by burning money. For this reason, 1 million event funds were specially approved for this event.

And the interaction is planned to last for one month. He believes that one month is enough for the target users to change their minds.

For this reason, the real-time welfare bonus amount is displayed at the top of the event homepage of Century Interactive Entertainment's official website, allowing players to intuitively feel the intensity and courage of Century Interactive Entertainment's event.

He does not expect to shake QQ's user base, which is unrealistic, but to establish a firm foothold in social software and pave the way for the future mobile field.

Being able to occupy a certain share without being swallowed up is considered a success.

Just like Tencent cannot become the leader in the netizen world instantly, Century Zongheng cannot replace QQ.

Now we are playing cross-track PK to see who is more powerful.

<divclass="contentadv">Nowadays, Century Zongheng’s anniversary celebrations are overwhelming, and Tencent responded very quickly, just 2 days later.

Tencent’s official website and game classification website released the welfare activity “Play Fengshen and Get Q Coins”.

As soon as the event came out, the number of players of the QQ Fengshen game skyrocketed. After all, for netizens, Q coins are equivalent to money.

YY and QQ Fengshen went hand in hand and surged forward.

Seven days have passed, and the amount on the activity page of Century Interactive Entertainment’s official website has reached 7 yuan.

Many netizens and players have developed the habit of just taking a look at it when they have nothing to do, and then leave a contented sentence, bah, it only cost 2000 million. The netizens of this year are not strong enough.

Under the attack of capitalism, the results have been remarkable, and both companies have achieved satisfactory results.

The number of people online on YY has tripled from a few days ago, with the number of people online exceeding 2 million.

Thanks to Tencent's vigorous promotion of tens of millions of Q coins, the number of online users of QQ Fengshen has exceeded 50, moving from the top ten to the top five.

At present, the total pool of player groups is only this large. The larger number of players in this game means that there will be fewer players in other games.

Three Kingdoms Online has borne the brunt of the impact, making it the benchmark game for QQ Fengshen.

When some players get used to playing a game, they always want to try other games of the same type, and there are Q coins that can be collected, so they all want to try it out.

However, the cost of silence for many players in Three Kingdoms Online is a bit high. The red five-star cards in the account are still very fragrant, so the impact is limited. They just come back after harvesting the wool.

Only some zero-earning players or players who have been unsatisfactory will decide to switch to new games, hoping to make a comeback based on their rich experience accumulated in Three Kingdoms Online.

Unfortunately, they later realized belatedly that no experience was as direct and powerful as that of Soft Girl Coins.

A fire broke out at the city gate, affecting the fish in the pond. Century Zongheng was fighting with Tencent, and various benefits were constantly being distributed to players.

Other gamers who were worried not about scarcity but about inequality were not happy and began to protest and riot in their own online game forums, acting like they would make trouble if they don't give me cake.

They were really playing it. Within two days, the number of people online in other online games dropped significantly, which made the bosses of other online game manufacturers restless.

These people, including Chen Tianqiao and Ding Lei, all complained about Xiao Chen and Xiao Ma Lai. Today's young people really can't calm down at all, and it's too troublesome.

I had no choice but to force the officials of these games to also provide some benefits, and they were able to cope with it.

There is a lot of fun here, and the other side of the ocean is no less generous.

On November 11, World of Warcraft officially launched its free public beta in North America.

Although it is an open beta in North America, it has attracted countless players from all over the world, who flocked to it in droves.

On the day of the beta test, the Blizzard server was completely paralyzed.

This shows the huge influence of Blizzard games on a global scale.

As long as the server crashes, players, regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign, are not used to it. Their first reaction is to curse and output on the official Blizzard forum.

Blizzard officials were also anxious and urgently expanded the capacity. In less than an hour, the server returned to normal. However, just a few minutes after the server was launched, the server began to queue up.

Some popular servers even have queues of more than 3000 people, and the queue is expected to last 2 hours.

If the connection is disconnected due to network fluctuations, then I'm sorry, you have to reschedule. There is no function to resume the rescheduling at a breakpoint.

Okay, let’s keep scolding, the Blizzard forum is full of smoke and negative energy.
