“Holy cow, when did WY become so generous?”
“Duh, look who the boss is now? Didn’t you see the announcement? All the costs for this time are covered by Sawyer Mitchell alone. If it were Tristone Hart, it would be good enough if he doesn’t rip you off, let alone expect him to give back to the players for a laugh.”
“Damn, after supporting WVY for so many years, finally I see some returns, even though it’s for the first ten thousand. But damn, I must be in that list. I promised my wife a honeymoon trip when we got married, but we didn’t make it. This time it’s a done deal, hehe.”
“Wow, is that how you do honeymoon?”
“I don’t care about anything else, I just want to know how many girls will be in this event. Damn, if it’s all dudes, what’s the point? Just thinking about the scene of ten thousand guys sunbathing on the beach makes me dizzy.”
“Damn, what you said is so shocking, I’m also dizzy.”
“Anyway, whoever says what! Damn, let me kneel for Sawyer Mitchell! Take my
knee! Damn, it’s probably the first time I’ve seen someone who hasn’t made any money starting to throw cash around, and it’s a lot.”
“Savvyer Mitchell is awesome!”
“Sawyer Mitchell is powerful!”
“Sawyer Mitchell is charming!”
After the event was announced, the forum was bustling. Almost all players were going crazy, wishing they could start playing the game now, some players even posted leveling guides in advance, like pre-stocking the fridge at home, finding good friends in advance, staying online twenty-four hours a day, and so on. Anyway, one thing is fair for everyone.
That is, this game has no beta test, so there is no such thing as beta players. So to everyone, the game content is unknown, anyway everyone starts from scratch. Then we’ll see who can get into the top ten thousand for real skill.
But soon, the people at IVY also noticed some issues raised by players, that is, the matter of level-up. After all, ten thousand seats may seem a lot, but how many players are preparing to play this New World? The ten servers planned by Finn Lewis may not be enough, there’s only one in every 200 people.
Female players usually level up slower, so if there are many male players at that time, this event will inevitably lack a lot of fun. When WY staff came to Finn Lewis for advice on this, Finn Lewis thought wickedly that it would be fun for men and women to mingle in the game.
And those who can rush so fiercely are generally young men, and most of them are single, even if they are female players, they are basically single. If they have a partner, it would be hard to take out so much time to play games. So, they are all single men and women. Maybe it will turn into a mass dating event! And relatives can come along! Chances are many male players will bring female players along for the ride!
With this in mind, Finn Lewis gave the staff a tricky suggestion. So, soon after the event, a new announcement appeared.
“Do you want to meet your other half in the game?” This event is a sub-event of the previous one. In short, it means that if there are in-game players after getting into the top ten thousand who invite opposite-sex players to join them for the trip, there will be unexpected surprises. If they end up getting married in reality, WY will even send gifts.
Gotta say, this event has excited many single male wolves in the game. Isn’t this clearly giving them an opportunity?
The series of actions taken by WY has dealt a blow to other game companies. The quota for this event is quite large, with 10,000 places, which is far more than the few places they usually offer for a mobile phone as the first prize. With these ten thousand places, there might be hundreds of thousands of players joining the game, and this game is a long- term one.
They’re talking about the first ten thousand players to reach the max level. Reaching maximum level in a game is not an easy task. Even in the early years of Monster World, it took a long time to reach the maximum level, especially in a new game, when players are not very familiar with the game system, it takes even longer.
So, after such a long time, how many players would return to their previous games? The thought of this made those in the gaming companies feel a wave of despair, but they didn’t have any good solutions either. They could only challenge you if they had the guts to spend money. The question was, could their executives compete with Prodigal of ury?
Although information about Finn Lewis is not widely circulated on the internet, some people in their circles have received some news. At least they estimate that Finn’s assets are definitely over 10 billion Federal coins. But how many gaming companies in the country have a market value of over 10 billion Federal coins? Apart from IVY, it seems to be only the T company?
However, T’s main business is not games. So, with nothing else to do, these game companies could only curse the prodigal son and hope IVY’s new game totally flops, unable to even recoup this amount of money. Keep in mind, it’s not a small amount of money, it’s a substantial amount!
“Director Lewis, do we have enough servers?” The game servers this time were completely outsourced, rather than run by IVY itself. But the other server-provider company also belonged to Finn Lewis’ enterprise, so Yuri Johnson didn’t really care, as long as the servers were powerful enough.
But now, it seems that the game servers are totally not enough! Because after Finn’s activity was announced, the number of active players on the official forum suddenly doubled! The daily active users are currently close to 700,000! This figure is already quite horrifying.
Moreover, stimulated by the spike in active player numbers, VVY’s stocks in the North Federation rose slightly, with a market value of approximately 16.2 billion Federal coins, an increase of about 2 billion in market value. Most importantly, due to this event, some foreign gaming forums also began to pay attention to WY’s new game.
Yuri Johnson had no choice but to come and ask Finn about this issue. But Finn now is uninhibitedly rich. He still has 230 ,ooo points on hand. A Photon I computer is just around 9,000 points. Finn Lewis can exchange for at least 20 units, so he doesn’t need to worry at all about a shortage of servers.
“You rest easy, if the servers are not enough, I’ll have people add more immediately. Adding servers is simply a matter of opening a new data stream, it’s very fast. What you need to worry about now is, can our players fill the servers!” Finn said with a laugh.
A server can accommodate 200,000 players, factor in the basic on-off line numbers, which would double the number of players, meaning a server can hold approximately 400,000 players. Even if a new server couldn’t accommodate so many players, there would still be around 300,000 players.
So, 10 servers would be a total of 3 million! Just know, this number is even higher than the highest peak of online players nationally, the previous IVY game, Dream Westward Journey, didn’t even surpass this number. Of course, the number of players exceeded it purely in terms of numbers, but that was because many players had five or six different accounts. The actual number of players couldn’t be that high.
“Yes, I will ask the technical guys to issue a new policy. Each ID card can only create one account per server, which can save some server resources.” After thinking for a moment, Finn Lewis came up with an idea that each player can only really play one account. He didn’t want the fake service rate. So he decided to announce this policy which didn’t really have anything to do with server resources.
The important thing was that this could record the real number of players, which would be good for Finn’s next step. As for Finn’s stipulation, Yuri Johnson didn’t have anything to say.
But when this decision was announced, it did have some impact on regular players, but not a huge one. Afterall, everyone was not planning to create that many alternative accounts, and creating more wasn’t useful anyvvay.
rl’V0 days before the formal server opening, Finn had Yuri initiate the pre-recharge activity, in addition, the official’s eight professionals have all been released. As New World’s professions have not changed much, nor have their positions. Only the specific skill performance, damage, and special effects have been modified, the position of the profession has not changed.
Therefore, these players could easily decide what profession to play. But as New World did not have any free-trial time, one would need to recharge if they want to play. The time-costing charge was about 50% higher than WY’s previous time-costing games. However, despite this, when the pre-recharge activity started, the continuously increasing recharge figures still amazed everyone.
Especially those who are in charge of the backend work, and even Finn Lewis himself was surprised! Twelve hours after opening the pre-recharge activity, the total number of recharged accounts for New World exceeded 2.2 million individual, an average of 50 Flame Nation coins per account!
This means, on this day of pre-recharge alone, collected a full 110 million! And following WY’s charging model now, one-hour charge is 0.6 Flame Nation coins. If 2.2 million accounts are all active, then the daily charging amount will reach about 30 million! If this number is doubled, the daily online point card fee will almost surpass 60 million! One month is a total of at least 1..8 billion,
and even more!
