Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 178 "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" (compensation update)
(Because Chapter 177 has illegal content... I don't want to apply for lifting the ban, and I don't want to say anything. Now I will add the non-violating content to the content of this chapter. Let's just read it... This chapter is nearly 4000 words, and the 2K fee is still charged )

The online real-name system that Chinese people have become accustomed to in later generations did not exist in this era. It was gradually required after 2005, and it was basically implemented in 2015.

Except for Fang Jie's 51ka, all other websites can register and log in anonymously without the need for name and ID information, including 51wan. Although there is a real-name authentication system, it is not mandatory.

As for the various shielded words and shielded words on the Internet in later generations, there are no such words in this era.

As for Internet cafes, they don’t even have an Internet cafe management system, so how can they talk about going online with their real names?

In fact, the vast majority of Internet users across the country are not college students or IT practitioners, but minors such as technical secondary school, technical school, high school, and junior high school students.

After all, the vast majority of universities are basically clustered in first- and second-tier cities. There are no universities and large IT companies in small places. Internet cafes in these places mainly rely on minors for their main source of income.

At present, the state does not stipulate that minors cannot go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet. It was not until 2002 in the previous life that such mandatory regulations were introduced because of the opposition and hatred of the parents of the students.

But the effect is not good. After all, there are policies and countermeasures, so the so-called "black Internet cafes" were born.

Even 20 years later, such black Internet cafes still exist. For example, if you forget to bring your ID card, the cashier can take out a lot of borrowed ID cards from the drawer. It was not until face recognition began. It is barely avoided.

Of course, Fang Jie didn't want his Boiling Internet Cafe to become a black Internet cafe. Although there is no such statement now, it will not be a problem in the long run. Besides, Boiling Internet Cafe mainly caters to college students, so it never occurred to them to treat minors. open.

But to prevent minors from surfing the Internet, first of all, it is technically impossible.

At present, everyone is still using the first-generation ID cards like plastic cards. Even if the Internet cafe has an ID card authentication system, it still can’t be swiped!

Let alone face recognition...

Moreover, the state stipulates that one can get an ID card at the age of 16. The dean’s son is in the third year of high school. Unless Fang Jie went to the swimming pool in Shuanglu District when he was a child, he directly recognized his face in person and wouldn’t let him in after charging money. live.

On the other hand, the few shareholders of the Internet cafe will definitely not agree. How can there be any reason to drive people out and not make money?
The point is, it's not right to do this, and the country doesn't care about it now, so you're doing it for yourself, aren't you sick?

So after some consideration, Fang Jie could only apologize to Dean Wu Xingkuan.

Of course, the words were not as blunt as they said, just saying that even if the Boiling Internet Cafe forbids your son to go online, he can also secretly go to other small Internet cafes to surf the Internet. Restriction is called blocking rather than sparse.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingkuan also turned the corner, feeling that what Fang Jie said was very reasonable.

Block a Boiling Internet cafe, there are also Fast Internet cafes, Sunshine Internet cafes, Jinqiao Internet cafes...there are countless, at least my son is surfing the Internet at the Boiling Internet cafes, at least Fang Jie will help to take care of and supervise him, so I can rest assured.

After Wu Xingkuan got out of the car and left, Fang Jie sat in the car and thought for a long time.

Black Internet cafes and such are still trivial matters, and it will be implemented in accordance with the national management system in the future. He doesn't want to be poked in the back by the majority of parents, saying that he earns money from elementary school students.

The reason for considering the real name system is that the online game industry is the core of this life, and the real name system for online games will be implemented sooner or later, and it will come earlier than other real name systems.

In Fang Jie's view, the real-name system for online games is indeed necessary. It is mainly to prevent minors from becoming addicted to online games. The so-called greater ability comes with greater responsibility. Of course, there is still a sense of social responsibility in this regard.

When the country implemented the real-name system, it was not implemented at one time, but gradually promoted and implemented in different industries and categories, and the game industry was the first to bear the brunt. Fang Jie felt that it was necessary to plan ahead and set an example in advance.

Putting aside these seemingly serious topics for the time being, let's talk about games.

Back on the third floor of Boiling Internet Café, I saw that all the employees of the company were not off work. They were all sitting in front of the computer, playing games, and talking to each other from time to time. The whole company was like a vegetable market.

Fang Jie took a closer look, and found that these guys were not playing "Wulin", which had been finished in Chinese, but "Three Kingdoms on the Internet", which was just launched today, so he immediately became interested and joined the vegetable market.

According to the normal historical development track, "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" should actually be listed on September 9.

But it may be that Fang Jie's butterfly flapped its wings, which caused the game to be delayed for nearly a month before its release.

This made him realize that not by himself changing some history, everything will be advanced, and sometimes it may form a hindering effect.

For example, 51wan's "Place a Thousand Emperors" obviously hindered the development momentum of "The King of Kings". This may also be the reason that caused the release of "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" to be delayed.

In any case, "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" is still freshly released, so of course you have to experience it.

But within half an hour of the experience, Fang Jie gave up.

Not fun-this is his intuitive evaluation of this game.

"Network Three Kingdoms" is even more MUD than "King of Kings".

This is not only because Fang Jie, who has been a man in two lives, has played too many online games and has a higher standard for judging.

It's not that "Network Three Kingdoms" is not as good as "King of Kings", this game actually has a lot of gimmicks when it comes out.

For example, ISP servers in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia, Citigroup, Canada, Australia and other countries have been set up at the same time, which is known as the linkage of eight regions. From the current point of view, it is definitely a pioneering work.

Another example is the million question bank...

Yes, "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" also has an answering system, claiming that there are as many as millions of various historical and political questions.

Fang Jie didn't know if someone copied his MUD game idea, maybe this online game had such a setting in the first place.

In addition, the monthly card is free for three months... This may be related to the research on "Idle Thousand Emperors" and "King of Kings". I think that the three-month free model should attract more players into the pit.

Fang Jie couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard the news.

"Three Kingdoms on the Internet" may not understand that the free of "Idle Thousand Emperors" is completely different from the free of MMORPG games.

"Idle Thousand Emperors" is made free for future traffic monetization. If MMORPG is free, and it is not a free model like the item mall, it is estimated that there will be no time for traffic monetization at all.

At present, RPGs are free, which means that most of the Internet users who are minors are free prostitutes. In the end, they will definitely lose even their pants.

And because it is free for three months, no matter whether it is a physical channel provider like Lianbang Software, or an online channel provider like Tencent and 51ka, they can't participate in it, and the promotion is even more stretched than "Wan Wang".

Whether it's free or not, it's just a small problem.

The real big problem of "Network Three Kingdoms" is that it does not grasp the core gameplay of the game and the game psychology of the players.

Three Kingdoms-themed games, what do you play?
In addition to the strategic gameplay of being a monarch, what you play is the collection of various famous generals!
The "Three Kingdoms" developed by the island country and other series of stand-alone games with the theme of the Three Kingdoms have done a good job.

However, "Network Three Kingdoms" is an MMORPG game. There are some strategic gameplays, but they are much weakened.

Secondly, all the famous generals have been instrumentalized, that is, players cannot own these famous generals, nor can they substitute for these famous generals. These famous generals are just tools for issuing tasks.

This is very boring!
What we players want to play is to let Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi serve as our military advisers, let Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, and Dian Wei help us fight the enemy and expand our territory, let Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan submit to us, and finally Unify the Three Kingdoms!

But none of these.

Not only no, these NPCs are also the overlords of the players. Even if the players become city lords, their official positions will always be lower than these NPCs. If the governance is not effective, they will be kicked out by these NPCs.

The players are very upset about this point. I entered the game to abuse NPCs, even if the difficulty is a little higher, at least give some hope, but now there is no hope at all, and I will always be ridden on the head by these NPCs. Is this game planner a pig?
Maybe the game planning of "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" is really a bit of a brain problem. Not only is it set up like this, but it is also hyped as a gimmick, claiming that there are more than 100 famous NPC generals in the game, and all the famous generals of the main Three Kingdoms will appear!
When the players saw it, they were very excited at first, and hurried into the pit to have a look. The key point is that this game is free, and there is no prostitution or prostitution.

In the end, I only played for a while, and I was very disappointed. It turns out that these NPCs can't be used by me, so what do I play this game for?

upgrade?Spawn monsters?Then why not play "Kings"!

Basically, judging from the game research and feedback from the company's employees, the biggest problem of this game lies in this. The core gameplay is crooked, but people don't know it, and they are still complacent, really drunk.

After quickly abandoning the pit, Fang Jie called "Iron Man" to the office and arranged for the first phase of IDC data center servers to be stationed.

IDC service models are generally divided into two types.

One is to provide server leasing and a full set of network and operation and maintenance services. The other is that customers order servers at different prices that meet their needs from IDC, and then IDC is only responsible for providing network access and server operation and maintenance services.

The former has less financial pressure, but in the long run, the cost is higher. The latter has a large initial investment, but the overall cost is relatively lower, and it is more targeted. After all, different IT industries have different requirements for servers.

Fang Jie, who was not short of money, of course chose to order his own server and put it on the IDC.

In fact, it is not counted as a subscription. He is the main investor of IDC. He originally bought the server for rent, but now it is nothing more than calling it for his own use, with his left hand and his right hand.

The first batch of standard servers consisted of 200 units. Since many unnecessary accessories were removed, and they were integrated and modularized, they could be ordered directly from Lenovo in batches. With various supporting equipment, each server cost 2 yuan and occupied a small area. not big.

Speaking of Lenovo Group...

In the current PC business, Lenovo is the only one in China. There is nothing to say about product quality and service. For a long time in the future, all the brand machines of government enterprises and institutions will be purchased from him. It is the glory of the nation and the reputation Excellent, in the eyes of Chinese people, it is similar to the existence of Huawei in later generations.

As for why the word-of-mouth collapsed in later generations... This is a long story, so I don't need to mention it.

Anyway, Fang Jie had never bought a Lenovo brand computer in his previous life. He used it a few times in a public institution and knew that the performance was not good, not to mention expensive.

But now, Fang Jie has no choice. Unless he gets involved in the computer hardware industry himself, it will not be a matter of a while. It is not even a question of giving up eating because of choking, but the only choice at the moment.

After arranging the IDC matters, Li Qing, who was far away in South Korea, called "sympathy" according to the schedule, but after answering the call, she found that this time was really not a ward round, but that she really had something to consult.

Taihong's second shareholder, president Park Zhenrong, wanted to change the company's name to JYP Entertainment before the end of the year, so he asked Li Qing, the company's major shareholder, for approval.

After listening to Li Qing's statement, Fang Jie said straightforwardly: "Good thing, promise."

Although the launch of "Internet Three Kingdoms" was delayed, JYP was established a few months earlier, and the future history has begun to become somewhat magical.

While chatting, Xia Hao rushed into the office suddenly, and the first thing he said was: "Someone stole something in the Internet cafe, but he didn't catch him!"
