20 years of restarting life

At nine o'clock in the morning on January 2, Zhao Changan received the thirty-hour data of Miracle Mu's public beta.

That is, the whole day on the 1st plus the period from early morning to 2 am on the [-]nd.

A total of 28163 public beta accounts and activation codes have been issued. A total of 18 players have logged in to activate, 11374 people have been online for 6 hours or more, 23417 people have been online for more than 3 hours, and 25136 people have been online for more than [-] hours.

Especially the number of people online for more than 3 hours can basically reflect the true stickiness of this game, which is nearly 90%.

Of course, this is a public beta, and when it comes to actual charging operations, this value will definitely be much lower than this, but it is obviously a good start right now.

So far, there have been very few player feedback issues. After review by the Miracle MU technical team, they have all ruled out the cause of game bugs, either lagging, player misjudgment, or unfamiliarity with the game's settings.

This is much lower than when Legend first started its open beta, because almost all players were involved in MMORPG games for the first time, and many regarded normal settings as game bug feedback, which made Park Guanhao's team very busy and extremely irritable. .

Zhao Changan thought for a while and replied to Ye Zi with three words: "Great!" and closed the email page.

Compared to Ye Zi's complacency and ambition to compete with Legend, Zhao Changan was very dissatisfied.

Because Miracle mu3D engine mmorpg online games, not to mention domestically, even in economically developed countries internationally, are a bit ahead of their time.

You must know that for a thing, the better is not the better, but the more suitable is the better.

This can be seen in the Southeast Asian market more than ten years later. At that time, most of the mobile phones used by young people in Southeast Asia were smartphones of average quality, which simply could not run the mmorpg network, which had too high hardware requirements. game.

Coupled with the poor and expensive local wireless signals and traffic billing, those high-quality and latest games running in areas with developed networks and strong economies such as Europe, the United States and China have no market at all in Southeast Asia. Instead, they are cheap. MMORPG online games with rough graphics and low traffic requirements are popular there and have become the mainstream of MMORPG online games.

This phenomenon is also very prominent in China, which is currently in the early stages of economic take-off.

The basic memory configuration requirement for Miracle Mu is 512M, while Legend and Millennium require 128M. This alone will jam up [-] to [-]% of current domestic computers.

At present, domestic Internet cafes rarely use computers with less than 128m, because it can be expanded with dual 64m. Some of them are backward and outdated small Internet cafes in remote areas, using dual 32 or single-chip 64.

Because there is no strict admission approval system for Internet cafes in China, business licenses can usually be issued quickly as long as you apply. Therefore, the number of domestic Internet cafes is showing a spurt of rapid growth. By the end of the Gregorian calendar year that just passed, The number of licensed Internet cafes has exceeded 384, and the total number of computers has reached [-] million.

In other words, Internet cafe licenses are worthless. These small Internet cafes with configurations lower than 128m are on the line of survival. Internet cafe owners have no intention of upgrading the host performance and may close their doors and change careers at any time.

And those old Internet cafes with 256m or 128m, also because of the number of new Internet cafes that have sprung up like bamboo shoots, have no motivation to upgrade computer performance, because even if they use expensive dual 256 to expand the computer memory to 512m, they can In two years, with the increase in computing power, 512m will still become outdated.

目前最多也就是拿两个64m扩容到128m，或者使用单片128m，再或者128m卡双槽成256m凑合。

Therefore, the memory configuration in an Internet cafe can be as luxurious as 512M. Either it is a new Internet cafe, or the Internet cafe is in a good location and is very profitable. The method is to use two 256M chips to expand the capacity.

Among the current 384 million Internet cafe computers, Zhao Changan estimates that there are no more than 512 million computers with 100 memory, or even lower.Because even now, the mainstream memory configuration of domestic computers is still 128m, or the rich ones have dual card slots plus two 128 memory of 256m. There are few people with forward-looking vision who buy expensive single-chip 256m, or those with deep pockets. 2×256 in place at once.

The current number of home computers with Internet access is 1097 million, office computers with Internet access are 800 million, and schools have 450 million. Basically, more than 90% of them have 32, 64, 128, dual-chip or single-chip 256 configurations. , Miracle mu cannot run at all.

Calculated this way, excluding computers in offices and schools, there are no more than 200 million domestic computers that can run the Miracle Mu game online.

This quantity limit indicates that Miracle Mu will have limited domestic market capacity for at least the next two years and will be far from able to outperform Legend.

Ye Zi's ambition is destined to be a dream.

To put it cruelly, only after that incident happened, the country began to strictly reduce the number of approvals for new Internet cafes, and strictly inspected the fire protection of Internet cafes and the Internet access of minors. Internet cafe licenses became in demand, and just a third-tier city's Internet cafe license The transfer fee is two to three hundred thousand, which is even more valuable than the computers in Internet cafes.

Domestic Internet cafes are really on the rise, and Internet cafe owners have endless motivation to constantly update the computer configurations in Internet cafes to cater to the market and Internet users.

This point is rather strange, just like the price limit on taxi licenses and houses. No matter how low the price is, the price becomes very high once it is issued, and the supply exceeds the demand and is very popular.

Of course Zhao Changan remembered the name of Blue Speed ​​Internet Cafe, but he didn't know if this computer would still appear with the butterfly wings he fanned in this life, and even if it did, whether the tragedy would still happen.

Because so far, there is no Internet cafe with this name in Yanjing.

However, as long as the name of this Internet cafe appears, he will try to continuously report it and make it regular.

Of course, this can only prevent this incident from happening. However, by next year, the number of Internet cafes in the country will be close to [-]. Driven by profits, who dares to say that something like this will not happen.

The best way that Zhao Changan has thought of so far is to conduct a large-scale formal survey in the offline trading halls and Internet cafes affiliated with the mmorpg online game virtual props trading center jointly controlled by Cretaceous and Zhuo Zi, and compile it into one piece of data document and then send this document to the competent authority.

Report the current chaos in the Internet cafe industry, require strict inspection of Internet cafes’ fire protection and minors’ access to the Internet, control the number of Internet cafes, and implement a strict new access system.

If the virtual game trading center does this, it will definitely be cursed by many people who want to open Internet cafes, and it will also affect the interests of those Internet cafes to a great extent.

Because it is undeniable that just like those minors who like to play games 20 years later will find ways to play mobile games, now a large proportion of minors go online in Internet cafes.

That's why Zhao Changan suggested a strict review and access system, which is to eliminate potential competitors for existing Internet cafes and ensure that they have no shortage of customers, so that they have the motivation to continuously and proactively upgrade the hardware configuration of Internet cafes. .

It is commonly known as a slap in the face and a sweet date.

After reading the data email from Miracle Mu, Zhao Changan opened the email from the mobile phone manufacturer with a little excitement and anxiety.
