Chapter 592 The North American Platform Launches

Chapter 592 The North American Platform Launches
After a few days of exams, Yu Wenfei felt that he was okay, not to mention top-notch grades, but he still couldn't get away with being excellent.

I just finished my school work, and when I got back to the science and technology park, I received a message from Facebook Game North America Company that the Facebook game is going to be launched in North America!
After nearly two months of hard work day and night, the domestic technicians in the past cooperated with the technicians of the North American company, and finally completed the localized transplantation of Facebook Battle.net, and the software can be launched.

The North American version of the Facebook game is different from the domestic Battle.net because it integrates the domestic Facebook Battle.net, Facebook Chess, Valve’s STEAM platform and Blizzard’s Battle.net!Moreover, the North American version of the platform also has a built-in player communication area, where players can comment, score, and give feedback on each game sold on the platform.

Of course, only Blizzard and Valve's games have just been launched for sale, but Bryan is taking the time to contact some large game companies recently, and more stand-alone masterpieces will be launched on the platform for sale in the future.

It can be said that this is a master, including chess and card game battle, stand-alone game battle, game sales, player communication platform and other functions.

This is also the result of repeated consideration and research by the leadership of North American companies.

Originally, it was necessary to separate Facebook Battle.net from Facebook Chess and Game Store, but after discussion, everyone agreed that it is better to integrate all functions into one software. In this case, whether it is promotion or user attraction , are doubled.

Moreover, several major functions are integrated in one platform, which is also convenient for diversion between each other.

Therefore, when the final version of the platform was launched, it became such a version, and it was officially named "Facebook Game Platform".

Effie has also considered whether to integrate the two major domestic platforms in the future, which will also facilitate management and promotion.

…………

On July [-]th, in the North American branch of Facebook Games, the atmosphere was very tense, and everyone was busy, doing the final preparations before the platform went live.

"It will go live on time at [-]:[-] noon, are you ready?" Effie also sits in the technical department in person, keeping an eye on the progress of the work.

"No problem, we have tested many times internally, and the software already has a good foundation. The only thing that is not sure is the game download speed. If too many users download the game at the same time when the game is selling well, There may be a problem of slow internet speed." The manager of the technical department said with a frown.

The main reason why no one tried to sell games on the Internet before is that the development of the Internet has not kept up and the speed of the Internet is too slow.

As for payment, although online banking is not popular yet, you can sell point cards. At that stage, online games were charged by selling point cards, so this was not a problem.

The North American version of the Facebook game platform is not completely free, it comes with a complete payment system just after it was born!

Users can recharge on the platform by purchasing Facebook game point cards, and these point cards can be bought in major supermarket chains.

After buying the point card, you can recharge it on the Facebook game platform, and then the corresponding amount will appear in your account balance.

The balance on the account can be sold on the Facebook game platform. At present, it is mainly used to buy genuine games, and then download them directly through the platform.

As for the stand-alone game battle, it is still provided free of charge. There are no online games on the platform at present. When there are online games in the future, the account balance can also be recharged for online games.

Generally speaking, the goal is to build the Facebook game platform into a comprehensive platform. In the future, players only need to keep such a software on their computers, and they can play all stand-alone masterpieces and online games!

The Facebook game platform will also become the launcher and sales center for all games!

The ambition is not small. Of course, Facebook also has enough confidence and strength to support this ambition.

…………

"It shouldn't matter. This platform is designed according to my BitTorrent download agreement. In theory, the more players download the game, the faster the download speed will be! Because every player's computer will temporarily become our download site." A transfer station." Bram Cohen said confidently.

The father of BT downloading, but Yu Wenfei personally acted at the beginning, and dug it from Valverde to be responsible for the underlying protocol architecture of the platform. The picture is his original BT downloading protocol.

But in the end how effective it is depends on the actual performance after going online.

Although Effie was also a little nervous, she still had to act nonchalant on the surface. After all, she was the boss of the company, and everyone in the company was watching her.

"Our preparations have been done to the best. We have rented more than 20 computer rooms in North America and Europe. If this doesn't work, it can only show that our platform is too popular." Effie joked road.

This is the advantage of establishing a branch in North America. There is no separation between Europe and the United States. You only need to set up a company in North America and register a few subsidiaries in Europe, and you can almost serve consumers all over the world, except for mainland China.

Time is tight, and it is not realistic to build our own data center immediately, so we temporarily rented some computer rooms, but these are for transitional use, and our own data center is also under intense preparation.

It can be said that for the smooth launch of the platform, the company spared no expense.

…………

The launch of the Facebook game platform started a large-scale promotion as early as a few days ago.

Basically, all the game magazines on the market and all the game-related websites on the Internet can see advertisements about the Facebook game platform.

"The future has come, giving you an unprecedented gaming experience! On July [-]th, the Facebook game platform is officially launched!"

This slogan has long been known on the Internet.

In fact, many European and American CS players are no strangers to Facebook Battle.net. Veteran CS players like Alan have long been staring at high latency and logged in to the mainland Battle.net platform to compete in ranks.

Of course, more players have only heard of the big names of Facebook Battle.net, but because they really do not know Chinese characters, they cannot experience the fun of Facebook Battle.net like Alan.

However, almost all European and American players have long been looking forward to the launch of Facebook Battle.net in North America. Since the establishment of the North American branch of Facebook Games, many people have been paying attention.

After waiting for nearly two months, the platform finally came online.

"Wow, is Facebook Battle.net coming? Today at twelve o'clock at noon? I must register an account as soon as possible, and I must be the first to rush to that KING rank! Haha, it's very cool to think about it, my skill of sniping It will let players all over the world see what it means to be a peerless master!"

"I heard that you can't form a team on Battle.net. It's a pity that we can't form a team together to fight against each other. We can only rise up the ranking by fighting alone."

"Who is the best shooter in the world, we will see in a week! Why is it only eleven o'clock in the morning, and there is still an hour to play, I can't wait!"

On the day of launch, I deliberately chose Saturday, when all high school and college students rest.

Therefore, when the Facebook game platform announced the launch time, there were already countless players waiting in front of the computer, waiting for the platform to go online.

As for the software download, it has been opened three days in advance, and the account can also be registered, but the platform cannot be logged in yet.

This is also to avoid too many players at the same time, what to do if the platform is crowded and crashed, so we provide advance download and registration to divert.

…………

At twelve noon, the Facebook gaming platform was officially launched.

Countless players logged in immediately, and the UI design of this version of the platform is naturally different from that of the domestic Battle.net platform.

The main page of the platform is divided into left and right parts. The left part accounts for about one-fifth of the overall page area. The upper left corner is the user avatar and information, and the lower left part is your game list.In the list, you can put all the games you like here, and you can click to log in directly from here in the future, which is very convenient.

As for the part on the right that occupies four-fifths of the entire page, it is divided into three major columns, which can be switched through the eye-catching buttons above.

"Game Store", where you can purchase genuine games.

"Game Battle", here is actually the content of Battle.net, which provides various stand-alone game battle services, and this is the CS ranking that players are most looking forward to.

"Chess and board games", this is the content of Facebook chess and cards, but the specific content is different from that in China. Naturally, mahjong, chess, go and the like are gone, and bridge, chess, Texas Hold'em, etc. are replaced.

"How is the situation? Is the bandwidth enough? How many users are there now?" Effie asked three questions in a row. At this time, the platform had just been launched for about half an hour.

The manager of the technical department looked at the data curve on the computer in front of him, and returned without turning his head: "Everything is normal! There are not many users who buy and download games, so the bandwidth usage is not too large, and the BT download protocol is really effective. , saving a lot of bandwidth. The number of users... Now there are more than 130 users logging into the platform, and it is still growing rapidly! My God! There must be too many people.”

The manager of the technical department exclaimed, and many employees in the office area also heard the numbers he said and cheered.

Several big men covered in hair jumped up and hugged each other, weeping with joy, "We succeeded! My God, I really can't believe that the users are so enthusiastic."

Only Effie was a little confused, and asked stupidly, "Is 100 million a lot?"

The manager of the technical department looked at her in disbelief and asked, "This is 100 million! It's not one hundred, not ten thousand! Is there any platform that can have so many users as soon as it goes online? We have created a miracle. Do you know that this It's a miracle on the internet!"

Well, Effie finally understood, she was measured by the data of the domestic Facebook battle network.
