Chapter 49 Historical changes
On September 26, 2000, “The Legend of God” ushered in a new major update. In this update, the game forum was upgraded, and more importantly, the game portal was officially launched.
In order to keep the name of the product line consistent, Dafeng Tech’s game portal is called Dafeng Games.
The game portal was promoted in the game and on Fengxin at the same time, attracting a large amount of traffic in one morning.
Compared with the simple one-page sorting of the forums in the game before, the partitions on the portal allow everyone to publish and find topics and content of their own interest.
On the homepage of the website, the upper left corner is the game center, the middle is industry news and recommended articles, and the right is the login entrance.
is divided into five major sections: new travel express, game topics, game evaluation, game forum and game mall.
is the game category at the bottom.
Many people who entered the Gale game had the same first reaction. They originally thought this was the exclusive website of “The Legend of God”, but only after they came in, they realized that it was wrong. This is a game portal that encompasses all games.
After entering the game forum, you can select the corresponding game and then link to the independent forum link, and according to the different characteristics of the game, the things in the corresponding independent forum will be a little different, such as “God’s Biography” online games, everyone is more concerned about upgrading Brushing this equipment and these things, like “The Legend of Sword and Fairy”, pay more attention to things like strategy and plot.
And because “The Legend of God” itself has social functions, naturally there will be an additional section for players to display and interact with players.
Although in all sub-categories, “The Legend of God” will be ranked first, but in general, the entire Gale game is relatively fair and objective. In addition to the position of “The Legend of God”, it ranks a bit better, and there is nothing right. “God’s Biography” does any promotion, let alone stepping on other games.
What’s more, “The Legend of God” is indeed very popular now, so there is nothing wrong with the row itself.
In addition, when everyone registered, they found a very interesting setting, that is, the points system. The website encourages everyone to post more posts and comments. There will be different points rewards according to the quality of the posts, the degree of attention, the number of views and other data.
points can be used to upgrade, according to different points set into four levels, namely ordinary players, skilled players, senior players and ashes players.
Each level will have certain privileges and benefits. For example, after reaching a senior player, you can apply to become a professional evaluator, go to the game evaluation section to be an evaluator, and the evaluator can make money directly by posting.
Hardcore players can apply for moderators, experienced players can apply for deputy moderators, and skilled players can apply for forum leader. In the entire forum design, it is obvious that we are deliberately promoting interaction and communication, including group building, and the way of communication In addition to the forum itself, it is more convenient to use hyacinth.
The Dafeng Game Forum has been connected with Fengxin. You can register for wind signals in the forum or bind existing wind signals. You can easily communicate with each other by adding wind signals.
In addition, the official will launch some activities from time to time, which naturally requires users to join the Fengxin group.
Another function of points is to redeem products in the mall. Now the products in the mall include “God’s Biography” point cards, genuine game discs, some peripherals, and point draws.
However, there are various restrictions on the acquisition of points. For example, if you scan the screen maliciously, you will delete posts and deduct points. Try to ensure a good website environment.
This is a relatively sound scoring mechanism in the eyes of netizens in 2000.
One day when the website went online, more than 1,000 people left posts on Dafeng Game. Fortunately, in the Internet environment in 2000, there were no tea sellers, no stock speculators, and no **** dealers to issue licenses online, which made the company’s audit less tiring.
However, Meng Qian still made a sensitive vocabulary and designed a relatively simple review algorithm. For vulgar things, it is difficult to achieve a comprehensive review, but for some content that may trigger crimes, we must focus on them.
At the same time, under the efforts of Sun Xiaojing, Dafeng Technology has finally formally established a review department. The posts in the previous game were reviewed by employees of the operation department taking turns to work part-time. Now it finally relieves them of the burden.
On September 29, 2000, Meng Qian just looked through the latest data report. In the past few days, the registered users and posting users of Dafeng Games have risen sharply, but the increase in the number of Fengxin users is not surprising.
I think the users who come to Gale Games these days are all attracted from the game, and those players have wind signals.
Turned the phone, Meng Qian was considering whether to call Zhang Shuxin.
At this moment, Li Feiqing from the Fengxin Group of the company’s technology department posted a link and then another four words: competitor.
Meng Qian immediately put down his phone and opened Li Feiqing’s website.
This is a link to a Maopu post. The title is: “The latest news, The Legend of Mir 2 will definitely enter China next month.”
“What is this?”
Meng Qian didn’t figure out the situation a bit at first, but he just glanced at the main text and he was refreshed.
TheLegendofMir2, translation: “Legend 2”.
Meng Qian first read the article, and then immediately called Li Feiqing into the office. Li Feiqing is the person who loves playing games most in the company and has the deepest knowledge of the industry.
Through the article and Li Feiqing’s narration, Meng Qian finally got things right.
TheLegendofMir2, also known as “Legend 2”, is a game developed by Korea Wemade Entertainment Co., Ltd., but TheLegendofMir, which is “Legend 1”, is not developed by Wemade, but by another Korean company called Actoz.
The relationship between the two is simply a cooperative relationship. “Legend 2” should be regarded as a cooperative development in essence, but now the media in Korea is more inclined to say that it was developed by wemade. The specific situation is not clear. After all, it is different. State-owned enterprises.
Judging from the timeline, Shanda’s agent should have been “Legend 2” instead of “Legend 1”, but Shanda named the name “Legend of Warm Blood”. Everyone is used to calling it “Legend”. Most people probably don’t know Goryeo. The development of “Legend” in China.
Meng Qian didn’t know anyway.
And the time before the grand launch of “Legend”, after rebirth, Meng Qian probably remembered that it should be 2001 or 2002, because he played Legendary early, and he was already a junior at that time.
It is only 2000, and Meng Qian judged that this “Legend” should have entered China in advance, and another thing that Li Feiqing and the Internet said is also corroborative, that is, “Legend 2” originally declared that the first external market will be placed Europe, but now it is put in China.
As for the reason, maybe it has something to do with “The Legend of God”?
But Meng Qian doesn’t want to go deep on this matter now, because he cares more about another thing, that is, the agent of “Legend 2”, not Shanda!
The early entry of “Legend 2” makes the agents different from the original historical trend, and now the official agent of “Legend 2” is: Ogilvy Electronics!
The name of Ogilvy Electronics may not have been heard even after 90s, but if Meng Qian’s generation has been obsessed with games for a period of time, they will know it, because Ogilvy Electronics is the era of Blizzard. With Xueleshan’s Huaxia agent!
“Warcraft”, “StarCraft”, “CS”, all his.
His position in the game industry in this era can be imagined.
It’s only a pity that Ogilvy Electronics’ good hands were so sparsely played. Internal corruption and online game operation strategy errors caused him to go bankrupt in 2005.
Various news on the Internet at that time Meng Qian still has impressions.
Regarding the cause of Ogilvy’s collapse, the media had a close-up feature in those days. Meng Qian remembered it clearly. One was because of the serious internal corruption and management chaos within the company.
Second, they wanted to represent “World of Warcraft”, but Blizzard required agents to have experience in large-scale online game agency, so Ogilvy Electronics first represented a few online games. As a result, they spent money in the publicity stage and smashed themselves. The game was unexpected. Can’t even go online.
There is another saying that Ogilvy Electronics did not manage the distribution rights of its own agent games at the time, and Haofang was the first to make a competitive platform instead.
“Unexpectedly, “Legend” actually chose Ogilvy Electronics.” Meng Qian subconsciously touched his chin, and after a long time he suddenly smiled ghostly, “The problems they had in the previous life still exist in this life, especially internally. The issue of corruption, anyway, it closed down in the previous life, so it’s better to take advantage of me in this life…”
If given the opportunity, Meng Qian is very interested in Ogilvy Electronics, not to mention his current status and earning power in the gaming industry. Ogilvy Electronics is a pioneer in China’s e-sports. There is a dedicated e-sports department at Ogilvy. People are a great wealth…
