Chapter 27 - The Scourge of Plug-Ins and Cheats (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Zhi was a little annoyed these two days.

Jumping the Line of Fire had been publicly beta-tested for more than half a month. Not only did he have to introduce a variety of measures to prevent the impact of other companies launching new games that imitated Jumping the Line of Fire, but even their game itself also had many problems after more than half a month.

The biggest problem was the impact of plug-ins, which were essentially cheats.

On the second day after Jumping the Line of Fire went online, there were already plug-ins on the market. Now that half a month had passed, there were more than ten pages of Jumping the Line of Fire cheats on the internet.

They were all free!

Although this could also help promote Jumping the Line of Fire, in the long run, it would be double destruction for both the game and the players.

The game environment would not only become worse but some players who really wanted to play would also be driven away.

When a large number of players were driven away by the cheats, only the cheats would be left, and the healthy game environment would no longer exist.

Before long, Jumping the Line of Fire would be destroyed by itself.

Also, it was not so easy to defend!

Since ancient times, it was easy to attack and defend, and easy to destroy and build.

Moreover, the development time of Jumping the Line of Fire was only one month. In this aspect, it was innately inadequate, just like a city. The city walls were all made of earth, so there were naturally many loopholes.

During this period of time, under Xu Zhi’s instructions, the company’s technical personnel had also sealed some of the plug-ins. However, they suppressed the calabash and raised the ladle. After sealing one, ten more were raised, or even more.

As a profitable venture, the plug-ins attracted a large group of people to invest in them.

There were even people who started selling plug-ins on forums for Jumping the Line of Fire.

Recently, there were more and more voices about the hope for official anti-plug-ins in various large forums.

The newly established customer service department had recently received eight or ten feedback calls regarding plug-ins.

Xu Zhi saw it, but he did not have a good idea for the time being.

His experience in his previous life was not 100% universal on Bluestar. Different conditions meant that he had to do different things.

In his previous life, he was in Tengda company, which was a top internet company. The number of employees in the company alone was close to 100,000. There was no lack of talent.

In the face of the plug-in, although it could not be completely cut off, it could be controlled to a very small proportion, such as 5/1000, or even smaller. The impact of the plug-in on the game would not be so great.

However, in Dream Game Company, although it had already experienced a small expansion, there were only around 200 people other than the customer service department. It was really difficult to get these people to go against hackers.

Xu Zhi wanted to set up a special anti-hacking department, but this was different from the recruitment of customer service. It was really difficult to recruit high-end talents. The recruitment had been going on for almost a week, but they were all small fries and could not carry the banner of the department.

It was too late for Xu Zhi to spend time training them.

When Qin Zishu was around, although Saber 777 and Ghost’s Dream also had cheats, these two games were different from Dream Game Company. Their cheats did not have much lethality.

Realistic games were not that popular, and they did not attract too much attention from cheats.

Jumping the Line of Fire’s sudden appearance brought an unprecedented opportunity to Dream Game Company, as well as an unprecedented challenge.

Xu Zhi knew that the anti-cheat issue could not be delayed any longer.

Dong, dong!

There was a knock on the door.

“President Xu, here is a copy of the mid-autumn Festival Employees’ Welfare Plan. Please take a look.”

His thoughts were interrupted. Xu Zhi smiled and took the plan from the director of personnel. After reading through it and signing, it was already noon.

He planned to go down for lunch first.

In the restaurant, Xu Zhi was chewing on a chicken drumstick while looking at the table.
