Chapter 152 - Boss Pei Cuts Off an Infected Limb to Save the Entire Body (1/2)

Wang Xiaobin paused. “Open the new server?”

It was not troublesome to do that, but the only problem was there might not be any gamers in it. Bloody Battle Song was already steadily deteriorating. They had no money to publicize or market it, and there were no ratings for the game as well. No new gamers were logging in.

The people still playing the game were old gamers who had stuck with the game from the very beginning. They could be said to be fiercely loyal; nothing could drive them away.

All of these people had accounts on the old servers. They had already spent huge amounts of money and time on those accounts. Even if they opened the new server, who would play on it?

Still, Wang Xiaobin held up an okay-sign with his hand and said, “No problem. It’ll be ready soon.”

The game was going to fail sooner or later; whether they opened the new server or not, it would not make a difference.

Ye Zhizhou immediately created an alternate account in the new server and quietly waited.

A few minutes later, the world channel in the new server became lively!

“They’ve really opened a new server!”

“Ah, ah, ah! I’m so sad that I did not get the couch!”

“Are there any guilds?”

“Comrades, look here! Our guild is developing harmoniously. We’re banding together and being led by whales. There is no battle we cannot win! We’re going to specially offer help to grandfathers and grandmothers prone to falling down. We welcome you to join us so that we can help more grandmothers cross roads!”

“The previous commenter, you’ve just copied and pasted the advertisement, haven’t you? There are no more whales now; how can they lead the guild?”

“How are there no more whales? Our guild’s whales have spoken; whoever joins our guild will get the maximum number of strength potions every day!”

“Holy sh*t! Quickly add me!”

More world channels were being added, one by one. Ye Zhizhou could not keep up with the various channels.

“Our game… still has so many players?”

Ye Zhizhou was stunned. He only opened this new server to test waters after seeing a good number of people request for it in the previous channel. He did not expect that so many people would hop over to the new server to play the game!

What were they after? Did they want to abandon their old accounts?

Ye Zhizhou felt like everything was strange. He had not seen such passion for their game in a long time. Bloody Battle Song always opened new servers before this. After all, constantly opening new servers was a common marketing method for games with paywalls.

Yet, they had never seen a reaction as lively as what they were seeing today!

As Ye Zhizhou trained, he considered looking for a guild to hide in and spy. He wanted to ask the players for their opinions on the new game.

In the end, after playing for a while, his game got jammed. On the screen, the words ‘reading resources’ appeared. The image became a mosaic as well. However, this soon passed. The game quickly became smooth again.

Ye Zhizhou was just about to ask what just happened when he heard Wang Xiaobin shout, “Holy sh*t, there were too many gamers just then. Our server was overloaded. The new server is full?”

Ye Zhizhou quickly opened the platform to check.

The old servers that they had been maintaining were emptying out. There was practically nobody left. The new server, on the other hand, was so popular that it was exploding at that moment. It was overflowing!

New players could no longer enter the server. They had no choice but to wait outside.

Ye Zhizhou was shocked. Ever since he started at Shang Yang Games, he had not seen people queuing outside the server! Now, he finally understood that the players crowding in the new server were those from old servers!

The players had been distributed over tens of different servers before this. That was why each server looked empty and quiet.

However, now, the active players were all rushing into the new server at the same time. They were crowding together and making the entire game seem much livelier.

Ye Zhizhou quickly said, “Brother Wang, quick, open another server!”

Wang Xiaobin’s mouse was moving at top speed. “I’ll get it done at once. Once the newest servers are full, the system would automatically open a new one.”

Lowering his voice, he mumbled to himself, “How strange. Gamers are becoming so excited about the new servers? Have the changes we made really taken effect? The results were instant.”

Everyone in the design team was getting excited. Many people had not played Bloody Battle Song in a long time. At that moment, they created an alternate account for the first time.

“Go to different servers and observe the situation in each one of them. It’ll be best if you could join a big guild and join their conversations. See how the whales and ordinary gamers are reacting to the changes we made to the game!”

Ye Zhizhou was extremely excited. He quickly gave each person in the design team tasks to hide in the new servers and observe how gamers were reacting to the new version of the game!

When Old Liu was still the chief planner, he never did things like this. That was because he had never seen the meaning behind it.

It was enough to keep an eye on the statistics of the games. What was the point in hiding among gamers and gathering feedback?
