Chapter 1231 (1/2)
At 8:00 a.m. Los Angeles time on May 5, Warcraft, which attracted tens of millions of players, was finally launched on major game distribution websites.
Because the first 100000 people download games for free, it's not time for millions of players around the world to wait in front of their computers.
Near eight o'clock, experienced players are constantly clicking the download button on the web page.
In the past, many game companies were worried that the server could not bear the rush of downloads, so they released them three or five minutes in advance.
However, the storm game company's ”Warcraft” did not do so, because their server is Xiao Yunhai spent tens of millions of dollars to buy, the capacity is frightening, can accommodate 100 million people online at the same time, if you open the standby server, even if it is 200 million people, there will be no problem, so there will be no jam.
The data room of storm game company
Xiao Yunhai and the people from the game company sat here, waiting for the results.
Originally Raul, Kristi and others also wanted to come over, but Xiao Yunhai stopped them to go back and let them do their own work well without having to deal with the game.
Maybe the war is coming. The atmosphere in the room is a little heavy and depressing. Xiao Yunhai looked around for a week, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, ”don't be too nervous. What has the final say, what we can do, we have already done, and the rest is not what we can control, but the game player. No matter how the final result of ”Warcraft” is, in my heart, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Believe in yourself, ”Warcraft” will work
Although Xiao Yunhai's words are very provocative, but everyone's heart is still not a bit relaxed, speaking of some absent-minded, eyes are staring at the computer screen.
Xiao Yunhai gave a bitter smile and shrugged his shoulders.
At eight o'clock sharp, ”Warcraft” finally went online and had a strong momentum at the beginning.
In less than three minutes, the number of downloads has exceeded one million, and it is still growing exponentially.
1.2 million
1.5 million
2 million
...
3.2 million
4.6 million
5.8 million
...
crazy, Warcraft is completely crazy.
In just 15 minutes, the download volume of Warcraft broke through 6 million, more than 90% of online games.
”Haha, I've got a free download of Warcraft, and there's still three free days. It's great.”
”My God, it's too fast. As soon as I arrived at 8:00, I pressed the download button. I didn't realize that I still ranked after 200000. This is crazy. ”
”I'm so fucked up. The speed of the computer was so slow that I was ranked no more than three million and had to buy it in full. In other words, don't everyone go to work at this time? ”
Many players in the download of ”Warcraft”, and not in a hurry to play, but in the forum launched a post.
Looking at the crazy growth of the number there, the entire data room is in a jubilation.
”Yes, we did.”
”6.3 million downloads in 15 minutes, the first time in game history.”
”It's great. Our efforts didn't go in vain.”
The crowd clapped their hands and were excited.
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said in a loud voice, ”everybody, it seems that it's early to be happy now.”
Hearing what the boss said, everyone stopped celebrating and looked at him.
”The reason why we achieved such results in the early stage is not because of how good our games are, but because of our publicity. That is to say, players actually use the mentality of picking up the cheap to download. What really plays a key role is the word-of-mouth of the game and the number of people playing the game online, so we'd better not be too happy. ”
Shermo nodded and said,” the boss is right. We just lost our temper. ”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”this is normal. Seeing more than six million downloads in more than ten minutes, anyone will be excited, let alone you designers. ”
