Chapter 88: Player Forum (2/2)
But with reference to this new and improved technique, he could save himself quite a bit of divine power. He didn’t want to think about other details, but at least the power he currently had was definitely enough, Xi Wei felt a new thought emerge in his spherical head (Body? Who knows).
“Should I create a public chat, and then subsequent clan chats, team chats, and private chats? No, it’ll be fine right now with not that many players, but once more and more players join, the public chat will be constantly updating and a lot of important messages might get missed. But if there isn’t a public chat, socializing among players will become quite limited…”
After some deep thought, Xi Wei decided to create a player communication platform in a forum style.
To build a forum, he would first need a server.
Xi Wei’s gaze fell on the hardworking Pantheon Computer XP, a smirk crossed his spherical face, ‘I choose you, XP!’
Thus, Xi Wei added even more functions to the diligent little XP.
Since there weren’t too many players currently, the little computer should be able to handle it, after the number of active players increases, our XP would surely have upgraded to a Sunway Taihulight1.
After finishing up, Xi Wei typed out a system message to alert all players.
[Ding! Game System V 0.21 has been fully upgraded, the ‘Player Forum’ page has been added, now you can discuss anything you want there]
As the Forum Page had only just been opened, its contents were still completely empty, only having Xi Wei’s introduction to the page showing on the top.
In the message, he briefly described what the forum was, what functions it had, and also listed the rules of the forum, banning certain inappropriate behavior and writing out the corresponding punishments.
Originally Xi Wei had thought that with how rowdy his believers were, all he had to do was wait a couple of minutes before the forum became filled with random, weird, and funny posts.
But Xi Wei waited over an hour and the only message in the forum was his, sitting all alone at the top.
After another hour, a new post finally appeared, the poster was Warrior Princess Leah. She pretty much just sung praise for the ‘God of Games’ in her post, with many players following her lead in the comments, even Xi Wei was cringing at their obviously faked enthusiasm.
The situation weirded Xi Wei out, since when did his group of players become so civilized?
But he quickly figured out the cause.
As the moderator of the forum, Xi Wei used very “official” language in his introductory post, plus a lot of the rules he set had the unmistakable underlying tone of “I’m your father”, players had most likely guessed that the creator of the forum was the one and only deity himself.
No matter how rowdy they were, they were still first and foremost believers of Xi Wei. Since they were given this system, they obviously had a decent amount of respect and admiration towards Xi Wei as a deity, they couldn’t just show their roughest sides to the deity right away.
That’s why Leah, the only person who had come face-to-face with the deity, could muster up the strength to post about how amazing Xi Wei was…
“Do you guys really think I don’t know how you are usually…?” Xi Wei couldn’t help but diss his little believers.
But he wasn’t worried that the forum would continue being as quiet as it was, as long as he didn’t speak and break his cover, most players would naturally relax in the forum and start showing their true colors.
Just as Xi Wei was thinking this, a new post suddenly appeared in the forum.
