Rewrite the Technological Landscape

At the beginning of February, after two months of development, the players of "Ancient Mythology" and "World of Warcraft" began to enter a stable growth and distribution.

Michael has applied for operating funds for the third time. However, under Sony's acquisition intention, Renault does not want to spend a penny. He can disband Sierra, sell 80% of Universal's shares, and naturally sell Blizzard.

Judging from various sources, Renault really doesn't like his predecessor's investment in the entertainment industry. If it weren't for Blizzard's success in the Warcraft series, it is estimated that Blizzard in that life would have been abandoned by him long ago.

And the situation in this life is that under the impact of the Gale Group, Blizzard is obviously not as good as the previous life, especially the current performance of "World of Warcraft", which is much worse than the previous life.

On the contrary, Dafeng Group's layout ability in the game industry has been reflected, and now it costs a lot of money to pull "World of Warcraft", Renault is naturally unhappy.

After all, after seeing the ending of Xuele Mountain, Michael and others had already guessed the attitude of the new CEO. When the third application was rejected, the three founders had a small meeting.

"I think we can give up the idea of ​​company blood transfusion." Michael said the common thoughts in everyone's mind.

Alan and Frank looked at each other, and Alan made a calm expression, "At least we still have the right to operate independently. The company is now deeply in debt crisis, and the situation is more complicated. After we get through it, I think it will be the same for our department. There is more support."

"During this time, let's focus on the game itself." Frank expressed his attitude that there is no need to continue to apply for company support. "Players have given a lot of feedback in the past two months, and we need some modifications."

"That's right, let's make the game better now. Although the number of players of "Ancient Mythology" has increased rapidly, they are mainly concentrated in Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia. The impact on our Omi side is relatively small. "Alan answered.

"The game environment on our side has been precipitated over decades. Neon Guoxue has been studying for ten years and has not been able to truly understand the game culture on our side. This kind of game culture barrier cannot be broken by the Dafeng Group in a few years. .” When Frank talked about this, he seemed to have found confidence, “As long as we can manage the Omi market well, we will always find opportunities to fight back.”

"Michael, what's the matter with you?" Alan and Frank chatted for a long time and saw that Michael didn't answer, and turned his head to notice that his face was very ugly.

Michael put the mobile phone in front of Allen and Frank with a confused and uneasy expression, only to see someone sent Michael a message: Ken Williams officially joined the Gale Group.

Just when the two were also a little confused, another piece of news came: Dafeng Group had poached the employees of Xueleshan who had been disbanded from the company.

In fact, this news is not entirely accurate. As mentioned before, Dafeng Group is not only connecting with the Xueleshan team abandoned by Vivendi. In fact, the Xueleshan team does not have many old employees. Meng Qian He also dug up all the veterans of the Williams era.

Games are not considered high-tech in this era, so no one has a non-compete agreement, money plus the Williams effect, plus Dafeng Group’s promise to establish a US game center in a year, everyone only needs to be in Huaxia Stay for one to two years, then you can go back to the United States to work, and a bunch of people are just poached here.

On February 10, a piece of propaganda was circulated on the Omi Network: the return of the dream, the reunion of the country.

In 1991, Sierra developed an online service called the Sierra Network. It is on this platform that players can leave messages and communicate on the Xueleshan Network.

Later, Xueleshan gave this website a very dreamy name, called Dreamland. Williams has long personally left messages on Dreamland, and communicated with players through emails, creating a player paradise that belongs to Xueleshan.

But with Sierra being sold, Country of Dreams was sold to AT\u0026T in 1994.

Dreamland was sold by AT\u0026T to MOL in 1997, and later merged into MOL, so the name was no longer used, so Meng Qian had already found someone to go to the US to buy all the related trademarks.

When Williams found out about this, he was both surprised and warm, and couldn't help but thank Meng Qian.

At this time in the United States, and even the world, as long as users log in to Fengxin or Kyushu, they will see a brand new link icon, which is Dreamland.

After clicking in, it is a brand-new interactive platform for gamers, and the first speech above is from Williams.

"My friends, I'm Ken Williams. After years of traveling around the world with my wife, I finally found the real dream country. I'm here waiting for you."

"OMG, is this true? Our king is back?"

"Williams is back?! Sierra is back?! Dreamland is back?!"

"I slapped my girlfriend hard, yes, this is not a dream, friends, this is not a dream!"

"My friends, look at the announcement of Dafeng Group. They have bought all the game patents and game copyrights of the "King" series. Dafeng Group will continue the "King" series of games!"

""The King" is my belief. It is "The King" that brought me into the game world. Thanks to the Gale Group, this is really great!"

"It seems to go back to 10 years ago, do you still remember the words we left in the dreamland?"

"It's too dreamy, everything returns, everything starts again, isn't this the dream country we have been looking forward to!"

A message by Williams triggered tens of thousands of replies in just one hour, and Williams quickly used his Fengxin account to send a second message: Friends, let us rebuild the country!

Nostalgia has always been a terrible thing, people have a nostalgic nature, those past things are the most beautiful, and those years that cannot go back are the most precious.

In the early 21st century, when there were not many sentiments of the technology industry in China to sell, the United States, which developed decades earlier than us, was full of sentiments.

Our post-90s generation is a brain-dead generation, others' post-70s are already a brain-dead generation, and others' post-90s are already a destroyed generation.

The custom of the predecessors slandering the descendants is exactly the same all over the world.

The re-emergence of Williams and Xueleshan, and the re-launch of Dreamland immediately aroused the feelings of those born in the 70s and 80s.

Of course, in addition to feelings, the product must also be good. Purely selling feelings can only make a wave of quick money. Only good products and good feelings can produce the best results.

Fortunately, the quality of "Ancient Mythology" itself is not a problem. When more Omi people came into contact with "Ancient Mythology", they highly appreciated the quality and gameplay of the game itself, but as Alan and Frank said Yes, the main problem is cultural differences. Westerners do not accept Chinese style very well.

Cultural differences are a huge problem. So many companies in the West have stumbled in the East, and few companies from the East can enter the West because of cultural differences.

Therefore, another important help that the Williams team can bring to the Gale Group is the understanding of the Western market and Western players. They can bring more valuable suggestions to the Gale Group.

At the same time, the development ability of the Xueleshan team is also very resistant, which is a big blood transfusion of talents for Dafeng Group.

For the next period of time, Williams has been promoting the development of "Ancient Mythology" in Omi, and this development is very fast.

Of course, taking advantage of this momentum, Meng Qian must also increase his stakes. In the game update of "Ancient Mythology" in February, there is such a thing: In-game screen recording can be performed through the Kyushu platform.

Williams once again built Dreamland into a platform for gamers to communicate and communicate, but ten years ago, all you could do was leave a message.

But now, not only have people started to share pictures in large numbers, Meng Qian has also satisfied everyone's desire to share videos.

It's just that this video sharing needs to be uploaded to Qingfeng.com first, and then the link is sent to Dreamland.

That is to say, users need to use Kyushu platform for screen recording, Fengxin for communication, and Qingfeng.com for uploading videos.

The emergence of Dreamland not only allowed more Omi people to experience "Ancient Mythology", Meng Qian also took advantage of the opportunity to promote Fengxin, Kyushu Platform and Qingfeng.com.

Serves multiple purposes.

By the end of February, "Ancient Mythology" originally had less than 500,000 players in Omi, but now it has exceeded 1.3 million.

"Ancient Mythology" and "World of Warcraft" did not face off as many people guessed. "Ancient Mythology" is about to sweep the world.
