Chapter 289 287. Eternal memories

  After World of Warcraft opened, players all over the world are a little crazy.

There are several reasons for   .

First of all, World of Warcraft has a very solid foundation. This wave of core players is mainly from Warcraft. After Blizzard's operations for so many years, Warcraft is already a relatively well-known game in the world, especially for Omi players. Learned some related plots through Warcraft.

It turns out that Warcraft requires a high hand speed and requires players to control multiple units. In fact, there is a high threshold, but in World of Warcraft, players only need to operate their current role well, and during the upgrade process, Players have a lot of time to familiarize themselves with character skills and operations.

  So after the threshold was lowered, many players poured in.

  Secondly, World of Warcraft has a huge world view beyond imagination.

  The world background is similar to Cthulhu. If you want to describe it accurately, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of words are not enough. (So ​​the author will not count the words here)

  Under this world view, the entire World of Warcraft goes from the ancient evil gods, to the old dominators, void walkers, and then to giants, dragons, orcs, humans...

  Basically all western magic elements you can think of can be reflected in this game.

  And each race has its own chronicle. The chronicle tells about their birth and development, as well as the grievances and entanglements between them and other races.

  And those legendary figures in each race’s own history and their legendary experiences.

  Take Prince Arthas, in World of Warcraft, it is a very classic and sighing tragic hero image:

  Arthas was the son of King Terenas Menethil II of Lordaeron and the disciple of Uther Lightbringer.

  Alsace has been a Paladin since he was a child, possessing a sense of justice and responsibility.

  As the residents of Stratholme were about to become zombies, Arthas ordered the bloodbath of the city. In order to get revenge, he sought Frostmourne. For this reason, his fighting trainer and childhood partner Muradin Bronzebeard died.

After getting Frostmourne, Arthas beheaded Kel'Thuzad who brought the plague, but he was too young after all. He didn't know that from the moment he picked up Frostmourne, he had become The thing he always wanted to destroy-the Scourge.

  From then on, he embarked on a road of no return.

Due to the erosion of Frostmourne, Arthas gradually lost his sanity and began to obey the Lich King. Let me explain that the killer is a rune sword built by the Lich King over ten thousand years, and possesses the power to control the souls of others. ability.

  The Lich King told Arthas that you are my most powerful death knight, my first warrior. Kel'Thuzad, who was killed by you, is also our right-hand man, but it takes a urn of a holy man to resurrect him. So Arthas returned to Lordaeron and beheaded his father.

  But never expected that the king's urn was taken away by Uther. In order to revive Kel'Thuzad, Arthas tracked it all the way and finally beheaded his mentor, Uther Lightbringer. Under the leadership of the Lich King, Kel'Thuzad was resurrected, and with his assistance, he fought north and south, and finally defeated all his opponents and became the new Lich King.

  Simply put, it is a dragon slaying warrior who once had the faith of light. In the process of slaying the dragon, he gradually lost himself, killed his father and killed his master, and finally became the story of an evil dragon.

  A hero who fell and became the Lich King that everyone feared. During this year, players all over the world were amazed. This story is really shocking, and the twists and turns in the midway are all strange, which makes people feel sorry.

  Because of this, Alsace was affectionately called by the players——

  【The filial son of Lordaeron】

  In order for players to better experience the process of Alsace's fall, Stratholme became a very important instance of this period.

  ……

  So even if the character of World of Warcraft is not beautiful enough, it is not in line with the player's aesthetics, but it conforms to the whole World of Warcraft view, and it is easier to be accepted by people.

  Players experience in the game, completing one task after another, while also experiencing the legendary epic of these races.

  World of Warcraft, let every player participate, as if you are a witness to all these epics, and also a participant. Your actions seem to have no effect on the ending, but it seems to affect everything.

  This is the immersive experience that World of Warcraft brings to players.

  Compared with other games, although the characters in World of Warcraft are not beautiful at all, the images of these characters are carefully designed, and they have the essence of Warcraft, allowing the whole world of Warcraft to be displayed in front of the players.

  The 60-level warcraft in the previous life did not have the blood elf race, but Boss Cao forcibly added the blood elf in order to look good.

  At the same time, the two professions of Paladin and Shaman have been added.

  The main reason is that in the previous life, Cao Yang played the blood elf paladin, and he found it too ugly for other races and professions.

  The experience that World of Warcraft brings to players is gradually rooted in the hearts of the people from the story itself to the player’s behavior.

  So even if you haven’t learned the story of World of Warcraft, you are not interested in the legends behind the characters, but you can deeply experience one thing in this world——

  That is, the hatred between you and the opposing faction has a long history, for tens of thousands of years. This hatred has been carved into the bones of each player from the NPC and the leaders of the two factions.

  So the players of the Alliance and the Horde often kill each other to the death, just because of this false hatred [fictionalized by the official].

  ……

  In order to forge the hatred between the two camps, Bomi actually made a lot of designs:

  For example, after level 30, many missions started in Stranglethorn Vale need to be completed in neutral areas, and even some missions and dungeons must be completed in the enemy camp.

  In this way, if you want to complete these tasks, you are forced to enter the other side's territory, and the two sides are bound to start a life-and-death battle.

  As time goes on, the hatred accumulates deeper, and the tribe and alliance become deadly enemies.

  When both parties were in the massacre, they both shouted:

  【For the tribe! 】

  【For the alliance! 】

  ……

  In addition to these reasons, the emergence of World of Warcraft allows people to see a new form of MMORPG. In this game, the world is constructed so real, and the interaction between the npc and the player is memorable.

  At the same time, the 40-person team instance appeared in World of Warcraft, which directly amazed countless players.

   "Fuck, this game can still have a team of 40 people? This Nima, I have never seen such a big battle."

  So far, only MC, Molten Heart, a 40-person group, has been opened, but for players, this large team copy already has a super shocking power.

  BOSS is so huge, every BOSS, even every mob has to let you spend time researching how to fight.

  Each BOSS has its own special skills and combat AI. Players need to go all out to allocate 40 different tasks and functions. After countless land reclamation, it is possible to win.

  Before this game appeared, no other game had done this before, and no other game had such a powerful force.

  Plot and characters, character background and character skills...These are all inseparable and form a whole.

  So in the process of opening up wasteland, the players also learned the background of the story from the group annihilation again and again, and knew the identity and story of each BOSS well.

   has never appeared in previous games.

  Although Bomi had the concept of copy in the game of Three Kingdoms online a long time ago, there is also a certain multi-player collaborative design, but it is not so large, and the requirements for every wasteland player are so high.

  Three Kingdoms online requires the most number of copies, which is the Jiugong Change, which requires 10 people to complete it together.

Because the copy design of Three Kingdoms online is equivalent to laying a certain game foundation for the players in advance, so boss Cao decided to open the first World of Warcraft version directly to level 60, so that players can experience the first 40-person team Copy, so that World of Warcraft has a higher topicality, and will not be said to be the Western Fantasy version of the Three Kingdoms online.

  MC’s land reclamation is so difficult, it requires a lot of staffing, complexity, and accuracy, which is a challenge for players, and at the same time allows them to truly experience the charm of World of Warcraft——

  Every player is a hero who saves the world, and this process is not easy to come by. In front of the BOSS, every player looks so small, but with everyone's concerted efforts, they can defeat powerful enemies again and again.

  A game that can achieve the perfect unity of body and spirit is a very rare thing.

  And this seemingly impossible task, World of Warcraft did it, Bomi did it.

  So Bomi was once again pushed to the altar by the world because of World of Warcraft.

  Bomi’s World of Warcraft forum is simply crowded by players, and the number of various hot posts and discussions is increasing geometrically.

"Fuck, Bomi’s new game is too top-notch, right? I saw that the character image of this game was too ugly at first, so I didn’t play much. If it weren’t for my wife to pull me back to this game in time, I’d I'm going to miss a good game."

   "In fact, I thought the character was ugly at first, but once you accept this setting, you will find that it is actually very handsome, especially when you put on different equipment, the temperament from the inside to the outside has changed.

The character image is set according to the world view. If the dwarf is not short, he is not a dwarf. Each race has its own characteristics. I think it mainly depends on what kind of career you like to play, and don’t care. What is the image of this character.

  It’s best to experience it all once, so that you will have a deeper understanding, and it will be more helpful for you to be familiar with the game and the world view.

  Moreover, this game is not only a magnificent world view. Our group hit the MC yesterday, and the BOSS in it really surprised me.

  Although the old one was destroyed, each of us feels very good. "

"Yeah, I never thought that the original game could still be played like this. It is impossible to have a team of 40 people! I originally thought that the limit was the change of the nine palaces of the Three Kingdoms online. Only now I found out The copy design of World of Warcraft is truly amazing.

  The skill difference of each character and each occupation is fully displayed in this game. If one person is paddling, it will be reflected from the BOSS immediately.

  We opened up wasteland yesterday, the old one, we played all night, and it hasn’t happened yet.

  Now the guild leader is arranging people to study the specific style of play. I don’t know when we will be able to pass it. I hope I can get good equipment.

   is worthy of the work of Bomi Company, it is almost in the same line, making you feel the fear of being dominated by the Three Kingdoms online. "

  ……

  Molten Heart is the most difficult copy of the current World of Warcraft version, and it is also the largest copy of the team.

  In this dungeon, a lot of good equipment will be dropped, which is the legendary graduation outfit.

  Before the new level is opened, if you gather all the BOSS drops in the MC, it is equivalent to having graduated. After that, you can do other side tasks with peace of mind, brushing achievements and so on.

  In the newly opened level 40 copy of Molten Heart in World of Warcraft, there are two bosses each will produce an orange legendary mission item.

  After completing this task, you can get a one-handed orange artifact called [Blade of Wind Kiss].

  To make this artifact, the left and right sides of the wind sword are collectively called the left face and the right face.

  This thing, only the No. 5 BOSS Garton and the No. 4 BOSS Gal will come out.

  So after a long-term exploration of land reclamation, the players have summed up some metaphysics about Fenglian falling:

  For example: You need to play BOSS 5-8 first and then come back to play Gal to show your face.

  So a group of Ran first bypassed the fourth child, went to the back and flipped a few other bosses, and turned around to fight Gal.

  You must be very careful when touching the corpse. You must let the thief girl in the team touch it, or let the most popular person in the team touch it. Others must stand far away, otherwise they will not fall.

   Later, someone discovered that if the copy ID ends in the three numbers 268, the probability of Fenglien falling will be greater.

   Then even if you get the tail number copies of 2, 6, and 8, you still need to check the number of fire elements in the first wave of MC mobs. If the number of fire elements is three or more, then this copy can continue to play.

  Otherwise, it will be difficult to show your face no matter how you play.

  And there is also a crazy player who gave the actual wind face drop data in the game forum.

  I don’t know if he is really lucky or the Xuan student is effective. He actually got Feng Lian three times out of the four times. This post became popular all of a sudden.

   Numerous imitators were born, and some even made videos and maps specifically to explain how to observe the fire element in the MC copy.

   There is another saying: Gal and all the mobs die together, do not exceed 1 second before and after, and they will explode in close combat, but they cannot die.

After this post appeared, countless teams were destroyed. Originally, the difficulty of MC was very high, but now it is necessary to accurately control the killing of Gal and all the mobs at the same time within 1 second, which flatly increased the difficulty of the game, so many People are tortured to death and torment.

   Later, there was a saying that before starting the group, you must first sacrifice your sister paper.

  So the major guilds began to frantically recruit sister papers in order to be able to successfully brush the face of the wind, which made many sister papers feel deep fear.

However, the members of the guild are also somewhat conscientious. They promised that if they show off their faces and the sister paper needs it, then they will give priority to the sister paper. If the girl paper’s career is not suitable, then the equipment obtained this time will be given priority to the victim. Sacrificial sister paper.

  So later, for the sake of equipment and for the better development of the team, the sisters also gave up, and had to jump off the cliff to die before starting the group.

but……

  If it is a ladyboy, then the drop rate will be greatly reduced, so it is better not to pay a memorial service.

  So the sister paper, who was later used as a sacrifice, must open the wheat and say a few words before jumping off the cliff, so as to verify the body.

  In addition to the sacrificial stream, a strange ritual stream was born later:

For example, after entering the dungeon, everyone needs to form a circle at the door, start to walk around the circle, and have to jump while walking. You need to maintain a good formation in a certain order, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise there is no way. Windy face.

  Later, it developed into a circle around the BOSS with the outgoing face, and it still couldn’t trigger the BOSS’s hatred...

  This Nima is harder than playing the boss directly.

  ……

  The metaphysics of Feng Lian quickly spread from the Eastern Continent to Western countries.

  So in the United States, they also began to learn to use various metaphysics to fight BOSS.

   later developed to——

   "As long as you type Cao Yang's name before you start your second child, you have a high probability of falling out of Feng Lian."

   "caoyangbaoyou!"

   Cao Yang’s name has become a word very familiar to the players of American Warcraft.

  Although no one understood baoyou at the beginning, it was probably similar to witchcraft, until one day a Chinese student gave them a popularization——

   "Bless, it means bless."

  The U.S. players just woke up.

  So later, before playing MC second, everyone will swipe in the chat channel——

   "caoyangbless"

   is equivalent to God blessing.

  But if there is no showy face after the fight, the players will all scold in the chat channel:

  "Fackucaoyang!!!"

  ……

  When Cao Yang learned of this, his whole body was not good.

  Fuck, what does it matter to me? !

  This group of evil pens, the Nima drop is generated by the program when you enter the dungeon. Does it have a relationship with you to scold me? !

  ……

  In addition to the copy discussion posts, the guide posts, newcomer posts and curse posts are often seen.

  Sometimes several kinds of posts are mixed together.

   "Boss, Mengxin is playing World of Warcraft for the first time. What issues should I pay attention to? Should I choose an alliance or a tribe?"

"Of course I chose the tribe. The tauren is so cute, the blood elves are so beautiful, and the undead is so cool. It's really a shame that you don't choose the tribe. I suggest you come to us. Choose a tauren and I will take you. Whatever job you use is fine.

  Welcome to Gnomeregan server. "

  "Lord, don’t listen to him. Tribal pigs are a bunch of junk goods. Their poor character will only mislead you. They will take you to do some awkward things. Come to the Alliance. Isn’t it good to be a human?

  Come to dominate the sword server, I will take you, and we will kill the tribe pigs together at night. "

   "Alliance Dogecoin, a group of idiots, even if you are bad, you still have to insult the tribe players here, have the ability to single out, grandpa is waiting for you in Stranglethorn Vale."

  "Special tribal pig, are there any players on the Sword of Domination server? Tonight, we will organize a wave, I am going to slaughter the Undercity.

  For the alliance! "

   "You special Union dog, grandpa, I am going to slaughter your family tonight, the sword of dominance, right? Coincidentally, where are we too.

  For the tribe! "

  ……

  The hatred of the tribe and the alliance is deep-rooted and will never be solved.

  The ability to play World of Warcraft is also related to the huge number of users of this game all over the world.

  After the launch of "World of Warcraft", the number of players on the national server quickly exceeded 1 million.

  And the average online time per person is as high as 8 hours.

  This is almost the same as going to work.

  Every guild in World of Warcraft has formed a tight organization, and before each group fights a copy, there must be a legion commander to uniformly direct the battle.

It’s hard to see a game like this. Forty players went online on time, waiting for the entrance of Molten Core, and then heard the leader roll the call, answered them one by one, and then in the process of playing the dungeon, except for commanding one Except for the human voice, no one else made a sound, and even the breath was suppressed. It might be the kind that even Mai dared to open.

  Super cohesion, efficient command, unified action, absolute obedience, precise command execution...

  This Nima, where is this game, is simply serving in the army.

  In just one month, World of Warcraft has more than 6 million players worldwide.

  There are nearly 2 million people in China alone.

  Wowers all over the world are going crazy for World of Warcraft.

  This kind of scene, before the birth of World of Warcraft, was absolutely invisible in other games.

  ……

   Cao Yang saw the company's data and couldn't help but sigh.

  This is probably the best and most tragic memory of players who have experienced World of Warcraft in their lives. This is their youth, and World of Warcraft is only one such time and cannot be copied.

When World of Warcraft is in decline, it is difficult for you to find a game like this one that can bring dozens of people together at the same time, at a fixed time, leaving everything behind, just to enjoy the wasteland with the members of the guild. fun of.

  This sense of purity, with the exception of World of Warcraft, will never be found again as it ends.

As time progresses, after 10 years, people will be busy with their careers and tired of life. Except for college students, everyone's time is very short. At that time, it is difficult for anyone to spend so much time, just to talk to teammates. We played BOSS together and enjoyed the fun in the process.

  The trend of the game industry after 10 years is bound to be fragmented, which will come quickly with the popularity of smart phones.

  And people will gradually lose the fun of communicating with others because of excessive pressure.

  When MOBA games conquered the world, the aging World of Warcraft was just an unforgettable memory in the hearts of middle-aged people.

  That's it.

  ……
