Player: A laugh
If you ask about the current players, what is the most abhorrent thing in the game industry, the three words "activation code" are definitely on the list, as an old game fan, I don't know how many times I have been tortured by this thing, but for me, the first "fight for the code" is one of my most unforgettable memories.
It was 2009, the era of Korean game domination, and no matter what we said about Smecta games later, at least they had been beautiful in those years.
"Tower of Eternity" is the leader in the Korean tour, once the picture was exposed, almost no need to publicize, the popularity has exploded, and there was a great momentum of head iron and magic beasts against Gang. Whether the people in the Internet café know each other or not, as long as you are watching the video of "Aion", someone will definitely come and say something big, and the opening must be: "Is there a code?" ”
The activation code of "Aion" may not be appropriate to grab, it should be called "saving", when the official engaged in various activities, including but not limited to various channels of check-in, sharing, lottery and web games, etc., accumulated a gem for exchange.
The most I remember playing are two mini-games, one is a puzzle, one is a spinning frisbee, there is a charging bar underneath, press the frisbee at the right time, and reward you with different numbers of gems depending on the height of your ejection.
In order to get the perfect reward, I have to spend at least 45 minutes to play this little game every day, day after day, the liver has a physiological reaction, and I want to vomit when I see the small game screen.
When it is close to the stage of grabbing codes, when the network manager of our Internet café shows off that he has 2700 gems, I already have 5000 gems in my hand, which is a well-deserved star of the Internet café and the hope of the whole village.
Whenever I play a game, I can hear the network manager bragging at me in the back: "See no, the guy in the front row, 5,000 gems." ”
The exciting days finally came, in the stage of exchanging gems for codes, I studded 7600 gems, and in one fell swoop got the activation code of "Tower of Eternity", and the whole Internet café boiled over.
A game of national concern, only one person in the whole Internet café got the activation code, which shows the high difficulty, when someone bid 500 or 1000 yuan to buy the code, they were all ruthlessly rejected by the young me.
But because of this, I became the brightest cub in the whole Internet café, as soon as I entered the door, someone gave me a attention salute, and on the day of the game test, the network manager even left the machine in the front row to help me keep it.
When I logged into the game, the excitement was really indescribable, even if more than ten years later, I can still think of the feeling of a sudden heartbeat at that time, but - queue!
Unlike the "Yin Soldier Borrowing Road" that many games engaged in later, the Tower of Eternity is a solid queue, and the queue is 7 hours, can you believe it? There is no VIP channel, no matter what kind of membership you are, how much money you have to spend, there is no special opportunity.
In the end, there was no queue for seven hours, only four hours to enter the server, and I didn't know who was behind me and shouted "He's in!" Behind him, a large wave of people hula- and half of the People in the Internet Café gathered around.
I entered the game with excitement, the picture of "Aion" is not blowing, even if it is still not outdated today, it was a ceiling-like existence at that time, and I don't know how many "wocao" words are behind playing a game.
At that time, I was playing sword star, I like to play warriors in any game, real men have to experience the iron armor sword, although the sword star profession was not very strong, but it was always my faith.
After joining the game, I quickly met a large number of partners, the first time to join the game, are invested in a lot of energy to grab the code of the liver emperor, everyone's enthusiasm for the game is also very high, long online time, high level, time to play the copy, brush battlefield clothing, strength has been walking in the first echelon.
Compared with single-player games, a large part of the fun of online games comes from the competition between players. When we were okay we practiced PK with each other, fought, studied the copy, and really had fun.
With the full release of the game test qualifications, a lot of good buddies in the Internet café can also come in and play together, will not do tasks, will not look at the map, do not know what to transfer, every day people come to me, I am also willing to take everyone to level up, and later also formed a guild together.
Such happy days until my senior year, internship, looking for a job, really no time to play again, a blink of an eye ten years have passed, I have long been not the small fresh meat of the year, but recently heard that "Tower of Eternity" nostalgic clothes, contact a few good buddies, if you have time, go back to nostalgia!
