Different players have different pursuits when playing games, some people may just want to enter the game to chat with strangers, some people pursue the joy of playing games with friends and brothers, and some people may cling to the strongest equipment and the highest combat strength. This has led to the emergence of high-priced accounts and high-priced equipment in the past ten years since the advent of the game, which has repeatedly refreshed our cognition.
When the online game first came out, a dragon slaying knife that could be sold for 100,000 yuan in "Legend of Blood" stimulated the senses of many people in the most direct way, you know, around 2002, this money was enough to buy a 100-square-meter house. With the passage of time, "one piece of equipment is worth one suite" has become not new, and a piece of equipment has changed the trajectory of life and become the latest talk of players.
In the past few days, there is a sensational matter in the online game industry - a real -- a "Fantasy Journey to the West" player who was a security guard in reality, because of the failure of the pet, purchased several pieces of unidentified equipment "gambling arms", unexpectedly, let him identify a 140-level anti-heaven belt with angry special effects and no level restrictions, which is a big commodity in the world. This player just sent the equipment to the world channel, the private message immediately exploded, someone directly asked him how much money to shoot, someone interviewed him whether he fainted excitedly, for no reason, this equipment often costs more than a few million, enough to change a person's life.
It is reported that the "Fantasy Journey to the West" player finally sold the belt for more than ten million, and the buyer has confirmed, which also refreshed the record of the most expensive equipment in "Fantasy Journey to the West". After learning that a piece of equipment sold for tens of millions of yuan, players also boiled up. Many players envy and hate this overnight rich security guard, and many people secretly wonder: it is still NetEase's game to preserve value.
In a sense, the equipment in "Fantasy Journey to the West" can sell at such a high price, which is indeed closely related to NetEase's extremely mature economic environment and trading system. In general, the transaction of virtual equipment and account in the game is extremely inconvenient, and even like Tencent, it is clear that "the ownership of gold coins, props and other items in the game should belong to Tencent, and players and third-party platforms have no right to buy, sell and trade." "This makes it difficult for players to monetize their virtual property, and the loss rate of account and equipment changes is extremely high." NetEase relies on the "treasure cabinet" system, but effectively avoids this, spending money in the game, for many players not only become entertainment, but even become an investment behavior.
Sky-high equipment and account trading, in the NetEase game is not a "Fantasy Journey to the West", such as the unlimited scenery of the martial arts terminal game "Against the Cold Water" in the past two years, but also frequently broke the record of "sky-high account". Shortly after the opening of the "Reverse Water Cold" treasure cabinet system, there were players who bought accounts with "one million" to the news of the explosion of the network, and when the media interviewed the player who bought the account at a sky-high price, it was found that the player was the same as the account ownership that he owned through the treasure cabinet to the account registered by his own identity information, and the price of one million was much lower than the value of the account itself, and the actual value was two or three times higher.
Not long ago, after the launch of the "Cold Water" Lingwu system, there were also many local tycoon players who spent thousands of dollars to create top-level Lingwu at a price of one million yuan. Such a large amount of money is higher than the price of most game accounts, but because Lingwu can split the transaction separately and is extremely valuable, players do not have the concern of "falling prices" and can bet their assets more confidently.
The stability of prices allows local tycoons to invest in top accounts and equipment with confidence, and for ordinary players, there is also a way to better quantify their output. Because of the property value of money, "Fantasy Journey to the West", "Against the Water Cold" also exists a large number of brick party players, relying on the game to play equipment, sell copper money to make a living, the general brick moving party through hard work, a month can also get thousands to tens of thousands of yuan of income, luck burst is even able to get rich overnight, and has become a large industry with many practitioners.
So, what do you think about tens of millions of dollars worth of gaming equipment?
