In December 2021, a news that QQ Tang issued a suspension announcement attracted the attention of many netizens.
According to the official, due to the strategic plan of the project team, QQ Tang will stop the operation of the Chinese mainland on April 20, 2022, and shut down the game server. After the server is shut down, all account data and character profiles in the game will be deleted.
Today, That is, April 20, 2022, "QQ Tang", which has accompanied generations of people, officially ended at 11:00 a.m., and at the same time, the official website, forum, and exclusive customer service of the game server were all closed.
The 17-year-old "QQ Hall" still failed to usher in its 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
Do you remember when the last time QQ Tang was updated?
Do you remember the last time you played QQ Tang?
Once a popular internet hot casual game, until the moment it disappeared, the page style of the official website seemed to stay ten years ago, telling the heartache and depression of disrepair and frustration.
——I am a 17-year memory dividing line——
In fact, whether you have played or heard of this game, as long as you have experienced the qq communication era for a long time, you will definitely have a deep impression of the following avatars.
They are round and cute, full of cuteness, is the QQ can not customize the avatar before, many netizens are keen to use the avatar, they are also in the "QQ Hall", witness the existence of the peak popularity.
In 2003, QQ Games was officially launched. As the starting point of a generation of casual games, if you want to enter the room in the popular games in the QQ game lobby that year, you always have to try your luck to queue up for a while.
The popularity of QQ games allowed Tencent to see new opportunities, and in 2004, it came up with its first independently developed leisure online game "QQ Tang".
This game has a cute screen and simple gameplay, just control the arrow keys and space bar, throw out sugar bubbles at the right time, and blow the opponent unconscious.
But don't look at the description is very simple, only after playing it to know, "QQ Hall" game masters such as clouds, being abused by the gods is really a very normal thing.
If you can practice the edge card position of the edge card in "QQ Hall", and complete such an operation every two or three seconds, you will definitely be invincible in the future in the popular ACT game.
Some people are doing it in a position, and some people are simply unable to walk. Fortunately, "QQ Hall" also has a pleasant football mode, grabbing the bag mountain, pushing the box, mechanical world, competition mode and so on.
In December 2004, as soon as "QQ Tang" was launched, it exceeded 10,000 people, and its popularity directly caused dissatisfaction among the players and officials of the same game "Bubble Hall" that year.
South Korea's Nexon filed a complaint against Tencent, but forgot the indisputable fact that the two imitated the same bowl of noodles .
Everyone borrowed from the classic hardcore casual game "Bomberman", who is more noble than whom?
However, although nexon lost the lawsuit in this wave, in the follow-up game operation, the performance of "QQ Tang" is really difficult to make people happy.
Not to mention that Tencent changed "Crossfire" as a pro-son, reducing the investment in "QQ Tang"; the development team stopped the early version login after the 5.2 version in 2015, and even could not be compatible with the WIN10 system without a patch...
As a direct result, even if the old player thinks about playing for a while, he will give up because he can't open it.
Not to mention the fatal blows of all online games, piles of plug-ins and modifiers. How did the former "Legend" and "Stone Age" die, and "QQ Tang" all died according to the work.
Drag more, plug-in, and be marginalized by other online games to get together. The "QQ Hall" with the ability to monetize and the player maintenance is deteriorating, and finally came to the day of closing the service.
Then the question is, this wave of "QQ Tang" is not only because the living space of online casual games has been squeezed out, is it possible that the production team is ready to switch to the embrace of the mobile industry and create momentum for the mobile game to go online?
Unfortunately, this is true news, but it is also a fake news.
Because "QQ Tang" really did a mobile game a long time ago, but it didn't do it.
Just like any popular online game IP has tried or has taken the step of mobile games, in 2016, the "QQ Tang" mobile game has opened a small range of internal testing, in addition to restoring the end game map and screen, there seems to be no more eye-catching features.
As a result, there was no news of this trip for many years, and even "Bubble Hall M" with Tencent's late agent failed to be officially launched.
Nowadays, if you still want to experience this ancient hardcore casual game, you can wait for "Bubble Superman for All", although the version number has arrived, but it is delayed when to start.
In the domestic online game version number that Lenovo announced a few days ago, several companies have either closed down or started other businesses, when can they wait for the spring of the casual mobile game that belongs to the bomberman game?
I really don't know.
——I am the summary dividing line ——
In 2018, QQ pets rolled off the line. In 2019, QQ Sonic shut down.
In 2022, QQ Tang has also left us, and those games that accompany players after 8090 are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.
Their end may be the failure to keep up with the pace of the times to upgrade the gameplay and graphics, but also the lasting immersive experience and competitive pleasure that traditional casual games are destined to provide.
But what about IP no matter how big it is? Are there still fewer competitive online game projects that have been smashed?
You don't see the "Monster Hunter OL" Hanbok cool after three years of operation, because of the "too unique" operation method and serious lack of instructions and many other problems caused players to stay away, the operation situation has been repeatedly bad, even if it is changed to a free game, it has not been able to save respect...
"War Front" and "Meteor Search Sword Record" that once landed on the national uniform with great momentum, which is not the money to come, quietly go, do not take away a cloud?
"War Front Line": The shooting game launched by the famous Crytek company, the domestic agency rights were taken by Tencent, but the immortals were hanging all over the sky, and the national service did not renew the agency rights, and then had to be shut down.
"Meteor Search Sword Record": a domestic martial arts e-sports online game, originally placed high hopes, but the egg began internal testing in April 2013, before and after experiencing 9 times of internal testing can not be open beta, until the agent expires, the final result is still cool.
Say goodbye, the dream of the candy kingdom has not returned with the distant childhood.
I hope that all the warriors are all right, and I only hope that those people and things that once existed in your memory will still shine and warm when you want to remember them.
The above is today's game Bai Xiaosheng.
