Blizzard and NetEase are about to terminate the contract, "Warcraft" and other classic games will be discontinued in China at that time, in order to meet some needs of Warcraft players, "Against the Water and Cold" specially created "NetEase Warcraft Veteran Theme Service" to accept these players.
As the ultimate solution for NetEase Games to continue to provide high-quality game services for NetEase MMO veteran players after the absence of Warcraft National Service, NetEase Warcraft Veteran Service officially opened at 14:00 this afternoon.
According to the official introduction, 650,000 players have previously made reservations for the "Against the Water and Cold" Warcraft veteran uniform, so the official opened a total of 10 servers such as Fateful Encounter, Legend Eternal, and Origin Sanqing, but there was still a situation that the server was squeezed in the moment it was opened.
According to the screenshots posted by netizens, he was ranked more than 20,000 and needed to queue for nearly 100 minutes to enter.
From this situation, it is obvious that NetEase underestimated the enthusiasm of players, but the official of "Against the Water and Cold" had previously made a plan, and said in the announcement in advance that if there is a large number of queues in the future, it will quickly respond and invest in additional reserve servers to open to ensure a smooth playing experience for players.
According to the official introduction, from the perspective of the number of appointments of 650,000, it is predicted that the veteran uniform itself can achieve a basic balance of income and expenditure, with a small probability of a slight loss, and the annual operating extreme loss is expected to be 12-15 million yuan.
Official emphasis: As a strong initiator and supporter of veteran uniforms against the water and cold, Mr. Ding Lei has always paid close attention to the trend of veteran uniforms.
Mr. Ding Lei intends to give an additional subsidy of 30 million yuan per year to the veteran uniform project to help the long-term operation and development of the veteran uniform. Therefore, on the issue of the purity of point card service and the long-term development of veteran uniforms, veteran players can rest assured.
As for the price of point cards, the official said that the price of point cards for veterans' uniforms is consistent with that of official uniforms, that is, 0.6 yuan per hour, and the cap is triggered after spending 90 hours (54 yuan) in a single month.
This is an innovative form of combining point cards and monthly cards, which is very friendly for players with more and fewer online connections. If you are only online for 1 hour per month, it only costs 0.6 yuan, and if you are online for a long time every day, it will cost up to 54 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that the opening of the service will also give a national reward, and everyone will have a share.
Starting today, the commemorative mount [Undefeated] will be available for free in the game; After 0:00 on the 24th, complete the [Return of Heroes] mission to receive the initial version of the "Legendary Eternal Series Weapon Appearance" for free.
