It has been the 63rd day since Blizzard's family barrel was suspended, and since the official announcement of the stoppage, Blizzard has made a lot of big moves around national server players, and the biggest one will officially start on March 28 (that is, tomorrow). At that time, the World of Warcraft global server will be separated from the current Taiwan server and become an independent Hong Kong server.
World of Warcraft port server officially opens tomorrow, three major changes you need to know
1. HKSC only supports payment in Hong Kong dollars
On February 25, Blizzard announced that it would increase payments in Hong Kong dollars and adjust the accounts of players registered in Hong Kong and Macau, which will only be able to pay in Hong Kong dollars in the future.
When the change takes effect, the current Battle.net Points held by players eligible to convert HKD will be converted from NTD to HKD based on the latest exchange rate. For this change, players generally speculate that it will usher in a price increase, because Minato has always been more expensive, but Blizzard does not say anything at present. Xiao O feels that the biggest reason is not simply the price increase, because the vast majority of players who switch to Asian servers will choose Hong Kong when they choose their place of registration, so the purpose of Blizzard's move is mainly to further separate national server players and original Asian server players.
Second, the Hong Kong service area will be directly operated by Blizzard
In addition, starting tomorrow, according to the final agreement of the user previously modified by Blizzard, the player contract counterparty (i.e., the contract counterparty) residing in Hong Kong and Macau, China (i.e., the contract counterparty) will be Blizzard Entertainment, and the player contract counterparty in Taiwan will be Activision Blizzard Taiwan Branch. In other words, the account registered in Hong Kong and Macao has become a real Blizzard direct operation, and the global service is about to leave the Asian service.
In the future, if you encounter any problems in Hong Kong service, you will no longer be able to complain to Taiwan Blizzard, but directly find Blizzard Entertainment.
Third, the sealing rules will be changed, and the false sealing will be reduced
Not only that, Blizzard also additionally modified the relevant terms on account bans and appeals, and the first violation in the future will be warned, then blocked for seven days, and finally forever blocked, which is more conducive to national server players playing games on global servers, and will not be often banned in Asian servers due to game habits and other issues. In this regard, some players are worried that it will have a bad impact on the fight studio, but in fact, the current studio situation in Asian Service has improved a lot. Under the changes of locking suits and restricting the direct creation of level 55 DK, the difficulty of starting the studio DK army has increased sharply, and the DK army is rarely seen in the battlefield. Therefore, the change of this ban rule is mainly beneficial to ordinary players, after all, it is very troublesome to be banned and appealed in Asian servers.
Little O said
After March 28, national server players will be completely separated from Asian server players and play in another circle drawn by Blizzard. Both the player group and the payment method are new, and the Hong Kong service area will completely become an alternative to the transition period of the national server.
