Will the national server return? Who is the new agent of the national server? These two questions have been hovering in the minds of national server players for a year. Although there was a lot of breaking news during this period, almost all of it was gossip.
Until the time entered December, more and more public news appeared, and the fat brother believed that the probability of the former agent reconciling with Blizzard was very high, and the reason why there was no official announcement was largely due to waiting for Caldecott to resign, I thought that the official news would have to wait until after New Year's Day, but the new news suddenly came.
I believe many players still remember that not long after the closure of the national server, the former agent sued Blizzard, and the case originally scheduled to be heard in September 2023 was postponed to January 2024, and the number of cases was reduced from 6 to 4 people. At the time, some players thought that it might be some kind of agreement between the former agent and Blizzard, but then a September indictment was added, so this argument was not settled.
Just as players were waiting for the trial to begin in January, the former agent abruptly withdrew the lawsuit. The latest query results in the fact that there is only one lawsuit left between the former agent and Blizzard, and the court date has also been brought forward to January 11, 2024.
Although four of the five cases were withdrawn, there is still one left, but it is clear that the former agent has reached some sort of settlement with Blizzard. The only remaining 1 case will be over on January 11th, and it is estimated that after the real end, the national service should also be officially announced.
In fact, before the former agent withdrew the lawsuit, there were many revelations pointing to the former agent in the game circle.
For example, a blogger in the gaming circle posted a picture of Dota Carl, implying that the former agent had renewed his contract with Blizzard, and a Blizzard blogger also made it clear that he would update it synchronously with NetEase Dashen.
In addition, public information including Morgan Stanley, Diablo Immortal's text messages, national server battle network IP addresses and filing information review also point to the former agent, and now with the withdrawal of the former agent, the new agent of the national service is about to come out.
I have to say that the withdrawal of the former agent has brought great hope to the national server players, after all, in the hearts of the vast majority of national server players, the former agent is the best agent choice, for the following reasons:
1. The former agent continues to represent Blizzard games, which is not only a ready-made server, but also can recall former employees to the greatest extent.
2. The former agent owns the Blizzard game version number, and at the same time has the priority right to unfreeze the Blizzard game trademark, compared with other game companies, the national server can be opened as soon as possible.
3. The former agent holds the player's data, even if the personal information has been anonymized, it can further reduce the risk of the player's account.
4. After the closure of the national server, the former agent refunded the player, which is also the first large-scale refund in the game circle, and it can be said that this refund has earned enough goodwill from the player.
In short, from the current point of view, the former agents are the best candidates for the national service agents, and the reconciliation between the former agents and Blizzard also explains the former agency leader's sentence "I don't want to continue to take the blame".
If nothing else, when the Blizzard holiday ends (after Caldecott leaves), there will be more and more news pointing to the former agent, and after the case on January 11 is over, the national service should also be officially announced.
For a period of time in the future, the Asian server will not need to recharge the annual card, and the personal archives maintained by the national server before can also be found, if there is no archive, you can flip through the mailbox to find the previous recharge records.
