After the appearance of the whole network press release, it can basically be confirmed that NetEase and Blizzard have renewed their contracts, and various public news in recent times can also prove this, such as the update of NetEase God and the recall of former employees, etc. At the same time, there is also a former NetEase employee who brought exclusive news to Fat Brother, because this former employee has been in contact with Fat Brother, and every time the news is accurate, Fat Brother is also here to share the news with everyone.
As we all know, when the national server was about to close, Blizzard specially prepared a personal save mechanism for players. Although personal saves are ridiculed by players as "electronic urns", many players have made personal saves in order not to lose their accounts.
I thought that when the national server reopened, personal saves would become a big help to recover accounts, but personal saves led to the loss of data for some players.
The exclusive revelation brought to Fat Brother by this former employee of NetEase is that the NetEase Guangdong team has indeed taken over the national server, and has also begun to sort out and transfer player data.
Due to the problem of personal archives, the player data has been messed up, and NetEase currently only has the player data that has not downloaded the electronic urn, and has lost the player data that downloaded the electronic urn. In other words, the electronic urn not only did not become a help, but directly led to the loss of player data.
I believe that many players will be puzzled when they see this news for the first time, since NetEase saves the player's data, then why does the Blizzard urn, a mechanism similar to double protection, lead to data loss?
NetEase's statement at the time was that the personal save function had not been tested by NetEase, and there may be unknown security risks when used, and Blizzard should bear full responsibility for the loss of player accounts caused by this function.
At the time, players didn't pay much attention to this announcement, but downloaded their personal saves to keep their accounts safe. Now it seems that the so-called personal save function is likely to be the product of Blizzard and NetEase's wrist wrestling.
Blizzard wants to take away the data of players in the national server, so it launched the personal archive function, and when players choose to download personal archives, it is likely to directly lead to data chaos on NetEase's side, after all, the authority of the game is in Blizzard.
It is estimated that Blizzard did not think that it would continue its relationship with NetEase at that time, and taking away the player's data can be regarded as adding a bargaining chip to itself, after all, Blizzard was still very arrogant at that time, and it was about to be acquired by Microsoft, and the waist pole was harder. As a result, with the suspension of service for a year, Blizzard did not find a more suitable national service agent than NetEase, so it could only choose to remarry NetEase, and the current situation is not NetEase begging Blizzard, but Blizzard begging NetEase.
So can this part of the players who have made a personal save still be able to retrieve their accounts? Fat Brother thinks that it can be retrieved (Fat Brother himself has saved it), but the process may be more troublesome.
Now that Blizzard and NetEase have reunited, then Blizzard should cooperate with NetEase to improve the player's game data, as long as Blizzard is not too pitiful, it is impossible to delete this part of the player data, not to mention that Blizzard's China localization team is still there, and Blizzard will also ensure the integrity of the data.
It is estimated that the player's personal save will be required to match the data on the server, or directly use the personal save to regenerate the account data, so players who have made a personal save should not delete the save. At that time, even if you can't get your account back in the first place, you can still get it back through an appeal.
