Perhaps because players have too high expectations for the return of the national server, the revelations related to the national server have become more and more outrageous in recent times, not only the news of the public announcement of the opening time of the national server, but even the price of the monthly card has appeared.
A few days ago, a blogger publicly announced that NetEase and Blizzard had reached an agreement that "World of Warcraft" will make a grand return during the Spring Festival, continue to use the monthly card system, and the price of the monthly card will rise to 110R. The news was watched by tens of thousands of players, reposted by many players, and then spread among the major player groups.
Although players are very hopeful that the national server can be reopened quickly, and it is also very timely to open during the Spring Festival, this news obviously has no credibility.
Judging from the currently known public information, NetEase has indeed retaken over the national server agent of Blizzard games, but the reopening will not be so soon.
The national server has been closed for almost a year, and the previous employees have been diverted, and the servers have been moved to other games. Even if NetEase is familiar with the proxy of Blizzard games, it will take time to recruit people and prepare servers.
Maybe it's because World of Warcraft has a high status in the hearts of players in the national server, so players will instinctively equate Blizzard games with World of Warcraft when they mention the return of the national server, but Blizzard games are not only World of Warcraft, but Blizzard's family bucket, even if the popularity of most Blizzard games is not high, and there is a Hearthstone that goes hand in hand with World of Warcraft, these all take time.
You must know that at present, NetEase and Blizzard have not officially announced the return of the national server, and the test of a small version of World of Warcraft will take a month and a half, not to mention how much time it will take to officially announce that it will be officially opened. Even if NetEase chooses to make an official announcement after arranging everything, it will take time.
As for the statement that the price of the monthly card has increased to 110R, it is even more nonsense. From the first half of 2023, there will be news that the price of the monthly card will increase after the return of the national server, and the core logic of the rumors of the monthly card price increase is that the price of the Asian server and the price of the foreign server monthly card is higher, while the price of the national server monthly card is lower.
Maybe the blogger who announced that the price of the national server monthly card would increase to 110R had never played the Asian server at all, but when he saw that the monthly card of the Asian server was 120, he directly said that the national server monthly card was 110R. However, the Asian monthly card is 120 Hong Kong dollars, and it is less than 110R after conversion, which has exceeded the price of the United States, Europe and Asia.
In addition, even if the price of the national service monthly card is to increase, it will not choose to increase the price so high-profile when it has just returned, either choose to fine-tune, or choose to be free for a period of time first, and then increase the price.
At the same time as these gossip came out, NetEase's official accelerator also came out to join in the fun, saying that there would be something "super big" in a few days. As a result, some players began to rumor that NetEase will be officially announced in a few days. However, the "super big" mentioned by NetEase's official accelerator is the birthday event of the accelerator, and it has nothing to do with the national service at all. What's more, if the national service is opened, who needs to use the accelerator?
Recently, there has been a lot of news in various aspects, and it is often difficult for players to distinguish the real from the fake. And the best way is to wait for NetEase's official announcement, and at present, the most likely time for the official announcement is January.
In short, the national service will definitely return in 2024. On the occasion of New Year's Day 2024, Fat Brother wishes everyone a successful career and a happy life. May happiness always be with you, and happiness forever!
