Shocking foreigners for a whole year! China Warcraft Studio has been on the hot search of Warcraft Forum
Recently, a post on Reddit's "World of Warcraft" section about Chinese studios moving bricks online has sparked a heated discussion among players on the Internet. In the video, a screen on the wall of a Chinese studio shows a large number of bots running automatically, most likely in World of Warcraft nostalgia suits. The poster claimed that there were more than 500 accounts operating at the same time.
In fact, this video was first posted on the domestic Tieba forum, and was later rebroadcast by Asmongold to his broadcast room, which became a topic of conversation between him and other anchors.
According to Asmongold's calculations, this gold mining studio can open 512 scripts at the same time to move bricks, which means that the studio needs to pay Blizzard a monthly card fee of up to 56,320 yuan per month. This means that the profits they make from the game are much higher than that, and Blizzard may turn a blind eye to these accounts due to the high "protection fees" paid by the studio.
Overseas players have gone crazy about this, with some resisting and angry about gold strikes, and some finding themselves missing out on a lot of business opportunities.
Because the right foot stepped into the office first and was laid off?Blizzard's former employee exposed the outrageous persuasion process
With the departure of Bobby Caldecott, many outrageous behaviors related to Blizzard's top management have also been revealed. Recently, Jason Hall, a former employee of Blizzard, revealed that their team did an outrageous operation to achieve the goal of 50% layoffs.
Managers will come to the company in advance and stand in a half circle at the door, and the employees who come in through the gate will be shunted to the side door on the left or right, and those who will be led to the right will be laid off, and they can safely return to their workstations by taking the left. But the funny thing is that many people are actually Xi not going through the gate but taking the small door on the other side, and they return to their workstations and are found by the manager and quietly invited out.
In this regard, many netizens said that this sounds like a joke about stepping into the door with his left foot and being expelled, Calderick is really a talent.
The price of the national service monthly card will not increase!
Recently, Zhang Dong, the former person in charge of NetEase, began to actively screen the news of his uncle's party on the reopening of the national service on the Internet because he lifted the relationship between the resignation and the hush period, and even took out a version of the "bound version" of the insider collection.
Among them, Blizzard has not signed any Chinese distributors yet, but once they negotiate, the progress of the reopening of the national server will become very fast, but it is still unknown whether it will be able to launch the service before the Chinese New Year.
In addition, Zhang Dong said that the news of the price increase of the national service monthly card is completely nonsense, and he dares to bet five cents that the price of the national service will not increase if it is reopened. On the cusp of the imminent price increase of this monthly card, the person in charge of the former NetEasy dared to make this judgment, obviously based on his previous experience in the industry for more than ten years, and was sure that domestic agents would not give in to the step of monthly card price increase.
Of course, in the previous revelations of the uncle's party, there is also a new agent or will finally reach an agreement with Blizzard through the relationship between Microsoft and Blizzard that you can also play Warcraft with XGP. In this way, even if the price of the monthly card really increases, players can also start with a relatively low price.
【Warcraft Competitive Product News】
The first large-scale MMO terminal game in 2024, it is determined to surpass Warcraft as soon as it debuts
On January 30th, the "Ship New" MMO online game "Kunfar" with the goal of surpassing Warcraft will be launched, and overseas forums are already full of discussions about the gameplay.
Judging from the gameplay exposed by the project team alone, this game does have a lot of the same dungeons as Warcraft, for example, players are also playing the role of "foot men" who survive in the struggle between the gods, and they need to match their professions according to the traditional "Tactics of War" Iron Triangle, and large-scale PVE dungeons and PVP battlefields also support dozens or even hundreds of people fighting on the same screen.
Unlike Warcraft, Kunfar focuses on open-world exploration, plus an MMORPG map of up to 2,016 square kilometers, the largest in the world, ensuring that players can create the most unique adventures.
But what makes people suspicious is that the studio that developed "Kunfar" is called Vawraek Technology, which is located in the famous Turkey. The studio was founded in 2021 with team members who had experience developing an online game called Kayra Online.
Therefore, no matter how you look at this project, it looks like an epic pie of "deceiving the king and investing in many fishes......
- Unknown small factory, a service-oriented game that can be expected in the future, a very well-optimized ultra-high image quality, a super-large map with rich content, speaking of which, do you still want to be reminded?
—Add that the non-locked-in area comes with Chinese.
- The development team established in 21 will not be another catastrophe, right?
The most expensive bundle in the history of the game! Star Citizen has launched a 344,000 yuan gift package
Talking about the topic of "painting pies", the space-themed MMO online game "Star Citizen", which has never been officially launched, has recently launched a large bundle with a price of 48,000 US dollars, which is about 344,000 yuan, becoming the most expensive bundle in game history!
Players can earn 221 in-game spaceships for a fee, including some of the larger, most powerful ships.
You know, according to Forbes statistics, the average annual income in the United States in 2023 will only be $60,000, and it will only cost $33,000 to buy a new Ford F-150, the most popular pickup truck in the United States. But someone is willing to spend $48,000 on "Star Citizen" to buy these ethereal ships, which has sparked heated discussions on the whole network.
Best of all, the bundle is notoriously non-deceptive, and you can only unlock the purchase after spending $1,000 in Star Citizen.
In this regard, we can only say that whether it is Blizzard's "World of Warcraft" or many domestic MMO online games, the steps in inducing krypton gold are still too small, and there is time to learn "Star Citizen".
The first new class in 2024! Ark of Destiny updates have been dramatically accelerated
On January 10th, the new class Phantom Rain in the Ark of Destiny Sorcerer series will be launched.
This class is a class that specializes in using umbrellas to manipulate the weather for combat, and can use various weather-related skills such as wind, sunshine, fog, and rain to destroy enemies.
At the same time, "Ark of Destiny" also said in the 24-year research and development plan: "We will accelerate the launch of new classes in the future, and optimize the rhythm of our preview of new classes in the future." I hope that every adventurer will be able to learn about and get in touch with the profession they like and look forward to as soon as possible. ”
It is worth mentioning that the official specially released a growth booster package for the new class, and players can unconditionally receive the [Phantom Rain Growth Booster Pack] for free when they create a Phantom Rain character and enter the game. The bundle contains the Glowing Scales Box (Exclusive to Phantom Rain)*1, Argus's Essence Box (Exclusive to Phantom Rain)*1, Battle Item Comprehensive Box*1, [Daily] Avna Request Completion Ticket*3, and Hero Opinion Box*5.
It seems that the national server of "Ark of Destiny" is expected to catch up with most of the career opening progress of Hanbok in 2024, but I don't know what will happen to the synchronization speed of the plot and gameplay?

Banned 270,000! Asian server WLK nostalgic players have suffered again
Recently, Blizzard posted the number of bans in December - 270,970, setting a record for the number of bans in the history of Warcraft.
But what makes people complain is that in this wave of account bans, the accounts of many Asian server players have suffered again, but the script accounts are alive and well. We don't know what Blizzard GM relies on to determine the use of plug-ins in a player's game account, anyway, the national server will be opened soon, and everyone can return to one of them.
9.0 Bamboo is hard to write! Foreign media sharply commented on the World of Warcraft expansion
With the end of the Dragon Age of Warcraft 10.0, many forums at home and abroad have started the World of Warcraft expansion rating activity, trying to select the worst expansion and the best expansion in the minds of players.
According to foreign media reports, the ratings of the Warcraft expansion pack are WLK, TBC, Vanilla Age, Return of the Legion, Dragon, CTM, MOP, Draenor, Battle for Azeroth, and Shadowlands.
Among them, the editor focused on the game design of 8.0 and 9.0.
The Shadowlands version of the Shadowlands version is updated at a speed like squeezing toothpaste, the whole Riddler's plot design, and the Covenant gameplay without any highlights makes people feel tired to play.
Although the early story of Battle for Azeroth was good, in the middle and late stages, Blizzard lost control of the entire storyline and destroyed a large number of characters.
A large number of Warcraft urns appear in the second-hand market, and the price is as high as 120,000!
Recently, a large number of sky-high electronic urns with prices of 60,000, 100,000, and even 120,000 have appeared on the second-hand market of Warcraft, which has made everyone doubt their lives.
Judging from the information in the second-hand market, the urns that dare to bid sky-high prices now generally have all the best character graduation outfits, more than a dozen seasons of gladiator dragons, more than 800 mounts, and 30,000 achievement points. If the national costume can really return, the commemorative value of achievement points and gladiator dragons alone is enough to sell for a high price, and it can be regarded as worth the money.
At the same time, the top accounts in nostalgic clothing are also being sold at a clear price, and the conditions are all Qingyishui's gladiator dragon, black Qila tank, fallen ash messenger, etc., compared to the account value of the official server, the price is also marked at about 5 or 60,000.
For many players who are concerned about the progress of the return of the national server, these sky-high Warcraft urns are sold on the second-hand market, which obviously reveals some information. However, after communication with the seller, and judging from the message records, most of the Warcraft urns currently on sale are organized and purposeful studios. They seem to be selling these sky-high accounts, but they are actually promoting the strength of their studio, thinking about waiting for the return of the national server to get the first cup.
