After more than a year of shutdown, will the return of World of Warcraft still be recognized by players? The answer is obvious, let's take a look at the latest data released by NetEase.
After the official announcement, NetEase opened the return reservation activity on the official website of the World of Warcraft national server and NetEase God, and at 5 pm on the 10th, the number of reservations reached about 22W.
With the arrival of the next day, there are more and more players who have made reservations to return, and as of 12 noon on the 11th, the number of players who have pre-registered for the World of Warcraft national server has exceeded 50W.
Some players may not have a 50W reservation for the game, after all, after the closure of the national server, many new domestic games have announced the data of pre-registered players, and tens of millions of pre-registrations can completely beat World of Warcraft.
However, the number of reservations for domestic games and the number of reservations for World of Warcraft are two concepts, and many domestic games only need to click on any platform, even if they make a reservation, and World of Warcraft is a real player who has recovered his account, and he is also a loyal user in the real sense. If it continues at this rate, it will soon be able to break through 100W.
Fat Brother went to Dashen to check the proportion of the pre-registered player camp, and found that the proportion of the alliance was 33%, and the proportion of the tribe was 67%, which is also in line with the camp distribution before the closure of the national server, so this number of pre-orders is still very credible.
After the official announcement of the national server and the opening of reservations, players should be most concerned about the real time of the server, although all the news points to the start of the server in June, and the first batch of World of Warcraft will be opened, but Zhang Dong gave a different statement.
In response to the question of "summer server", Zhang Dong gave a clear explanation that the summer of European and American game releases is generally from June to August. Although daylight saving time is September, September to November is generally said to be autumn.
In fact, there is more than one version of World of Warcraft that is open in the summer, and the time is generally around August, for example, version 8.0 will be opened on August 14, and the nostalgic costume will also be opened on August 27.
In terms of the opening order of Blizzard games, many news believe that World of Warcraft will be the first to open, but Zhang Dong said that "bet 5 cents on Hearthstone first", and for a while players also fell into doubts again, is it true that World of Warcraft cannot be opened for the first time?
If players still have doubts about Zhang Dong's news before the official announcement of the national server, then after the official announcement of the national service, Zhang Dong can be said to be a "guiding light". Let's listen to the dragon chant = 9 o'clock on April 10, 2024 = the year of the dragon, the dragon moon, the dragon day, the dragon, the breaking news is accurate to the hour, and only Zhang Dong, who is the former person in charge of the national service, can do it.
Since Zhang Dong said that Hearthstone will be opened first, then it can basically be determined.
As for why Hearthstone was opened first, the reason should be the version number. Hearthstone version updates do not need to re-apply for a version number, while World of Warcraft version updates need to be re-applied (a historical problem), and if World of Warcraft opens late, the only reason is the version number.
However, players don't need to worry too much, Zhang Dong only said that Hearthstone is opened first, and the interval of 3 days is also opened first, and the interval of 7 days is also opened first, as long as the interval is not too long, there is no difference between opening first and opening later.
