Chapter 563: Potential for Explosion

Two days later, the internal test qualifications for "World of Warcraft" began to be issued.

The issuance lasted for one day, with a sales volume of 100,000, and currently only the national server. Although the game has more than a dozen foreign languages, foreigners need to bear a relatively high delay if they want to play.

Fortunately, this is not a game like League of Legends that cannot be played if the delay is high, so the impact is not particularly large.

Although many people said for two days that they would take a wait-and-see attitude towards this game and were not blindly optimistic.

But when it came time to apply for qualifications, it was all issued in less than half an hour.

The probability of drawing a qualification was one in ten, which means that at least one million game fans applied in these five minutes, and the heat could be said to be quite high.

However, this was also normal. After all, the anime "Azeroth" was popular some time ago, accumulating a large group of plot fans globally.

And "Final Fantasy" has now sold 20 million copies, and the production strength of Blizzard Studio is also fully worth looking forward to.

Plus, this game is highly recommended by Miss Luo Quan, and boys who like to play games almost can't find a reason to refuse it. Even if they don't like this type, they would be willing to give it a try.

It was rare for qualifications to be issued so quickly, but it was not beyond Miss Luo Quan's expectations.

Since the qualifications had been issued, the test started ahead of schedule.

All servers were provided by Penguin. There is no need to elaborate on how awesome Penguin servers are. They are basically one of the best in the country. With a mere 100,000 users, there is no pressure at all.

Because it is an online game, and Li Jiang is very confident in the quality of the game, so although it is only an Alpha test, it can also be livestreamed.

And many big domestic and foreign streamers started pre-loading immediately after applying for qualifications.

The size of the internal test version of "World of Warcraft" exceeded everyone's expectations.

The volume of "Final Fantasy" before was over 103G, which was already a behemoth for standalone games on the market that had not installed extra content.

And "World of Warcraft" was even more outrageous. The internal test version alone was 120G. If it were the full version, wouldn't it break 200?

And online games are updated with versions, and the volume will become larger and larger. After two or three years, what will happen?

So after seeing this volume of "World of Warcraft," streamers directly shouted that fans could buy a 1T hard drive in advance. This thing is probably not easy for ordinary hosts to serve.

Because the opening time was in the morning, Miss Luo Quan was sitting in the company at this time, responsible for dealing with all emergencies.

Actually, she was just a mascot. Li Jiang and another assistant were basically handling all matters, big and small.

After waiting until after ten o'clock, the "World of Warcraft" internal test started. Except for those players who were lucky but had slow internet speeds, other players basically entered the game at the first time…………

Xi Hongshi is the game UP host with the most fans on Bilibili. Because his commentary language is humorous, he is deeply loved by fans.

Usually, whatever game is the most popular, he will basically livestream or make videos for fans at the first time.

"World of Warcraft" is no exception, but his luck was not very good. He didn't draw a qualification and spent 3,000 big ocean to get an internal test pass.

The good news is that the internal test pass says it will be bound after entering the game and can be used until the public test.

"Brothers, stop brushing any configuration identifiers. Can my dual-channel 2080Ti graphics card not hold up a mere World of Warcraft?" Xi Hongshi saw the worry in the barrage and smiled very confidently.

Double-click the game icon. First, the screen went black, followed by a blue Blizzard Chinese and English logo, which looked very comfortable.

But immediately after, the Penguin logo popped out, and the barrage immediately started brushing "bad luck."

There is no way, Penguin's reputation in the country is indeed not good.

But cursing is cursing, using is using. Now there are really not many things on the internet that can be separated from Penguin.

After the logo, it was an animation, which was the trailer CG released by Miss Luo Quan before. Although I have watched it many times, I still feel it is interesting to watch it again.

After the animation, enter the faction selection, which is the famous Alliance and Horde in the future.

However, Xi Hongshi and a group of viewers didn't know, just read the introduction of the two factions first.

The Alliance is headed by humans, basically all native races of Azeroth, and their body shape and appearance are relatively normal.

And on the Horde side, Orcs are outsiders, belonging to the invaders of Azeroth, but there are also many local groups, such as Tauren and Trolls, but their appearance is relatively detached from the public aesthetics.

The only highlight is the female Blood Elf of the Horde. The default faces are all very high in appearance, belonging to the Horde's appearance representative.

Unfortunately, Xi Hongshi is not a cross-dressing player. After a little thought, he decisively chose the human race of the Alliance faction.

Next is the profession. Xi Hongshi prefers high-output characters, so he chose a Mage.

Up to here, it was quite satisfactory, and there was nothing that could be distinguished from other games, until Xi Hongshi started pinching his face.

As we all know, most online game face pinching is an extremely time-consuming and laborious link.

There is a saying that "game for three minutes, pinch face for half an hour," which refers to some people spending more time on it than the time spent in the game.

And this is a universal phenomenon.

For other games, the more exquisite ones are to give ten or so default face shapes first, and then make fine adjustments through numerical values.

And this World of Warcraft is amazing. It directly prompts that you can download a mobile app and scan your own face to pinch your face.

"Damn, what kind of black technology is this? Is there such an operation?" Xi Hongshi has played games for eighteen years and has been the president of I don't know how many online games, but this is the first time he has encountered an online game that can scan his own face.

Surprised, he immediately downloaded the app and started scanning his face.

The result of the scan surprised him. It was actually 80% similar!

"Damn, this is too restored."

"This technology is awesome. Face scanning unlocking is used on this."

"Then wouldn't it be possible to see various celebrity faces in the game in the future?"

"Actually, you can pinch it out just by pinching."

"What are you waiting for, just use it."

………………

The restoration degree of face scanning made a burst of exclamations in the barrage, but Xi Hongshi had different thoughts.

"I definitely can't use this face. Can I still look good if I enter the game with this appearance?" After Xi Hongshi was surprised, he smiled again. "Everything on the internet is virtual, and I'm not a big handsome guy, so how could I use my real face."

Saying that, he naturally clicked on an Oriental face shape and started pinching his face. It took more than half an hour, and finally pinched out a quite handsome face.

Paired with a blue silk mage robe, the temperament suddenly came out.

For the next two hours, Xi Hongshi started an immersive play.

At first, he would comment, marveling at the high quality of the textures in the game, how good the lighting effects were, and so on.

But as the plot and gameplay deepened, he became more and more addicted, especially after seeing the world ranking list, he was directly on the head.

There are many lists in the ranking list, such as PVP points list, team dungeon first-pass list, equipment level list, and achievement count list.

There are many patterns, and it can only be said that it is worthy of being a game with the Penguin logo.

"Damn, going to cheat my money again." Xi Hongshi, who was already on the head, subconsciously pressed the ESC key, preparing to enter the mall to find the pay-to-win system, and come for a first charge first.

But after searching for half a circle after entering the mall, I found that there was no first charge at all.

Except for point cards, weekly cards, and monthly cards that will only take effect after the official server is opened, there are only various illusion skins.

They look good, but they don't improve combat power at all.

"Damn, this game is really conscientious. You can't buy combat power with money."

"Is this really a Penguin game?"

"Accurately speaking, it's just Penguin representing it. The game is produced and operated by Blizzard."

"No wonder, then I decided to enter the pit."

"Indeed, the picture is too top-notch, it's no problem to play as a standalone game."

"Then the question is, should this ranking list be rushed?"

………………

Seeing the question in the barrage, Xi Hongshi's eyes were already full of light: "How to rush? Everyone should know my personality. Standalone games must collect all achievements, and online games must be in the top five of the ranking list.

Since you can't pay to win, then liver it! As long as you don't die, liver it to death!"

After speaking, he started a journey of brushing levels with all his heart, and this brush was a whole morning plus afternoon. In the middle, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he stood up and moved, and then sat back to run the plot and upgrade after a while.

However, I didn't see a few people in the barrage persuading him to rest, because the audience was more on the head than him.

How long Xi Hongshi played, they watched the livestream for how long, even taking it with them to the toilet. Seeing Xi Hongshi being killed by monsters and losing experience, they felt more distressed than him.

And such scenes also happened in many large and small livestream rooms at home and abroad.

"Boss, the retention rate is very high. Six hours after the server opened, there are still about 50,000 active users!

Considering that half of the users are abroad, many people may not have chosen to stay up late, so this data is already very terrifying!"

Li Jiang saw the report handed over by his subordinates, his face full of happy colors.

"OK, at the end of this quarter, give everyone an extra month's salary as a bonus!" Miss Luo Quan clapped her hands and said with a spirited face. The office was suddenly shouting "long live."

"In addition, this internal test is over, everyone must take a few days off to rest. You have worked hard during this time, relax, don't be too tired." Miss Luo Quan said with a smile, thanking the employees sincerely.

World of Warcraft going online for testing so quickly, these employees are the greatest contributors.

And it was just such a sentence that made the eyes of I don't know how many employees become incomparably gentle.

Although it was not yet night, for some reason, they suddenly thought of the words: "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."

People's thinking is always very jumpy. When seeing her smile, even the names of the children were thought of.

These employees are probably in such a state now.

Miss Luo Quan didn't realize that her speech had achieved such an effect, and went home after finishing the company's affairs.

Along the way, she brushed Weibo, Bilibili, and Twitter, enjoying the blowing from all over the world.

"Help, I'm already possessed."

This is the title of Weibo hot search, which is a pun. It is mainly some users who have played the game expressing excitement, but most of the comments section are viewers, which is very interesting.

However, no matter what channel they learned about the game, they all gave World of Warcraft a very high evaluation at this time.

This is a game that you can know how good the quality is just by looking at it.

And those who have already played, most of them have no time to make any evaluation.

Before, the media were still saying that this game has some potential to explode, after all, the background is so grand and the picture quality is outrageously good.

But after the internal test started, this was no longer a matter of potential or not.

Explosion is just a matter of time. When will the public test be, and when will it be estimated to reach the top of the online gaming world.

This is just a file-deleting internal test, and many contents have not been released yet, but just experiencing the plot is already addictive.

I can't believe what it will look like when the full version comes out.

As the developer, Miss Luo Quan cannot answer this question.

She can only say that this will be a real world with flesh and blood, and the story of this world will be even more magnificent than the Homeric epics.

Just as she finished brushing Weibo, the game on the computer was also downloaded.

"I'll play World of Warcraft for everyone in the livestream today. When the public test is opened, I'll build a guild. Those who are interested can come in. We will play team dungeons together in the future, and I will be responsible for commanding."

Miss Luo Quan rubbed her hands and started drawing a big cake for the fans.

Like LOL, World of Warcraft is also one of her favorite games in her previous life, and she has played it for I don't know how many years.

Although the interface, novice tutorial, and gameplay are all different from the versions she played before, there is no change in the general direction.

Unlike those players who will fall into choice difficulties at the beginning, Miss Luo Quan's goal is very clear: directly the Horde faction, the race is the most beautiful female Blood Elf, and the profession is the Warrior with the most refreshing sense of impact.

"Damn, Elf female warrior, not choosing a Hunter Archer?"

"Worthy of being you, thick and fierce."

"At least it's the number one combat power on Earth, how can you not choose a Warrior?"

"Indeed, Miss Luo Quan's melee has always been okay."

"Haha, I thought Miss Luo Quan would choose a Priest to heal people."

"Then her healing amount must be ranked first every time. (Sly)"

"Help, this is not a car to kindergarten, I want to get off!"

………………

Amidst the teasing, Miss Luo Quan started scanning her face.

Pinching faces is too troublesome. She has always had choice difficulties, so she asked Li Jiang to add such a function, directly letting the game character use her own face.

And this scan scanned out a beautiful face shape that was 70% similar to her.

"Damn, so beautiful."

"The most beautiful face pinching so far."

"Nonsense, don't look at whose face was used to scan."

………………

Everything is ready, Miss Luo Quan entered this game world created by her with full anticipation. ===== CHAPTER 564 =====
