Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On September 26, 2000, "The Legend of God" ushered in a new major update. In this update, the game forum was upgraded, and more importantly, the game portal was officially launched.

In order to keep the name of the product line consistent, the game portal of Dafeng Kechuang is called Dafeng Game.

The game portal promoted both in-game and Fengxin, attracting a large amount of traffic in one morning.

Compared with the simple single-page sorting of the previous in-game forums, the partitions on the portal website allow everyone to better post and find topics and content they are interested in.

On the homepage of the website, the upper left corner is the game center, the middle is the industry news and recommended articles, and the right is the login entrance.

The following sections are divided into five sections: Xinyou Express, Game Topics, Game Evaluation, Game Forum and Game Mall.

At the bottom is the game category.

The first reaction of many people who entered Dafeng Games was the same. They originally thought that this was the exclusive website of "The Legend of God", but after entering, they realized that something was wrong. This is a game portal website that includes all games.

For example, after entering the game forum, you can choose the corresponding game and then link to the independent forum link, and according to the different characteristics of the game, the content in the corresponding independent forum will be a little different, such as "The Legend of God", everyone cares more about upgrading Brushing up on equipment and these things, like "Legend of Sword and Fairy", cares more about strategies and plots.

And because "The Legend of God" itself has social functions, there will naturally be an additional section for players to display and interact with players.

Although "Biography of God" will rank first in all sub-categories, generally speaking, Gale Games as a whole is relatively fair and objective. Except for "Biography of God", which ranks a little better, there is no comparison. "Legend of God" does any promotion, let alone stepping on other games.

What's more, "The Legend of God" is indeed very popular now, so there is nothing wrong with this arrangement itself.

In addition, after you registered, you found a very interesting setting, that is, the point system. The website encourages you to post more and comment more, and there will be different point rewards according to the quality of posts, attention, page views and other data.

Points can be used to upgrade. According to different points, there are four levels, namely ordinary players, skilled players, veteran players and ashes players.

Each level will have certain privileges and benefits. For example, after reaching a senior player, you can apply to become a professional reviewer, and you can work as a reviewer in the game review section. Reviewers can make money directly by posting posts.

Hardcore players can apply for moderators, experienced players can apply for sub-moderators, and skilled players can apply for forum team leaders. In the design of the entire forum, it is obvious to deliberately promote everyone's interaction and communication, including group building, and the way of communication Apart from the forum itself, it is more convenient to use Fengxin.

The Dafeng game forum has been connected with Fengxin. You can register wind signals on the forum or bind existing wind signals. Everyone can communicate with each other through adding wind signals.

In addition, the official will launch some activities from time to time, which naturally requires users to join the rumor group.

Another function of the points is to exchange for products in the mall. Now the products in the mall include "The Legend of God" point cards, genuine game CDs, some peripherals and points lottery draws.

However, there are also various restrictions on the acquisition of points. For example, malicious swiping of the screen will delete posts and deduct points. Try to ensure a good website environment.

This is a relatively sound point mechanism in the eyes of netizens in 2000.

One day after the website was launched, more than 1,000 people left posts on Gale Games. Fortunately, in the Internet environment in 2000, there were no tea sellers, no speculators, and no sexy croupiers to deal licenses online, which made the company's review less tiring.

However, Meng Qian still made a sensitive lexicon and designed a relatively simple review algorithm. It is difficult to conduct a comprehensive review of vulgar things, but we must focus on some content that may lead to crime.

At the same time, with the efforts of Sun Xiaojing, Dafeng Science and Technology has finally officially established a review department. Previously, the posts in the game were all part-time employees of the operation department who were reviewing part-time jobs. Now it finally relieves them of the burden.

On September 29, 2000, Meng Qian had just read the latest data report. In the past few days, the number of registered users and posting users of Dafeng Games has increased rapidly, but the increase in the number of users of Fengxin is not surprising.

I think that the users who came to Dafeng game these days are all attracted from the game, and those players already have wind signals.

After switching the phone, Meng Qian was considering whether to call Zhang Shuxin.

At this time, Li Feiqing posted a link in the rumor group of the company's technology department, and then posted four words: competitor.

Meng Qian immediately put down his phone and opened the website posted by Li Feiqing.

This is a link to a mop post with the title: "The latest news, The Legend of Mir 2 is confirmed to enter China next month".

"What is this?"

Meng Qian didn't understand the situation at first, but after a quick glance at the text, he regained his energy.

The Legend of Mir 2, translation: "Legend 2".

Meng Qian read the article first, and then immediately called Li Feiqing into the office. Li Feiqing is the person in the company who loves playing games the most, and also has the deepest understanding of this industry.

Through the article and Li Feiqing's narration, Meng Qian finally made things go smoothly.

The Legend of Mir 2, that is, "Legend 2", is a game developed by Korea Wemade Entertainment Co., Ltd., but The Legend of Mir, that is, "Legend 1" is not developed by Wemade, but another Korean company called Actoz developing.

The relationship between the two is simply a cooperative relationship. "Legend 2" should be regarded as a cooperative development in essence, but now the media in Korea are more inclined to say that it was developed by Wemade. The specific situation is not clear. After all, it is not State enterprises.

Judging from the timeline, Shanda should have represented "Legend 2" instead of "Legend 1", but Shanda named it "Legend of Blood", and everyone is used to calling it "Legend". Most people probably don't know Goryeo The development of "Legend" in China.

Anyway, Meng Qian didn't know.

And the time when Shanda launched "Legend" before, Meng Qian probably remembers from his constant memories that it should be 2001 or 2002 after his rebirth, because he played Legend relatively early, and he was already a junior at that time.

It is only 2000 now, and Meng Qian judged that "Legend" should have entered China ahead of schedule, and another thing Li Feiqing said on the Internet can be regarded as evidence, that is, "Legend 2" originally announced that the first external market would be placed in China. Europe, but now it's in China.

As for the reason, maybe it has something to do with "Biography of God"?

But Meng Qian doesn't want to go deep into this matter now, because he cares more about another thing, that is the agent of "Legend 2", not Shanda!

The early entry of "Legend 2" has made the agents different from the original historical trend, and the official agent of "Legend 2" is: Ogilvy Electronics!

The name Ogilvy Electronics may not have been heard by those born in the 2000s or even in the 90s, but if Meng Qian’s generation has been obsessed with games for a while, they will know it, because Ogilvy Electronics is the Huaxia of Blizzard and Xueleshan in this era. acting!

"Warcraft", "StarCraft", and "CS" are all his.

His status in the game industry in this era can be imagined.

It's a pity that Ogilvy Electronics' good cards were poorly played. Internal corruption and mistakes in online game operation strategies caused him to go bankrupt in 2005.

Meng Qian still has the impression of various news on the Internet at that time.

Regarding the reasons for the collapse of Ogilvy \u0026 Mather Electronics, the media at the time were full of feature stories. Meng Qian remembers it very clearly. First, it was because of serious corruption and management chaos within the company.

Second, they wanted to represent World of Warcraft at the beginning, but Blizzard required the agents to have large-scale online game agency experience, so Ogilvy Electronics first went to represent a few online games, and ended up spending a long time in the publicity stage, and finally the game came to light die.

There is also a saying that Ogilvy Electronics did not control the distribution rights of its agency games at the beginning, but Haofang took the lead and built a competitive platform instead.

"I really didn't expect that "Legend" actually chose Ogilvy Electronics." Meng Qian touched his chin subconsciously again, and suddenly smiled ghostly after a long time, "Their problems in the previous life still exist in this life, especially the internal problems. Regarding the issue of corruption, anyway, it went bankrupt in the previous life, so it’s better to take advantage of me in this life.”

If there is an opportunity, Meng Qian is very interested in Ogilvy Electronics, not to mention his current status in the game industry and his ability to make money. Ogilvy Electronics is the pioneer of e-sports in China. People are a great asset.
