Chapter 522: Chapter 504: Izumo players are furious!
“Hold on, let’s discuss things one at a ti.” Lincoln interrupted Little Chun.
“Let’s talk about the Safe Zone situation first, you know how complex this issue is, right?”
Lincoln had thought about the [Safe Zone] issue before, but why did he ultimately abandon the idea?
Because in “My World,” it’s very difficult to judge this scale: What kind of security level can be considered a Safe Zone?
“Prohibit players from attacking each other?”
Please! In “My World,” whether you slash people with swords or shoot people with crossbows, these are the least skillful thods.
Traps are the crucial part, okay?
Pits, pistons, pressure plates, lava, explosives, redstone … various types of strange traps will eventually be exploited creatively by the players.
You don’t even need to get your hands dirty!
“Or, make all players invincible?”
Then don’t bother with exploring dangerous areas, difficult collections, monsters and BOSS battles, and other ga content.
“Or, only make player attacks ineffective against other players?”
Then the problem cos back: What about traps?
Even if very complex ans are used to prohibit damaging other players, what if I demolish your house and steal your stuff?
Would that be okay?
So, this is a very extrely troubleso issue that Lincoln eventually choose to give up on because of its complexity.
With a few simple questions, Lincoln stopped Little Chun’s argunt.
Last night, before she was urged by Randall to leave work, she and her developnt team mbers were always keeping an eye on the players in the public world, naturally aware the nurous battles and destructions.
They had a brief discussion and felt that the officials could intervene to turn so public worlds into safe zones, and even casually conducted a vote.
Most of them agreed with this idea, there were just so disagreents on how many worlds to designate as secure.
So people felt that there should be half, simply dividing them according to even or odd numbers — odd numbers for the [Safe Worlds], and even numbers for [Free Worlds].
So people felt that it was unnecessary, and that most should either be [Safe Worlds] or mostly [Free Worlds].
Finally, a few people thought that this choice should be left to the players, letting the players of these [Public Worlds] to vote for themselves.
Before they could discuss it in depth, Little Chun was pulled offline by Randall — she had to take a break.
Although Little Chun’s health was not deteriorating for the ti being, she had to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions.
After going offline, Little Chun learned from Randall: The release date for Battlefield would be announced on Saturday.
So she didn’t have the heart to think about the Safe Zone problem any more.
Now that Lincoln asked about it, she had the opportunity to consider the complexity of the issue.
“So you can discuss this issue, I’m not fundantally opposed as long as you can co up with a good solution.” Lincoln concluded.
Little Chun did not say more, simply nodding in agreent.
“As for Battlefield…” After so consideration Lincoln also agreed: “Let’s just formally announce the existence of such a ga when the ti cos, then play a promotional video, but not say a word about the developnt progress and release date of the ga.”
“This should minimize the negative impact, right?”
Little Chun nodded again, this was already the best-case scenario.
Having resolved this issue, the question of how to establish a [Safe Zone] beca the top priority.
She wasn’t lying before — she truly believed that both casual and heavy-duty players should have the freedom to choose how they play the ga.
But seeing many casual players retreating to their personal worlds, she genuinely found it a pity.
In worlds like [World No.57], peaceful co-existence and cooperation, exploration, and shared construction were the modes she liked the most.
It’s just a sha that there aren’t many such worlds.
While not all other worlds were full of fighting, they all where a mixture of peace and conflict, with so destructive behavior to varying degrees.
Many worlds clearly look peaceful with only a couple hundred out of hundreds of thousands population wanting to cause a bit of chaos.
But many players still feel anxious, worrying about their accomplishnts being destroyed.
The goal of Little Chun was to make more public worlds like [World No.57], giving all players a sense of security.
However, achieving this was difficult.
…
Little did Little Chun know: She and her work group had not yet co to a conclusion when soone else had already taken action ahead of them.
[Public World No. 61]
Early in the morning, Super Tomato and many team mbers ca to their constructed [Heaven Hall].
At this ti, the [Heaven Hall]’s foundations, walls, and pillars had already been completed. Only the complex roof of the main hall was under continual construction and adjustnt, seeking to make it look as similar to the Heaven Hall in real life as possible.
But now, no one was working on this.
Over two hundred early risers had temporarily fashioned a “dragon chair” for themselves in the main hall. On the more than two hundred “dragon chairs”, over two hundred arms were hoisted, showing their agreent with the resolution.
At the sa ti, in the [Super Tomato Fan Alliance] group chat, the vote result had achieved a 98.6% absolute victory.
So, 10 minutes later, another familiar announcent appeared before all players –
The ‘Super Tomato Fan Alliance’ formally declares:
‘My World’ [Public World No. 61] is a peace zone, against all malicious vandalism, calling on all players in this world to exercise restraint, play rationally, build a sanctuary for peace-loving players.
We strongly advise players and groups engaging in PVP activities in [Public World No. 61] to shift to other public worlds for such activities.
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you really don’t want to leave, and don’t want to stop, then we will have to sincerely apologize in advance for our crude behavior.
As usual, any player or group wishing to join the alliance or cooperate with the alliance to maintain the ga environnt of [Public World No. 61], please inquire.
We wish all players happy gaming!」
This announcent, in wording, seems much gentler and more polite than that of the ‘Whirlpool Forum Player Alliance’.
But in essence, both announcents are pretty much the sa: “From now on, I am in charge of this world, don’t fight or else I’ll make your life miserable.”
Super Tomato was originally embarrassed to make the announcent himself and intended to entrust it to the group administrator. However, the proposed announcent organizers almost scared him to death –
The ‘Super Tomato Fan Alliance’ formally declares:
From now on, [Public World No. 61] is a peace world!
If you don’t agree, go to hell!
Said by , Super Tomato!」
Super Tomato promptly stripped this person of his administrative rights on the spot. It was too frightening!
You must be a hater!
In the end, he had to revise the announcent of the ‘Whirlpool Forum Player Alliance’ himself and publish it.
The ‘My World’ developnt team, who was in the midst of the discussion, imdiately noticed the announcent and had an inkling of what was going on.
The players were no different.
After all, this was already the second ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ player army to surface.
With the first and second in place, will the third and fourth be far behind?
The answer is – not far indeed!
Only five minutes had passed when the third announcent appeared –
The ‘Cloud Dream Ga Platform Discussion Group Alliance’ declares [Public World No. 17] a peace zone, prohibiting all destructive behaviors!
In the ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ era, player interactions on the Cloud Dream ga platform were still in the form of “evaluation areas” and “discussion groups”. By now, they had actually beco forums.
The players watched the announcent with excitent, eager for the next one.
They didn’t have to wait long for the fourth announcent to show up quickly.
The ‘Assassins’ Alliance Spiritual Rhinoceros Hashtag Player Alliance’ declares [Public World No. 33] a peace zone.
Then ca the fifth, sixth, seventh…
One by one the forrly half-dead 2,000-person, 3,000-person groups were activated. The forr ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ player armies transford en masse into ‘My World’ peacekeeping troops, settling into one public world after another.
Even the esport club’s grand alliance group joined this grand declaration campaign.
Of course, the status of esports clubs is more delicate, the announcents they issued had to be even more ticulous and polite, without saying a single harsh word to any misbehaving players.
They adopted a lot of “suggestions”, “hopes”, “calls”, “earnest hopes” and other such words.
The only regret of the players was: The once glorious ‘Red Clothed Army’, due to its organizational form stemming from the spontaneous actions of a large number of players, they were distributed in all group chats, but they did not have a dedicated large group of their own, so they could not appear at this ti.
One announcent after another, caused a huge sensation not only in the player circles, but also on the entire Internet.
In the absence of official organization, the actions entirely initiated by the players, on such a large scale and organized manner, was shocking to countless ‘netizens’ and industry insiders.
But this was not all, soon, an overseas announcent appeared, pushing this frenzy to unprecedented heights –
[A Letter to All ‘My World’ Baekje Players]
This announcent, or rather a proposal, first appeared in the Baekje section of ‘Spiritual Rhinoceros’, proposed by a prominent Baekje broadcaster.
And once it was proposed, it imdiately triggered a strong reaction, attracting the attention and support of a large number of Baekje players.
By the ti this announcent had successfully circulated and was noticed by Daxia players, it had been less than 20 minutes since it was posted.
The content of the announcent was also very simple –
“[World No. 6, is ours now!]
We call on all Baekje ‘My World’ players to head to [Public World No. 6], take this world and build a lot of buildings and creations with Baekje characteristics.”
Let [Public World No. 6], beco our Baekje players’ headquarters!”
As soon as this announcent ca out, the Daxia players were imdiately incensed.
But before the Daxia players could react, the Izumo players exploded first!
They imdiately had a large number of Izumo players run to the comnt section of the Baekje announcent, leaving comnts in Chinese that both sides could understand –
“Bulls* it! Since when is it your turn?!”
