At this mont, aside from the nurous players, the most shocked ones were undoubtedly the ga company...
Since the inception of online gas, no ga has ever managed to stay open forever. After all, curiosity about a ga has its limits, and the number of players far exceeds that of ga designers. No matter how many pitfalls designers create, they cannot withstand the developnt brought by so many players. Once a ga's engaging elents have been fully explored, it essentially reaches a dead end.
Because of this, for a ga to operate for as long as possible, it needs to continuously update its gaplay and expansions. However, designers' creativity is ultimately limited; they cannot co up with new ideas every day. Therefore, aside from updating gaplay, the most straightforward thod to extend a ga's life is to increase its difficulty.
As the saying goes, "slow and steady wins the race." Players just need a goal in the ga; as long as there are tasks they cannot complete and bosses they cannot defeat, they will continue playing.
Of course, increasing the ga's difficulty requires skill. If all the monsters are set to be extrely difficult, it will negatively impact the experience for new players. At that point, not only will the ga fail to retain veteran players, but it may also deter newcors. Thus, the ga company can only manipulate the drop rates.
When the drop rate for equipnt is low, it gives players the psychological hint that "the bosses are not unbeatable; it's just that we lack good equipnt."
This way, players' enthusiasm for the ga increases, and they can experience the satisfaction and achievent of defeating monsters and obtaining gear. Even a slight increase in their stat panels can make players feel excited.
If a ga's drop rate is exceptionally high, players may initially feel thrilled, but before long, they will grow weary of the ga. This is why private servers may feel exhilarating at first but beco increasingly dull as ti goes on.
In this regard, has managed the drop rates quite well. The ga has been running for a full ten months, with players averaging level sixty, while the mainstream equipnt remains golden gear.
Obsidian equipnt is mostly for skilled players, and epic or legendary gear is extrely rare; most average players have only heard of it.
Thus, currently maintains a balanced state where players from all tiers have their own goals. As long as this continues, the ga's stability remains firmly in the hands of the ga company.
However, the ergence of Choba345 has directly shattered this balance. In just over two hours, the number of ancient equipnt in the ga increased by more than a hundred pieces. Witnessing this, the ga staff nearly spat out a mouthful of blood onto their screens.
Even the higher-ups of the ga company were directly shaken.
Although a hundred pieces of ancient equipnt may not seem like much compared to a player base of over a hundred million, the impact is certainly much more than just the number of items.
Creating equipnt in the ga is not as slow as in real life; on average, one piece of equipnt can be crafted every minute. With such crafting speed, Choba345 has effectively beco an equipnt manufacturing machine. If this continues unchecked, the entire ga may descend into chaos.
This situation is far worse than Wang Yu's actions.
While Wang Yu often fought monsters beyond his level and occasionally released expansions, there are very few players of Wang Yu's caliber in . Even if he released an expansion early, the vast majority of players would not be able to access it, aning the ga would simply not be running according to the company's budget, without seriously affecting the ga's progress.
In contrast, Qiaoba's mass production of God-grade equipnts has disrupted the ga's rhythm and can be seen as a threat to the ga's lifespan.
Just imagine: less than a year since the ga launched, players haven't even reached the maximum level yet everyone has a ancient equipnt flaunting around. No legitimate ga company would dare to operate like this, except in private servers.
is the ga company's bread and butter, and they certainly cannot allow one player to jeopardize their livelihood.
With the ga's survival at stake, no one dared to take chances. Seeing this situation, the higher-ups of the ga company imdiately convened a brief eting. After so discussion, they decided: update the ga!

At the sa ti, Sanguine Thousand Miles had just left the Quan Zhen Sect's guild base when the system sent out an announcent.
