Chapter 374: Chapter 237: Marble Dynasty Chronicles
"Cultivation Fantasy" has been in open beta for a week.
As a long-awaited MMORPG ga in the PC market, with a full nostalgic martial arts fantasy the and extensive advertising coverage, it’s naturally not lacking in players.
Initially opened five zones, and throughout this week, it’s been nearly at full capacity the entire ti.
Even at three or four in the morning, these five popular servers remain at full capacity, with queue waiting pages popping up from ti to ti.
Note, three or four in the morning!
It’s already remarkable that the server is at full capacity at this ti, and if the queue waiting page pops up, it can only an one thing: a new server needs to be opened!
That’s right...
Considering the full capacity state of these five zones and the influx of new players, Chen Ba had no choice but to open three new zones on the fifth day of the open beta.
"Eight zones should be enough!"
Chen Ba muttered, "The PC market is not doing well, people nowadays play mostly on their phones, with a remarkably low computer boot rate, opening too many new zones is pointless."
"That’s the truth..."
"Things have changed now! In the past, MMORPG gas could open several new zones a month, and by the end of the year, there would be at least a dozen new zones, sotis even dozens."
Luo Ji comnted, "But for gas now, being able to maintain seven or eight zones operating normally is already quite impressive."
Isn’t it true that League of Legends, the super popular phenonon-level ga, was also forced to rge servers?
The popularity of League of Legends is likely unquestioned as the No.1 PC ga, yet even the big boss of the PC market can’t support so many servers, having to rge them to keep six or seven zones.
This fully shows that opening lots of new zones now is truly unpromising and unnecessary.
A network ga, no matter how popular, should not exceed ten zones. Ideally, keeping four or five zones is the more reasonable state.
What’s the point of opening so many zones?
Opening zones now will only create ghost servers, you don’t find this fun, do you? Not to ntion the waste of resources and effort, the key issue is that having many ghost servers leads to rging servers, which adds a lot of work.
"Sir, the tis have changed!"
Lu joked, "In the future, it’s likely very difficult to see that kind of server list with a long string, where finding your own server requires scrolling for half a day."
"I understand what you an!"
"What you’re reminding
of is the past, when playing gas, you first choose the internet provider and then select your provincial area, and after the provincial area selection, you decide between Zone One, Two, or Three..."
Chen Ba also laughed.
In the past, selecting a server in such large-scale online gas was indeed a headache, like the famous example CF, where a province could be divided into a whole area of zones.
This situation indeed doesn’t exist anymore now.
The main reason is the PC market isn’t thriving, and the number of players can’t compare to before, unable to support so many server divisions.
Besides this, another secondary reason is that servers now are generally built quite extravagantly, a zone can accommodate a number of players equivalent to four or five zones or even more from before.
Take Cultivation Fantasy as an example.
Cultivation Fantasy currently has eight zones, with a player capacity limit structured for 100,000 people, aning eight zones can accommodate 800,000 players online simultaneously.
This is only simultaneous online!
In fact, a zone’s registered players and active player numbers absolutely exceed 500,000. It’s just that players log in at different tis, so there are only a bit over 100,000 online at the sa ti.
Speaking of this, Chen Ba quite admires the No.1 Telecom Zone in the national League of Legends, which is Ionia!
This zone accommodates many players from the national service, and even after the Teamfight Tactics version went live, attracted many Teamfight Tactics chess players.
Who knows what the hosting limit of this zone really is?
A million players online simultaneously in one zone?
Perhaps not so exaggerated, but during certain pri-ti skin giveaway events, tens of thousands of players online simultaneously are definitely present...
Cultivation Fantasy can’t temporarily reach this level, not even half. After all, the audiences of these two gas are different and aren’t fond of cramming into one zone.
However, in Don’t Go Ho: Marbles Storm, so servers have already beco the new "Ionia."
"What are you saying?"
"The server can’t hold anymore, it’s either expand capacity or stop new player registration or server transfers!"
Yang Dong worried that Chen Ba wouldn’t understand and explained specifically, "Zone Three and Zone Five, these two zones, their peak simultaneous online numbers already exceed 500,000, do you know what this concept ans?"
Two zones alone can support a million players online simultaneously, thinking about it feels terrifying, and it’s expected the server can’t hold and will strike.
It’s only fitting that it’s Don’t Leave After School!
If it were another ga, encountering this situation would definitely be jaw-dropping, but if it’s Don’t Leave After School, then it’s not surprising.
"Why are there so many people?"
Chen Ba is also quite puzzled, he knows Don’t Leave After School is popular, especially among office workers, being listed as the top choice for "sneaking in gaplay during work."
No matter how popular it is, the growth rate of players is always regular, and trackable.
What does it an?
It ans no matter how booming Don’t Leave After School is, player growth happens little by little, impossible to pop out tens or hundreds of thousands of new players instantly.
Precisely because of this, Chen Ba is very confident about the capacity limits of Zone Three and Zone Five, believing these two zones will not have to worry about being "filled up" for years.
