There are still 30 days left before the closure of Blizzard’s national server (excluding Diablo Immortal). NetEase Zhang Dong posted on Weibo that a post from NGA is the closest, as shown below
Who is NetEase Zhang Dong? He is currently the legal representative and executive director of NetEase, and is considered a relatively authoritative official figure in NetEase. Let me summarize the content of the post below.
Blizzard wants NetEase to open a port, and the players' data will be saved by the players themselves, which is what the players call "electronic urn" and "cyber coffin board". The main reason why Blizzard took this step is that it has not found a successor in China, and how player data is defined, such as "player registration data", "player game data", and "payment information in players' normal consumption records". Neither Blizzard nor NetEase were able to obtain payment information from The9. The share ratio required by Blizzard for
is very high. This hot potato has not been taken over by major domestic game companies, so the possibility of reopening the national server is zero.
version number reason. Even if you find the next company to take over, you still have to apply for a version number again, which takes a long time. Even if the national server is really opened, will players still consume as before? Does Blizzard still have credibility? Even if
can save the game data in the players' hands and can perfectly copy it to the Asian server, how many people will go to the Asian server by then?
The current situation of Activision Blizzard's is worrying. Call of Duty 19 can be run on Steam without Battle.net. The Diablo 4 physical collector's edition is on pre-sale for US$96.66 (approximately RMB 673), and does not include the game! ! It attracted a lot of criticism from outside the Internet. The most perfect ending is that , Microsoft and will successfully acquire Blizzard, and Microsoft and NetEase will renew their contract, but it will be difficult, and the Microsoft acquisition may not be completed smoothly.
Let’s talk about Lao Dong’s own views. I am a World of Warcraft player. When I was in college, I often played PVP with my classmates. After graduation, I have less time to play games, but when I have time on weekends, I will go online to chat with friends and write notebooks. The World of Warcraft national server is about to close. It's like something that carries a lot of your memories has been taken away by others. It's a bit reluctant and a bit regretful. I don’t know who is right or wrong between NetEase and Blizzard. I know that the injured are the players.
