Blizzard and NetEase are a major event in the recent game world. The gods fight and the players are injured. At present, the date of "suspension of servers" for Blizzard Games has been set, but there is no news about the so-called "replacement" to start over again. NetEase is complaining about Blizzard's various "arrogance", but Blizzard remains silent, and players are only nervous. So, will the Warcraft bid farewell to the Chinese server? Blizzard's latest response poured cold water on players.
is like the cycle of WLK nostalgic server, and the monster has also entered the "proxy change" stage with Lich King again. Unlike 14 years ago, this time, the "agent change" is coming in full force. After Blizzard suddenly announced the suspension of national server operations, he did not mention who the new agent would be!
4 years ago, it was a proxy change, but now it is "stopped" . This is the biggest difference between the two and it is also the most tangled thing for players. Uncertaining the new agent means there is no exact time to reopen the server. Facing the upcoming era of dragons, how can players not be in a hurry?
In fact, NetEase has already suggested that Blizzard has not found a new takeover party, but most people only think that this is NetEase putting pressure on players, or deliberately conveying the message to players that no one except NetEase dares to take over Warcraft.
If NetEase's words are not credible, then Blizzard's response can now confirm that the new agent has not yet been generated. After simply thanking the players for their company, Blizzard said, ", we are looking for opportunities to bring our game back to everyone in the future. " is very clear, that is, no new agent has been found yet!
4 years ago, the Warcraft was still a hot commodity. Before the 9Ch era ended, we already knew that NetEase would be the next "Lich King". Now the NetEase era is about to end, but there is no new "Lich King" in the figure.
Several major manufacturers expressed their intention to take over as the "Lich King" under the wishful thinking of players. This may be the mistake of Blizzard. Warcraft is no longer the monster from 14 years ago. It has changed from a hot cake to a hot potato. The result of Blizzard's choice not to cooperate with NetEase may be that both sides will suffer. , and players who have put in more than ten years of hard work.
It can be foreseen that Warcraft will start a long "server suspension" state. You should know that NetEase and Blizzard discussed renewal for a year, and the final result was the result of "server suspension at expiration".
Partners who have worked together for 14 years will need to negotiate for a year. It is conceivable how long it will take for a new agent to reach an agreement. The key is that the server has been "stopped" here, and the new agent can definitely use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Blizzard . It is like a shop. When someone rents it, the landlord is the initiative, and when it is vacant, the tenant is more proactive, let alone this is a game. The longer the server is stopped, the more serious the player loss is.
It has come to this point, and the chances of NetEase and Blizzard shaking hands and making peace can be said to be slim, which is not a good thing for players. Even if a new agent has been confirmed, version number , forming an operation team, setting up a server, etc., these are all work that takes a lot of time. It is ideal to see the return of Warcraft within a year after is stopped. At present, it seems that the difficulty is like the warden reshaping the world.
In short, I hope to see a turning point in the past two months, but NetEase's attitude is obviously that it has broken the face with Activision Blizzard . It is really a bit doubtful whether Blizzard has the ability to deal with the complex environment of the national server. The result of arrogance may be that it will hit a wall everywhere. Entering the indefinite "stop servers" is another turning point for Warcraft. There will never be a nostalgic server that can give Warcraft a New Year in the future. #NetEase Blizzard terminates cooperation#
