Recently, Blizzard Games and NetEase Games have announced the agency agreement between World of Warcraft China region. The issue of whether the two parties renew the contract has become a hot topic for players to pay attention to. However, in a while, World of Warcraft domestic server players ushered in sad news. Blizzard and NetEase successively issued statements confirming that they will stop cooperation and will not renew the contract. This also means that the contract expires, that is, in January 2023, all online games under Blizzard, including World of Warcraft nostalgic server, will be temporarily suspended.
You should know that after the last time the server was suspended 13 years ago, when Jiucheng and Netease exchanged agents, players were stagnant in the ten thousand years TBC version and missed the early stage of WLK, especially the entire Odur group book. Unexpectedly, the nostalgic server has encountered the same thing again. I have to say that this nostalgic server is really considerate. Even the matter of discontinuing the server and changing the agent must be perfectly replicated. After the server is suspended, how should the player's account characters and related content be handled after the server is suspended, and what kind of compensation will the player get? NetEase has also released a specific plan on Warcraft, mainly including two contents.
1, player's character information and related account data will be temporarily blocked. This is the most basic operation, which ensures that after changing the agent, it will not affect any game data and character equipment of the player.
2. If the player contains virtual currency (war network points) that has been recharged in the game, and the related items (game time) that have been recharged but have not been consumed, and the related items (game time) that have been paid after payment can be returned to the player in the future.
However, for Warcraft players, the so-called server discontinuation processing method and compensation plan are not painful. What players really care about is how long the server discontinuation time is and whether there are other game agents to take over. These are the most important things. However, from the current perspective, Warcraft players have relatively negative mentality, and in addition, the time badges in the game have also stopped trading, which has aggravated the players' anxiety and even felt that World of Warcraft will end here. Of course, some nostalgic server players still do not forget to do their jobs during this period.
Some players complained that when the P1 stage of the nostalgic server was just opened, the Great Dark Moon Card was hyped to 30,000 gold. In order to be able to ship smoothly, many goblin merchants praised the great card accessories that can be used in the WLK server, so they were fooled to buy them. At that time, they felt that they were losing money. Now it seems that the goblin merchants are really honest and do not deceive me. These complaints made the players who were sad laugh out loud.
There are still some people who hope that , Tencent can accept the Warcraft agency rights in this server suspension storm, but players who are too familiar with Tencent routines are not optimistic about them. Maybe they will give you the entire Xinyue version of World of Warcraft. At that time, we ordinary players will suffer. As for the upcoming server suspension, Fule wants to say don’t panic, eat and drink, and play as usual when the server is opened. Even if the server cannot be opened smoothly, it is good to spend extra time with your family.
