With and Blizzard announcing that the contract with NetEase will not be renewed next year, it is still unclear where the Chinese server players will go. Although there is still a month until the Chinese server is suspended, many players have stopped playing online, and many have already gone to the international server to play games. However, what players never expected was that the foreign server would actually "die" earlier than the national server.
In the Chinese server, the studio can be said to be an existence that players are accustomed to. Due to the huge market interests, both the official server and the nostalgic server are full of the studio's footprints. From leveling up to equipment acquisition, power leveling and fighting can be done for you, and the advertisements for the studio in the collection stone of the official server are overwhelming.
However, just as the Chinese server is about to close down and the number of people has dropped to freezing point, the foreign server (especially the Asian server) has ushered in a wave of crazily queuing on the server. Especially at night, the number of people queuing in the prime time slot has exceeded thousands. Blizzard was also forced to open an international server label in the Asian server and opened three servers to accommodate the "players" of the Chinese server. The reason is very simple. Although there are not many players going to foreign servers yet, the studio has already planned to transfer them all.
If you have been in Hellfire Peninsula of the Asian server, then you must have seen the terrifying army of DK scripts.
The scripts that are constantly being transferred in one place are those that belong to the wild monster spawning or collection. There are also a large number of dungeon spawning scripts. The studios have allocated the tasks of the DK army very properly, each performing their own duties and simultaneously producing a large amount of gold coins. Search for any dungeon in the Asian server, and all that will come out is the DK army. Can you imagine that now that we have reached the WLK version, they are still working tirelessly on the level 70 ecological ship , Mana Tomb, Shadow Labyrinth and even the Dark Temple raid?
Today's script has already evolved to such a terrifying point. The studio only needs to press a button, and the DKs will work all night to brush these productive copies according to the arranged monster spawning method.
Faced with the frenzy of studios like the Scourge, the GM of Blizzard Asia was almost helpless. Although they were also frantically banning accounts, it still didn't help. According to the Asian server official website forum, in the latest account banning operation in mid-December, GMs blocked approximately 10,000 Classic Server Battle.net accounts in one day, and all of them were permanently banned. This doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent for studios, however.
Xiao O has previously introduced to you a method used by studios to cheat Blizzard. They use foreign black credit cards to create Battle.net accounts and then refund the money without any reason within 7 days. In this way, the studio is not afraid of Blizzard's account ban at all.
"Create an account, be blocked, refund, create an account..." Such a cost-free industry chain has been established.
On the contrary, the normal players who were mistakenly banned by GM in these actions against the studio are suffering, because the Asian server is not like the Chinese server. After being mistakenly banned, mainland players have almost no channels to appeal.
In just this month, a large number of players have said that they have never used script plug-ins to upgrade normally or have been permanently banned from battlefield upgrades, but there is nothing they can do. The claws of the
studio have been stretched a bit recently. Not only are they using various DK armies to collect gold through AFK, but various power leveling businesses are also in full swing. The monthly card of Xiao O Asia Server has long expired, but trial accounts within level 20 of the official server can still be online. I created a BE account a few days ago and was surprised when I first launched it. At present, whether it is the birthplace of various races or the ship on the exile island, it has already been completely occupied by the studio, and various "1-60-70" power-leveling refreshes fill the entire screen.
As a newly created character, I will be really shocked when I see this scene.
Judging from the current situation, if the national server is closed directly after next year, or cannot be reopened for a long period of time, all the studios that are still doing business in the national server will go to foreign servers, and problems such as the collapse of the economic system caused by crazy gold farming will also follow. No grass grows wherever the "Army of Scourge" goes, so is the blizzard self-inflicted?
