Recently, Blizzard and NetEase broke up, resulting in the Chinese server of " World of Warcraft " being about to cease operations. Many players also immediately switched to the Asian server, but their experiences in the Asian server were really miserable.
Many players shared their experiences in the Asian server. For example, after some players in the Asian server were black golded by the group leader, the GM said that the black gold group leader would be banned, but the gold coins could not be returned to the players. This is really a terrible thing for players who are used to playing the national server.
What’s even more speechless is that many people have experienced inexplicable account bans, and the crime is all “abuse of game mechanics”.
And these players said that they did not use scripts at all. To put it bluntly, many of these account bans in the Asian server were caused by accidents. The reason is that the operation team is too weak. As long as an abnormality is found in the account, there will be no manual verification at all, and they will just send an email to them.
At this time, players all miss the benefits of NetEase’s national server.
For example, the Chinese server’s handling of black gold is much more reasonable. As long as the team leader is reported, he will basically be banned immediately, and if the team leader transfers gold coins unprofessionally and not quickly enough, the player will still receive most of the gold coins.
For things like account ban, NetEase will also have manual verification to avoid accidentally killing normal game players.
After being bullied in the Asian server, many players who had been to the Asian server came back and are waiting for the latest news from the Chinese server. In the days when the national server is about to be absent, NetEase itself has also come up with some countermeasures to give players "hope."
For example, NetEase recently mobilized the resources of the entire company to let its Nishuihan launch a "Warcraft Veteran Server" so that NetEase's veteran Warcraft players can feel like going home.
Ni Shuihan is a popular martial arts MMO launched by NetEase in 2018. In the four years since its operation, it has launched many gameplay methods that follow the trend, such as auto chess, floating boat island chicken, open world gameplay, etc.
Therefore, seeing the veteran NetEase Warcraft players being displaced and being bullied when they went to the Asian server, Nishuihan also arranged a group of "Warcraft Veterans" themed servers for NetEase's veteran players after receiving the assignment from the company.
This group of servers is said to be tailored according to the gaming habits of veteran World of Warcraft players. For example, the confrontation between the two camps will be more obvious; the equipment system will be greatly streamlined, and development materials will be mainly produced through game behaviors; some equipment dropped by copies will adopt a pick-up and binding mechanism, etc.
As for the charging model, Veteran Server will adopt a pure point card system - it only costs 60 cents per hour, with a cap of 54 yuan, which is dozens of yuan cheaper than the monthly card of World of Warcraft.
In order to show his sincerity, Ni Shuihan will also give all players who pre-ordered the World of Warcraft theme server a frost sword weapon skin, as well as Pegasus Invincible (which can fly), and the emotional card is also played.
After Ni Shuihan’s “Warcraft Veteran Server” was announced, not only the individual Warcraft veteran players expressed their expectations, but it is said that many big guilds of Warcraft are also on their way to form groups to enter the pit.
At least, when the national server of Warcraft was about to cease operations, NetEase did not give up on the players of the national server.
Seeing that NetEase is so considerate for the veteran players of Warcraft, everyone misses the days of NetEase's national server even more. It's a pity that Blizzard and NetEase broke up this time, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get back together.
During these days, it’s better to wait for news about the national server and find some comfort in NetEase’s “Warcraft Veteran Server”.
Those players who are still on the Player Asia server, how are you?
