Unlike the imaginary free mall, which has all kinds of gems and a lot of messy things, there are too few things in DNF's mall.

Few of them are a little worried about whether this free game can make Tianhe Network make money.

There are a total of three things sold inside, namely resurrection coins, fashion and speakers.

Although the game is divided into various regions, each region is also divided into various channels. This speaker is a prop that allows all channels in the entire region to see the speaker's speech.

Moreover, although the fashion has added attributes, Yang Chen and Wang Fa also took a look. Compared with equipment and weapons, the added attributes of fashion are really low, at least in their opinion.

"These fashions have added attributes, but they are so expensive!" Looking at the price of the fashions, Wang Fa couldn't help but smack his lips. A minimum of 15RMB coupons is required for each part. Wang Fa calculated the whole set, the cheapest It costs about 125 yuan, and the most expensive one is 199 yuan.

"Normal. After all, DNF is a free online game. It's impossible to really have no payment points at all, and this attribute is not added much. The whole set only adds so much power and intelligence. My skill 'Soul Blade Kazan' ' Added more than him." Yang Chen didn't care too much, at least in his opinion, compared to those online games where you can directly buy enhanced gems and lucky gems in the mall, at least for now, DNF is really not bad. Fair enough.

"Hey, did you find out that these suits don't need to be bought permanently, they can even be rented! The 199 suits only cost 19.9RMB for 30 days." Suddenly discovered something, Wang Fa said to Yangchen in surprise.

"If you buy a time-limited one, then I might as well buy a permanent one. I can use it whenever I want." Yang Chen said, "If you don't have stamina medicine, let's just sell it. If you're tired, you can't go into the picture and brush out something. Picking up, and you can't form a team yet, it's a bit boring, why don't we go to the PK field and we will fight two? Let's see which is better, Ghost Swordsman or Sharpshooter, anyway, after level 10, you can enter the duel field."

"Alright, play two, and then we'll practice another trumpet to see if other professions are fun to play." Wang Fa nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"However, this game is really fun." Wang Fa said while manipulating the game and entering the arena.

"Well, the impact is pretty good. Although it's 2D, the combo inside is very smooth, and the skills are awesome, and the dubbing of the plot is great. It's worthy of Tianhe Network's game." Yang Chen nodded.

"Yes, but the most important thing is that this fighting game is still relatively casual. It turns out that when I play other games with a single copy, I have to quit the game directly. , and a tube of fatigue will be used up in about two hours, not liver at all."

The two of you glanced at each other, and I said without a word.

There are many, many DNF players like the two of them.

After the fatigue value was cleared, many people entered the duel field to start their own PK road, and some of them recreated the trumpet to start a new round of adventure in the Arad continent.

Regarding the situation of DNF, major companies have also been paying attention. Although they are not optimistic about DNF, after all, 2D games, and it is not a turn-based fighting game with arcade horizontal scrolling. game.

If it was a game from an ordinary small company, it would definitely not even glance at it, but this is a game from Tianhe Network.

"The server is fully loaded! The number of online players has reached 900,000, and players are already queuing up!"

In the DNF project team, the team members shouted in surprise.

A total of 6 regions have been opened, each region has a total of 75 channels, and each channel can accommodate 2,000 players, but even so, it has already been fully loaded.

Fortunately, the relevant preparations are still in place, the server is not a problem, even if there are another 1 million players, they can all be accommodated.

"How's the player's feedback in the forum?" Chuhe asked as he looked at the DNF team.

"It's great. Except for the navy sunspot who didn't know who invited them, most of the players are very satisfied." The supervisor of the customer service department responded immediately.

"The server has been opened for 3 hours, and the current top-up turnover is 1 million!" After the statistics were calculated, someone announced the good news.

As a new game, and there is no deep digging in terms of payment points, it is already amazing to break through 1 million turnover in three hours, and the more important point is that DNF is not the kind of game that is amazing at the beginning and weak in the follow-up.

On the contrary, at the beginning of DNF, there is no way to fully understand the fun of the game. In the later stage, various difficult dungeons appear. Players form a team to clear the dungeons. After changing jobs, the characters learn more powerful skills. In order to pursue higher-level equipment, After the challenge of the abyss party and the fierce PK in the duel field after the player has more skills, then the player can experience the real fun of the game.

For games, especially free online games, Chuhe has always believed that only when ordinary players, the so-called civilians and poor players, can experience all the game content, can they become evergreen.

What is the local tyrant charging money for? In fact, the main purpose is to show off.

You mean combat power? Please, that's just an excuse to stay on the surface, the real core purpose is to show off, to satisfy one's own vanity.

Ordinarily, what is the purpose of playing games with players who charge a little money and do not charge money?

The main purpose is of course to pass some time. In the minds of this type of players, the game is actually not that important.

Can't play a game without charging money, and can't play all the content?

Then just change to another game, a game that allows them to experience all the content of the game, or a game that is doomed to fail even a copy without paying money, what will they choose?

I believe this is an undoubted thing, and for local tyrants who charge money, a game can show off in front of ten people and satisfy their vanity after charging money, and a game can play 10,000 yuan after charging money. Individuals, or even a game to show off in front of 100,000 people, even if they can't play ten games as before, but more players who are willing to spend money will still choose the latter, because the player base is here.

"Don't be too happy too early. The name of Tianhe Network and a lot of promotion in the early stage, although this result is dazzling, it is not so unbelievable. The follow-up player retention rate is the most critical thing." Chuhe looked at DNF's planning team said.

The number of people at the start of the game can only be used as a good start, and the follow-up player retention rate is the real test of a game.

Especially the retention rate of the next day, the retention rate of three days and the retention rate of seven days, the data obtained in these two time periods are the most accurate.

Previously, Penguin developed a national war online game, and the advertising cost invested in the early stage was astonishing. On the first day of server launch, 1.5 million people were online at the same time, but the retention rate of players was only 40% the next day, and only 25% in three days. After seven days, the player retention rate dropped to 10%.

One month later, the total number of players was only 120,000, and the merged server started less than two months after the opening of the server, and stopped operating directly after half a year.

Generally speaking, for an online game, the retention rate of the next day is 50%, the retention rate of the three days is 40%, and the retention rate of the seven days is 25%. This figure is basically qualified.

In Chuhe's mind, DNF is considered qualified if the player retention rate can reach more than 30% after seven days.

"Also, it will be almost a month before the National Day. According to the numerical value and the game flow, basically the players who entered on the day of the server launch will have reached level 60 at that time, and have started a period of awakening. At that time, they can launch Some activities, such as completing missions to give abyss tickets, completing missions to give percentage recovery potions, equipment level adjustment boxes, and festival-limited fashions in the mall, and the lottery box, operation planning and art. Make a design." Chu He looked at the crowd and said.

These things must be launched. After all, DNF is a free game, and the cost has exceeded 100 million including R\u0026D costs and advertising. Originally, Chuhe wanted to make it a new blood transfusion bank, not here. Looking for ways to make money?

How can it be!

And the most important point is that the manufacturers such as Penguin, Wangyi and Shengda next to them are ugly, and Chuhe is absolutely sure to make DNF stand out against the backdrop of his peers.

When these manufacturers cut leeks, they never let go of the roots. Chuhe's philosophy is much more gentle. After all, the highest state of cutting leeks is that you clearly cut off others, and others think you are very conscientious.
