Michael Tsai, the anchor who has been very active in the recent turmoil over NetEase and Blizzard's reunion, suddenly released a lot of important content about Blizzard and NetEase's breakup and remarriage during Douyu live broadcast today. After watching it, Xiao Tan felt that he was bitter. Waiting for the players in Blizzard's national server to get some help, I will organize the live broadcast content as follows.
#1. Is the source reliable? Is there any news yet?
M: I started receiving messages in December. The last detailed message I received was January 6. I have not received any messages now, and I have also been named and banned.
2. Has the contract between Blizzard and NetEase been signed?
M: The agreement between NetEase and Blizzard has been signed a long time ago, and it is not this month. After the agreement is signed, there is no "legal clause that listed companies must announce the contract", so there will be no official announcement of these two companies. The company’s own considerations.
Xiao Tan personally has doubts about this article because Zhang Dong clearly said that an agency agreement must be signed to submit the version number for review, and the listed company that signed the agency agreement must make an announcement.
3. How to resolve the existing lawsuits?
M: The current lawsuits are not a problem. They are all civil lawsuits and can be withdrawn at any time. Among the existing lawsuits, the one on January 11th is the most important.
In addition, Blizzard’s compensation to NetEase has long been in place. It is probably several million US dollars. You can check it in Activision Blizzard’s financial report for the first quarter of last year.
4. Why haven’t you made any news lately?
M: Because I was named and silenced, and it’s not cost-effective to break the news. If I say the right thing, I won’t get any favors, and if I say the wrong thing, I’ll get scolded.
5. Why are NetEase and Blizzard not in a hurry?
M: Don’t be impatient, players. Some people are more impatient than players. NetEase’s first goal must be to open before the Spring Festival. Only opening before the Spring Festival can meet the interests of many parties. It is even possible that even if there is a problem with the server, we will find a way to start the server first.
6. Are there any incentives for joining the Warcraft community of NetEase Master APP?
Like ordinary self-media platforms, there are traffic subsidies.
7. Will there be any return activities when the server opens?
M: There will be return activities, free return gift packs, and even know the contents of some of the gift packs. There are definitely mounts in World of Warcraft, but he will not reveal the detailed gift pack contents because he has been banned. Clearly not allowed to say.
8. How is the player's data? Will there be deleted data?
M: There is no problem with our data at all. This is an important tool for NetEase’s negotiations. We will never give it up, and we should not buy or sell urns.
9. Why hasn’t NetEase made an official announcement?
M: There are still problems with the server, which may be one of the reasons. The current stress test cannot pass, and we have to wait for Blizzard employees to deal with it.
10. When will NetEase Blizzard make an official announcement?
Chef Cai’s personal opinion is that there is a high probability that it will be officially announced next week. But this is not inside information, just personal speculation.
11. When will the national server be launched?
Chef Cai made it clear that he does not know when the server will be launched, but NetEase will work hard to launch the server during the Spring Festival.
12. Will there be a special game version for the Chinese server?
M: Since the current version of each Blizzard game has exceeded that of the national server, for example, World of Warcraft has a small version every two months, and there are 6 versions a year. There are currently too many versions. It is unlikely that a separate version of the national server will be launched. It will be too difficult to catch up. The progress of major games is most likely to be synchronized with the world.
In addition, the influence of World of Warcraft Classic Server (TBC or WLK) in foreign countries is limited, and it is unlikely to open a WLK Classic Server specifically for the national server.
13. Why did NetEase and Blizzard break up?
M: The acquisition of Microsoft is the biggest reason. The difference between the six-month or one-year contract extension revealed by Star Star Old Boy is not the core.
Xiaotan thinks this is also doubtful, because Blizzard’s announcement clearly stated that it requested a six-month renewal, and NetEase did clearly respond to its request to compete with other friends. Businesses are equal and cannot just sign for 6 months.
14. How is the recall of old employees of Shanghai Netzhiyi going?
M: The progress is good. The 8th is the last batch of recalls, and everyone can start working now.
Xiaotan has watched the entire live broadcast. Overall, the relevant news is still very positive. At least Michael Tsai clearly stated that NetEase and Blizzard have signed a contract. This can put the hearts of the majority of players at ease. In the stomach.
Of course, this revelation is just a word from Michael Tsai’s family. Don’t believe it. Just treat it as gossip and have fun reading it.
In short, Xiao Tan, like all Blizzard gamers, hopes that the national server will be officially announced and launched as soon as possible, so that everyone’s enthusiasm aroused by the announcement on December 25 will not be extinguished again.
The above is the detailed content of Uncle Blizzard's most detailed exposure: The national server may be officially announced next week and 14 pieces of inside information will be revealed. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
