DAY 170 The hot internal test
Tens of thousands of players who were lucky enough to get an internal test account stayed in front of the computer, adjusted the time, and connected to the main server of World of Warcraft at the same time at 0:00.
More than 1w, nearly 2w internal test players, logging in to the game at almost the same time period, and the amount of traffic generated in an instant is very large, almost exploding the server.
Fortunately, Tianlan Sheide spent a lot of money to buy the world's top server, which can accommodate 2w to 2w 5 people online at the same time. Although, in just a few dozen seconds at 0:00, the player obviously felt stuck, but he quickly returned to normal.
A total of 20,000 accounts were issued. Since the internal test time was 0 o'clock, some players were sleepy, or had to go to work tomorrow and went to bed early, but more than 90% of players were waiting in front of the computer and waited until the internal test was opened.
Within 10 minutes between 0:00 and 0:10, 18,000 players flocked to each novice village (World of Warcraft), with an average of 2,3,000 people per novice village.
Thousands of people were spread on the birth points of several novices maps at the same time. It can be imagined that they were dense and crowded, which was very scary.
Although those players have seen the game screenshots released on the official website of World of Warcraft, they have seen the appearance of the novice village many times.
But when the characters he controls really stand in World of Warcraft.
Everyone was very excited.
"Group of the Legendary Age++++."
"Strengthen our Northeast, haha!"
"A report from Nagyun Province."
"The sugar family is here, come together."
"Xiaoguang, here, team up!"
...
Every novice village is full of lively birth points, and the chat screen next to it is quickly browsing messages, forming teams, ++++, the names of each province, the xx family, have become the most frequently seen words.
Of course, players who intend to reach the level have no time to go bullshit. Based on their past game experience, check the birth point around them and see that there are no npcs with ‘?’ or ‘!’ above their heads.
If there is, there is a task.
With previous game experience, novices can upgrade the fastest to do tasks.
The difficulty is average, and the purpose of the task is to make it familiar with this game and various ** games.
There is an NPC next to the birth point. Vice Captain Veri has a big ‘?’ number above Vice Captain Veri.
I didn't want to delay for a second, so I quickly clicked the mouse and moved it to Vice Captain Veri to receive the task.
Because, they know how important it is to lead everyone the first step, one step ahead, one step ahead.
No one robs monsters, no crowding. When a lot of other players guard a level 1 monster, the one who leads one can kill level 2 monsters. No one robs monsters. Compared with a lot of people guarding a monster to fight, it is simply too happy.
Soon, the situation that emerged confirmed the wisdom of the old birds.
Subsequent players continued to pour in. The birth points of various novice villages were crowded and crowded. If you wanted to click the mouse, you moved to the task npc and found that the mouse had no place to click. If you moved there, you would click on other players. After finally receiving the task, you would hit the monster area. As soon as you moved to the monster area, you were stunned. There were more people than monsters. Every time you brushed out a monster, countless weapons would knock over.
For the experience of a monster, two players will even quarrel. If they weren't pk, they might have chopped them up.
At 2:30 in the morning, the old bird players who are one step ahead are almost ready to leave the novice village, but many players are still spinning at level 3 to 5.

He Dong, one of the lucky ones who obtained the internal beta activation code of World of Warcraft.
I heard that he got an internal test activation code when he played the game of gopher. This made many of his friends very envious of his good luck.
Many people don’t sell the internal test activation code they buy for 200 yuan. You should know that 200 yuan is not much, which is equivalent to his two-day salary.
He refused because he was a game fan himself.
Secondly, after watching the game information given on the official website of World of Warcraft, the screenshots posted, and the video, he was immediately attracted by the exquisite pictures in World of Warcraft, with a very surname, beautiful character shape, pure magic style, grand world view and plot, and a variety of interesting gameplay, as well as a copy with a very challenging surname, testing the tacit understanding, cooperation, sacrifice between the team... He was almost immediately attracted by everything in World of Warcraft. He couldn't wait to enter the (World of Warcraft) game as soon as possible to experience it.
Third, in the minds of many gamers, the word "development of land" is very sacred and very honorable. He was able to enter "World of Warcraft" to open up the land as soon as possible and participate in the development of "World of Warcraft". He felt honored. In the future, when I mentioned it to others, I am a "World of Warcraft" without honor. I participated in the development of "World of Warcraft" and had a very bright face.
Whenever he gets a piece of equipment, completes a task, or kills a small **oss, and posts a screenshot into the q/q group, the "World of Warcraft" post/bar will arouse envy and heated discussions, and a little vanity will arise in his heart. It is very pleasant and it feels great.
However, an internal test activation code can be sold for 200 yuan, which made him very curious.
He opened the "World of Warcraft" post/bar, and at the top, the bar owner specially opened an internal test activation code transaction post.
There are many purchases in the post, most of which are around 200 to 250 yuan, but no one responded.
There are very few people. Whenever a player in the post says that he wants an internal test activation code, it can cause a lot of replies.
The internal test activation code is in short supply!
At 11:30 pm, he came to the Internet cafe, took a water cup in his hand, and soaked some tea leaves in the water cup.
Tea can refresh the spirit.
He plans to stay overnight today, but he won’t go to work tomorrow and rest.
I arrived at the position where I often sat, but fortunately no one sat, otherwise, the customer service station of "World of Warcraft" yesterday would be the next time again. Although the Internet cafe has a great Internet speed, it can be used in more than an hour.
However, wasting more than an hour was unacceptable, especially the period when the internal test was turned on, racing against time.
Although he didn't want to get to the level, he didn't want to fall behind others much, so it would be meaningless.
He Dong sat down and turned on the computer.
There is an icon on the computer desktop, blue frozen background, four big words "World of Warcraft".
He didn't click on the icon. Now at 23:45, there are still 15 minutes left before the internal test opening time announced by the official website of World of Warcraft. Generally, it will be very punctual, and may be a few minutes ahead of time or delayed by a few minutes. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
