Urban Black Technology Boss

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the closed beta of "Stargate: Expedition", in addition to the 150 bionic robot waiters provided by Tang Long, [-] employees of Longteng International Headquarters also gave up the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

200 employees worked hard for four days, so that the sea trip of 5000 players went smoothly.

So after the internal testing activities ended, Tang Long immediately gave these employees a 7-day vacation.

Although the server is hosted by intelligent AI, it can run normally without human supervision.

But he wanted to control the game progress of "Stargate: Expedition", and he didn't want players to improve the military rank of the game just by playing with their livers.

So under the pretext of updating and maintaining, the game server was shut down.

According to Tang Long's idea, the player's military rank is best improved by earning points and meritorious service through actual combat in the parallel world.

It's just that in the last few days, Tang Long has to go back to Linjiang City to resettle his parents and Song Qingwan's family, and he doesn't have time to go to the world of "Stargate SG-1" to fight. Naturally, the parallel world cannot open up new battlefields.

He can only use "Game of Thrones" and other virtual games to distract players.

In the original plan, after the closed beta, 5000 commemorative virtual helmets should be sent to players by express delivery on the first day of the game's official release.

It will take at least three to five days for these internal beta players to receive the virtual helmets, just in time for Avril Lavigne to perfect "Game of Thrones".

However, before the end of the internal test, these internal test players strongly demanded to disembark and bring their virtual helmets home with them.

In line with the idea of ​​thinking for the player, Tang Long agreed to the player's request.

Unexpectedly, after these people returned home without a night, they clamored to restart the server. Now Tang Long was depressed and didn't know what to say.

The group soon came to the underground parking lot and got into the white Porsche Panamera driven by Sonny.

After getting in the car and sitting down, Liu Jinghui took out the [Explorer] mobile phone on his body and tapped it a few times, then pointed to the 3D holographic screen in front of him and said:

"Brother Tang, look at this post, which has received tens of thousands of replies, it is the "Letter of Protest" issued by the players."

Tang Long frowned and looked over, only to see a "Letter of Protest" marked in red in the middle of the screen:
[Players who participated in the closed beta of "Stargate: Expeditions".

After the event ended, Longteng International did not choose to continue to open the internal test server to the outside world, but closed it mercilessly.

This behavior of ignoring our opinions has seriously hurt our feelings and rights.

We have sent suggestions many times, but have not received effective responses.

We can't get used to this kind of shop bullying behavior, we have to take action.

Now, I am launching a protest letter action on the forum.

All players who opposed Longteng International's closure of the internal test server took action. Since they have not responded for a long time, we will let them know how loud our voice is.

Users who joined the protest, please reply in a unified format, and attach your [Explorer] mobile phone user ID. 】

Under the "Protest Letter", there are tens of thousands of replies:
"Why shut down the server? The virtual helmet that was awarded to us was taken home to eat ashes?!"

"I'm so pissed off, I made more than a dozen phone calls to customer service, and no one answered positively when the server will be opened!"

"Please, can you reopen the virtual server, even if you charge a point card and charge by the hour."

"It really doesn't work. It's okay to charge money to open a VIP. I'm willing to pay a monthly subscription to watch "Game of Thrones."

"I beg you to reopen the internal test server, even if it's only open for 8 hours a day!"

"..." Tang Long looked at the protest letter and was speechless for a long time.

What are these sand sculpture players doing...

Isn't it the practice of all game operators to shut down the internal test server after the internal test event is over?
Doesn't the game development team need time to fix bugs and add other new content?
Even if "Stargate: Expedition" has been perfected and there is no need to fix bugs, the employees of Longteng International game development team should also rest!

Besides, this closed beta event confiscated a penny from the players, and Tang Long didn't plan to make money from the game, so why should he listen to them?

"Leave them alone, and didn't let them spend a penny, why should I work overtime?" Tang Long replied a little annoyed.

According to the normal procedure, after the first closed beta of any game, it will take at least ten days and a half months before the second closed beta is considered.

Now that 8 hours have passed, these players are clamoring to reopen the server. Do you really think this game is opened by yourself? !
In addition, due to confidentiality reasons, Tang Long is the only person in the Longteng International game development team.

Reopening the game server means that he has to work overtime to keep an eye on the background, so as to avoid bugs that Avril Lavigne can't handle or are ignored like last time.

Liu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, not understanding the connection between reopening the game server and requiring Tang Long to work overtime.

But these internal beta players are not ordinary players, and the company can't just offend them.

After deliberating for a while, Liu Jinghui tentatively asked: "Brother Tang, most of these players are our VIP users, so it's not good to just ignore them?"

After a pause, he continued: "If it's really not possible, let the game development team open the virtual world of "Game of Thrones" for a few more days, so as to appease the players' emotions."

Liu Jinghui understands the difficulties of the game development team. As the world's first full-stealth virtual reality online game, the development work of "Stargate: Expedition" must be very heavy.

After finally taking 7 days off, these foreign colleagues must need to rest.

However, the virtual world of "Game of Thrones" does not involve game content, and it is appropriate to open it up for players to pass the time.

Then again, the world of "Game of Thrones" is so real that Liu Jinghui couldn't enjoy it all night, and he wants to play for a few more days.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter clearly, Song Qingwan on the side also interrupted and said:

"Aaron, Xiaohui is right. Most of these players are users who have purchased the luxury version [Explorer] mobile phone. The company still needs to meet their needs."

"Okay, I'll inform the development team to change the test plan, and the server will be opened in a while." Tang Long nodded with a bit of a smile on his face.

He forgot that most of these internal beta players are VIP clients carefully selected by Avril Lavigne, and for the sake of the company's future development, they really can't be easily offended.

In fact, whether it is a [Virtual Helmet] or a [Virtual Reality Game Room], if you want to fully experience the game content, you need the cooperation of the [Explorer] mobile phone.

Only players with [Explorer] mobile phones can project the virtual screen in the virtual game through the 3D holographic projection function on the mobile phone (or display it on the LCD screen).

Similarly, any player who wants to take screenshots or record videos in the game can only do so through the built-in APP on the [Explorer] mobile phone.

In other words, [Virtual Helmet] and [Explorer] mobile phone are bundled together.

Since the game server is going to be reopened, it is necessary to think of a suitable solution to balance the player and his needs.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Long took out his mobile phone to contact Avril Lavigne, and issued a series of orders.

At the same time, Longteng International's official website released an announcement to reopen the internal test server.
