Chapter 97 Tianlong must be resurrected

"I understand now. Thank you for your guidance."

"What's there to thank? Chen Mo transferred me here precisely so we could work together."

Wei Yan waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes, work together."

Fang Chang nodded in agreement, then called Zhao Bowen over. He was ready to start changing the situation at Tianlong.

Not long after,

Zhao Bowen arrived at the office.

"Manager Fang, what are your instructions?"

"I called you to understand the current situation at Tianlong. Haven't you been keeping up with Tianlong's affairs recently? Tell me everything you know."

Fang Chang said.

"Oh, that. I know about Tianlong's matters."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bowen instantly became interested. For the past two days after work, in order to understand Tianlong's specific situation, he had been playing every day. It was just that the drop rate was really low.

Then, he began to explain the details of Tianlong's situation thoroughly.

"That's all. Almost everyone entering the game now is doing so to farm equipment and sell it for money."

After listening to Zhao Bowen's explanation, Fang Chang fell into deep thought.

After a long while,

He slowly looked up.

"It seems the key to truly reviving the game is how to transform these gold-farming players into genuine players."

Wei Yan also seemed to be deep in thought and said,

"I don't know much about games, but I do have some insights on the matter of collecting equipment in games."

"The reason the game can attract so many players now is entirely because someone is spending money to buy equipment. But if the people buying equipment disappear, those farming equipment probably won't play anymore."

"So I think we must always pay attention to the group of people buying equipment. Once they stop buying equipment, we need to respond appropriately, for example, by spending our own money to buy back the equipment."

"Of course, the price we buy back doesn't need to be too high, a few thousand will do. As long as those gold farmers know that someone is still buying equipment, and that the equipment they farm can still be purchased, that's enough."

"This is also why Chen Mo requested that the equipment drop rate be adjusted to the absolute lowest. Only by adjusting the drop rate to the lowest will it be difficult for gold farmers to obtain equipment, and thus, it will also be difficult for those buying equipment to collect a full set."

As Wei Yan spoke, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Chen Mo had thought of this long ago!

Fang Chang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Chen Mo just invested a sum of money into the new project, stating that surplus funds can be used for the operation of other games."

"If that group of people buying equipment really stops, we can just use the surplus funds to buy back equipment."

"Furthermore, the equipment drop rate can be adjusted further. It's already at its lowest, but other settings can be made."

"For example, an item of equipment can be set to have a zero drop rate within a certain period, meaning it won't drop no matter how much you farm."

"This can also minimize equipment drops and extend the acquisition time for those buying equipment."

At this point,

The few of them exchanged glances, their thoughts becoming clearer and clearer.

Zhao Bowen also spoke at this time.

"Through playing the game these past two days, I've roughly understood that there are many old players who have quit. The main reason for most of them quitting is that the late-game pay-to-win aspect is too severe, and some mid-to-low-tier players have no game experience whatsoever."

"If the pay-to-win aspect is resolved and some game playability is added, I think these old players are highly likely to stay."

Fang Chang echoed Zhao Bowen's words.

"Exactly, this is also why Chen Mo's final set of equipment was not set to be paid for, but rather set to drop from wild monsters."

"If that's the case, I think we can develop a batch of free equipment. This equipment can directly replace the equipment purchased with money."

"Then, increase the drop rate of this equipment so that players can obtain equipment and increase their combat power as quickly as possible."

"Game levels are the same. Considering that players who quit and some new players have fallen too far behind in game character levels, the experience of low-level wild monsters in the early game can be increased to allow them to quickly level up."

"If the equipment gap and level gap are all resolved, then the game experience will be greatly improved."

After Fang Chang finished speaking, Wei Yan spoke at the appropriate moment.

"Setting some free equipment to replace expensive noble equipment is fine, but I think we also need to consider the feelings of those noble players who spend money."

"After all, there's still a 100,000-set of equipment. If it's easily replaced, it's a bit unreasonable."

"I think the drop rate for the replacement of this 100,000-set equipment can be lowered, so that players don't get it too easily."

Fang Chang nodded upon hearing this.

"That's right, we can't completely ignore noble players. We must give them a unique feeling. We can set up a few sets of more elaborate clothes."

"These clothes cannot change the combat power of the game character, but they can change the appearance of the game character and some skill effects."

"At that time, these equipment will be distributed to players' mailboxes one by one, according to their noble level."

"This way, both game balance and the uniqueness of noble players can be ensured."

After Fang Chang finished speaking, Zhao Bowen suggested,

"Playing the game these past two days, I've found that Tianlong's current game characters are too singular. I think we can add more characters, such as warlocks, archers, and other different professions."

"Each profession has a different role, and corresponding equipment and skill books can be set according to the different professions."

"Moreover, these professions can cooperate with each other to exert stronger combat power."

"Then, we can set up a few very powerful super BOSSes. Only by players cooperating can they kill them, and then set some rewards on these BOSSes that cannot be farmed from other wild monsters."

Fang Chang and Wei Yan nodded in agreement upon hearing Zhao Bowen's suggestions.

If designed this way, the game would indeed become more interesting.

Then, the few of them had another detailed discussion.

Finally,

Fang Chang gently tapped the table and said,

"Then it's settled. The primary task is to solve the game balance issue first. The replacement equipment is easy to modify; just make some changes to the original noble equipment models. Since it's a replacement, the values can remain consistent."

"Then there's the game's playability, which can be fully implemented according to Zhao Bowen's suggestions."

"Considering that the people buying equipment could stop at any time, this change must be fast."

"The company currently has over 50 employees. I've decided to only keep a few basic employees to maintain the operation of the new project, and all others will be put into the reform of Tianlong."

Fang Chang stood up in front of the desk, his eyes radiating an unprecedented glow.

This time, he was determined to bring Tianlong back to its peak.

Clothing Factory,

Yang Dahai slowly parked the car at the company entrance.

Chen Mo had just gotten out of the car when he instinctively sneezed twice.
