A few years ago, I was curious, what kind of users were playing Tanwan Blue Moon?
Later, I learned about the user attributes, and then I discovered that this old game from 20 years ago has been modified into a web version, and the same people are playing it in the past.
Good guy, the game market has been booming for so many years. There are so many high-definition, high-model, and high-impact games emerging one after another. Why can’t we capture the hearts of these users?
After researching old users, I found out that it’s not that they don’t want to play new games, but that they have become accustomed to the design of the past game system. Once a user develops a certain habit, he has no desire to explore new game types. .
I still quite agree with this.
Just like buying clothes and mobile phones, once you get used to wearing a certain brand, using a certain product, and no major problems occur, the brand is like a stamp of thought that will last a lifetime.
Although I am not a die-hard fan of Legendary games, in other online games, the nostalgia of Legendary users has also appeared. This is DNF.
DNF is not the first online game I came into contact with. In fact, when I first started playing online games, I had experienced them in Legend, World of Warcraft, Fantasy, etc.
But at that time, as a poor user in middle and high school, I couldn't experience much happiness in this type of game.
Because I am a member of Lin Chong’s party, and online games at that time had thresholds. Once you reach a certain level, if you don’t top up, you won’t be able to defeat any monsters or draw any pictures. You will either be beaten to death and return to the city, or you will be chased by monsters. On the way, I just felt that this online game was too difficult and not something that a casual user like me could afford.
The only happiness I could get at that time was to follow the big brother from the gang and union, form a team and follow him, and be the younger brother who picked up the slack. The big brother would beat the BOSS and add a set of skills, and easily take away the BOSS. That's not the case for users like us. Basically, if we form a team, we will be wiped out by the team. Later, I gradually lost interest in online games.
It’s been 2008 since I played DNF.
The Olympic Games had just finished at that time, and it seemed that Liu Xiang had retired again that year. The Dream Team that year was simply not too popular.
But what's even more popular is DNF.
At that time, most of the people sitting in the Internet cafe were warriors, and it was very difficult to log in.
Because the servers at that time were basically full, and it took a long time to squeeze in. What was even more disgusting was that after finally squeezing in, after playing for 15 minutes, someone else squeezed me out again. No wonder those years People often say that the city and the warriors are disconnected.
I created an account in the Northwest District, because Hunan District couldn't squeeze in at that time, so I had to settle for some less popular districts.
But there was no such thing as being unpopular at that time. Even in a relatively niche area like the northwest, the streets were still full of warriors. So in this not-so-congested area, I created my first character, a sharpshooter. That's right, in a game full of ghost swords, I settled on the gunman as the next best option.
In fact, I also considered Ghost Sword, but when I opened the game for the first time, I was attracted by the appearance of the gunman at first sight. After all, with silver hair and a mask, isn't this Kakashi? Who can refuse such a handsome sharpshooter? So let him be the first character.
But I regretted it when I reached level 15. In the 60 version of DNF, the sharpshooter was still too weak. It's basically impossible to clear it by just brushing it. I don't know how many red and blue medicines I took at that time, and how many resurrection coins I spent.
The difficulty of this game has increased, and I have instantly returned to the previous mode of playing online games. I can’t play without recharging money. Users like me can't afford to recharge, so forget it.
Just when I was about to give up, my friends who played with me told me that cheating is enough in this game. Upgrading is quick and the second map is awesome. You see, several of my characters will be awakened in a few days.
When I heard that there was such an operation as cheating, it was no less than Columbus discovering the New World. So on his recommendation, I started a new era of cheating and playing DNF.
It was really exciting at first. It was really easy to kill monsters on the map. In just a week or so, my sharpshooter had been transferred to a big gun, and the big gun had reached level 48, reaching the threshold of awakening.
When you wake up, you need to play Mechanical Bull. This copy is super strict and generally cannot be cheated. It is easy to be detected and banned by the system.
But at that time, I didn’t care much about account bans. Although there were always rumors about cheating and being banned, fortunately, the cheat I played wasn’t too abnormal. I didn’t open the full map for seconds, but only doubled the attack. Although there were occasional drops. There are online warnings, but most of the time it is quite stable, and painting pictures is fine.
As a result, I was careless when Mechanical Bull Awakened. I just entered the dungeon and started to disconnect after fighting a few mobs. I thought it was because there were too many people and I was squeezed out, so I logged in again.
I went back and forth several times, but all times were disconnected.
Then when he wanted to log in, he was locked in a small dark room.
Only then did I realize that cheating was punished.
When I went out to read the notice, I was told that it would be closed for a week, which made me very angry.
Rubbish game.
Just one week. Although I feel angry, there is nothing I can do about it. Unexpectedly, when I logged into QQ the next day, I found that I could not log in to QQ either.
It's over, QQ has been stolen.
It is said that QQ is often stolen in cheating sessions. Many friends have tested it in practice, but I just don’t believe in it. After all, I also read some anti-theft strategies, and just change the QQ password to kill viruses every time I open it. This kind of thing is a piece of cake.
But the devil is as good as the devil, and the low-level operation of changing passwords and killing viruses is not easy for experts who specialize in Trojan horses to crack.
My QQ account was completely gone. I asked my friend to use QQ to check it, and found that the online name, avatar, etc. had been changed. I appealed several times myself but failed. In desperation, I lost my 9th user. Count QQ.
Later, the account number was QQ with 10 digits.
My number was given to me by the girl I like. It is probably the only gift she gave me. I still remember it was already winter. Everyone in the house must have a fire.
She said that Shen QQ's hands were frozen at that time, so you have to take good care of it to prevent it from being stolen again.
I smiled and said no.
But I still used this main account to cheat and play DNF, until the same plot happened again. Yes, the account was stolen again.
Fortunately, this time, she helped me set up several questions, and then I directly called the customer service number, and then I got QQ back.
The whole process was really full of twists and turns.
Later, I no longer used this main account to cheat and play games, but I couldn’t play without cheating and DNF. After thinking about it, I applied for several more QQ accounts. It will be no problem to play with these accounts. If it is stolen, it is stolen. It doesn't matter.
As a result, I practiced a number of characters for my trumpet. Fighting, Soul Calibur, Devil May Cry, Ammunition, Demonic Way, etc., all the popular characters at the time were experienced.
There were quite a few who awakened, and cheating was really fun at the time, and I also experienced the joy of being a big brother in the game.
I still remember that at that time, many younger brothers joined me in forming a team, just thinking about doing it for free to upgrade the map. I enjoyed it, after all, I used to be a younger brother like them.
Later, when the game reached level 60, there were no more tasks, and I gradually got tired of it. Coupled with other factors such as college entrance examination and dating, my enthusiasm for DNF is not that high.
11 years later, LOL started to explode. Although DNF released a male fighter at that time, it no longer had the same enthusiasm. I went in and created a character, played for a while and then gave up.
The last time I played DNF was about 12 years ago. I went to Phoenix with my friends. Finally, I got bored in an Internet cafe. My friends and I competed with a new character called Avengers. That was probably the last time I played the DNF PC game. .
I never became a warrior again.
In fact, there were rumors in 2016 that DNF was making a mobile game, but after waiting and waiting, Yinhan Games released Time Hunter, which surprised the DNF nostalgic party, but it was not DNF after all.
By the time the DNF mobile game was released, another 7 or 8 years had passed.
This time he finally got online. Of course, there are many more games that will be available at the same time at the end of May. Not only is there DNF, there is also Mingchao who wants to take over the two-dimensional users.
I tried several popular games in those days, but in the end I stayed at DNF. Mingchao has been marketing for most of its life, but it collapsed immediately after it started.
Of course, DNF is also very bad. There have been all kinds of scoldings on the Internet for 24 years before this thing was created. I also have a lot of dissatisfaction, such as skill hits and operating feel. The most uncomfortable thing is the red dots, which require recharging one by one.
There are 1-yuan benefits, 6-yuan benefits, 18-yuan benefits, 68-yuan benefits, and battle orders. It’s really annoying to order too many. It felt like it was written everywhere that we were here to make money.
But fortunately, you can still play casually without charging money.
I have now awakened from the game, and I have created several characters. Some are for grinding, and some are for fishing, but overall it is quite enjoyable to play, because this time I don’t have to cheat, and I can experience the futility of cheating back then. My brain feels refreshed.
?In just a moment, the memory seal was opened again. We played until 3am on Friday. I don’t know why, but it’s like I’m suddenly back in the summer of 2008, sneaking out for self-study the next night and staying up all night.
Maybe, this is the feeling...?
