Hello everyone, here is the game of surprise, I am a little girl

Since the official entry into the game field in 2001, Shanda has provided many classic games for young people. What “Dragon Valley”, “The Legend of Blood”, “The Legend of the World” are all classic hot games of the year, just say that one is full of childhood memories!

Especially in 2005, the grand legendary series of games announced the cancellation of the monthly card and the implementation of the game free item charging mode. Since then, the balance of the online game market has been fully tilted towards free games. The monthly per capita consumption value of Shanda online games has obviously increased, earning a pot full. Full

Well, ten years have passed, what happened to those grand games that were smash hits?

• Legend Series: The 500 million people of the world’s legendary players, there are still a bunch of page games to imitate.

Speaking of Shanda Games, you must mention the legendary series of games. As we all know, since 2001, Shanda Games has opened the era of online games in China with the Legend of Blood, and in 2002 it became the world’s largest online game. In 2005, the global game business model of “free game, value-added service charge” was created, which has a milestone significance in the history of Chinese games

How much is the game in the end? As of 2014, the global legendary players reached 500 million people. At the time, there were a total of three billion netizens worldwide. That is to say, in 2014, one out of every six netizens is a legendary player, and its weekly game duration is up to 18 hours. At the peak of Legend, at least eight people in the Internet cafe were playing. One of the other two is in the legendary login interface. The Internet cafes of that year can be said to be raised by a group of legendary people

And the legend about “The Legend of the Blood” is even more. I heard that someone could connect to the general level for a month to raise the level from 40 to 41. I also heard that once a piece of equipment sold for 350,000 days, I know that a house in Beijing was 400,000! All this shows how hot the legend was in the past!

Don’t say anything else, the various elements in the “Legend” series of games have always been the object of a variety of cottage game makers, free to search for legendary mobile games, full screen is a legendary cottage mobile game, visible The influence of the game remains the same!

Of course, in the face of the arrival of the mobile game era, the legend is constantly changing. In 2015, Shanda launched “The Legend of the Blood” and “The Legend of the World”. In 2017, Shanda Games authorized “The Legendary Mobile Games” and “The Legendary World Mobile Games” to Tencent’s exclusive agent. Based on the huge traffic of Tencent’s father, the legendary IP continued to continue in the mobile game. Although it did not have the heat of the year, it was a new attempt

• Transforming mobile game representatives: “Dragon Valley”, “Aion Tower”.

• “Dragon Valley”: Working with Tencent to move to the mobile side.

“Dragon Valley” is a Korean action game that is more than commercialized in China in 2010. It is also the first “big movie” launched by Shanda Games after the Nasdaq in 2009. “Dragon Valley” The meaning is self-evident

In the non-locking strike 3D action RPG, the Dragon Valley is a very good product. The Q version of the exquisite figure, the fight against the strong sense of the battle is the highlight of the Dragon Valley. At the time when the “Dragon Valley” was the hottest, there was a strong potential for the dungeons and the warriors. At the same time, the highest level reached 720,000. And the game screen is also really cute in the past, especially the favorite paper

However, the game was cool very quickly because the game optimization was not good enough, the professional balance was not enough, and the plug-in and operation strategy were problems

Now the Dragon Valley is still there, but it is not the Dragon Valley of the year. However, from the official website, the end game is now operating normally. Like the legendary series, Shanda also licensed “Dragon Valley Mobile Games” to Tencent’s exclusive agent in 2017. Although it was not the same as it was, it was also the existence of the classic IP that continued on the mobile side

• “Aion Tower”: A game that dared to compete with Warcraft 10 years ago

When the Warcraft agent changed and stopped, countless games with the “Warcraft Killer” banner stood out. Among them, the highest voice is “The Tower of Eternity.” I still remember when the Aion was just open beta in 2009. The advertisement said “Beat World of Warcraft” is a gimmick that attracts many players to join Although the game is more demanding on computer configuration, enthusiastic players are still trying to overcome various difficulties and invest in AION, a mythical world

The “Eternal Tower” itself has a very high connotation and comprehensive quality. The Korean version of the style, the setting of the Tianzu Mozu confrontation, the beautiful music and so on are the advantages of the Aion “Aion Tower” can even be said to drive the development of Chinese hardware DIY. There has never been an online game that will make you entangled in hardware configuration and operating system, but now the Aion has been destroyed by the plug. It’s…

And in November 2018, Korean developer NCSoft officially announced the “Aion Tower” sequel “Aion Tower 2” at the press conference in Seoul, South Korea, but it should be noted that here is the “Eternal Tower 2 is not a PC tour, but a mobile MMORPG

The game will be the game background of the world after 900 years of the Astro and Mozu wars in the Aion, bringing a new adventure to the players. The game will not only inherit the original gameplay of the end game, but also launch a large-scale battle with different dimensions of the original battle. In the end, Xiaomei feels that I can look forward to it!

• Rely on the old players: “Adventure Island”, “Rainbow Island”, “Bubble Hall”.

The most classic games of Shanda Games are now in the state of “reliance on old players”. Not only that, the mobile game release or agency rights of these games are not in the hands of Shanda, and mobile games are not optimistic

• Bubble Hall: The originator of leisure online games, even Tencent draws on it.

Speaking of Shanda Games, there is another game that has to be mentioned is “Bubble Hall”. The gameplay is also very simple. Use the blisters to trap the opponent and then puncture the blisters that trap the player to die. Finally, the player who is alive wins

“Bubble Hall” is a network casual game born out of the stand-alone game “Bombman”. After it was born in 2003, it started with a simple game mode and cute shape. The whirlwind has become the most popular leisure online game at that time. In 2004, the highest number of online users reached 700,000, and won a lot of awards, can be said to be the originator of Chinese casual online games!

Specifically, how much fire did you have in the past? Xiaomei said this, Tencent has a game called “QQ Tang” is to learn from him … (also Virgo Studio’s Virgo).

Ten years have passed, the national costume “Bubble Hall” is still operating, although the daily active players are less than 1000, purely relying on the support of old players, but still barely alive, and the United States, Russia and other regions It has stopped serving

As for the “Bubble Hall” mobile game has been represented by Tencent, it seems no movement at present. Even if the hand swims out, the younger sister is not very optimistic about the mobile game bubble, because the technical operation of the bubble hall is based on the keyboard is the best, the flexibility of the keyboard is unmatched by the mobile phone. But Xiaomei still sincerely hopes that it can be put on the shelves to satisfy the memories of our old players who share common feelings

• “Adventure Island”: Adventure Island becomes a single island.

As a sister paper, I mentioned that Shanda’s first thought was “Adventure Island”. I wanted to like the flat pixel cartoon style in the past, and then I spent the night all night before the novice village was laughed at by the little friends. Don’t mention anything sad. Cough, say back to the right thing

Now the new generation of players may have a hard time imagining how dangerous the “Adventure Island” was in the past. “Adventure Island” was officially launched in mainland China in July 2004. At the time of the Internet cafe, 50% of the people were playing. Adventure Island is not an exaggeration

Due to the general home computer function, if you say “World of Warcraft” at that time, it may be a little far away from the primary school students,Then “Adventure Island” can be said to be more glamorous with the glory of today’s kings, and it is very attractive to younger players: for the computer, the configuration is not high, and the ordinary family machine can download and play

In December 2008, “Adventure Island” was online with a population of 1.5 million, setting a record high in history

Ten years have passed, and now the game “Adventure Island” is still there, but compared with other online games, the national costume is obviously cold, plus the “Adventure Island 2” is on the shelves, to play “Adventure Island” There are very few newcomers, and even some of them are already ghost costumes. It is not good to choose a server. It may not be possible to see a live figure for a few months, just like playing a “single island.”

With the development of the version, the gameplay is of course more and more, every activity requires your liver and liver, playing monsters, teaming up to complete tasks, etc., as well as daily sign-on daily tasks, etc. In short, you The gameplay mode of other online games that can be thought of is also here. Compared with the simple gameplay of the year, the gameplay has become more and more, but it seems that some things have changed along with it. It is no longer the “Adventure Island” of the year. I don’t know if it should be said that it is fortunate or sad

“Adventure Island” also has mobile games, but it is not represented by Century Tiancheng agent, and it is not grand, and the reduction is low and the international service gap is large. Appstore view last update is 2016, plus Adventure Island 2 The launch of “Adventure Island” can be said to be just a lingering death. No matter how we miss it, the “Adventure Island” of the year is not coming back

• “Rainbow Island”: The online game that was best for minors is now mostly a ghost costume.

Following “Taste of Adventure” Shanda, after taste of the sweetness, in 2007, Shanda quickly represented a game with a very similar game mode, structure framework and style, namely “Rainbow Island”, one of the grand islands. Due to its cartoon shape, the game was rated as the most suitable online game for minors in 2008 by the Chinese Ministry of Culture

“Rainbow Island”’s audience positioning is similar to “Adventure Island”, which is quite different from the online game style of the hacking murderers. The gorgeous skills and the blame can burst the thrill of rare equipment. It is a rainbow. The most central game features of the island And if you really want to talk about “Rainbow Island” people have been obsessed for ten years, non-BGM is none other than At that time, listening to music for a few hours of continuous blame would not feel tired. Some music is often used by TV shows and radio stations

Like the predecessor “Adventure Island”, although the game continues to maintain the update, there are very few newcomers who have not played “Rainbow Island”. Some of the clothes are already ghosts, and it is not good to choose a server. It is a “single island.”

“Rainbow Island” now also has a mobile game “Rainbow Island W”, although it is late, but it is good, but currently only Taiwanese clothing can be downloaded. Although the scene map restoration is really good, but the modeling and fashion styles are numerous, but at first glance it looks quite rough

And the equipment, fashion, and pets of the mobile game are all divided into five stars. The high-raracity equipment pets can only be obtained through the “rebellious egg” lottery. The equipment attributes of the liver are far less than the lottery. One of the points. The innocent party wants to get a five-star pet basically only through the long dog food feeding evolution to cultivate, the egg pain “forced” routine can be imagined. I want to rely on the redemption of Rainbow Island, I am afraid it is a bit difficult

Xiaomei is saying: There is a joke in the game industry that is not a joke: there are only three game companies in China, Tencent, NetEase and others. For the grand games that always rank first in “Others”, this joke is quite cruel. Although Shanda Games is not the first in the present, the grand games that we played in the past may be “first” in our minds

Last question: What other grand games are worth remembering?
