407 "Pan-Asian War Preparation Alliance"
Since the Virtual Property Protection Law, the Virtual Economy Taxation Law, the Virtual Industry Management Regulations and other virtual economic regulations, as the development and progress of virtual online game technology has gradually matured and formed, the originally simple games have gradually become mixed with some deeper things.
Although ordinary players often cannot understand these deeper things, it has to be said that these competitions that only stay at the level of high-level players often affect the game progress and subtly change the form of the game.
Especially with the maturity of virtual reality technology, the scale of a game is getting bigger and bigger, and the upper limit of the player population can be accommodated is getting higher and higher. So far, no game has a population limit, and a game is often not developed and operated by game companies one by one. Virtual online games have also become a pan-world-class platform.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
This Asian-American saying describes the form of the game industry very appropriately. When the game is sublimated to the level of not being a single country, the disputes of interest it brings will naturally rise to a level that concerns the national economy.
Because it involves game agencies with certain official backgrounds in various countries, the economic flow in the game naturally affects the financial problems of various countries. It can be said that in this era when games have become the main leisure and entertainment channel of the people, in the context of "everyone is traveling", the virtual economy involved in virtual games has surpassed bulk financial transactions such as stocks and futures, and has become a new type of financial battlefield in this era. It is a bloody game place for financial masters from various countries and schools of thought.
Of course, the land in the game does not distinguish between national boundaries, but the players in the game have backgrounds in various countries. When the resources in the game are tilted towards one side, the other side will naturally be scarce. The money consumed by players in the game will also enter the pocket of another country from the pocket of one country to the pocket of another country. The financial outflow formed is a very terrible thing.
Therefore, in the current reality, the natural environment and resources are overwhelmed and not enough to support the occurrence of real wars, the game between countries is moved from reality to the virtual world. This green, pure, natural and pollution-free virtual financial war has become one of the most cruel and common national-level competition methods in the war without gunpowder in the current era.
Of course, too official and formal financial wars have nothing to do with general public players. Institutions with official backgrounds are also lurking to the level under the tacit understanding of various countries, and will not be exposed to ordinary players, and avoid interfering with the normal game environment of ordinary players.
This has certain public binding force and unspoken rules. If you don’t want to take the blame for the world and be attacked by the crowd, it is best not to violate the taboos that everyone has formulated and stick to the rules. As for playing the edge ball and supporting some civil forces, it is a matter of opinion and disagreement. Whether it is reality or game, everyone cannot avoid playing some tricks, right?
Although most players do not know the storm hidden in it, players located at the top of the pyramid can get in touch with these things. Naturally, a large number of "patriotic organizations" or "civil heroes" will be derived, and they will run around each other. They use their own strength to protect their "virtual territory" from being violated. Various player institutions and player organizations established thus mobilize players of their own camp through various activities and cooperate with the strategic deployment in the general direction.
"Player Alliance" is an informal institution, which is divided into the four main areas of Asia-American region, Europa region, Aryan region, and Negro region, and are divided into many communities according to the country.
Moreover, its background is very complex, and its structure is very similar to the federal nature. It is composed of countless small players and organizations. The organizers and members, except for the official and financial forces hidden in it, are mostly from the well-known people on the "Super Player", "Advanced Player", and "Player" list. The member structure is very free and loose. If you are willing to participate, join. No one will force you if you are unwilling to participate.
Because the cultural background involved in "Endless" is different from that of the Asia-American region, players in the Asia-American region generally lag behind the Europa region. Because they are worried about losing in the mid-to-late competition, "Player Alliance" came forward and formed the "Pan Asia-American War Preparation Alliance" and planned to organize players in the Asia-American region to join forces to catch up with the lagging game progress, so the name "Asia League" and "War Alliance" was created.
"... "The Alliance of War" is a general term. No matter which organization is similar to the region, it is called "The Alliance of War". "The Alliance of Asia" represents the alliance of our Asia-American region, and "The EU" represents the alliance of the Europa region. If you want to call it "Player Alliance", it is just an informal title anyway."
"The progress of our game in Asia and America lags behind that of the Europa region. In addition to the cultural differences in the game background, we are also because we are not united enough, cohesion and centripetal force are insufficient, let alone order..."
Unlimited sigh: "Although the European Union is like our Asian League, it is also an unofficial and informal organization, but it has formed a very complete and formal system and an orderly organization of Europa players to accelerate the opening of wasteland maps and promote the game process.
But we are still trying to be the "leader" and how to divide future interests. Not only can we fail to effectively narrow the lagging gap, but we are still widening the gap!
If this continues, once a regional war breaks out, we will not have the ability to resist at all... No, it should be said that in the process of competing with each other, we have already fallen far behind others. The map of the Covare Continent is only so large and there are only so many resources. The more people open up the land, the more resources they occupy, and the fewer resources we can occupy at that time, will it be a waste?"
Wutong and the others were speechless. Everyone wanted to be the boss, and they were unwilling to be inferior to others, and they were disgusted with being "represented". This seems to be a characteristic that the Chinese people have ever had in history, and there is really nothing to criticize.
However, Wutong, a ten thousand-year-old house, really had no interest in these things, so after shrugging her shoulders and expressing her regrets, she did not express any opinions.
Wuxian said while observing Wutong's expression. But he found that Wutong was so calm that he had no expression. Wuxian couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Are you not going to participate?"
Wutong was confused: "What are you participating?"
"The War Alliance!"
Wuxian was a little anxious: "Because there was no way to decide the management, the Asian League decided to adopt the points ranking system. Who has the biggest fist? Who will be the boss and adopt the competitive and superior mechanism. So now major guilds, player organizations, and individuals are competing for this ranking. And the most important thing is that this ranking will be used as a certificate for the division of territory, business, and various interest areas in the future..."
Wutong was a little stunned: "Territory? Are you referring to the territory I built myself and the business I run. I will also be subject to the points system set by the Asian League. If I cannot meet their points standards, will the territory I built myself still belong to?"
Wuxian thought about it and nodded: "Although it is not a very accurate description. But the meaning is almost the same."
Wutong opened her mouth wide and said foolishly: "Can I leave the territory I have built and the business I have done to them to manage?"
Unlimitedly spread his hands: "That's it."
Wutong was immediately angry: "Why don't I hand over it? I don't join any alliance, why should they represent me? Who gave them the rights? Has my consent?"
"Your consent is not required."
Infinite shrugged: "Everyone said, who has a big fist and who will be the boss? Can your own strength compete with the entire Asian League? If you don't agree, they will unite to destroy you..."
"I circled it!"
With Wutong's gentle temperament, he couldn't help but make a series of swear words. He had a good impression of this organization. As a result, he found out that this was the case, and his favorability value dropped to negative. To put it bluntly, isn't it just a few major forces in the Asian League united to oppress small forces?
The only ones who make the ultimate profit are those powerful organizations, while small forces are only bullied and exploited.
Unlimited patiently explained: "It cannot be said that the purpose of "Asia League" is mainly inclined to fair competition in the general direction. The main purpose is to enhance the overall comprehensive strength of the Asia-American region to compete for possible regional competition in the future. As for the confrontation force is a few major forces or a combination of many small forces, they don't care. If you don't want to be represented, then rush up the ranking in "Asia League" to represent others."
Wutong was so depressed. There was undoubtedly a pusher from the official forces. Maybe the idea was to let the player force eat the small fish by themselves, and then the remaining big fish would be captured in one net for their use.
Isn’t this the same thing as the “per capita income of the people has repeatedly hit new highs” that was promoted back then?
"It's not as dark as you think. "Asian League" is a helpless move. If you don't do this, everyone will sweep the snow in front of the door, and you will not be able to effectively organize the power to compete with the EU. You will not use this kind of rewarding and punitive means to induce and force the group of capable and powerful players who are "rich first", such as you... well, there are also me."
Wuxian said helplessly: "If this is not the case, no one will promote the game process, open up the wasteland map, and guide and improve the comprehensive strength of all players as soon as possible. When it comes to the competition between Europe and Asia, our Asia-American region will only be passively suppressed and beaten by the European and European players."
Wutong was speechless, and it seemed that what he said was correct... However, Wutong was very suspicious. Can the organizers of "Asia League" really take this goal as the starting point? Who can be sure that the most powerful companies will not unite and use this method to make profits and make money for themselves?
After a while of silence, Wutong frowned and said, "To put it bluntly, if you don't want to be exploited, you become an exploiter. If you don't want to be represented, you become a representative, right? Well, how do you count this so-called 'points'? Who will count it? There is no ranking function in "Endless" and no 'system' exists in the actual sense."
"Well, this one is quite credible. Points, rankings, and major rankings are all led by the statistical agencies of the real "Super Player", "Advanced Player", and a certain official background."
He scratched his head infinitely: "I can't explain it clearly to you. Why don't I take you to the Asian League's Andele branch to see it? There are major rankings to read there, you will understand it when you go and take a look."
Wutong, who didn't want to be represented, followed Wuxian and others away from the oak barrel bar and took a carriage to the branch of the "Asian League" to find out what was going on.
Because "Asia League" is a pure player institution, before it has been officially recognized and authorized, they cannot do so like the Mercenary Guild. They have public office spaces, so they can only raise a large amount of funds and rent a large shanty town in the slums near the east gate of Fairhaven. They then renovated and renovated into an occasion similar to the Mercenary Guild, but there are only players and no indigenous people who are active here.
Although the venue and hardware of the Asian League branch seem a little bit simple and dilapidated, fortunately the venue is large enough and long. The rows of simple greenhouses are simply supported by pillars, enough to accommodate a large number of people gathering.
Although the hardware is simple, the software is not vague at all. All service facilities are quite complete, and a small number of buildings serve as offices of various departments of the Asian League. After Wutong and the others came here, they thought this was a super-large teahouse, with a large number of log long tables and chairs neatly arranged for players to rest, and a large number of service staff as female players to provide services to players who are resting.
There are even wine, food, supplies, and equipment for sale. They also work part-time to purchase and sell materials, auctions, rewards, etc., and can be seen from the various functions here. The founder of "Asia League" is ambitious. They intend to build this place into a gathering place for purely player-controlled comprehensive market, mercenary guilds, and auction houses.
Currently, it is subject to fund restrictions. "Asia League" cannot conduct transactions that are low and high, and is only used as a platform for players to use, from which they charge handling fees and service fees to recover their investments.
"It seems nothing strange?" Wutong looked at this place similar to the Mercenary Guild. Apart from being more broken than the Mercenary Guild, she found nothing worthy of surprise.
"There is nothing to be strange about. This place is just a place similar to the official community, but there are not so many advanced virtual light curtains and data functions."
Wuxian nodded, pointed at various places and introduced: "The changes in intelligence information here are basically based on human resources. Here are major rankings, divided into "Personal Ranking", "Guire Association Ranking", "Profession Ranking", "Equipment Ranking", "Wealth Ranking", and "Famous Ranking"..."
"It just imitates the ranking function in traditional online games!"
Xiao San looked around and curled his pink and tender cherry-red mouth: "It's just that it has changed from the automatic list of the system to a human modification." Some player staff of the caster profession are constantly using [copying] and [elimination] to change the content on the huge notice boards.
"That's about it, it's difficult to overcome."
Wuxian nodded and pointed to the huge notice boards and said: "Like the traditional online game system, it is obviously impossible to display instantly, so only the top 100 people are posted on a notice board, and you can go directly to the counter to check your ranking. It's just a little troublesome. Every time you make a change, you need to submit relevant information on the counter, and then calculate and count through the staff of the "Super Play" list, and then convert it into points..."
Wutong said in surprise: "If this happens, will your personal strength and information be exposed soon?"
Unlimited laugh: "There are gains and losses. If you want to become famous, don't expect to have **. Besides, the information you will submit on your own initiative is mostly false. People are definitely not stupid enough to explain all their trump cards. It can be said that "Personal Rankings" is the most valuable one in these rankings. But it is not necessarily the case that the bosses of those large guilds will choose to announce their strength in order to become famous, and as a benchmark to attract ordinary players to join their guilds. This is called the idol effect."
Wutong observed it and shook her head. The information on the "Personal Ranking" that simply accumulates attributes as the judging criteria is actually not accurate. It does not mean that high attributes must mean high combat effectiveness. This is purely formalism.
Moreover, the so-called submission of relevant information is actually to open your own attribute panel for the staff to see. After registration, it is recorded on the list. In order to protect the top-ranked persons, the detailed attribute data of the top-ranked persons are not disclosed on the list, but is displayed in a comprehensive combat power value.
The player with the highest combat power at present is the Paladin of Serene, one of the five human kingdoms. The combat power is as high as 23,000, which is more than 10,000 yuan above the second place. The most surprising thing is that this Paladin is actually a female player!
"This Garland Nord is a member of a guild in the EU, No. 5566 in "Super Play", and is a very powerful ocean horse..."
