Chapter 1083: In-Game Redemption
Saturday, March 30, afternoon, Miyamoto house, living room.
Listening to Midaiko talk about things in the Wizarding World game, Miyamoto Miko said: "It is true that the exchange rate has been depressed mainly because of the large number of ordinary players, and the current balance is mainly due to the relationship between gold players. ”
"In the past, the proportion of copper coins exchanged for cash was high, and some of the players who played the game were ordinary players with enough time, such as unemployed people, who chartered a plane for a whole day, and the number of cocoons was limited, which squeezed out some gold players, and they continued to exchange copper coins for cash for real life, and there were more copper coins, and the proportion of copper coins for cash continued to decline. ”
"Ordinary players also earn more, earn less, and the number of people who earn less, is definitely much more than the number of people who earn more, and the players who earn less are the first to make ends meet because of the small amount of copper coins exchanged for cash, and then either insist on becoming a master, or can only face the reality and choose to quit, and only a very few people can become masters. ”
"This exit is a huge number of people, the decline in the exchange rate has slowed down, and at the same time the cocoon machine is vacated, and the gold coin players who can't play before can go in to play, but the game is a game after all, except for the rich, most of the gold coin players only invest tens of thousands of yen to hundreds of thousands of yen every month, which can only stabilize the exchange rate, which is the current situation of more than a dozen points. ”
Mei Daiko said, "It doesn't feel good. ”
"I kind of understand," Yamazaki said, "so Mom didn't stop the caravan from going to the royal city to Lufu, Mom wanted to make players spend money to improve their strength through a player's war, or a player's hiring standard." ”
"What do you mean?" asked Midaiko.
Yamazaki said: "It is to set a recruitment standard, and players must invest some money in order to improve their strength and meet the standard, in order to get more money. ”
"That is, they put in the money, and then they can earn it back, and more. Mei Daizi scratched her head, "What they earned, that's ours, so aren't we still losing?"
"Little fool," Miyamoto smiled, "and that's just for the winners, the number of people who didn't make the cut, but tens of thousands of times the number of people who were selected." ”
"How many thousand?" Mei Daiko reacted, "By the way, we only need a few people." Then he asked, "Wait, no, then these losing players won't play if they don't do it, isn't that even worse?"
"How come," Yamazaki said, "In the short term, the only way to improve your strength is to exchange money for copper coins to save time, so that the exchange rate of copper coins for cash will rise a lot, and players who do not meet the employment standards will also increase their strength, and as their strength increases, their income will increase, so that they can make money again." ”
"However, they will exchange copper coins for cash, and the exchange rate is low. ”
Mimiko Miyamoto said: "Only a few ordinary players will invest money to improve their strength, because those ordinary players who quit are basically at the bottom of the strength after not playing for a period of time." Then he asked, "Understandable, right?"
Mei Daizi said: "I understand, the speed at which the strength of gold players increases is several times that of ordinary players, and there are many ordinary players who should be civilians in order to save more money, and it is too late for them to improve their strength." Then he said, "Actually, I think it's hard for civilians to make a lot of money in the wizarding world game, and the war between lords is the theme, and when you get a territory, you can make a lot of money." ”
Miyamoto Miko said: "That's right, but the harvest depends on how much the troops of the territory and the lord's troops played in the war, and the proportion of the lord's troops is often very small. ”
Mei Daizi said: "It's true to say, it's all one territory, and they still have to be counted separately." ”
Miyamoto Miko said: "Of course we have to separate, you can think of it this way, a slave owner becomes a lord, and his subordinates are all slaves, then there is only one result, and in the end he is killed by slaves, so there are free people and slaves." ”
"The freedmen can not follow the lord, so the lord needs to let the freedmen stay, how to stay? I can only say that I can ensure that you live in peace, and for this reason, you must build an army that can protect the freedmen, the money of this army, the lord can't take it out, it can only be paid by the freedmen, this is the tax, this army is the army set up by the freedmen to protect the freedmen, that is, the army of the territory, and the lord is only the leader, the principal. ”
Mei Daizi said: "So the territory is the territory, and the lord's is the lord's, just like I pay taxes." ”
Miyamoto Miko said: "No, there are still points in this, just like you face three choices after being promoted to the title, the title of the kingdom, the title of the temple, and the title of independence." ”
"In the Middle Ages on our side, the Church took the hearts and minds of the people, and when the king was not good to the free people, they took the opportunity to take their place, but they did not fail to carry out the good of God in their mouths, so that there was a dark age, and it was with this bad record that later kings were often able to suppress the Church, and the Vatican was left in the huge church state to this day, I have to say, maybe it was the cause and effect that was planted at that time. ”
"And in the wizarding world game, there are gods who exist, and each temple can't do bad things in the name of the gods, and it is in this way that the temple has become a counterbalance to the king, so that the king can't do whatever he wants, and it is precisely because of the checks and balances that the kingdom will always treat the people attentively in order to maintain its rule, so although there have been waves, the kingdom is still a kingdom and still leads mankind. ”
"It's just that from the standpoint, it is divided into kingdoms and temples, and there is never a shortage of neutrals in the world, so if you only have royal qualifications, it means that you have the qualifications obtained from the kingdom, then you can only become a member of the kingdom; if you only have temple qualifications, it means that you have obtained qualifications from the temple, then you can only become a temple person; if you have human qualifications, it means that your contribution is to the whole of humanity, then you can choose whether the kingdom, the temple, or the neutrality independent of the kingdom and the temple. ”
Midaiko asked, "Then why should I pay taxes to the kingdom?"
Miyamoto Miko said: "Whether it is the lord of the kingdom or the lord of the temple, they are all lords of the human race, and your taxes are paid to the entire human race, just because the kingdom is now dominant, and for the entire human race, there is no difference between the kingdom, the temple, and neutrality, so the kingdom can be biased towards its own forces, and the temple can also cultivate forces." ”
"If it is the territory of the kingdom, the tax is the least, and after the territory and all the income and expenditure of the lord are settled, the excess will be paid; this ensures that the lord of the kingdom can develop rapidly, but I don't know if it will really be used for development. ”
"If it is the territory of the temple, then the ordinary subjects of the territory and the ordained subjects of the territory must be counted separately, and the income of the territory shall be deducted from the expenses of the ordinary subjects, and the income and expenditure of the lord shall be settled and the two surplus shall be paid; ”
"If it is an independent lord, the income of the territory will be settled after deducting the expenses of the ordinary lords, and the income of the territory after paying taxes can be used to pay the expenses of the serviced lords, which is also to ensure the expenses of the ordinary lords and prevent the lords from growing; ”
"It just so happens that Mei Daizi was an independent lord in the first place, so you paid so many taxes. ”
Mei Daizi held her chin with both hands, puffed out her mouth and said, "I think I have paid a lot more money for this comparison." ”
Miyamoto Miko smiled: "It's nothing to be angry about, it will pay off." ”
Midaiko asked, "Do you have to make money?"
Miyamoto Miko smiled: "It's okay to say that you can earn." ”
Midaiko asked, "What do you mean?"
Miyamoto Miko smiled: "It's boring to say it, you'll know later." Then he said, "Okay, let's continue from the original topic, only a few people who will invest money in the game to improve their strength will be ordinary players, often gold players, but most of the gold players still have to work and have no time to play games, so there will not be a lot of copper coins, and it will not have a big impact on the exchange rate." ”
Mei Daizi said: "But the exchange rate is high, and ordinary players will flock to the existing earnings, and then they will lower the exchange rate again." ”
Yamazaki said: "That's right, but the gold coin players have already invested money, and have some strength, in order not to let the previous investment go to waste, it will not be the same as before, if you don't play, you won't play, but take more time to continue playing, and the total number of cocoon machines is so much, so it is bound to squeeze out some ordinary players, and the exchange rate will not fall so fast, and when the exchange rate is low, the gold coin players will can't help but change copper coins, so that the exchange rate will be maintained at a new price." ”
Midaiko asked, "And after that, will you use the war again?"
Miyamoto Miko asked, "Oh, don't you think so?"
Mei Daizi said: "It's not impossible, it's just that the majority of players play the game in the form of rewards again and again, it feels like cheating money." ”
Yamazaki smiled: "According to what you say, the lottery tickets will not be issued, horse racing, boat racing and other activities will be stopped, and even the amusement park will not be opened." ”
"Uh," Midako scratched her face, "Well...... this"
Miyamoto Miko smiled: "Although there are some tricks, this is within the rules, and you have to understand that we could have not set up a redemption for this project, and we are the only ones in the world who are officially doing it, and although the others are said to be starting to do it, they are actually waiting and seeing, calculating the gains and losses." ”
Midaiko asked, "Then why are we doing this project?"
Miyamoto Miko said: "The background of the evil spirit crisis game is modern, and you can also do some experimental projects in it, although there is a special experimental game, but the cost of using that is much higher than using the evil spirit crisis game, plus the evil spirit crisis game also has some training effects, so I don't worry about the user at all." ”
"In the case of the Wizarding World game, the background is the Wizarding World, and in our case, although players are initially attracted to the world in the game, it is hard to say that the number of people who can afford to spend 10,000 yen a day to play in it, although the average attendance rate is more than 70% every day, but not all the same people take care of the same machine. ”
"Entertainment is important, but eating is even more important, and as the novelty passes, aesthetic fatigue is inevitable in the end, and just as the leader is trying to keep the freedmen, we must keep the players. ”
Mei Daizi said: "I understand this, just like a mall retains customers. ”
Mimiko Miyamoto said: "The establishment of the exchange project is to let the copper coins and cash flow with each other, so that the gold coin players can buy copper coins from ordinary players in order to improve their strength, so that ordinary players can make up for it, in fact, players also have private transactions, but the situation of being deceived happens from time to time, and we will not lead it." ”
"And if there is no exchange program, then when using the employment method, it will simply let players put money into it, which will not make up for it, and it will inevitably turn more players out, in other words, it will make the market smaller, which is not good. ”
"In terms of the exchange project alone, it is indeed a loss, when the exchange project was first launched, it was a copper coin for fifty yen, and the domestic more than one million magic world game cocoons were immediately full, and the average daily income of players at that time was less than 60 copper coins, and 60 million copper coins were equivalent to 3 billion yen, but the exchange rate began to decline as soon as the exchange began, and in fact, it did not exchange so much cash, and the income of more than one million magic world game cocoons was more than 10 billion yen. ”
Mei Daizi said: "Then you can use this money to pull up the exchange rate." ”
Miyamoto Miko smiled: "That employment method is a means to stimulate the exchange rate, and at the same time, it can also increase the attendance rate." ”
Yamazaki said: "Actually, when ordinary players are unlucky and don't have a good start, and they don't have the ability to play a good game, then they should honestly go to work and make money, thinking that making money by playing games comfortably will only delay themselves." ”
"Well, I agree with that. "But I still have a problem, which is that when most of the people become lords, there will be a lot of copper coins." ”
Miyamoto Miko said: "That's right, as the player's strength increases, the player's ability to earn copper coins will increase, and if there are more copper coins, the exchange rate between copper coins and cash will decrease, and even gold coins for cash is not surprising, but the cash earned at that time should also be too different from the amount exchanged for now, and it is impossible to judge whether it is high or low now." ”
Mei Daizi asked, "Isn't it a loss to exchange copper coins now?"
Yamazaki smiled: "When a product first appears, it is usually the most expensive, whether to buy it or not, and when to buy it depends on personal preference, and I believe that the virtual game Magic World is an excellent game that is popular with people." ”
"That's right," Mei Daiko laughed, "then I don't have any problems with that right now." ”
"Okay, so let's talk about the next question, or notice. Mimiko Miyamoto smiled, "Regarding the lion scorpion, Ichiro and I will go with you at night, one for each of us." ”
Mei Daizi smiled happily: "I agree with both hands." ”……
