The friend a.s.sistance function achieves three goals at the same time.
First, they can use the powerful cards of other players to pa.s.s through some levels that they could not due to their own combat power not being enough to clear it. The effect of friends is to also covertly make them feel that they are not playing a stand-alone game, and enhance the social attribute of the game itself, and improving the retention of the players.
Second, a large powerful card is equivalent to an advertising effect, so that their friends can see how powerful the card is, and it will lure other players to topup.
Third, ordinary players will sought to add them as their friends in order to hold the thighs of the local tyrants, which will make some of the local tyrants obtain a sense of satisfaction and further stimulates their desire to topup.
These three points are very important for the retention and profitability of 《I am MT》, and a simple “friend a.s.sistance system” achieves these three points perfectly without it being an actual mmo, which can be said to achieve the best effect with the least resources.
With its anime being popular, free downloads and friends recommendation, the user group of 《I am MT》 is still spreading at a high speed, and majority of them are young people.
And the number of paid players has always been around 10%.
In the experience shop, Chen Mo yawned feeling a bit bored.
The server of 《I am MT》 is rented by Chen Mo from the government, and the customer service personnel were also from a special company, and they only need to regularly summarize the opinions of the players and give the feedback to the game designer.
In the parallel world, there are basically no bugs or server maintenance needed. Although many players complained about the topup or game experience problems, those are being handled by the special customer service personnel. Chen Mo only needs to collect the opinions of the players and decide whether to adjust the game later.
The others are all playing 《I am MT》, and the people around Wen Lingwei kept asking her for some advice about formations.
Wen Lingwei charged about 300 RMB, while the others charge a little less, 10 RMB and 30 RMB.
“Now you have Shaman and Paojie. You can focus on training Paojie. By the way, your captain"s skill can increase the damage of Shaman so that your two lightning chains will be more stronger.”
“Uhm, you have a lot of mages so you can use their second skill. Match them with a Female Thief or Rogue and put them in the same column with the Leader of the Five Fire G.o.ds so that they will start attacking the other side immediately.”
“Jia Peng…erm, you cards are trash, and so delete your account and make a new one again.”
Wen Lingwei gave them advice one by one.
Su Jinyu came to Chen Mo and asked, “Manager, why aren"t you playing?”
Chen Mo said, “Oh, I have no money.”
Su Jinyu turned speechless, “This game doesn"t cost any money!”
Chen Mo said, “You don"t understand. Free is the most expensive.”
Wen Lingwei came over and said, “Manager, no need to pretend here that you are poor. If the monthly turnover of 《I am MT》 can exceed 20 million just like what you had said, then you will earn more than 10 million RMB this month. Yet you say you have no money!”
Chen Mo spread his hands, “But the App Store delivers that payment on a monthly basic, and it"s still not yet the end of the month. I had used all my money on the anime, and I have no more money to topup.”
Wen Lingwei said, “Oh, when the money gets credited to your account, then you should topup to VIP12 so that we have a thigh that we can hold.”
Chen Mo said, “My money needs to be use to develop more interesting games. How can I waste it on such things?”
Everyone, “…”
“Tell me, do you believe what you had just said! You obviously want to develop more money charging games!” Complained Wen Lingwei.
Chang Xiuya asked, “Manager, I wanna ask, is there a VIP12 now?”
Su Jinyu was shocked, “There shouldn"t be? VIP12 is 50,000 RMB, is there someone sane enough to charge 50,000 RMB so soon?”
Wen Lingwei also thinks that it"s impossible, “There shouldn"t be. I think it will be possible to have a VIP12 in another month or two. After all, the upper limit is too high.”
Chen Mo said, “Uhm, there"s no need to guess. There already is a VIP12.”
Su Jinyu was shocked, “Really?! Who?”
Chen Mo said, “Which one are you asking? There are currently 27 VIP12.”
Everyone, “…”
Jia Peng quietly retreated, “I don"t understand the world of the rich.”
Su Jinyu said, “I don"t understand it either.”
Wen Lingwei said, “Fast! Give me their account ID so that I can add them as friends! I have been stuck at this level for a long time. So Give me one with a Max Elder Sister so that I can clear it!”
Just then. a man came in.
Chen Mo took a glance, "Isn"t that Zhao Zihao?"
“Why are you here?” Chen Mo was a bit surprised.
Zhao Zihao was also surprised for a moment, “(× _ ×) Why are there so many people here, but itsn"t bad that there are a lot more girls.”
Chen Mo stood up and said, “Oh, let me introduce them, this is my a.s.sistant, Su Jinyu, and they are all players.”
He also pointed to Zhao Zihao, “This is a brother of mine, Zhao Zihao.”
Zhao Zihao nodded to everyone and then casually found a seat to sit down.
“Hey Chen Mo, please tell me which cards should I use from these piles of cards.” Zhao Zihao handed his phone.
Chen Mo took a look and said, “Huh? You are also playing 《I am MT》?”
Zhao Zihao nodded, “Yea, am I not allowed to play the games you made? Some time ago, I was bit busy so I couldn"t play it when it got released. This is just a new account.”
Everyone came to have a look, o.O, VIP12.
F*ck, this is a local tyrant!
Everyone then look once more on the cards, and as a result, everyone was shocked.
Elder Sister, Xiaoxin, Nu De, Paojie, Winter, which are all the rare cards that are currently available and each cards has several copies.
Wen Lingwei was speechless, “You wastrel! Wasting so many good cards!”
Zhao Zihao scratched his head and said, “Er, I just pulled out a lot, but I haven"t studied them carefully. So I immediately came here to ask.”
Jia Peng said, “School sister, you can do it for him.”
Wen Lingwei looked at him in contempt, “Isn"t the Manager here? It"s not my turn to display my inferior skill before an expert.”
Chen Mo looked at Zhao Zihao"s card and asked, “What set do you want to play?”
Zhao Zihao"s face was dumbfounded, “What set? Just give me the most powerful one!”
Chen Mo said, “There is no such thing as most powerful, they all can restrain each other. Forget it, you have so many cards, so you can just play 【The One】 set.”
Chen Mo began to talk as he arrange it..
“There is Elder Sister, Paojie, Xiaoxin, and Winter on this set. These four during battle will have an increase in attack and critical. It"s a bit of a waste if you have an Elder Sister but don"t play in this formation.”
“As for the fifth card, your captain is enough for now, because for the time being you can"t take him out. Later, you can consider replacing it with Blood Elf Mage, Shaman or Bi Yue, it depends on whether you like being a bit cautious or a bit of boldness.”
Jia Peng held his forehead, “All these cards are from recharging. This is a true local tyrant!”
Zhao Zihao nodded, “Okay, I"ll play this set for now. First, I"ll upgrade all these cards.”
Wen Lingwei frowned, “Manager, why do you say this set is not the most powerful? Isn"t these 4 cards are the most powerful?”
Chen Mo said, “There is no such thing as the most powerful, each cards have mutual restraint.”
Chang Xiuya said, “Manager, then what formation would you recommend for the average player?”
Wen Lingwei nodded, “Yes, it would be better if it can beat the 【The One】 set.”
Chen Mo was speechless, “How can I have you beat a local tyrant with an average card? I won"t earn any more money if I do that.”
