Chapter 367

.

A few minutes after Dream Entertainment's official website went live, the number of IP addresses that visited exceeded 655,555. This was because the post by the 'mysterious game insider' on Wanderer Starry Sky had been reposted by a large number of players and was known by many. They were constantly paying attention to Dream Entertainment's official website.

The sudden increase in the number of visits made Shi Lei realize that something was wrong.

If the number of visits continued to increase, then not only would the web server not be able to handle it, even the data server would not be able to handle it.

Helpless, Shi Lei could only call Sun Feng again and ask him to send three more web servers and four more data servers.

Shi Lei planned to set up a cluster of servers and release the first server. After all, the first server was only a workstation level server. It was not even at the level of a small enterprise's server. Using it as a data server was too much of a stretch.

Since Sun Feng could not leave because of some matters, he directly contacted the server's seller to deliver the goods to Shi Lei. The server's seller was very enthusiastic when faced with Shi Lei's large order.

In less than an hour, they brought the seven servers that Shi Lei needed to Cui Hu Building.

With the help of the server's seller's team, they spent another hour to complete the server's matters.

Luckily, Shi Lei had a ready-made cluster system. Originally, Shi Lei's cluster system was a special cluster system that made it convenient for the super computer Yan to connect with the main forces. It combined the maximum performance of the resources in his hands.

Now, this special cluster system was used to configure the web server and data server.

The seven servers cost a total of 6.1 million yuan. The web server cost 755,555 yuan. The data server was slightly more expensive at 705,555 yuan.

If it was a small enterprise, they would at most need a workstation level server. It would cost around a few thousand to ten thousand yuan. A slightly better one would only cost twenty thousand yuan.

However, according to the situation of Dream Entertainment's official website, Shi Lei had no choice but to invest more in the servers. If Dream Entertainment's official website crashed because of the normal visits of the players, how could he let the players, the media, and even his partners believe that Dream Entertainment could set up a good server?

A game server's requirements for the CPU and disk were much higher than a web server, data server, and application server.

If Dream Entertainment could not even handle the server of their official website, how could they set up a game server?

Close the door as soon as possible!

It was because of this consideration that Shi Lei increased the cost of the server and built two server clusters. He used the model of separating the web server and the data server to reduce the possibility of Dream Entertainment's official website crashing.

Shi Lei checked the backend data of the server. In less than one and a half hours, more than 655,555 people had registered on Dream Entertainment's official website.

Moreover, this speed was rapidly increasing!

Fortunately, Shi Lei had the foresight to increase the number of servers. Otherwise, with the current number of visitors, the official website would have collapsed.

On the forum of the official website, there were a large number of congratulatory posts, as well as reports, as well as messy posts, which put a lot of pressure on the data server. If he still used server number one, the data server would definitely collapse. Fortunately, there were four data servers. Shi Lei connected to Server No.6 in batches, then transferred the data of Server No.6 and exited the list of data servers.

In the official forum, a post attracted a lot of attention.

"Dream Entertainment, you can't discriminate based on region!"

"… I'm from Lijian Province. I'm a fan of Xia Xia's culture. If I were to use Xia Xia's language to describe the officials of Dream Entertainment, I only have one word to say: What the f * ck!"

"… Why does the Brave World have to undergo closed beta testing in Xia Xia? Dear players of Xia Xia, if your reason is that Dream Entertainment is Xia Xia's company, then let me tell you a secret. Dream Entertainment is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mirage Technology Corporation. Mirage Technology Corporation is an offshore company registered in the Cayman Islands, which is part of England. Dear players of Xia Xia, do you still want to say that Dream Entertainment is Xia Xia's company? "

"… If the Brave World only had closed beta testing in Xia Xia, we foreign players could still accept it. However, why is the application system for the Brave World's closed beta testing restricted to foreign players? "

"… We strongly protest against Dream Entertainment Corporation. You are discriminating based on region. We strongly urge Dream Entertainment to allow foreign players to apply for the Brave World's closed beta testing! "

"… Dear foreign players, due to Dream Entertainment Corporation's regional discrimination policy and the fact that Xia Xia's players visited the headquarters of Dream Entertainment, I call on all foreign players with the ability to organize and go to Xia Xia and Shuangqing City. We also want to visit Dream Entertainment's headquarters!"

"… Xia Xia's laws also allow for free assembly, demonstration, and demonstration. We foreign players want to protest against Dream Entertainment!"

"… I'm a super player from Lijian Province, Priest of Holy Light. My personal contact information is posted at the bottom. If there are foreign players who want to go to Xia Xia, please organize. Let Dream Entertainment cancel this regional discrimination! "

The super player from Lijian Province, Priest of Holy Light, actually used both Xia Xia and English in his post. This guy was indeed a fan of Xia Xia's culture. He was very fluent in Xia Xia's language.

Behind his post, a large number of foreign players replied in English to protest against Dream Entertainment's regional discrimination policy.

However, Xia Xia's players clapped their hands and cheered. For a long time, games from Europe and Lijian Province, including Voisin's games, were first released in their respective regions before they considered Xia Xia.

Just like the famous Wow game, Xia Xia's players were always discriminated against. This made Xia Xia's players very unhappy!

This closed beta of World of the Brave finally gave Xia Xia's players a sense of superiority. Xia Xia's players and foreign players quarreled in the post.

Shi Lei saw this post when he browsed the official website's forum. He smiled bitterly.

The reason why foreign players' applications for the closed beta were blocked was because Xia Xia's network was closed. These foreign players could only enter Xia Xia and log into Dream Entertainment's official website because they used proxy IPs.

Although proxy IPs could allow them to browse the website, it would be very frustrating to use proxy IPs to play the game. There would be all kinds of lag, lag, and even disconnection. It would be absolutely devastating!

He remembered that before Wow's WLK was released, there was a hilarious conversation in a very classic video.

A certain guild leader said, "I use those disgusting proxies every day. I disconnect as soon as I enter the dungeon! And I'm being discriminated against! "

A certain retarded member said, "Guild leader, you can try other proxies!"

A certain guild leader said, "Screw your proxies! All proxies are scum! "

When Shi Lei first saw that video, from a hacker's point of view, proxy IPs were very reliable. However, were ordinary gamers hackers?

Using hacker's skills could indeed make proxy IPs very stable, but ordinary gamers were powerless. Therefore, Shi Lei added a personal identity requirement to the World of the Brave's closed beta invitation system. Only those who had proof of identity in China or Taiwan could apply for the closed beta invitation code.

Once the results of the random selection of the closed beta invitation code were released, the players who received the invitation code would have to provide proof of identity to receive the invitation code.

This directly blocked the foreign players' way of applying. This caused Dream Entertainment to say that there was regional discrimination!

The World of the Brave was only confirmed to be closed beta in China and Taiwan. There was a possibility that it would be closed beta in 66 countries in Southeast Asia. However, Lijian Province and European countries were not included. At this moment, most of the foreign players who could use proxy IPs to enter the World of the Brave's network were players who bought VPN proxy IPs. These players were not short of money.

Otherwise, would they be able to buy VPN services that cost thousands or even more?

These players who were not short of money kept causing a ruckus on Dream Entertainment's official forum, demanding that Dream Entertainment give the foreign players an explanation.

If the World of the Brave was only available in the World of the Brave, Shi Lei would not be bothered to give them an explanation. However, Shi Lei's goal was to promote the World of the Brave to the whole world. Dream Entertainment definitely wanted to rope in the local rich players.

Seeing that the regional discrimination post was getting bigger and bigger, Shi Lei immediately posted a new announcement on the official website's server.

A new announcement appeared on Dream Entertainment's official website's homepage.

Announcement regarding 'regional discrimination':

Due to the enthusiasm of some foreign players for the World of the Brave, after an emergency discussion, Dream Entertainment came up with the following measures:

6. Remove the restriction that foreign players cannot apply for the World of the Brave's closed beta invitation code.

7. Foreign players need to submit an information form and fill in a detailed identity document.

8. For foreign players who use proxy IPs to enter the World of the Brave, Dream Entertainment will not guarantee the game's quality.

9. Dream Entertainment promises that all players' identity information will be kept confidential.

After this announcement was posted, a large number of foreign players immediately praised Dream Entertainment on the official forum. However, a new problem appeared!

The third section of Dream Entertainment's official website was regarding the issue of the Dream Entertainment's press conference tickets. Due to the restriction on Shuangqing City's players, players from other cities in the World of the Brave started to cause a ruckus like the foreign players.

For example, a rich Beijing player wanted to announce the press conference. Why could only Shuangqing City's players participate? The Beijing players could take a plane and come directly to Shuangqing City for the press conference!

Players from all over the country agreed. This made the Shuangqing City's players very distressed. After all, this was a benefit that Dream Entertainment gave to the local players. However, it was ruined by those damned rich players!

Shi Lei rubbed his head. He did not know if he should change the restriction on the press conference tickets. If he did not change it …
