Chapter 1079 Christmas Game

Christmas of 2101 is coming. It is said that a hundred years ago, Christmas was a carnival day for businessmen.

Apples, which are cheap on ordinary days, are coated with gold called the "festival effect" during Christmas. The money that could buy a bag of apples can only buy one.

In addition to these, there are many, many [discounts]. These discounts are like the legendary ripper wandering in the foggy city, silently harvesting the wallets of one couple after another.

At that time, if anyone said they wanted to stay at home and participate in Christmas activities, they would definitely be shamefully labeled as a "nerd".

But now that virtual stealth technology has matured, it is rare not to spend Christmas in the game. As long as there is virtual stealth technology, we can gather in one place even if we are in different places.

The "Christmas Party Series" was the first game to take the plunge. The first version of "Christmas Party Family" was released when virtual stealth technology was not yet so perfect.

Although it was not good in every aspect and the activity area was only as big as one room, the Christmas atmosphere was restored very well, with a fireplace, Christmas tree, Christmas songs, and the feeling of a family gathering together.

Nowadays, people are becoming more and more lazy about festivals. For most people, only festivals that have holidays are worth remembering. The main reason for this is that it is too troublesome to clean up afterwards.

Preparation takes two or three days, or even a week, followed by a happy evening, and then cleaning up the mess of this happy evening, which makes you unhappy for several days.

"Christmas Party · Family" solves this problem very well. All you need to prepare is to buy the game, then go online at the appointed time to start celebrating, and then log off after the celebration.

"Christmas Party · Family" firmly hit the people's inner desire for "liveliness" at that time. In addition, virtual stealth technology had a lot of attention at the time. It became a hit once it was released, and there was even an adult version.

Of course, the "Christmas Party Series" soon began to rely on its old reputation. While not making any progress, it relied on the popularity and sentiment at the time to continuously add mini-game functions to the game.

Players don’t care much about it, and they even have more fun playing these retro mini-games. Sometimes they will play them even if it’s not Christmas.

However, those mini-games soon required paid lottery tickets to obtain, and the playing time also had to be charged. In addition, the graphics were not optimized and there were many bugs, endless costumes, and Christmas plots added by the production team without authorization. The "Christmas Party Series" was quickly eliminated.

However, the popularity of celebrating Christmas in the virtual world brought about by the "Christmas Party Series" continues, and various game manufacturers are also seizing the business opportunity to launch a variety of Christmas activities.

Unfortunately, most game manufacturers cannot satisfy players' desire for "liveliness". Their technical strength can only produce excellent stand-alone games, and the network function they provide is very unstable. The "Christmas Party Series" abandons almost all gameplay and only has a room-sized map.

But there is a game that will not experience any fluctuations or delays even if tens of millions of people log in at the same time. The content is extremely rich, and the graphics are so exquisite that they seem fake in the real world.

It would be a shame not to have Christmas in Godlock.

Although the official does not provide Christmas events, if you only celebrate when the official events are provided, it means that you have not yet grasped the essence of "Godlock".

The first Christmas, players organized it themselves, in guilds or city taverns. Although it was a mess, it seemed to have a kind of long-lost happiness.

But after the happiness comes confusion. Should I do it myself for the second Christmas? It is impossible to find joy in misery every time.

Some people made suggestions to the authorities, but those who made the suggestions felt that they had done something stupid. The authorities would not interfere with the rules of the game world, and it was impossible for them to fabricate a festival out of thin air for the players and let NPCs accompany the players to celebrate the event.

Freedom is the biggest shining point of Godlock, and it is not only the players who are free, but also the NPCs in it. Players have the right to urge the game to become better and make players have more fun, but Christmas cannot be left to the official, and players have to work hard on their own.

This year, the Fairy Kingdom started soliciting opinions early on whether to hold Christmas in Avalon Park. They are willing to provide the venue, some small activities, and of course a huge Christmas tree.

Although [Avalon Park] can only accommodate a maximum of one million people, as long as it is lively enough, it can get off to a good start and make next year's Christmas activities more organized.

Players expressed their expectations on the Internet, but there was disappointment in their expectations.

Even if Avalon Park does not charge admission, it will not allow all players to enjoy the joy of Christmas. They will have to wait until next year. This year, they can only look at the excitement in the window like the little match girl.

Knowing that there would be a bigger and more extensive Christmas event in [Avalon Paradise], Christmas in other places could not be held. After taking a look at the decorations being prepared in [Avalon Paradise], most of the guilds sighed and gave up.

This was a case of good intentions leading to bad results, as it unintentionally dampened the enthusiasm for the festival and caused constant riots in the Fairy Kingdom.

Just then, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] appeared and stole all the Christmas enthusiasm from [Avalon Paradise] with just two lines of slogans.

[The largest Christmas event in history, accommodating tens of millions of people at the same time! ]

【Christmas warm-up event, unlimited lucky draw! 】

The venue is located at [L-22], which is a very rare place.

The players in the exploration team are currently exploring that place. The environment is disgusting and abnormal, but only the players in the exploration team can enjoy it without any restraint. Most of the players, even the top players, will be persuaded to quit.

But I didn't expect that it had already been conquered and even the environment had changed.

[Hermes's Traveling Hat] is called the official incarnation, and sometimes players jokingly call the official [Hermes's Traveling Hat], and often as soon as [Hermes's Traveling Hat] releases a notice of a large-scale event, the official will follow up with an event announcement.

Jokes aside, players can actually understand that the official is helping to expand its influence.

Players are somewhat pessimistic about the Christmas event organized by Hermes' Traveling Hat. How could NPCs possibly understand a festival that appeared out of nowhere? How could they, the players, understand Christmas?

But when they arrived at the scene.

Snow-capped mountains, a mysterious, sparkling lake, and a Christmas tree and sleigh with gifts hanging on them...

The perfect Christmas event scene!

In fact, players don’t really understand Christmas, they just want to join in the fun.
