Foreign media Interview "Washi Anger" team: Russian online game is not worse than the United States

Europe and the United States well-known media Onlinewelten recently to the Russian network development Astrum Nival conducted a deep interview, the interview content involving "Washi anger" open business Astrum Nival Company's history and the most attractive game settings and so on, the following for the interview details: we know, Nival is best known for its stand-alone games. How did you transition to an MMO developer? Did you make a simple adjustment, or did you make a thorough reorganization? Astrum Nival predecessor is Nival Online, in the year before the Astrum Online entertainment only joined its. As early as 2003, Astrum Online Entertainment was already the top free MMORPG operator in Russia.　　Currently, Astrum Online Entertainment has occupied 60% of the Russian online gaming market. Nival Online has more than 10 years of experience in game development, has developed a number of very famous games, such as "Heroes Invincible 5" and "The Sky Overlord." Our previous game is not a simple stand-alone game, very early joined the multiplayer line mode. We not only have a long history of game development, but also have rich experience in game operation and community management.　　Nival Online is also the first free client MMORPG operator in Russia.　　Can you introduce the background of the core team of "Washi Anger", which works? Washi's core development team has developed many famous games, such as Heroes 5, Blitzkrieg, Silent Storm and Washi Fury (the first of the Allods series). The team has more than 12 years of successful experience, from the middle of the 90 began to develop offline games, and then quickly into the field of online gaming. "Washi anger" may be the world's first to join the multiplayer online content of the RPG computer games. The development team loves the idea of aggregating hundreds of players into the same world. 　　But the technology was not enough to realize their dream. It was not until 2006, when Astrum Nival (formerly Nival Online) was founded, that the dream was realized. 　　Since then, the company has been committed to the development of MMO games. In addition to engaging in game development, Astrum Nival also runs several online games from Asia in the Russian market, including the most popular "perfect World" in Russia.　　As a result, Astrum Nival has extensive experience in the field of MMO gaming, including development and operations, which is critical to the success of Washi Fury. "Washi Wrath" is the first Russian-produced MMO to enter the Western world. What are the Russian features in the game? A lot of people get Astrum NivaL and Blizzard, "Washi anger" and wow do compare what do you think? "Washi anger" indeed has a distinctive Russian characteristics. Careful players will surely find that the game refers to the history and culture of Russia.　　We always focus on the internationalization of products and cultural inclusiveness, every player can find in the game of their familiar things, it is this "unutterable, inexpressible" style makes this game unique. As for my colleague Blizzard, is a respected company, but our company regardless of history and development of the game's quality is not worse than blizzard, whether it is "heroes" or "Angry Magician". Some people say "Washi anger" is "WoW Clone", I do not agree with this statement, after all, stand-alone version of the "Washi wrath" of the history of the 10 years ago.　　And the content of the game is the continuation of the story in stand-alone version. Players who have played "Washi wrath" know that our game has many unique innovations, such as "Spaceship warfare" and many interesting games.　　This is not the World of Warcraft, the Russian games need to be more people understand, in this respect, we are no worse than the Americans. OK, now let's talk about "Washi wrath" online games. This game uses a stand-alone game "Washi wrath" background.　　　　Can you tell us something about the similarities and differences of these two products? In fact, these two games are very different. Stand-alone version is a combination of role-playing and instant strategy elements of a stand-alone game. 　　and "Washi Wrath" is a fantasy MMORPG with science fiction color completely. The main common denominator is that they adopt the same worldview, and are all revolutionary products: "Washi wrath" may be the world's first to join the multiplayer online RPG computer games. Nival Online likes the concept of bringing hundreds of players into the same world.　　But the technology was not enough to realize their dream. A few years later, Nival Online regained this dream, and produced the "Washi Wrath." At this point, Allods's story and worldview have been polished for 10 of years.　　The story of "Washi Wrath" occurred 1000 years after "Washi wrath".　　Please briefly introduce the background story of "Washi Wrath". The story of "Washi Wrath" takes place in a world called Sarnaut. The world is divided into many islands, and these islands are called Allods. These allods float in a mysterious magical substance called Astral. 　　And all this is due to a reason unknown to the big cataclysm caused. Astral is an aggressive substance that can devour all living objects, and only great mages can protect Allods from being destroyed. This continued for many years until people discovered astral stones, a stone that protects people astrAL in the shuttle.　　This discovery ended the era of the hegemony of the mages and opened a new era of astral travel and war. 　　There are two opposing forces in the Allods world-the Kania of freedom and the xadagan of resolute and resolute. This is the background of the Times depicted in "Washi wrath". As you can see, compared with other free MMORPG in the market, the story of "Washi Nu" is much deeper.　　Therefore, we believe that this game can be suitable for the public taste, from casual users to the likes of role-playing and research game background players will like it. Allod is a floating island in the universe. 　　Please give us an example of what we will see on the island. Imagine us standing on a giant astral ship, flying from a mysterious island to Kvatoh Allod. Looking to the right of the deck, you can see the magnificent dome of Novagred and the tall wall. The wings of the spaceship trembled slightly in the breeze blowing from the shore of the cliff. Finally, the ship stopped and our feet finally set foot on the fertile and solid ground. Dense forests are everywhere, and a cabin with gorgeous blinds makes you feel like you're in the fairy tale world. We are slowly approaching the big gate and we can feel the vitality of this huge and independent city.　　This is the main city of Kania: Novagred.　　The game has 6 major races, 8 major occupations, can you tell us about the advantages and disadvantages of a match? There are 8 major categories of occupations in the game, and depending on the race chosen by the player, the same occupation will vary. There are certain limits to the occupations available to every race, and there are 28 occupations in Washi wrath. At this point, "Washi wrath" and those excellent fee MMORPG, the player will not be able to each occupation of the play and the role of confused.　　According to the characteristics of each race, these occupations can also be divided into tanks, treatment, group control and Debuffer.　　Next, I will introduce the Elves (race) priest (large category), Chaplain (occupation). Kania's excellent Mage teness a new way of self-improvement for ordinary people. This big Mage's past became the main reason the Elves accepted the church's beliefs. The elves thought that his death was not only noble, heroic, but graceful. In the eyes of elves, this may be the biggest reason why they respect the values of the Church of the Holy Light. It is clear that the sacred rituals and the graceful icons of the solemn nobility are inseparable from the practice of the light and the ability to save lives. The elves, therefore, attach great importance to worldly service. 　　They can draw the enemy's mana and energy, make opponents lose battle, and improve their ability to play the full power of the light. You have mentioned that the task system in the game is rich and changeable.　　Can you introduce us to some new forms of tasks? There are over 1500 tasks in the game。 The task system is mainly to introduce the history of the world in depth. There are many unsolved mysteries in the Sarnaut world.　　People who love the Washi series know that there are many mysteries in Allods, and now they have the opportunity to solve the foggy history through tasks. We note that the existing free MMORPG are often criticized as "brush" games, especially from Asia.　　But Allods is by excellent European and American developers and operators, its task is rich and colorful, no less than any of the European and American charges MMORPG. "Washi Wrath" also provides a nervous stimulation of the PVP function.　　Can you give me a detailed description of PvP in the game?　　The most creative part of the PVP system in "Washi wrath" is that, in addition to the traditional PvP and GVG (the battle between Union units), players can also experience a new virtual combat model, which is to drive a Astral spacecraft for PvP combat. High-level players can have their own astral spacecraft. The spacecraft must be operated by a team of players, serving as pilots,navigator,gunners,the boarding teams and so on.　　Then they can rob. Pirate Plunder is an important play in astral. The pirates could be on their route to rob ships with booty return. As long as the enemy ship is locked, boarded the other's deck and beat the other crew, they will be able to enter the treasure room, stealing the treasure box. 　　Then, of course, they had to return to their craft and get back quickly to avoid being robbed by other ships. In order to get aboard the enemy ship, all the roles to be boarded must be set up at the delivery point (all crew members can participate). Then a flower, the boarding crew (all the characters in the range of transmission) appeared on the landing point of the attacked spacecraft.　　In a battle, the crew can teleport several times. The main goal of the boarding crew is to rob each other of the spoils found in the astral.　　Astral is a free PvP area where advanced players can enjoy the fun of fighting, chasing and robbing. Now we've learned about exciting PVP systems and mission systems. Can you tell me again that there will be other classic MMORPG in the game?　　such as mounts, houses or manufacturing systems? The game contains a large number of traditional MMORPG players: 6 large optional races and 28 optional occupations, role customization features, broad gaming world and deep story backgrounds, opposing camp systems, PvP systems, GVG systems, more than 1500 tasks, pets, manufacturing systems, And European and American players familiar with the game mode of operation and so on.　　In addition, "Washi anger" There are some original play, such as the Astral spacecraft war. About pets, the game only a certain kind of occupation to get the pet, namely pagans. Players can also customize their pets when they create roles. Druids are in this category, they can summonSpirit to assist in the fight.　　However, these animal spirits do not always maintain the physical state, and as soon as the battle is over, they disappear.　　Necromancers's Undead pets are always there, either to help fight or to accompany the owner in Daily Adventures. "Washi Wrath" also has the characteristic manufacture system which has the typical charge MMORPG. Each professional skill is embodied in the form of a small game. For example, when making an alchemist, the player will play a slot machine game. In addition, "Washi wrath" There are a number of other small games, such as the "Goblinoball" football, but goblinoball use of the ball is goblins and the head of the dead enemy. (Edit/Xu Mingming)
