EA new Game "Star Wars" is expected to overtake "World of Warcraft"

"Star Wars: The Old Republic" is expected to surpass "World of Warcraft" as a new round of global network games.　　Introduction: A review of foreign media published in Tuesday, an analysis of EA's new online game Star Wars: The Old Republic, and pointed out that the game will have the opportunity to surpass the dynamic blizzard of "World of Warcraft", a new round of global network game. The following is an overview: EA's new Star Wars online game will hopefully triumph over Activision Blizzard's "World of Warcraft".　　The start of this online game has been very successful, but there is still a long way to go before the World of Warcraft, which has been in operation for 6 years. First of the old Republic so far, EA has confirmed that the number of registered users of Star Wars: The Old Republic (Star Wars:the Republic) has reached 1 million since the game was officially launched December 20. During the same period of time, players created 1.66 million new characters, the total game time has been more than 60 million hours, which is equivalent to 6 Star Wars movies to see 4 million times.　　This is a good beginning, at the same time the game has a lot of characteristics.　　"Star Wars: The Old Republic" was developed by EA's BioWare, which cost millions of of billions of dollars in investment and years of development and design work. The key question now is whether the game will be cohesive enough to attract more users from other online games.　　The game's main competitor is "World of Warcraft", which has established a very stable and loyal player group. World of Warcraft now has more than 10.3 million registered users, 1 years ago when the game released the latest information, it also set the first day of the sale of 3.3 million copies of the record.　　More content will be added to the game's fourth film, which is expected to be launched in the near future, but officials have yet to give a clear timetable. Analysts are bullish on Star Wars but some analysts have said they believe Star Wars is expected to come from behind. Last month, Blizzard had said its core users had fallen 10% to 10.3 million from 11.4 million in March.　　And every player needs to pay a monthly fee of 15 dollars a month, so this loss will mean a corresponding decrease in the company's earnings. Unlike Facebook's casual games, this large online game is charged. They use the depth of the storyline, high-quality game screen to attract players to pay the game. Star Wars's current charging standard is that the initial game software download cost 60 dollars, another one months of free game time, thereafter each month players have to pay 15 dollars monthly fee to play.　　Prices are basically similar to similar games. US Investment Analysis agency Lazard Capital CMC's analyst, Attur Bar Atul Bagga, downgraded the stock rating of Blizzard from "buy" to "neutral" (Neutral) last month.　　The decision was based primarily on a drop in the company's user base and a research report on 381 online gamers.　　The American game portal, GameSpot.com, said the study, based on the Lazard Joint Game Research agency Peanut Labs, found that Star Wars was an opportunity as the World of Warcraft became older.　　Of the current World of Warcraft players, 50% said they planned to buy Star Wars: The Old Republic, while 95% of the respondents said they had participated in the beta version of Star Wars and would also buy the product. EA's shares rose 1.8%, about 37 cents, to $21.08 a share at the close of Tuesday. And despite the impressive results of the Blizzard's "Call of Duty" (called deriving), its share price slid 3 cents to 12.17 dollars per share. (linjing)
