The proportion of new and old players is about 4:6. This shows that this game has the ability to attract new players on the basis of continuously attracting old players to return. "

　　Hu Zhipeng further pointed out: "The return of games will undoubtedly increase the company’s income in end-game travel. Blizzard’s other games will return one after another. We have established a close relationship and consensus with the Blizzard team of each product. I think the return of the game is not just an operation to restart the server, but to be fully prepared to bring a better experience to the players. After this return, Blizzard and Thunder Fire R&D team directly established a point-to-point deep cooperation. I believe this will lay a good credit foundation for other in-depth cooperation in the future. "
