Q: When will you shut down ECB 1 servers?
A: momoStorm doesn’t work like big game developers which servers will be closed once the maintenance costs are larger than the profits. We create games because we love to and we are proud of our creation. ECB 1 servers won’t be closed as long as there are players still playing. Even though that means the server(s) are running just for one player.
Q: 你们何时会关闭ECB1服务器?
A: momoStorm不像大的游戏开发商一样,一旦维护费用高于利润,会立马关闭服务器。我们创造游戏因为我们热爱并且对作品感到骄傲。ECB1服务器不会被关闭,只要仍然有玩家在玩。就算那意味着整个服务器只为一位玩家运行。
Q: Will you stop updating ECB 2 at some point, and release ECB 3?
A: ECB 2 will be updated for lifelong time whether by major updates or patches. The game will be keep updating to keep fresh as it will be the only card game we will focus on. We have no plan for ECB 3 at all, at least not in next foreseeable 10 years.
Q: 你们会不会在某一时间停止对ECB 2的更新, 并且公布ECB 3?
A: ECB 2会终身更新,无论通过主要版本更新或补丁更新。游戏会持续更新保持新鲜度,因为这是我们唯一专注的卡牌游戏产品。我们没有任何ECB3的计划,至少在可预见的10年内不会有。
Q: Why did you release ECB 2 instead of upgrading ECB1?
A: There are many reasons. To keep it in short. Technically ECB 1 was developed in 2012. Some techniques are out of date, that’s why ECB 2 is more stable. ECB 1 also has server capacity issue, when players base grow to some point, players will suffer lags. Thus another server (Server 2 “Goddess of War”) was created to distribute the load. In ECB 2, this issue is gone as the new technique implemented allows 100 times more players to be held in one single server.
ECB 1 also has lots of design issues which it can’t be simply eliminated by an update. We cut a lot of redundant systems that were built over years and add in more in ECB 2. ECB 2 is what we believe that will make Epic Cards Battle to go further and beyond.
Q: 为什么你们发布ECB 2而不是直接更新ECB 1?
A: 有非常多的原因。简单来讲。技术上,ECB 1于2012年开发。有些技术已经落后,所以ECB 2更加稳定。 ECB 1还有服务器容量问题,当玩家数量增长至某时刻,会开始卡顿。所以另一个服务器(2服”战争女神”)被用来分担压力。在ECB 2, 这个问题因为新技术实行不复存在,并且可以允许100倍多的玩家在单一服务器上游戏。
ECB 1同样还有很多设计问题,不能够简单地通过一个更新解决。ECB 2中,我们减去了许多沉余,不必要的系统,加入了更多有用的功能。ECB 2是我们认为可以让究极卡牌决斗走得更远的未来。
