Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Fat Cat, for the clue delivery against the current! CTOnews.com, January 23, today is January 23, the second day of the Lunar New year, and it is also a day for a number of Blizzard games to say goodbye to mainland Chinese players (and may never be seen again).

As NetEase and Blizzard will end their cooperation, the service of their games will be terminated at midnight today. Blizzard has previously announced that after World of Warcraft is closed, players will need to save the game data locally for the possible restart day. It is also jokingly known as the "electronic urn" by players.

At 12:00 this evening, that is, 0: 00 on the 24th, many games jointly played by NetEase and Blizzard, such as World of Warcraft, hearthstone Legend, Watch Pioneer, StarCraft, Warcraft III: reset, Diablo III and Storm Hero, will be terminated, but at present, only World of Warcraft can save the game progress. So Warcraft players need to put down their own "electronic urn" before midnight today.

Of course, the "electronic urn" is just a tease by players. This feature is an electronic archive developed by Blizzard for national service players, which allows players to save World of Warcraft archives locally, and your game files are usually only the size of 100~200KB.

After logging in to the game, World of Warcraft players can find the Lock account dialog box from the lower left corner, enter the Chinese character "Lock account" in the dialogue, and click "download Progress Archive". The role of the account will be locked immediately and cannot be unlocked.

Official tip: if the download is not successful for the time being, the role will also be locked. If this happens, please try again later.

CTOnews.com reminds you that this operation of saving the game progress is an one-off, and the download progress will immediately lock all the "World of Warcraft" game characters under the Battle. net account, and the customer service cannot be removed, so you should make it clear that you will no longer be online in the near future before saving.

NetEase also announced that the World of Warcraft game progress archiving function mentioned by Blizzard China in its statement was unilaterally proposed and developed by Blizzard and was not tested and used by NetEase. There may be unknown security risks. If this function causes players to lose their virtual property or is unable to play, Blizzard should bear full responsibility.

Expand reading:

Blizzard China: the World of Warcraft progress archiving function is safe, and NetEase is responsible for this part of the data.

"NetEase refuses Blizzard to extend details from the bottom."

Blizzard China: discussion with NetEase last week that the existing game service agreement was extended for six months was rejected.

"NetEase responded: blizzard is outrageous and inappropriate, and we have never sought control of the game IP."
