University professors experience games for years and write books.
until today, the game is still not a good thing in the eyes of most people, and some experts and professors from time to time have accusations. A few days ago, South China University of Technology teachers also published a book about their experience of playing games and exposing the traps in bad online games. Ming Zongfeng, Professor of mathematics science, South China University of Technology, Deputy Secretary General of China's green network construction and Communication Alliance.
in the virtual world of online games, he is a man with multiple characters and who can change his status at any time. In real life, he is an educator. He dabbled in online games for several years and spent more than ten thousand yuan to buy virtual equipment. He experienced all sorts of joy, disappointment, grief and glory in the virtual world of the Internet, and experienced the addiction of Internet addiction to the reason of reason. These are recorded in a book just published entitled "Internet addiction is so refined". Recently, the reporter went to the school of mathematics of South China University of Technology, listening to the author of Ming Zong Feng exposing the trap of bad online games and shady.
college professors experience games for several years to reveal the secrets of online games,
"free" are all legends
"I am also a dream person, academic breakthroughs have always been my pursuit." Ming Zong Feng is a lecturer in the school of mathematics, South China University of Technology, who is a senior lecturer in mathematics and engineering mathematics. On weekdays, I like reading and writing. Life is simple and calm.
2005 October, one day, when he was in class, a student hurried to ask for leave, saying that one of his cousin who often played games in the Internet cafe was unable to stand the accusation of his father and teacher. Although the previous class also had students obsessed with the influence of online games, they were surprised to hear that "in order to play games, they have to end their lives to retaliate their relatives". From that moment, Ming Zong Feng, who never touched online games, had the idea of how to make people addicted to online games.
a month later, Ming Zong Feng found that the book of purchase was accompanied by a CD-ROM of a free game. According to the prompt, he installed the software on the computer. He wants to see how mysterious the legendary online games are.
"how grand and realistic game scenes!" Just login into the game, Ming Zong Feng was attracted by the scene in front of him. Seeing the roles he controls and other players are busy living in the "city", Ming Zong Feng has a kind of inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
when he was intoxicated by the passion and joy of the Internet game, the screen popped up a dialog box, "the balance was insufficient, please recharge", and the game was only 30 minutes left. "First, take a free advertisement to seduce the game to give a" sweet date "and then stop it. Ming Zongfeng said, online game designers know how to grasp the psychology of netizens.
"despite my efforts to control my emotions, I decided that all the beautiful scenes in the game and the original intention of my own research game". Ming Zongfeng recalls that after having experienced an ideological struggle, he eventually spent 15 yuan near the Internet cafe outside the school to buy a game recharge card, which started a career in the world.
bought money to continue playing the game. Ming Zong Feng did as much as he could to meet the players. He completed the task efficiently and got the role upgrade. But he soon discovered that although he did not hurt others, he was often bullied by other players, or there was always an impossible task to be done by a helper.
a female player named "red sleeve adds fragrance" is one of the assistant of Ming Zong Feng. "She was 70 grade at that time, for me, it was simply a" protector ". Ming Zongfeng said that whenever he didn't work well, he would shout "red sleeve to add fragrance" to help. And the other side is always willing to help, and let Ming Zong Feng worship her as a teacher.
during the communication process, Ming Chung Feng learned that the true identity of the "female chivalrous guest" was a senior China University of Mining and Technology student who had been playing online games for more than two years. "She is a very smart girl. If she spends most of her energy in her studies, she must be an excellent student. I have advised her many times that I hope she can put more energy into finishing her graduation project, but she seems to have a clear conscience and is not worried about her future.
the pursuit of top-level equipment is the trap of
for a long time, Ming Zong Feng set up a certain social circle in the game, and also familiar with the world full of mystery. When the system again prompted "continue to recharge", he did not hesitate as before, bought a package year service with 476 yuan. The level of
online games is getting higher and higher, and the demand for equipment is becoming more and more luxurious. But it doesn't work without money. During this period, the system will occasionally launch a variety of equipment props, "preferential", "discount", "gift" and other information, attracting a lot of players like "drug addiction" as flocking. The money buried in it can't feel pain from thousands to thousands of dollars. They are pursuing gorgeous equipment that can resist the invasion of others, or the magic weapons that can beat other players.
in Ming games, Ming Zong Feng has many different roles (trumpet) that can be converted to get acquainted with more genre players or to store "wealth". When all the characters had risen to level 80, he found that the primary battlefield was no longer accessible.
the rich rewards of the battlefield stimulated him to continue to join a more advanced national war. However, unlike the primary battlefield, no matter how hard he exerts his skills, he can not avoid the fate of being killed. In desperation, he found that the most powerful players were equipped with top Marshal equipment.
"to get Marshal equipment first to get the rank of Marshal, in addition to maintaining online participation in all battlefield battles and striving for victory every day, it is also necessary to use a kind of prop called military power, which can double the military merit that players get in the battle. This is a long process which takes time and energy, because in accordance with the rules of the game, a slight interruption will result in nothing. Ming Zong Feng now recollection, can not help but sigh: "buried in the trap of attracting gold, its profiteering degree is unimaginable!" "
" a "brilliant military service chapter" of the prop is better than the ordinary military Gong Zhang, a day can be killed in 4 battlefield, the price is 280 yuan, a month down to 8400 yuan. Ming Zongfeng said that there are three varieties of military merit, and the more they spend, the higher the doubling. If you want to use a marshal for permanent use, you must get a permanent Marshal Rank, which must be more than 1 million yuan, and at least 15 weeks of Marshal Rank, and how much energy and money is unthinkable.
account was stolen to report the case to the police to report to the police on
Ming Zong Feng said that the online game provided numerous business services to players from the purchase of equipment and value added, and the accumulated personal wealth of money and time, such as the "tyrant" in real life, attracted the attention of the people. At the same time, there will also be malicious people steal these equipment.
"in the online game, the players may be faced with swindlers, which is the same as real life swindlers." Ming Zongfeng said he is looking for a ring that can increase the speed of Wugong's display by 9% in the game. Someone called 6 "big tickets" (the net money, the RMB about 300 yuan). When he paid, he got a pile of rubbish, and the cheater had long escaped without a trace.
, which is worse than the nature of fraud in online games, is directly stealing players' accounts to obtain money in reality. Ming Zongfeng recalls that in June 2008, his three accounts were stolen, and all valuables were transferred under his own eyes. Ming Zong Feng made a quick phone call to the game customer service, trying to prevent the hacker from transferring the property in the game. However, no matter how to plead, the customer service said, "it has frozen the account, but can not provide the stolen property of the transfer direction, and can not effectively recover all the articles stolen by the lawless elements." Ming Zongfeng said that these accounts had been online for three or four years, and all the stolen items were calculated by Yuan Yuan.
after querying, he found that the computer address of IP is the headquarters of the game's R & D headquarters. "Who can understand the loopholes in the game and can successfully steal without leaving traces?" In order to find out whether the game company's internal crime is committed, Ming Zong Feng went to report to the police station in the area.
"a golden stick, a horse, 4 million gold, 3 Wulin secrets, a heaven and earth Xuan Huang weapon, some Eight Diagrams", Ming Zong Feng will list the stolen items one by one clearly, the police can not understand. It was not until Ming Zong Feng explained the concept of online games that the police felt that "this is a new problem worthy of concern" and invited him to do training. After the case was put on file, it was a pity that it ended up in the end because of technical reasons.
bad net swimming trap and the black screen
in the view of Ming Zong peak, the virtual environment provided by the network game is actually a huge trap. The player will be affected by the rules of the game unconsciously with the increase of time and energy, and become the victim of the bad game rules. "In the game world, players' psychological weaknesses are thoroughly stimulated, and many game companies employ a lot of psychology and pedagogics experts to study the weaknesses of human nature, and then design the rules of the game according to human weaknesses."
"now many media use star endorsement game ads, and some games are also free to cover the whole life, attracting players to enter. More overly speaking, games are not only free, but also pay for games. Ming Zongfeng said, in fact, the so-called wage in the game is nothing more than some game currency. When the player enters the game, the system will make the player feel the satisfaction of self value, and will also make many friends in the game. However, when the player is immersed in the joy brought by the game, he will suddenly suffer the slaughter of some people wearing advanced equipment.
"being slaughtered in the game is like feeling slapped in reality, because the character you control is representative of yourself." Ming Zongfeng said that the hate and revenge desire produced by the injured players will allow them to carry out retaliation, and the game is just to cater to this mentality and automatically record the people who kill you as enemies to help the players to revenge revenge. When players see the enemy's advanced equipment, they will quickly produce the desire to buy or build this equipment.
this kind of equipment can only be acquired through a game company, either directly in the network mall provided by the game, or by buying material to build itself. In any way, the cost is quite amazing. In some games, the top equipment needs tens of thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Game companies are smarter. When they find that many players in the game have advanced equipment, they will lose no time to launch more advanced equipment. "This is equivalent to changing a game to two for a game company."
"game companies through this means directly turn the wealth of players into their own property." Ming Zongfeng believes that this is the use of the legal gap in the virtual world to create "inflation", through the uncontrolled circulation of virtual currency and constantly update the advanced equipment, so that players use a large amount of RMB accumulated virtual goods devaluation, but the player has no way to maintain their rights. In fact, let the majority of players do not know that those who first killed you in the game, not necessarily real players, a lot of the game company specially hired gunmen, in other words is the child!
Ming Zong Feng said, "what are the pricing rules of virtual products in the game world? No such department has yet to restrain and manage it. At present, under the rule of law environment in China, game companies are allowed to do so. They can make all kinds of virtual goods in accordance with the principle of maximization of interests, and price them arbitrarily, without the need of any business or price department to supervise and manage them. In order to avoid disputes or contradictions, some game companies have direct ownership of the virtual goods issued by the game company through the user agreement, that is, the ownership of the props that the players spend a lot of money does not belong to the user itself.
Ming Zong Feng said that he did not agree with the concept of "Internet addiction". Normal network behavior is generally not addictive, chat, news, information, online shopping and so on, usually do not reach the degree of addiction, even if the addiction generally does not cause danger to users. After investigation, Internet addiction is basically consistent with online game addiction, and Internet addiction caused by online games is only a small part. "Human nature has weaknesses, and bad games just take advantage of these weaknesses of human nature, just like drugs." In order to really solve the problem of "Internet addiction", we must start with the standard game itself, formulate reasonable, healthy and green game standards and rules, make the mechanism of binding the players with the weakness of human nature, set certain threshold of the game and restrict the unsuitable people to enter the game. At the same time, the state should perfect the legislation and strengthen the supervision. And set up corresponding illegal and illegal operation reporting mechanism.
free game is not free this is the truth that everyone knows, the reality is so, so much energy and financial resources and development of the game can not be public goods, then the use of products and services to pay a certain amount of money. However, some games will always set up a charge to stimulate the consumption of the players, and even have a trap for the money to deliberately set traps and other players jump, but it all is based on the individual, or not in the pocket of consumption or not, we can not only attribute all the responsibility to the game.
