Alex had set Elder Scrolls: Warcraft to release in 3 days, which was enough for hundreds of thousands of people to lose sleep and millions to have difficulty focusing on studies and work because they kept thinking about this magical game that would to emerge.
But what surprised Alex most was a rather unexpected appearance.
As he had read many MMORPG-themed novels in his previous life, a very common thing was that big companies in the real world would invest millions of dollars to make a Guild in the game too, since in those novels the games were so developed that the Game economy could even affect the real world economy.
Not to mention the publicity that these big companies received for being giant Guilds in those games, that was something priceless.
Of course, for there to be big guilds, there had to be millions of small guilds as well, and that's where the big guilds came into their own.
Looking at the Oasis report on the guilds that were already forming, Alex found some familiar names.
[Black Panther Guild: Guild made 98% of players with Wakanda IP.
Current leader: Shuri, the princess of the kingdom of Wakanda.
Current Trend: Horde.]
[Osborn Guild: Guild made by players from different regions of the USA, composed of diverse talents in the most diverse areas.
Current leader: Norman Osborn.
Current Trend: Alliance.]
[Asgard Palace: Guild made by the 5 Asgardians who came to Earth and with more other drinking friends and powerful warriors that the Asgardians found.
Current leader: Thor Odinson.
Current Trend: Alliance.]
[Ned's Kingdom: Guild made by Ned, Peter and Hulk, plus thousands of Ned's followers.
Current leader: Ned Leeds.
Current Trend: Horde.]
[X-Guild…]
Looking at the list of Guilds, Alex was surprised that the Horde was competing very closely with the Alliance in terms of interest.
Since in the first races of the game, Alex had to admit that the Alliance races were much prettier, while the Horde races were much more brutish and savage.
But considering that people saw it as a game, maybe more different races like the Horde seemed a lot more fun and interesting, after all, experiencing the game as a human would be like experiencing a medieval movie that they've seen hundreds of times, but experiencing that as a race of the Horde would be like experiencing something completely new.
The three days of warming up for Elder Scrolls: Warcraft passed very quickly, with the data in hand, what surprised Alex the most was that the largest Guild of each faction was Ned's Kingdom in the Horde with 371,000 Players in the forum they made, and in Alliance it was the Magic School with Stranger as the Guild Leader, which had 411,000 Players.
'Apparently my demonstration of magic in the battle against the Abomination greatly increased Players' interest in the magic classes in the game.' Alex soon understood the reason for this Magic School's rapid growth.
Stopping looking at the data in front of him and turning his gaze to the side, Alex asked who was next to him.
"And you, have you decided which faction you will be part of?"
Hearing Oli's question, the person looked at him angrily and replied rudely.
"I won't play that."
Alex imagined this response and projected a floating image in front of that person.
In the floating image there was a big player with green skin and a red shirt surrounded by other players.
"The Hulk is currently one of the most famous figures in the Horde..."
But before Alex finished speaking, the other person interrupted him.
"-I'm going to be from the Horde!" Abomination said with determination and fanaticism on his face.
"Do you want to join the Hulk?" Alex asked with a half smile at the corner of his mouth.
Abomination was furious as he denied it. "Never! I will fight the Hulk and defeat him every chance I get until I take away everything he has!"
Alex just nodded and let that matter go, he could feel that Abomination wasn't being 100% truthful in what he said, but that time would show what was right or wrong.
With 5 minutes left until the scheduled launch time of Elder Scrolls: Warcraft, millions of people gathered in front of the game's castles across all Oasis hubs.
Players who weren't that interested in the game and just came to see what it would look like even felt a little dumbfounded and considered whether they should try out the game that so many people have been wanting to play.
With that more and more Players arrived and if this wasn't a game, but the real world, these people would be extremely hot and practically deaf because of the noise of so many people talking.
But luckily this was Oasis, despite having millions of players gathered, the temperature was still comfortable for everyone and an anti-noise game setting was automatically activated when a certain amount of Players gathered so that it didn't affect the other players too much, to the point that even with millions of people together, the noise that reached the Players was like there were only a few hundred people talking around.
That was still considerable noise, but still a lot more comfortable than listening to millions of people talking so close together.
Suddenly, on top of every castle in the hundreds of Oasis hubs, various figures appeared.
From the blue side of the castle, a blond human in golden armor decorated with several lions' heads emerged, followed by a few dozen soldiers of different races wearing lion armor.
Once they reached the top of the blue side of the castle, the millions of players in front of each castle cheered as they clapped their hands.
[FOR THE ALIANCE!]
[FOR THE ALIANCE!]
[FOR THE ALIANCE!]
Hearing the players' shout, the blond man in the center of the soldiers smiled as he nodded his head proudly.
But before the Horde players could complain, on the other side of the castle, where everything was red and black, some figures also appeared.
At the front of the group was a green-skinned Orc with a large spiked armor made of bronze and a large hammer in his hand.
Because of his height of nearly 3 meters and the fierce expression he had on his face, even the Alliance players were shocked as they looked at that huge monster.
Behind that Orc, dozens of soldiers followed with similar but less pretigious armor.
Looking at the group that just arrived, the players started screaming again.
[FOR THE HORDE!]
[FOR THE HORDE!]
[FOR THE HORDE!]
Unlike the human who smiled and waved at the players, the Orc just nodded and looked at the human with a sneering expression.
Seeing this, the Alliance players felt that their pride had been hurt and they started screaming even louder.
[FOR THE ALIANCE!]
[FOR THE HORDE!]
[FOR THE…]
With the screams of millions of players, everyone felt their blood boil, and unbeknownst to them, the Oasis system was calculating the players' enthusiasm and generating results for the first invisible battle between Horde and Alliance.
