The declining numbers for "Dark Guardian" had likewise sounded an alarm among the senior management at Tianyi.
With the support of President Zhang Ping, a second version of the game was released during the first test phase.
In this version, a new pet system was introduced where players could acquire brand-new pets without spending any money, and these pets played a role within the game.
The pets could be used to combat monsters in the darkness, randomly obtain materials, and even be petted and interacted with, greatly relieving the fatigue of battle and giving players a chance to relax.
This feature led to a temporary recovery in user numbers for "Dark Guardian," which had been in continuous decline, but soon the numbers began to fall again.
In contrast to the continual data collapse of "Dark Guardian," the meticulously monitored statistics for "Dark Builder" were on a steady rise.
