Recently, NetEase's 'Diablo Immortal' hosted a referral-based raffle event, but the official drawing at 9:00 PM on the 21st turned into an embarrassing PR disaster.
When the clock hit 9:00 PM, the servers immediately crashed. Curiously, while users were blocked, the count of participants kept rising. By 9:30 PM, those who finally gained access were told the event had expired, forcing them to accept the lowest possible 'pity' rewards. This triggered widespread skepticism, as players questioned how grand prize winners continued to accrue while the site was down, fueling suspicions of rigged 'Yinbing' (ghost accounts/bot manipulation common in Chinese gaming forums).
In the comments, community members mocked the situation, labeling it a classic example of 'NetEase ghost tactics.' Many compared it to ongoing controversies in other titles regarding lottery notarization, arguing that a major publisher like NetEase is still stuck in outdated marketing mentalities. The consensus: if you can't handle a fair event, don't run one at all.
