Abstract

Recently game industry is emerging as a core of the domestic cultural contents by rapid development of IT technology and also the market scale has growing highly every year. Among various games, particularly the market ratio of MMORPG increases rapidly in domestic and oversea online game market. However it is true that the competition in the oversea market is too week for the investment to the MMORPG development efforts from the domestic game industry. Accordingly this paper collects the interests which players concern. Also this paper analyses and classifies design elements of successful MMORPGS as a way to obtain competition and shows a model in terms of game software qualify to be referred by MMORPG development organizations or companies.

최근 게임 산업은 IT 기술의 빠른 성장에 힘입어 국내 문화 콘텐츠 산업의 핵심 산업으로 부각되고 있고 또한 시장 규모도 매년 급속한 성장을 보이고 있다. 다양한 게임 종류 중 특히 MMORPG 게임은 국내외 온라인 게임시장에서 차지하는 비율이 급속도로 높아가고 있다. 그러나 국내 게임 산업에서 투자하고 있는 MMORPG 게임개발 노력에 비해 해외 시장의 경쟁력 기반은 턱없이 빈약한 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 논문은 성공적인 디자인 요소로 플레이어의 관심사항을 수집한다. 그리고 경쟁력 확보를 위한 방안으로 세계적으로 성공한 MMORPG 게임디자인 요소를 분석하고 이들 요소를 정리하여 MMORPG 개발과 관련된 기관과 업체가 참조할 수 있는 소프트웨어 품질 측면의 디자인 모델을 제시한다.
