초록

본 연구는 3D게임의 완성도와 사용자의 플레이 욕구를 높이기 위해 다양한 몰입요소들 중 사용자 이동시스템을 서비스하고 있는 게임에서 이동수단의 하나인 '비행' 행위에 따른 사용자의 심리적 반응을 분석하였다. 게임 내 이동시스템 종류인 포탈, 탑승물, 소환, 추적 등의 사용자 이동 구도를 살펴보고, 비행시스템이 존재하는 게임에서 사용자들에 미치는 영향과 기준을 통해 Aion 게임을 대상으로 객관적인 설문통계 방법을 이용하여 비행 이동이 사용자들에게 심리적으로 미치는 영향과 요인들에 대해 분석하였다. 그렇게 분석된 결과를 토대로 게임에서의 비행 이동이라는 요소, 각 게임 별 비행 이동시스템 구조와 각 배경그래픽이 게임 사용자의 심리적 행동이나 반응 요소, 사용자가 게임 속 가상세계의 지형에 따른 비행을 하고 싶은 충동성, 비행 시스템에 대한 사용자의 의존성 그리고 비행과정에서의 비행 행동과 배경이 되는 가상세계의 표현 수준에 따른 몰입감(沒入感) 등의 특징을 밝혀낼 수 있었으며, 이용시간, 연령층, 레벨에 따라 비행행동 반응에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This research aimed to analyze the way of how flying movement system and background graphic in MMORPG, which provides movement system, influences on users' psychological behavior in order to enhance user's participation and the completion level of 3D game.
