Abstract

This study analyzed the crafting contents that have a great influence on the communication activation in MMORPG. Four situations were set by combining the factors that would affect the game world. The set of behaviors selected by the virtual player according to each situation is defined as a player scenario. As a result, we found problems such as bias of contents using and barriers of skill growth. This study is meaningful in that it presents a basic analysis method appling at the MMORPG developing and reveals the factors to be considered in the designing crafting contents.

본 연구는 MMORPG의 커뮤니케이션 활성화에 큰 영향을 미치는 제작 콘텐츠를 분석하였다. 게임 월드에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 조합하여 4가지 상황을 설정하였다. 각 상황에 따른 가상 플레이어가 선택하는 행동의 집합을 플레이어 시나리오로 정의하였다. 그 결과 콘텐츠 활용 편향성과 기술 숙련의 진입장벽 등의 문제를 발견하였다. 본 연구는 MMORPG 개발 단계에서 적용 가능한 기초적인 분석 방법을 제시하였다는 점과 제작 콘텐츠 설계에서 고려해야 할 요소를 밝혔다는 점에 그 의의가 있다.
