Game interface can be described as a method for communicating the information of the game, and with increase in complexity of the game and the role of interface also becomes complex. MMORPG of the present has a greater capacity than the RPG of the past, and because there are many information game users need to know such as uniqueness of the character, maturation system, beginning users who encounter MMORPG for the first time have difficulties in grasping the concept and the information of the game. Therefore, an interface design that assists theusers in understanding and adjusting to the game is needed. For the purpose of this dissertation, a study was conducted for an MMORPG screen layout design that enables quick understanding of game information for the inexperienced younger game users.

MMORPG 대작들의 경쟁이 본격화 됐다. 온라인 게임시장의 빅3라 불리는 썬, 그라나도에스파다, 제라가 오픈베타테스트를 시작했거나 준비하고 있기 때문이다. 이런 경쟁속에서 참신함과 게임본연의 목적에 충실한 온라인게임 하나가 유저들에게 좋은 반응을 얻고 있다. 그 이름은 루니아 전기. 지난 2005년 국내 온라인 게임의 흐름이 MMORPG와 캐주얼 게임을 즐기는 헤비유저와 라이트유저로 구분됐지만, 루니아전기는 미들코어유저를 공략하고 있다. 즉 MMORPG의 중독성과 캐주얼 게임이 가진 대중성과 쉬운 조작성을 동시에 표방했다는 의미다. 그럼 1월24일 오픈베타테스트를 시작한 이후 참신한 매력으로 유저들에게 다가서고 있는 루니아전기에 대해서 살펴보도록하자.

현재까지 디지털 콘텐츠 산업을 대상으로 한 유저이노베이션 연구는 오픈 소스 소프트웨어를 기반으로 한 연구가 많았다. 하지만 이러한 오픈 소스 소프트웨어의 유저 이노베이션 주체는 프로그램 개발 능력을 보유한 소수의 유저이다. 본 논문은 이러한 소수의 유저가 아닌 다수의 유저가 참여하는 새로운 형태의 유저 이노베이션 패턴을 온라인게임 리니지 사례를 중심으로 분석하였다. 이러한 세미-오픈형 유저 이노베이션의 성공적인 수행을 위해서는 유저 의견을 흡수, 해석할 수 있는 조직 내 역량과 처리 프로세스가 중요하다.

Recently, as multi-platform game environments become common, many games of convergence genre have been produced, and the boundaries of genre division by existing platforms have become blurred. The game genre is convergence content consisting of user-centered 'narrative and play'. In this paper, we propose a game genre classification according to the user 's behavior type based on the essential recognition that the subject of the game is the user. The user's actions are done in different genres and goals and rules, and the interaction is an important act for immersion. Therefore, the user's behavioral classification and perception by the game genre are important and expected to help redefine the game structure.

Based on the research of the Public Welfare Games 'Mountaineering LightsUp', which is the main theme of helping the disadvantaged in society, this study uses the questionnaire method to obtain user data, and collects the data by using AMOS analysis for the effect of game interest elements on the experience of players. The results showed that the interesting elements (goal, obstacles, sense of belonging, atmosphere, story, information, and player to player communication) of the game were positively influenced by the experience of the game. And the questionnaire showed that the game still had problems such as playing simple, difficulty, lack of popularity, lack of feedback, and lack of storytelling. This paper also puts forward some proposals for these deficiencies. In future research, the research sample will be expanded, the research content will be improved, and the future Public Welfare Games will be designed and developed.

현재까지 나타나고 있는 공포 게임은 크게 두 가지로 나뉘어 있다. 시각적으로 유저들의 눈을 감기느냐 아니면 심리적으로 유저들의 마음을 두렵게 사로잡느냐 하는 것으로 나뉘어 공포 게임들이 출시되고 있다. 이렇게 크게 두 가지로 나뉘고 있지만 이 두 가지를 또 나누어 시각적인 공포로는 점프 스케어, 즉 갑툭튀 방식의 플레이가 더 공포를 느끼는지 아니면 게임에 크리처가 나온다면 그 크리처의 모습만으로 공포감을 느끼는지, 심리적인 공포로는 크리처가 없는 심리 공포 게임이 무서운지 아니면 크리처가 있는 심리 공포 게임이 무서운지로 더 자세히 나누어 흔하디흔한 공포 게임들의 선입견을 찾아보고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 유저들이 공포 게임을 접할 때 시각적으로 더 공포감이 느껴지는지 아니면 심리적으로 더 공포감이 느껴지는지에 대한 선입견 차이를 통계를 통해 설명하고 해당 공포심으로 공포 게임들의 공포 방향성을 어떻게 바뀌어야 할지 제안을 하고자 한다.

This paper suggests the way to build the integration of internal server by using link server with virtualization method. With the development of on-line games, game communities began to be formed by users, players get fun from playing games, sharing online space with friends, clans, and parties. However, the limit of physical server restrict the allows under average a hundred users to play at same time and place, and three thousand to ten thousand people to access to game community with chat, message, friends functions. By following the explanation of the method from this paper, this limit can be overcome. It will give the function to share information of all connected users in one displayed server. This paper demonstrates the key quality requirements of the server built by this way such as scalable architecture, consistency, and latency is fulfilled.

In MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game), users advance their own characters to get to the maximum (max) level by performing given tasks in the game scenario. Although it is crucial to retain users with high levels for running online games successfully, little efforts have been paid to investigate them. In this study, by analyzing approximately 60 million in-game logs of over 50,000 users, we aimed to investigate the process through which users achieve the max level and churn of such users since the moment of achieving the max level, and determine possible indicators related to churn after the max level. Based on the result, we can predict churn of the max level users by employing behavioral patterns before the max level. Moreover, we found users who are socially active and communicate with many people before the max level are less likely to leave the service (p<0.05). This study supports that communication patterns are important factors for persistent usage of the users who achieve the max level, which has practical implications to guide elite users on enjoying online games in the long run.
