A quest in MMORPG functions as a unit of game narrative. It is an essential part to progress game narrative and to construct player's own storyline. In addition, it makes player to expand her territory and helps with character growth by giving reward. A quest consists of four essential elements : the quest giver, the background story, the objective and the reward. A quest shows a blanch structure with two nodes which is same as Claude Bremond's elementary sequence. The sequence of each functions cannot be changed, therefore, it can be explained through a syntagma model. On the other hand, spatial disposition of quests follows a paradigm model. In order to construct a MMORPG narrative, a player connects quests into a single narrative by carrying out them.

최근 네트워크가 발달함에 따라 게임 산업에도 많은 변화가 나타났다. 네트워크 게임이 다수 개발되었고, 그들의 인기가 놀아짐에 따라 게임 트래픽이 네트워크 및 인터넷에 미치는 영향은 높아지게 되었다. 우리는 네트워크와 인터넷 환경을 개선하기 위해, 대표적인 peer-to-peer 기반의 게임인 스타크래프트의 트래픽으로부터 패킷 전송 매커니즘을 분석하고 이를 개선하기 위한 새로운 패킷 전송 구조를 제안한다. 새로운 패킷 전송 구조에서는 동일한 서브넷에 있는 호스트들을 하나의 그룹으로 묶고, 그룹을 대표하는 하나의 호스트를 선하여 해당 호스트만 인터넷을 통해 패킷을 송수신하게 된다. 따라서 인터넷을 통한 패킷 전송량을 대폭 감소시킬 수 있게 된다. 결론적으로 인터넷의 품질을 향상시키고, 개인 사용자에게 향상된 게임 환경을 제공한다.

In the game industry, traditional game development way was to develop a game engine in advance before developing game content. This has the disadvantage is the high cost of developing the game engine. Further, there is a problem that the game content are not developed unless the game engine is prepared in advance. In order to solve these problems, the game industry has recently selected a method of purchasing a license for a commercial engine, which is a method for improving the game content development productivity, rather than concentrating on game engine development. In this paper, we describe a game object and the structure in Unity and Unreal Engine 4. We compared the editor interface and the supported development languages in the two game engines. We also implemented a First-Person Shooter game to compare how the player's configuration and event handling differ from the two game engines.

In this paper, I propose a distributed game server system which has flexibility of enormous game character's processing in MMORPG using block scheme. I proposed game servers in distributed system grouped with zone which charge of each map, and the game servers in this zone divide game map into several unit blocks and process distributing blocks to game servers according to its performance. I proposed distributed game server system using block scheme can add/drop game map to/from easily through block process method in game and communication servers. Therefore, my proposed system can enormous character processing and add user created game map to existed game map easily in the future as well. Also, my scheme increases the system utilization and upgrades system stability by dynamic distribution of game map according to the number of characters and performance of servers.
