최근 온라인 게임 시장이 커지면서 게임을 위한 필수요소로 동시 접속자를 지속적으로 확보/유지해야 하는 문제가 이슈화 되고 있다. 온라인 게임을 즐기는 유저 수는 정해져 있는 반면, 게임 컨텐츠 수는 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 상황에서 온라인 게임 시장은 전형적인 레드오션[1]의 시장형태로 변모되어 가고 있다 이러한 문제를 보완하기 위한 대안으로서 본 논문에서는 에이전트 시스템을 이용한 동시 접속자를 생성, 유지할 수 있는 솔루션에 대해서 제시한다. 이를 통해 경쟁력 있는 게임 컨텐츠가 시장 진입을 보다 원활하게 할 수 있을 것으로 기대하며, 아울러 게임 초반의 스트레스 테스트를 위한 툴로써의 활용, 게임의 라이프 사이클의 증대, 경쟁력 강화로 이어질 수 있을 것으로 기대된다

When an online game is considered as a commercial product, now an online game should arouse the consumer's purchase desires as a service item. Most of all, the contents of an online game are important, but, on the other hand, beyond the online game services, it is also important to improve the accessibility of online games, which are developed through the specific testing processes. That is, it is necessary to develop comprehensive and systematic game testing processes considering even the aspects of the usability of the online games on the basis of the qualitative and measureable game tests. Therefore, this study is intended to suggest the proper scopes of the online game testing processes in a view that an online game is a commercial product.

In the online game, a game character to replace game player exists within the same game and it is very difficult to migrate to another on-line games. Also, players have taken a lot of time and effort in the character's growth. In recent years, it has raised many social side effects. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, this paper was implemented web services system based on previous studies for the migration of game character between different-type on-line game severs, and the proposed system verified through the experiment focused on 4 capability numerical value (money, HP:Hit Point, MP:Mana Point, level) between migration element of game character.

장철호 제로소프트 사장의 전직은 경찰 공무원. 마약사범 검거 포도왕 출신인 그가 온라인게임 개발사의 수장으로 변신한 이유는 기존 온라인게임 서비스업체들의 구태의연한 태도에 혈압이 상승했기 때문이란다. ‘파이널 포스 온라인(FFO)’의 베타테스트를 눈앞에 두고 마무리 작업이 한창인 제로소프트를 둘러봤다.

클라이언트-서버 구조의 온라인 게임에서 서버의 역할은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 서버에 너무 많은 사용자가 동시에 접속할 경우에는 과도한 부하로 인하여 안정적인 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 여러 대의 분산 서버를 활용한 방법이 사용되고 있다 분산 서버 구조에서는 부하가 특정 서버로 집중되는 것을 막는 것이 전체 시스템의 성능 향상을 위하여 필요하다. 이를 위하여 부하 평형 기법을 사용하고 있으며 관련 연구도 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 분산 서버를 이용한 온라인 게임 서버의 구조를 설계하고, 대량 사용자의 제약을 극복하기 위한 하나의 방안으로 다중 서버 시스템에서 실행되는 게임 서버 프로세스들에 대한 부하 평형 기법을 제시한다. 제안된 기법에서는 전체 게임을 소규모의 여러 게임 세상(Game World)으로 나누고 서비스가 진행되는 상황에서 게임 세상을 게임 서버들 사이에서 이동시킨다.

'리펜트' 온라인은 위즈게이트에서 개발하고 엠게임에서 서비스하고 있는 3D 온라인게임으로 고대 중동의 아라베크 대륙을 배경으로 당시 큰 세력을 형성했던 밧셀과 쿰란 두 종교간의 싸움과 영토전쟁을 배경으로 하고 있다(기획 당시 중동과 이스라엘간의 분쟁을 모티브로 기획되었다고 하나 개발과정에서 사회적 분쟁의 소지가 있다고 판단해 고대종교전쟁으로 수정되었다는 이야기가 있다.).

The most important service of the online game is the stability. However, in online games, the increase in the number of users burdens the server as thousands of users connect to the server at the same time. While various techniques to reduce the load on the server are studied, the study is limited only to the server part like an improvement of server algorithms. In this paper, a program to handle the largest load of the server, the message synchronization of both the server and client, is designed and implemented.

With the development of online game industry, the focal structure of game industry is under the expansion from content production to service management. In line with the trend, game service management and user satisfaction to the service as well have gained their weight in the game industry. However, since previous studies have focused on content production, little was discussed on the game service management. The current study investigated the effects of game service on user satisfaction. In addition, we tested the effects of a user's game service satisfaction on the user's loyalty toward the games with consideration of the user's content satisfaction and the gaming period. Results showed that there is a significant association between service satisfaction and user loyalty in the user's continual use of the games. Specifically, light users showed high loyalty with the increase of service satisfaction as they continue playing the games.

Recently, online-game industry has been rapidly expanding in these days. But, the various game service victimized cases are generated by the bots program. Particularly, the abnormal collection of the game money and item loses the inherent fun of a game. It reaches ultimately the definite bad effect to the game life cycle. In this paper, we propose a Bots detection method by observing the playing patterns of game characters with game log data. It analyzed behaviors of human players as well as bots and identified features to build the model to differentiate bots from human players. In an experiment, by using the served online-game, the model of a user and bots were generated was distinguished. And the reasonable result was confirmed.

This study attempted to explore what are the benefits that online game consumers seek in their on-line game consumption. Nowadays many on-line game consumers are extremely absorbed in the on-line game. The purpose of this study was to find the benefits that make people enjoy on-line games enthusiastically based on the Q methodology. Q methodology is a way to understand a person's structure of subjectivity. This study applied Q methodology to clarifying consumers' subjective evaluation of the on-line game benefit s. 28 Q questions were prepared through literature review, and were offered to 30 consumers. The subjects were divided into the four types seeking different benefits with on-line games: communication, enjoyment, achievement, and escapism. The results suggested that the benefits of on-line game are beyond the general characteristics of the game including human network or achievement in the on-line game community.
