Hit judgement is essential factor in design for battle-style MMORPG game system and sets foundation for other game systems. Hit judgement model consists of attack power and attack rate. The former contains minimum, maximum, and critical attack, the latter has miss, hit, and critical blow rate. Random function generates one value of attack rate and consequently the damage is calculated.

An important application domain for online services is an interactive, multi-player game. In recent, many increase of users that use on-line services through networks have caused a heavy load to the server. In this paper, we propose a MMORPG(Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game) distributed game server using flayer-Cell. Our method provides efficient solution of a MMORPG distributed game server for large numbers of users. It is shown through the experiments that our method outperforms existing methods in terms of memory utilization rate and processing speed.

컴퓨터 게임 중 MMORPG(Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game)는 다른 장르(Genre)의 게임들과 비교하여 상대적으로 개발 기간이 매우 길고, 게임을 구성하는 콘텐츠(contents)도 매우 방대하다. 그러나, MMORPG 를 처음 접하는 플레이어(Player)는 대부분의 경우, 단지 몇 시간 정도의 게임을 해본 후에 게임을 계속할지를 결정한다. 따라서, 플레이어가 게임을 지속적으로 즐기도록 하기 위해서 MMORPG 의 초기에 어떤 콘텐츠를 어떻게 제공할 것인지에 대한 설계는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 현재 성공적으로 평가되는 MMORPG 들의 초기콘텐츠를 분석하고 이 분석을 기반으로 효과적인 초기콘텐츠 구성에 대해 기술한다. 이러한 연구는 개발되는 MMORPG 에서 초기 콘텐츠를 어떻게 효과적으로 구성할지에 대한 대안을 제시한다.
