국내 게임시장은 모바일을 기반으로 성정을 지속할 것으로 내다보고 있다. MMORPG 신작 부재로 국내 온라인 게임 시장의 성장은 다소 제한적일 것으로 예상했지만 다양한 신작 출시와 기존 온라인 게임의 모바일 게임 시장 진출로 시장이 활성화 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MMORPG 게임에 대표적인 두개의 길드 시스템을 분석하며 기존 시스템에 대한 보완과 새로운 시스템에 대해 제안하고자 한다. 두 게임에 공통적으로 들어가는 시스템에 대해 문제점과 보완방법을 제안하며 새로운 시스템에 대한 제안을 통해 게임을 즐기는 사용자들의 참여를 유도하고자 한다.

MMORPG users can create their own identity that they will use to act through in the virtual world utilizing the avatar creation system. The MMORPG customization process, divided into the creation and transformation stages, provides a sandbox for the identity play by users. In this study, analysis of the users' customization attitudes using the Q methodology especially in the transformation stage was conducted. The users' attitudes were found to be categorized into 4 types: 1) fulfilling attitude, 2) customization immersed attitude, 3) customization challenging attitude, and 4) community oriented attitude. Of particular interest are the immersed customization type, where the attitude is driven by the internal motivation of "self-satisfaction" unlike the fulfillment and community oriented attitudes which are driven by instrumental motivation of the avatar, and the continuous desire towards transformation revealed by the challenging customization attitude. This study provides valuable insight in the design perspective for developers in instilling critical immersion elements to the users while preparing to update the level.

The primary purposes of this study are to develop a Situated Learning Support System based on an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) and to investigate applications of Situated Learning theory both hypothetically and practically. In Situated Leaning theory, cognition is interpreted as a dynamic system related to situation, context and activity. According to this theory, learning context, social interaction and personal direct experience are also emphasized. A virtual reality learning system based on an MMORPG provides context, social interaction and a learning environment able to provide direct experiences. However, such a system has been difficult for teachers to develop. This study aims to develop a support system facilitating the construction of a Situated Learning System based on an MMORPG. This study proposes new research and practical applications of Situated Learning theory using educational games.
