As to the rapid development of mobile technology, the era of 1-person 1-smart phone has come. Also, the application of smart phone became the part of our life. Especially mobile RPG(Role Playing Game) has the biggest market and the largest number of users. There could be no precise quality assessment result, if quality evaluation model of PC RPG game were applied to the mobile RPG. Thus, it is time to focus on new quality evaluation model for mobile RPG with the great reflection of smart phone attributes. In this paper, based on ISO/IEC 9126, the international standard of software quality, quality evaluation elements for mobile RPG were deducted. Then metrics for validation of elements were redefined and new quality evaluation model was proposed.

Due to the improving mobile environments, we can play RPG in not only computer online field but also mobile field. It is difference from hardware environment between them so that mobile RPG has been changed and modified to play in mobile environment except RPG's frame and basic element. This Study has investigated the model to evaluate the balance of battle that is based on the RPG. Although there is an assessment model studied with a focus on the MMORPG, It is difficult to apply to the entire balance in RPG especially mobile RPG. Former model has used only basic element because there were so many kinds of variables such as user's controls, other players and objects in game. The reason why that model just gave a guide line about battle balance. In this paper, the new assessment model to include the balance factors such as BUFF, NURF and PASSIVE could be possible for applying the balance of mobile RPG on recent trends. As a result, the new model can measure numerical calculations compared to the previous model.

Growing smartphone usage in South Korea has also accelerated the pace of development of mobile games, but competition is intensifying as the market grows. As one of the factors for the success of the game in this mobile game market, UI has been presented, suggesting that the design of such mobile game UI should be approached in terms of designing the user's experience, along with its function, aesthetic expression, function-oriented design and information delivery before. In this paper, we propose an effective lobby layout of mobile RPG using experience among UX factors. Through the layout classification of Ernest Adams and Andrew Rollings, we selected 9 mobile RPGs in the 20th place of google play cumulative sales rankings and analyzed the layout of the lobby. As a result, the lobby layout of the game, which led the first market success of the mobile RPG genre, The result was that it became the standard of the boxed game. It can be interpreted that the lobby layout, which is similar to the game used previously by the user, is effective because low entry barriers and learning are unnecessary due to the experience of using the existing RPG. Future studies may produce a common layout of a broad genre if studies are conducted to measure the optimum UX for other genres than RPG.

This paper is designed to propose the contents necessary for updating and developing future mobile RPG game developers through a usability evaluation of Users using In-App Payment Services at Lineage M. This paper conducted a usability assessment for quantitative assessment of users who use in-app payment services for mobile game 'Lineage M'. The tool for usability assessment was surveyed in a questionnaire designed based on 'The User Experience Honeycomb' defined by Peter Morville. These statistical results were then divided into lateral analyses. Through this, it is expected that game developers and planners will be able to find data to help develop new mobile RPG games.

Character customization means a series of processes to build a characters. Mobile character customizing system is very scarce than Online RPG system qualitatively or quantitatively. In this paper, I will propose some effective elements about A DIY character system that must be suitable for the mobile environment system. The reasons why Select System is mainly used as the customizing system in RPG are as follows; First, the screen of a mobile device is small; Second, it is due to the space-time characteristics with which mobile games are played. In the middle of playing a game, a customizing system should be adopted in order for players not to feel bored. In addition, avatar's costumes should be continually updated.

A sense of oneness between a player and an avatar is more emphasized than role-playing itself in Korean RPG playing. Because of this tendency, the main contents of smart phone-based mobile RPG are mainly focus on combat. As PvP occurs more frequently in mobile RPG, playing experiences are diversified from sensitive control to simple repetition. Also, the auto-combat function offered in game system ingenerates funs from testing a mental model that a player statistically sets before playing. This paper analyzes the process of generating fun in mobile RPG based on Ralph Koster's Game Grammar theory. is selected as subject of this analysis. The pattern of mobile RPG playing is dichotomized : automation of producing materials and concentration on raid and PvP contents.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how auto-combat function in mobile RPG satisfies player's desires. The auto-combat is classified into two types-complete and partial- by timing of activation and degree of control. With elicited aspects of play, players' desires are examined based on Lacan's Desire Theory. A player employing partial auto-combat desires to master higher stages with perfect or flawless control, and one's 'object petit a' is to be the difficulty of the stages. On the other hand, a player applying the complete auto-combat demands to fully comprehend the rules of the game and to attain the rewards of completed stage to build more competent characters. Once a player acquires the desirable object, one recognizes the illusion of one's achievement and seeks for new objects. In this succession, auto-combat function is utilized as an active action of willingness for fulfilling one's desire.
