Résumé :

Cheating in video games has been prevalent ever since the days of Pong. Games have evolved much since then and the ways in which people play together have changed as well. Older systems required people to play together in the same room, but with the advent of the internet, gaming consoles allow us to play games together with people located all over the globe. Cheating has evolved as well, since gamers no longer have the luxury of monitoring the person sitting next to them; anti-cheating mechanisms are built into most online systems and suspicious behavior is monitored by gaming companies.

Résumé :

With the launch of World of Warcraft in 2004, Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) really came into their own as millions of people started playing worldwide. Providing scalability to such a large audience while maintaining a consistent gameplay experience is a diffcult task which many companies face in an industry where only few succeed. This thesis focuses on the issues of how a MMOG can be scaled to support more concurrent players and how consistency can be maintained in a Distributed Multi-Server Environment (DMSE). As a basis for investigation the notion of "Subgames" (i.e. games wi

Résumé :

Les jeux massivement multi-joueurs en ligne (jeux MMOGs) visent à rassembler un nombre infini de joueurs dans le même univers virtuel. Pourtant, tous les MMOG existants reposent sur des architectures client / serveur centralisé qui imposent une limite sur le nombre maximum de joueurs (avatars) et sur les ressources qui peuvent coexister dans un univers virtuel donné. Cette thèse vise à proposer des solutions pour améliorer l'évolutivité de MMOG. Cette thèse explore deux services qui sont essentiels à toutes les variantes de MMOG: jumelage et détection de triche.

Résumé :

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) are a prominent genre in today's video game industry with the most popular MMORPGs generating billions of dollars in revenue and attracting millions of players. As they have grown, they have become a major target for both technological research and sociological research. In such research, it is nearly impossible to reach the same player scale from any self-made technology or sociological experiments. This greatly limits the amount of control and topics that can be explored. In an effort to make up a lacking or non-existent player-base f

Résumé :

Video games have become a new platform for social interaction. I review the sociality of video games and the relationship between virtual- and real-world behaviors. I review and address the pros and cons of methods of measuring social behavior. Finally, I present two studies drawn from internet populations. In Study 1 (N = 250), I develop a scale, The Sociality in Multiplayer Online Games Scale (SMOG), which measures the frequency of social gaming behaviors in team-based, multiplayer online games. I hypothesized these to align on dominance and affiliation dimensions of social interaction (Kies

Over the last decade the ability of the Internet infrastructure to carry traffic has not improved at the same rate as the desktop technology. This imbalance has increased the perceived difference in the quality of service (QoS) offered by online multiplayer games compared to single player games. This thesis introduces MCCA, a communication architecture for online multiplayer games to improve the observed QoS and to lower the development complexity. MCCA takes advantage of online game’s relaxed state consistency and predictable workload. MCCA enables a game to label its traffic as belonging t

Résumé :

Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) can be treated as a database application. Players request actions concurrently to alter the state of objects in the game. Since the world state is the most valuable asset of MMOGs, it is extremely important to ensure its consistency. On the other hand, the defining feature of such games is their capacity to support thousands of clients playing simultaneously, thus requiring scalability. This thesis proposes a solution which leverages typical game semantics and architectures to design scalable transaction models for action handling while maintaining t

Résumé :

One of the key issues with online multiplayer games is game play fairness. In both centralized and decentralized architectures the ordering of command messages from clients for execution is an important issue that impacts fairness and response time of game play. Recently, a fair-ordered message exchange protocol (FMEP), based on "reaction" times was proposed to order command messages for a client-server model. This thesis presents a cheat controlled protocol (CCP) that can be used to control cheating in the FMEP. We examined the performance of the CCP by emulating wide-area game play sc

Résumé :

In recent years, there has been an important growth of online gaming. Today’s Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) can contain millions of synchronous players scattered across the world and participating with each other within a single shared game. Traditional Client/Server architectures of MMOGs exhibit different problems in scalability, reliability, and latency, as well as the cost of adding new servers when demand is too high. P2P architecture provides considerable support for scalability of MMOGs. It also achieves good response times by supporting direct connections between players.

Résumé :

Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) present fantastic, persistent worlds and narratives for a community of players to experience through pre-defined rules, roles, and environments. To be able to offer the opportunity for every player to try the same experiences, many game developers have opted to create elaborate virtual theme parks: scripted experiences within static worlds that cannot be affected or changed through player actions. Within these games, some players have turned to role-playing to establish meaningful connections to these worlds by expanding upon and subverting the game

Résumé :

There has been a tremendous growth in the popularity of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (or MMOGs) with millions of players interacting in their virtual game space at the same time. However, the centralized server architecture of most modern day MMOGs is unable to cope with this increase in the number of participating players. Hence, there is a need for a scalable network architecture which can support these large number of players without affecting the overall gaming experience for each player. In this thesis we propose a scalable distributed server architecture which divides the virtual g

This thesis examined the presentation of self in Massively Multiplayer Online games, to investigate how players create and maintain versions of self in these environments. Key research questions concerned the motivation for engaging in these behaviours, the impact of such activities on their offline lives and for those that did not engage in the active presentation of self, why they did not do this.

Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) are a popular type of online video game. While these games and their players have been studied previously, there is gap in the literature that examines the relationship between one’s motivation to play MMOGs and loneliness, depression, and problematic use. For this study, 440 players of World of Warcraft (WoW), a popular MMOG, completed a demographics questionnaire and four measures, including Williams, Yee, & Caplan’s (2008) motivation measure, Peter’s & Malesky’s (2008) World of Warcraft-specific Problematic Usage-Engagement Questionnaire, UCLA’s

With the increased connectivity of gaming in general, and certain game genres in particular, gamers’ language use has become an integral aspect of the game experience. As a result, gamers have become innovative, creating and re-appropriating language, often using non-standard forms to coordinate their gameplay. This innovative and non-

vii, 124 p.<br>Despite the rise in participation and economic importance of online games as a media phenomenon, ever-growing virtual worlds that seemingly exist as "third places" for social interaction and relationship formation, there is little research on the experiences of gamers with harassment, discrimination, and hate speech. Though changes in the industry serve as evidence of shifting attitudes about female, GLBTQ, and non-white gamers, harassment and use of hate speech based on sex and sexual orientation continue to flourish unchecked in online games. This study explores the prevalence

Résumé :

Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) are increasing in both popularity and scale on the Internet and are predominantly implemented by Client/Server architectures. While such a classical approach to distributed system design offers many benefits, it suffers from significant technical and commercial drawbacks, primarily reliability and scalability costs. This realisation has sparked recent research interest in adapting MMOGs to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architectures. This thesis identifies six key design issues to be addressed by P2P MMOGs, namely interest management, event dissemination, task s

Résumé :

Earlier research has suggested that online gaming can be an effective way of acquiring English as a second or foreign language. It can both increase language proficiency (vocabulary or oral proficiency) and have a positive impact on affective filters such as motivation or willingness to communicate. The present study further investigates if habitual playing of massively multiplayer online (MMO) games results in achieving higher grades in English as a foreign language (EFL) for the Swedish upper secondary students. Possible gender differences regarding the acquisition of English and grades in t

Résumé :

Context. In multiplayer games, player information takes time to reach other players because of network latency. This can cause inconsistencies because the actions from the other players are delayed. To increase consistency, movement prediction can be used to display other players closer to their actual position. Objectives. The goal was to compare different prediction methods and see how well they do in a 2D racing game. Methods. A testing framework was made to easily implement new methods and to get test results. Experiments were conducted to gather racing data from participants and was then

Résumé :

Traditional 2-D contour models, Physical Models, Computer-Aided Architectural Design (CAD), Virtual Reality models, Google SketchUp, and Building Information Modelling (BIM) have all greatly enhanced the design process by enabling designers to visualise buildings and the space within them prior to their construction. A recent development is Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) such as Second Life (SL). These offer users the opportunity to interact with other participants in real time, and so offer an excellent opportunity to experience the environment, layout and form of virtual buildings

Résumé :

<p> Given society's increasingly technology centric play and workplace environment, Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOs) can be an excellent sandbox to develop future leaders of teams, which are the lifeblood of any organization. MMOs like World of WarCraft provide rich immersive experiences that allow leaders and followers the ability to create highly complex ecosystems that can mimic some of the largest out of game organizations. In game they can potentially gain valuable insights, which can later be applied to the workplace. This study explores Leadership characteristics appearing in a
