- Social networks in MMOs can be defined as the social structures and relationships that develop between players through gameplay and interaction tools. They often resemble real-world social networks.
- EVE Online exemplifies how robust social networks form in MMOs. Players organize into corporations and alliances that may include thousands of members and function similarly to companies and nations. Communication tools are essential for coordination.
- As player groups grow larger, game designers must consider how to support emerging leadership roles and social hierarchies to ensure networks remain fun and don't disrupt new player experiences. The lines between MMOs and social media will continue to blur as virtual communities deepen.
Online gaming is one of the most profitable businesses on the Internet. Of all the genres of online games, MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) have become the most popular among network gamers, and now attract millions of users who play in an evolving virtual world simultaneously over the Internet. To gain a better understanding of game traffic and contribute to the economic well-being of the Internet, we analyze a 1, 356-million-packet trace from a sizeable MMORPG called ShenZhou Online. This work is, as far as we know, the first formal analysis of MMORPG server traces.
We find that MMORPG and FPS (First-Person Shooting) games are similar in that they both generate small packets and require low bandwidths. In practice, the bandwidth requirement of MMORPGs is the lower of the two due to less real-time game playing. More distinctive features are the strong periodicity, temporal locality, irregularity, and self-similarity observed in MMORPG traffic. The periodicity is due to a common practice in game implementation, where game state updates are accumulated within a fixed time window before transmission. The temporal locality in game traffic is largely due to the game’s nature, whereby one action leads to another. The irregularity, which is unique to MMORPG traffic, is due to the diversity of the game’s design so that the behavior of users can vary drastically, depending on the quest at hand. The self-similarity of the aggregate traffic is due to the heavy-tailed active/idle activities of individual players. Moreover, we show that the arrival of game sessions within one hour can be modelled by a Poisson model, while the duration of game sessions is heavy-tailed.

Building a World in the Clouds: MMO Architecture on AWS (MBL304) | AWS re:Inv...Amazon Web Services
Can you really build the infrastructure required to bring a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) to life in the cloud? This session discusses the evolution of Red 5 Studios' FireFall—a free-to-play MMO. FireFall runs entirely on the AWS platform and allows players from around the world to play together in the cloud. The session covers some of the design decisions made over the last two years—the things that worked well and not so well. The session also presents some of the solutions Red 5 implemented to ease the transition from dedicated data center hardware to virtual servers in AWS.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
