Enhancing Scalability in Massively Multiplayer Online Games through Distributed Systems

This paper explores the integration of distributed systems to enhance the performance of massively multiplayer online games (MMOs). With the MMO industry generating $28 billion, the need for increased scalability, accessibility, and fault tolerance is paramount. The existing systems can support a limited number of simultaneous players, but distributed systems can segment the environment across multiple nodes, thereby reducing latency and maintaining a central redundant database. This methodology aims to improve user experience without increasing costs or response times.

  2. Contents • Introduction • Current System • Objectives • Solution • Methodology • Summary

  3. Massively Multiplayer Online Games • $28 Billion Dollar Industry • Interactive Industry at the forefront of many significant innovations in Media • Can support a large number of players but not simultaneously. Generally up to 100,000 max.Some have 450,000+ subscribers.

  4. Current System

  5. Objectives • Increase scalability • Increase accessibility • Increase Fault tolerance • Do all of this without increasing price or latency.

  6. Solution

  7. Methodology • Segment Environment across multiple nodes • Allow access to each node separately • Maintain a Central redundant database • Control reads & writes

  8. Inside the Distributed System

  9. Summary • MMOs need increased scalability and flexibility to cater to a larger quantity of simultaneous users • Distribute process load across multiple machines • Add multiple access points to reduce client latency
