Abstract

Networked computer games have come of age in recent years, due to a combination of increased graphical sophistication and simplified networking in consumer level computer equipment.This paper presents an overview of a new network game genre, the virtual environment based multi-user dungeon. It reviews the technical requirements necessary to deliver successful games of this type, and outlines a suggested architecture. Issues addressed in the architecture include scalability, persistence and consistency.
