  1. A dynamic multi-server architecture for massively multiplayer games Universe, By Morten Zohnesen & Per Lohmann Poulsen

  2. About us • Morten Zohnesen • Media Technology and Games – Technology (MTG-T) • IT Engineer from DTU (Technical University of Denmark) • Per Lohmann Poulsen • Media Technology and Games – Technology (MTG-T) • IT Engineer from IHK (Engineering College of Copenhagen)

  3. MMO growth

  4. The prototype • Multi-Server game architecture • Designed for massively multiplayer online games • Supports large scale concurrent battles • Supports huge game worlds • Seamless player movement between servers

  5. MMO’s today • Sharding • Up to 10,000 simultanious players • Loading screens • Moving from one area/zone/server to another • Static server structure • Lacking robustness towards player flocking • Game design considerations

  6. Proposed solution • Dynamic world partitioning • Very high number of concurrent players • Support for player flocking • Seamless movement in game world • No loading screens • Full visibility • Hide multi-server structure from player • No need for sharding

  7. Six months later... Three main components • Master server • Central authentication • Database access • Load balancing • Server • Handles players • Dynamic zone sizes • Test client • Multi-Client test tool

  8. Results

  9. System demonstration
