Abstract

This paper is designed to propose the contents necessary for updating and developing future mobile RPG game developers through a usability evaluation of Users using In-App Payment Services at Lineage M. This paper conducted a usability assessment for quantitative assessment of users who use in-app payment services for mobile game 'Lineage M'. The tool for usability assessment was surveyed in a questionnaire designed based on 'The User Experience Honeycomb' defined by Peter Morville. These statistical results were then divided into lateral analyses. Through this, it is expected that game developers and planners will be able to find data to help develop new mobile RPG games.

본 논문은 모바일 RPG게임 내 인앱 결제 서비스 이용자들에 대한 사용성 평가를 통해 향후 국내 모바일 RPG게임 개발자 및 기획자들에게 업데이트 및 개발에 필요한 자료를 모색하고 제안하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 모바일 게임 '리니지M'의 인 앱 결제 서비스를 주로 이용하는 이용자들을 대상으로 정량적 평가를 위한 사용성 평가를 실시했다. 사용성 평가를 위한 도구로는 피터모빌(Peter Morville)이 정의한 'The User Experience Honeycomb'를 기준으로 설계한 설문지를 통해 설문조사를 하였다. 이러한 통계결과를 접근성, 가치성, 신뢰성, 매력성, 사용성 총 5가지 측면으로 나누어 분석하였고, 이를 통하여 새로운 모바일 RPG게임 개발에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.
