Abstract

Computer simulations based on technical imagination break down invisible walls placed between the virtual and reality and causes users to face situations mixed with reality and the virtual. The development of technology embraces evolves human identity. This can serve as an opportunity that increases the value and utilization levels of games and this can be seen as an opportunity to discuss the evolution of games. In this study focused on MMORPG, discussions are made of the diverse values of online games along with the evolution of human identity that is achieved within them.

기술적 상상력에 기반을 둔 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 기술의 발전은 가상과 현실 사이에 놓여 있던 보이지 않는 벽을 무너뜨리고, 이용자가 현실과 가상의 혼재적 상황에 직면하게 만든다. 이러한 기술의 발전은 곧 인간 정체성을 진화시킨다. 게임은, 디지털 총체 예술의 대표적인 형태로 점차 그 영역을 확대해, 나아가 그 역시 현실의 일부로 여겨지는 혼합적 형태로 진화하고 있다. 이것은 곧 게임의 가치를 승격시킬 수 있는 발판이 될 수 있으며, 게임의 진화를 논할 수 있는 계기로 볼 수 있다. MMORPG를 중점으로 한 본 연구에서, 온라인 게임의 다양한 가치와 그 안에서 이루어지는 인간 정체성의 진화에 대하여 논할 것이다.
