The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of using online mobile games on self-efficacy, sociality, and social trust. This paper focuses on the SNS factor (community management and communication function) that is being introduced to the game in accordance with the emergence of the mobile platform. Based on this logic, It sets hypotheses, that the game play has the effects of self-efficacy, sociality. The results are as follows. We conducted online surveys of 1,500 samples with nationwide representatives commissioned by a professional opinion survey agency. As a result, it was found that online game play not only enhances users' self-efficacy, but also directly or indirectly affects the improvement of sociality and social trust.

본 연구는 2021 게임업계 연쇄 파동을 통해 게임사 이슈 대응에 대한 사용자들의 인식이 바뀐 것에 주목하여 메이플스토리 확률 조작 사건에서 나타난 사용자들의 반응을 토픽모델링으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 사건의 발단이 된 메이플스토리 테스트 월드 업데이트 내용이 업로드된 2021년 2월 18일 17시를 기점으로 국내 온라인 게임 커뮤니티 중 하나인 인벤의 자유게시판에서 총 10만 개의 게시물을 수집하고 토픽모델링 분석을 실시하였다. 이후 도출된 주제별 주요 단어를 10개씩 확인하여 주제를 정의했다. 각 토픽을 비교하며 관련성을 확인했고 이를 통해 사용자들의 반응을 분석한 결과 확률 조작으로 인한 보상으로 환불을 원하고 있다는 것과 아이템의 확률을 조작했다는 것에 대한 사용자들의 분노, 디렉터 본인의 직접적인 사과문과 사용자와의 소통 요구, 또 다른 게임으로의 이탈을 확인할 수 있었다.

On-line avatar community service requires natural representation of communication, emotional expression, and popular dances and various kinds of services. The space should be dynamic, and the interaction between the motions of avatars and the space is required. The avatars with their national, interesting, and various motions should be implemented togetherwith interaction with virtual spaces, in order to have competition in developing 3D avatars. It is expected for 3D avatars to be broadly applied for 3D shopping malls for e-commerce, cyber model houses, 3 D simulations, and 3D virtual reality game. Therefore, for one line 3D avatar community services, we try to provide the scheme for making interactive virtual spaces, together with 3D avatar animations.

Traditional market for arcade game is downsized due to limited offline services. This paper suggests O2O service which is a combination of NFC technology and traditional arcade game. O2O service available by installing NFC tag in the gaming machines and operating by smartphone. This allows convenient payment service along with continuity of gameplay. Furthermore applying ranking, statistics and replays will vitalize communities such as fan clubs and highlight local rankers into popular gaming stars. Offline gallery can be expanded to online via O2O service. Local stars and online gallery will lead arcade gaming platform to E sports. This paper covers servers and applications regarding O2O service in addition to their functions and expected outcome.

Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are played by millions of people around the world. Within MMORPGs, players explore, solve mysteries, craft items, battle against dungeon or raid bosses, or compete against other players, all while using a variety of information and information behaviors. Role-players in MMORPGs develop identities and engage in interactive storytelling with other role-players as their characters. An ethnographic approach combining overt participant observation and engagement, semi-structured interviews, and artifact collection was used to explore and describe the social information behaviors of role-players through the lens of the theory of information worlds. The social types evident in the role-playing community in WildStar, a science fantasy-themed MMORPG, are closely interrelated to and differentiated by social norms and information values that dictate acceptable characters, stories, character actions, and appropriate lore sources as well as how to role-play without violating the boundary between in- and out-of-character information worlds. Role-players maintained the in-character and out-of-character boundary using a set of specific information behaviors to enable engaging and immersive role-playing experiences. Implications of the findings for the theory of information worlds as well as potential applications of role-playing and MMORPGs are also discussed.

Various digital literacy and critical competencies are crucial for success in the information and media-rich 21st century game of life. This study explores and describes the digital literacy practices of role-players in WildStar, a science fantasy Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). Active role-players create and participate in group-driven interactive stories while in-character. A hybrid ethnographic method integrating overt participant observation and engagement, collection of community artifacts across multiple sites (such as wikis, discussion boards, and social media), and semi-structured interviews was employed to understand how role-players seek, use, evaluate, and manage information, media, and technology. Role-players used various media and technologies to supplement, simplify, and make role-playing more immersive. The relative digital literacy skill levels of individuals varied, leading role-players to leverage the skills of more proficient or experienced community members. Given the broad appeal of online games and educational benefits of role-playing, implications and applications for digital literacy skills instruction and library programming are also discussed.

Differing from most of current studies which recognizing game item cash-trade as simple static system, this study approaches game item cash-trade as Complex Adaptive System through historical analysis. The item-trade is a complex phenomenon converging between cyber-economy and real-economy, and production and consumption process of game-item are evolving dynamically over time. The results are following: first, the early item-trade emerges in endogenously rather than results from purposed system designed by singular actor. Second, after the early item-trade, the trade system as a CAS which various voluntary actors(single user, factory, game company, user community, agency, etc.) participates in is self-organizing for trading safety and efficiency. Third, the complex adaptive item-trade system satisfies actor's needs interdependently and accelerate positive feedback powerfully. This study implies that purposeful control disregarding emergent adaptive item-trade system distorts system efficiency and can lead to unintended policy failure.

This paper proposes and tests a theoretical model of the relational link between a novel form of customer-perceived fairness for a reward design (distributive peer justice climate) and C2C helping intention via community identification and online C2C interaction (friend-, neighboring customer-, audience-interaction) qualities in a collective consumption context (MMORPG). To test hypotheses, we amassed survey data within a collective consumption context (massively multiplayer online role-playing games, MMORPGs). We used structural equation modeling in analyzing the survey data. The results reveal that user-perceived distributive peer justice climate for a reward design enhances their C2C helping intention via community identification and C2C interactions in MMORPG contexts. Collective consumption-type service managers should focus on promoting the user-perceived distributive peer justice climate for their reward system to enhance users' present C2C co-creation experience (community identification, C2C interaction) and future C2C co-creation behavior (helping intention). By adopting an intra-unit level distributive justice concept (customer-perceived distributive peer justice climate) to a reward design in a collective consumption context (MMORPGs), this study informed collective consumption-type service managers of the importance of its management.
