利用玩家設計介面去看玩家在遊戲社會中的互動與成長

Abstract

鉅量多人連線遊戲已經成為遊戲市場的主流，而玩家之間動態的互動關係更是許多研究者在探討遊戲文化或遊戲社會重要的參考指標。以往透過問卷調查或者個案討論並不能清楚的分析出不同玩法的玩家間彼此的關係。此外，隨著進入遊戲時間的長短，玩家會成長到不同階段，而不同階段的玩家或者不同類型的玩家間存在著什麼樣的關係總是很難界定。 故本論文提出利用討論、合作、分工三個層面的互動去定義玩家間的互動關係，並且將玩家分成五個成長階段和兩種不同類型的玩家。經由上述的分類，本論文設計一套玩家設計介面—一種遊戲的使用者介面，由遊戲公司提供的應用開發程式讓使用者可以自行開發—用以從遊戲當中直接取得量化的資料，幫助我們可以清楚的觀察到不同類型的玩家間到底有什麼互動關係。本論文最大的貢獻在於提出一種結合前人研究以及具有數據支持的玩家間行為互動模型。

Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) have already become the mainstream of the game market, and the dynamic of interaction between players is that a lot of researchers are probing into the culture of the game or the society's important reference index. Can not analysing to play with mutual relation under the different playing methodding clear through questionnaire investigation or case finding in the past. In addition, with enter the time of game, the player will grow up to different stages, and different stages player or different types player is always very difficult to define for what kinds of relationship. So a thesis proposes utilizing conversation, cooperation, collaboration three aspects defining the relationship between players, and to divide them into five development and two types of different kinds of players. Via the above-mentioned classification, we taking use of API provided by game company, and design a suit of self-designed user interface to collect and analyze the ones that can help us clearly observe what interactive relations in game world. This greatest contribution of thesis lies in what proposes that a kind of combination forefathers study and have data to support plays with the interaction model of the behavior among the players.
