Session Description
The advent of strong online communities has lead to the development of technologies capable of maintaining stability in the face of fluid, unpredictable user populations. The MMO faces difficult challenges in providing infrastructures that can withstand massive populations across PC and console platforms. The talk outlines the inner workings of Cryptic Studios’ distributed server architecture used for City of Heroes and City of Villains, and the new improvements being made for future games like Marvel Universe Online. Architecture, scalability, reliability, operational simplicity, and lessons learned from years of live operation are discussed.
