Note: Internet switcher and standby server can be shared by 2 server groups in a same IDC servers’room.

Illustration for such setup is as below:

1.3 Game Logic
In Fig 2, DataBase is used to store data of game world, such as roles in the game; LinkServer is responsible for the communication of players (this is the only one server to be contacted directly by players); Delivery is used to communicate with central server (mainly for account and charge information); GameServer is for logic calculation; BackupServer is to save Logs of all GameServers and backup DataBase; Management is to control startup and management operation of all servers.

3. Background System Manual
3.1 Servers Supervision

Status supervision of server process:

It is used to make sure server process is normal in each group (Presently there are totally seven types of server process for each group).

Ports supervision:

Regularly scan ports in every server. The system will report the problem immediately in any abnormal condition.

Usage of supervising software of Cricket:

Supervise the following:

1) Hardware condition of each server: Using rate of CPU, RAM and hard disk capacity etc.

2) Server’s connection status with internet: TCP link number, current online players number, Average Package-Lost Rate, Average Ping Value and volume of network card.

Supervision of STG Flowing Rate:

It is used to reflect TCP connection number of players in each server groups.

5、Website supervision

1) calculate the number of accessing to the website

2) monitor performance of official web server and AU server

Monitor hardware in Official web server: CPU, RAM and hard disk capacity etc.

Monitor internet status of server: Average package-lost rate, average ping and volume of network card etc.

6、Monetary Statistic

1) monetary level growth

2) total resource of money

3) increment of money

4) trading volume of money resource

7、Game Log Analysis

1)calculate Players’ number

2)calculate Players’ online time and location

3)calculate Players’ level

3.2 Server Maintenance
What to do if server doesn’t work

How to find the server doesn’t work

What to do to deal with such trouble

Routine work after release of new edition Game

Shut down each group of servers friendly

Inspect operating status of the server

Open “Automatic Update” if update exists in terminal

Click Re-release to restart game after update is finished

After the game starts up normally, you may set as the followings

ⅰ. Set up parameters of each group servers.

ⅱ. Whether players can gain double experience when they kill monsters in the game

ⅲ. Whether players can bargain with each other in the game.

ⅳ. Whether players can auction things.

5. Game Design Modification
Vending props & Using Game Card

Pattern of freely vending props

Props are mainly consumable, luxury and things that can enhance power.

The elementary props that can be vended are : costume, aerocraft, ground vehicles, fireworks, role enhancers and special things. This pattern does not conflict with the one using a monthly card.

Mode modification about gaining experience, energy, props and money

BVgame may bring forward its demand. The aim of modification for each demand should be narrated and we can negotiate with each other according to the fact. All edition will be on time if agreement about modification is come to before July 15th otherwise it will be postponed.

Measures to Anti-Enthrallment Law of Vietnam.

Anti-Enthrallment Law of Vietnam requests: such technology as time management system on server must be installed, which only allows every account to get 100% rewards in the first 180 minutes, 50% rewards from 181 to 300 minutes and nothing rewards above 301 minutes. (rewards can be experience, money in the game or other objects etc.)

There will be too much work to do if we modify the edition restrictively according to the demand of this law because all Instances will be nearly modified. The Vietnam version will be finished two months later than that of the simplified Chinese version.

6. Activity Requirement
6.1 Manually Operated Activities
Stochastic Pattern of Monster

Players get rewards when they kill monsters existing stochastically in the game, which is usually met when a boss is killed. Such activity is supported by the computer program and finished by GM manually operated program.

Take The atmosphere of the spring is showing through the flying of birds and jumping of dogs, perfect celebration is going through in great China as an example. when a monster named Nian produced by computer appears at a given time and given place in the game, Nian’s actions are mostly changeless. But more actions of the monster’s are manually controlled through GM program. For example, in the following two games: Make Best Wish in New Year and Yuanling Army’s Surprise Attack, GM program has set up the monsters well beforehand and it can run such program repeatedly. GM can adjust the frequency and quantities of monsters according to the players’ level in different servers.

Co-participation between GM and Players

The program will go on some co-participating games between GM and players at the end of inner test using the inner setup with the purpose to contact players closer, make them easy and also advertise for merchant.

For example, a competition called PK Carnival Night at the end of inner test will go between GM and players. Here deleting roles will not affect game players since the inner test has finished. Therefore it can improve players’ enthusiasm to take part in.

The game offers new occupations and invites players to know directly. For instance, in Monsters Show, GM makes use of skill display and special display of function and belongings of senior monsters’ occupations to attract direct feeling of players and then to advertise their new occupations.

Propagandas like Shu Mu Nian Hua as prolocutor of Perfect World or Perfect Girls Show are to put real persons online to enhance online atmosphere and advertise products.

Player’s Exploration Game

Such game is to attract players’ interest through GM’s particularity and rewards. For example in the Mysterious Merchant, GM appears at a given place, gives riddles to players and guides them to find where GM is according to the answer of riddle. Finally GM puts a premium on those who meet the demands of what GM needs.

Auction Game

GM auctions its superior goods in the game with very low beginning price, which will attract players’interest, especially those who desire much but with limited economic situation.

For example, in the Wedding Dress Auction, the wedding dress is costly article which appeals female players very much. ¥1 beginning price will attract players to bid. Many female players keen compete for the wedding dress

6.2 Background Supported Activities
Knowledge Contests and Guessing Game

Question database is set as missions and placed on specified NPC. Taking specified props, players draw missions from NPC and begin to answer in a stated time. Usually ten questions make up one toll-gate. When a player answers ten questions correctly, he/she can pass the toll-gate and get rewards. When the player passes the final toll-gate, he/she will get very generous rewards. If the player is unable to answer the questions correctly, he/she will fail. The player has to begin the whole process from beginning.

Activity Examples:

Guessing Game in Lantern Festival

(it doesn’t need any prop, players can take part freely but only have one chance.)

Weekly Alpha Test (players need to use the “Wisdom Card” to attend this activity)

World Cup Questions during World cup

(players need to use the “Hercules’ Ticket” to attend this activity)

Horse Racing

A map of Serpent Island is set as race track. Players are sent to race track by NPC, draw mission of horse racing and begin racing according to direction of map. Players will meet various crystal or goblins good or evil. Finishing the specified laps, players can get a rank and win prizes depending on the proficiency of the race. At the end of month, the players can compete their horses on the big map and the first one crossing the finish line can receive a reward.

Activity Example:

Serpent Island Horse Racing (three bouts every day)

Arena Battle for the Treasure

Arena is set as a treasure case which can give various articles at a given time. Players may be rewarded when they open the case in arena and also may meet monsters. Killing monsters will bring them a chance to be rewarded. Players in arena are in a free state and being killed will not affect their record.

Activity Example:

Weekly Arena
Articles dropping

Starting the game, players can kill the monsters and pick up the articles that the monsters drop. Some of the articles can be used directly and players can take the articles to a specific NPC for rewards.
