Abstract: The present invention relates to a packet based artificial intelligence game NPC server, method for providing an artificial intelligence NPC, and game system thereof which are applied to various on-line games on the basis of packet information without source code correction, using data obtained in each game server, and provides: storing game information specialized for each game server; receiving game packet data from the game server; interpreting the game packet data to convert the interpreted game packet data into metadata; storing a protocol header and parameter information of the metadata; receiving the protocol header and parameter information to generate data and action of an NPC according to a command (protocol header) of the metadata; and delivering the generated data and action of an NPC to the game server.

Abstract: Provided is a server-test integrated apparatus for online game, which performs a load test with an online game server. The server-test integrated apparatus includes a server module, a server load tester, a packet designer tool, and a metafile processor. The server module provides online service to a client over a network. The packet designer tool defines a packet protocol, and generates a header file for exchanging data between the server module and client, and at least one packet definition file for exchanging data between the server module and server load tester. The metafile processor stores the packet definition file generated by the packet designer tool. The server load tester writes a scenario with the packet definition file to test a load of the server module.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for analyzing a characteristic of a game player in real time. The apparatus includes at least one individual action determiner for calculating a player characteristic value indicating a level or tendency of a game player by giving a first weight to game play data values resulting from game play of the game player, an accuracy determiner for comparing the player characteristic value and a value set by an administrator, and calculating an accuracy value of the individual action determiner, a comprehensive level determiner for calculating a final characteristic value indicating a level or tendency of the game player by giving a second weight to the player characteristic values calculated by the individual action determiners when the accuracy value do not exceed a reference value, and a characteristic value output unit for outputting the final characteristic value.
