Unit 1 Exercise 1: Local Exchange
Online gaming requires a network relay comprised of two components: on the company’s side, various computers take the roles of servers, and other computers (on the player’s side) work as clients. Clients are connected to the servers through the internet and thus a connection is maintained.
When playing an MMORPG such as FFXI, FFXIV, or Aion, (or even any other online games which allow online interactions with other players) servers owned by companies essentially facilitate every action performed by each player. Any action, be it movement, shooting, using an ability or even emoting is checked and reported back as a “state of the world” message.
