GOGS: USC GamePipe Online Game Server

Massively multiplayer online games (MMO) are at the height of interest and growing in popularity in the commercial video game market. New development studios are vying for the position of top MMO, both in the number of users and market value. Recently, interest in online games has entered the realm of educational practitioners and researchers. It was as researchers, as well as game developers and designers in mind, that the USC GamePipe Laboratory has developed its initial version of the academic, open source USC GamePipe Online Game Server (USC GOGS).
