Abstract. Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are very sophisticated applications, which have significantly grown in popularity since their early days in the mid-90s. Along with growing numbers of users the require-ments on these systems have reached a point where technical problems become a severe risk for the commercial success. Within the CloudCraft project we investi-gate how Cloud-based architectures and data management can help to solve some of the most critical problems regarding scalability and consistency. In this article, we describe an implemented working environment based on the Cassandra DBMS and some of the key findings outlining its advantages and shortcomings for the given application scenario.

Abstract. Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games represent very complex applications, and their growing popularity makes them an important commercial factor in the entertainment area. However, the need to fulfil very highlevel technical and user requirements makes the development a risky task. We address these issues from a data management perspective with services to support the management of a persistent game world along with other data sets. The main focus of this contribution is to investigate how scalability and a sufficient level of consistency can be achieved by using and extending Cloud-based technology.
