System and method for transmitting P2P message in multi-access online game

摘要

A system and method for transmitting a P2P message in a multi-access online game is disclosed. The system includes a game server for receiving game messages from a first user client, processing the received game messages, and transmitting game messages, needed to be transmitted to a second user client, to the second user client; and a database (DB) server for receiving status change information, and storing the received status change information in a database, wherein the game server, upon receiving a request of the second user client, having received a game message from the first user client as a P2P message, blocks the game message from being transmitted to the second user client. Therefore, some parts of transmission messages of the game server are transmitted or received as the P2P messages by the user clients, resulting in reduction of load at the game server.
