Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Technologies are generally described for server resource allocation for distributed games. In one example, a method includes allocating a first set of resources for a first player instance on a first server, a second set of resources for a second player instance on the first server, and a third set of resources for a third player instance on a second server. The method also includes comparing a first relationship strength defined between the first player instance and the second player instance with a second relationship strength defined between the first player instance and the third player instance. Further, the method includes distributing at least one of the first set of resources, the second set of resources, or the third set of resources between the first server and the second server based on a result of the comparing.
