The graphs of gaming and recruitment
Modelling a large scale social game with Neo4j
Learn how Gamesys did it by leveraging graph database Neo4j to model the in-game economy of our MMORPG “Here Be Monsters” and automate the balancing process.
We'll discuss lessons learned, successes and challenges, and how a graph database enables our small team of game designers to stay agile and focused on delivering new content to players.

He’ll cover some of the modelling pitfalls, how to deal with time, multi tenancy and sentiment. He’ll also talk through hosting and extending neo4J through managed server extensions.
Finally Matt will briefly touch on some more advanced topics like centrality, transitivity and how someone you have never met can make you fat.
