Abstract
Distributed game commands in massive multiplayer online games. A game engine receives commands and determines the order of their execution based on a global order policy using sequencers. The sequencers dispatch the commands to appropriate game engine instances on shards hosting game states. Engine instances execute the commands according to the global order established by the sequencers.
