Whether they're written down or part of a company's oral traditions, every software engineering team has guidelines its developers use to direct their efforts. These are the ones we use at One More Game.
Anyone who's worked in game development for a while knows that launching games is challenging. Creating online games is even more difficult, as it requires building Internet services like matchmaking, account systems, chat services and many more. Guild Wars, an online Role-Playing Game I helped develop at ArenaNet, requires ~30 backend services, and its sequel, Guild Wars 2, has ~80! By the time I left ArenaNet Guild Wars 1 included 6.5 million lines of code, which is about one-fourth of the number of lines in the Linux operating system kernel!
