Is the game real-time or turn based? I have both a real-time multiplayer and a turn-based game. My turn- based one uses JSON/REST/RoR and my real-time one is using a custom protocol. Using JSON/REST/RoR works _very_ well. I recommend it because you can just use Phusion Passenger with Apache to deploy your app, which is extremely easy and makes your server very reliable.
