Server device, control method for server device, game system, and computer-readable recording medium
A server device and the like that can make a whole game and SNS more active by promoting the movement of players between groups to enhance the mobility of game participants. A server device comprises: a controller configured to enable a first player belonging to a first group to transfer to a second group based on an operation by a second player belonging to the second group, wherein the controller is configured to associate compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player. The controller is configured to perform payment and receipt of compensation for the transfer between at least two out of the first player, the first group, and the second group when the first player transfers from the first group to the second group.
1. A server device comprising:
a controller configured to
enable a first player belonging to a first group to transfer to a second group; and
associate compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
2. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to, for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, perform payment and receipt of the compensation for the transfer between at least two out of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
3. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to, for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, provide a reward to at least one of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
4. The server device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
transmit an invitation to transfer to the second group to a terminal device of the first player; and
receive a transfer announcement to transfer to the second group from the terminal device of the first player,
wherein, in response to receiving the transfer announcement, the controller associates the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
5. A control method for a server device comprising:
a controller configured to
enable a first player belonging to a first group to transfer to a second group; and
associate compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
6. The control method for a server device according to claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to, for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, perform payment and receipt of compensation for the transfer between at least two out of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
7. The control method for the server device according to claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to, for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, provide a reward to at least one of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
8. The control method for the server device according to claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to:
transmit an invitation to transfer to the second group to a terminal device of the first player; and
receive a transfer announcement to transfer to the second group from the terminal device of the first player, wherein
in response to receiving the transfer announcement, the controller associates the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded therein a program code, which when executed by the computer, while a game is in progress in which a first player using the computer and associated with a first group, and a second player associated with a second group different from the first group, are able to participate, causes the computer to:
enable a first player belonging to a first group to transfer to a second group; and
associate compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , having recorded therein a program code, which when executed by the computer further causes the computer to:
for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, perform payment and receipt of the compensation for the transfer between at least two out of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , having recorded therein a program code, which when executed by the computer further causes the computer to:
for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, provide a reward to at least one of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 9 , having recorded therein a program code, which when executed by the computer further causes the computer to:
transmit, to a terminal device of the first player, an invitation to transfer to the second group;
receive, from the terminal device of the first player, a transfer announcement to transfer to the second group; and
in response to receiving the transfer announcement from the terminal device of the first player, associate the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
13. A control method for a terminal device comprising:
a controller configured to
enable a first player belonging to a first group to transfer to a second group; and
associate compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
14. The control method for the terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to, for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, perform payment and receipt of the compensation for the transfer between at least two out of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
15. The control method for the terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to, for associating the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player, provide a reward to at least one of the first player, the first group, and the second group.
16. The control method for the terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to:
transmit an invitation to transfer to the second group to a terminal device of the first player; and
receive a transfer announcement to transfer to the second group from the terminal device of the first player, wherein
in response to receiving the transfer announcement, the controller associates the compensation for the transfer with the transfer of the first player.
