Reward giving method, computer-readable recording medium, server device, and game system
A server device determines a first item number by specifying a first object correlated with an item number of items defined in a game and determines a change value by specifying a second object correlated with the change value for changing the first item number. The server device changes the first item number to a second item number on the basis of the determined first item number and the determined change value and gives a reward on the basis of the second item number.

change the first number of items to a second number of items based on the change value correlated with the one of the second objects, wherein the second number of items is a number of items that will be obtained by the user;
change a number of items held by the user based on the second number of items; and
control a communication interface to receive an indication that indicates a reward for the user over a communication network, wherein the indicated reward is based on the number of items held by the user.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein
the plurality of first objects correspond to an item acquisition right of the user, and
the reward is based on the number of items held by the user that corresponds to the item acquisition right.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein
the item acquisition right is a first item acquisition right of a plurality of item acquisition rights, and
an item obtained by the user based on the first item acquisition right is different from an item obtained by the user based on a second item acquisition right of the plurality of item acquisition rights.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein
the user is a first user of a plurality of users,
the plurality of users belong to a group of users, and
the reward is based on a sum of the numbers of items held by the plurality of users.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein
the reward is preferentially given to a user in the group of users who corresponds to a player character that is weaker than other player characters in the game.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein
the reward is preferentially given to a user in the group of users who corresponds to a player character having an attribute corresponding to an attribute of the reward in the game.
13. A device providing a game to a user and comprising circuitry configured to:
