摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system server and programs which enable the members of a specific group to chat freely and closely to each other, in relation to the game, on their private subjects or on specific subjects common only among the members of that group.

SOLUTION: A client terminal of a player A transmits a message to a zoneαserver (Step C71). The zoneαserver transmits a message to a client terminal of a player B who belongs to the same group (Step Z71). In addition, the zoneαserver transmits a message to a world server (Step Z72). The world server transmits the message from the player A to a zoneβserver (Step W71). The zoneβserver which has received this message, then transmits the message from the player A to client terminals of player C and player D both of whom belong to the same group of the player A of the same zone (step Z73).
