Abstract: During execution of a game, a user terminal sends, to a first server, a message sending request for sending a message without specifying a recipient. Responsive to receiving the message sending request, the first server selects a user specified as the recipient of the message. The first server sends, to a second server, a message sending request for sending the message while specifying the selected user as the recipient and indicating a game management account as a sender.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of synchronizing an online game, and a server device, that do not require centralized information management, reduce the processing burden on each device during online communication, and allow for continuation of processing in an offline environment. A method, according to the present disclosure, of synchronizing an online game that allows for transmission and reception of information related to game processing between a first client terminal and a second client terminal via a server includes: receiving, from the first client terminal connected online, first information related to game processing on the first client terminal; determining whether the first information is information that determines a game status; and storing the first information on the server and transmitting the first information to the second client terminal when the first information is determined to be information that determines the game status.

Abstract: A first video generator generates first information for displaying, as a first video, a character object of a first user and a first object. A second video generator displays the first object and a third object different from the second object. An association portion associates the character object of the first user with a fourth object associated with the third object when the character object of the first user and the third object have a predetermined relationship. The second video generator displays the fourth object in association with the character object of the first user when the fourth object is associated with the character object of the first user by the association portion.
