(Whole system configuration)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The game system includes an information processing device and a plurality of communication terminals 2. In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus is a game server 1. Further, in FIG. 1, only one communication terminal 2 is shown for simplicity.

  The game server 1 distributes the game to the communication terminal 2. In this game, the player characters of the user of the communication terminal 2 can form a group (team). In the present embodiment, the game distributed by the game server 1 is a battle game, and a group (team) configured in the game is called a guild. In the present embodiment, the user of the communication terminal 2 determines the action of the player character and performs a battle with an opponent (for example, an enemy character). The battle is performed when a predetermined battle event occurs during the game, for example, when the player character encounters an enemy character. In this embodiment, the battle is performed between a guild to which an ally player character belongs and a guild to which an enemy character belongs (GVG: Guild versus Guild). However, the number of members of the guild is not limited to one. It may be a person. In addition, the guild may be formed by one user calling another user for formation, or may be formed by automatically assigning a user to a guild. Note that the type of game distributed by the game server 1 is not limited to a battle game.

  The game server 1 includes a server communication unit 10, a storage unit 11, a server control unit 15, a first management unit 31, a second management unit 32, and a third management unit 33.

  The server communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2. In the present embodiment, the server communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2 wirelessly, but may communicate by wire. Further, the server communication unit 10 may be able to use or select both wireless communication and wired communication.

  The storage unit 11 stores user data 110, shared character data 111, guild data 112, and contribution data 113 (hereinafter collectively referred to as management data). In the present embodiment, each data is stored in the storage unit 11 in a table format, which will be described later in detail.

  The server control unit 15 controls various operations of the game server 1 and the progress of the entire game. The server control unit 15 determines an opponent with whom the user battles, and transmits instructions to display various game screens to the communication terminal 2 via the server communication unit 10. In addition, the server control unit 15 controls the first management unit 31, the second management unit 32, and the third management unit 33 to appropriately advance the game, so that the user data 110 and the shared character data 111 are controlled. Management of the guild data 112 and the contribution data 113 (for example, updating of values, etc.) is executed.

  The communication terminal 2 includes a terminal communication unit 20, a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, and a terminal control unit 24.

  The terminal communication unit 20 communicates with the game server 1. In the present embodiment, the terminal communication unit 20 communicates with the game server 1 wirelessly, but may communicate by wire. Further, the terminal communication unit 20 may be able to use or select both wireless communication and wired communication.

  The display unit 21 displays a game screen according to the progress of the game provided from the game server 1. For example, the display unit 21 may display a battle screen in which the members of the ally and the enemy guild and the status of each member are displayed. Further, for example, the display unit 21 may display a screen in which members of the guild of the ally are moving toward the next destination on the ship. As the display unit 21, any display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display can be adopted.

  The operation unit 22 receives a user operation performed on the game. Then, the operation unit 22 passes an input signal corresponding to the received user operation to the terminal control unit 24. The operation unit 22 can employ any input interface such as a button or a touch panel. Hereinafter, the operation unit 22 will be described as a touch panel.

  The terminal control unit 24 controls various operations of the communication terminal 2. Further, when the terminal control unit 24 acquires an input signal corresponding to a user operation received on various screens displayed on the display unit 21 from the operation unit 22, the terminal control unit 24 sends the input signal to the game server 1 via the terminal communication unit 20. Send.

(Shared character)
The game server 1 of the game system according to the present embodiment provides a game in which the guild of the ally and the enemy guild are played against each other. In this game, the guild of the ally is not only a group (team) in the battle but also a shared character. Become a group (team) to grow and change The shared character is, for example, a living thing (pet or the like), a moving body (vehicle or the like), a building, or the like, but is not particularly limited as long as it is a common object that can grow and change.

  The shared character is given to the player character of the user of the communication terminal when the grant condition is satisfied. For example, the shared character may be automatically given to the player character when starting the game. That is, the granting condition may be that the user of the communication terminal 2 participates in the game. As another example, the granting condition may be that the player character reaches a specific point in the game or wins a specific battle.

  At this time, the given shared character is owned by a specific player character, and its attribute is in an initial state. For example, if the shared character is a creature such as a pet, it may be given as an egg before hatching. Further, for example, if the shared character is a moving body, it may be given in a state where the grade of the engine or the protective equipment is the lowest. For example, if the shared character is a building, the outer wall may be given with a single color and no decorativeness. Here, the attribute is a property including a growth element included in the shared character. Examples of the attribute include battle ability (level, attack power, defense power, etc.), appearance, action, performance, etc. In this embodiment, the attribute is determined according to the classification of the shared character. For example, if the shared character is a pet, the attribute is at least one of a battle ability and an appearance. For example, if the shared character is a building, the attribute is appearance. The game server 1 manages the change (growth) of the attribute in association with the numerical value of the parameter (for example, level).

  The shared character can be shared by a guild to which the player character that owns it belongs, that is, a guild that includes the player character. As will be described later, the attributes of the shared character shared by the guild change depending on not only the behavior of the owner player character but also the behavior of other player characters that make up the guild. Since the size, direction, and the like of the change in the attribute of the shared character are not determined only by the action of the owner player character, it is necessary to nurture the shared character strategically (change the attribute) as a guild. In other words, in order to achieve the common purpose of raising the shared character as desired, it is necessary to actively exchange in the guild and continuously demonstrate the strategy as well as the battle scene.

  An upper limit may be set for the number of shared characters shared in the guild. For example, it is assumed that the guild is composed of five or more player characters, and each player character has one or more shared characters. At this time, if the upper limit of the number of shared characters that can be shared in the guild is four, there is a high possibility that the strategy will be examined in the guild in order to select an advantageous shared character in the progress of the game. In the following description, it is assumed that there is no particular upper limit on the number of shared characters shared by the guild, and the shared characters owned by the guild members are automatically shared by the guild.

(About the Management Department)
The game server 1 of the game system according to the present embodiment uses the first management unit 31, the second management unit 32, and the third management unit 33 in relation to the shared character shared in the guild. The user data 110, shared character data 111, guild data 112, and contribution data 113 stored in the storage unit 11 are managed.

  The first management unit 31 is a block that mainly manages information related to the user and the player character, and updates the user data 110, the guild data 112, and the like as necessary, as will be described later.

  The second management unit 32 is a block that mainly manages information related to the upgrade (growth, change) of the shared character, and updates the shared character data 111 and the like as necessary as will be described later.

  The third management unit 33 is a block that mainly manages the contribution to the change of the attribute of the shared character, and updates the contribution data 113 and the like as necessary as will be described later. In the present embodiment, the degree of contribution is a numerical value relatively indicating how much a certain player character contributed to the upgrade of the shared character. For example, it is assumed that only a certain player character among the members of the guild is raised by giving food (for example, food items) to a shared character that is a pet. At this time, regarding the growth of the shared character, the contribution degree of the player character giving food is 100%, and the contribution degree of the other player characters is 0%.

  Here, all or part of the first management unit 31, the second management unit 32, and the third management unit 33 may be merged into one block. Conversely, blocks may be further divided for all or part of the first management unit 31, the second management unit 32, and the third management unit 33. The game server 1 is a computer that operates according to a program stored in the storage unit 11, and all or part of the first management unit 31, the second management unit 32, and the third management unit 33 are included. It may be realized by software. For example, a program stored in the storage unit 11 may cause the computer to function as the first management unit 31, the second management unit 32, and the third management unit 33.

(User data)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of user data 110 in the management data. In the user data 110, the user of the communication terminal is distinguished by an ID (for example, U001) that can be uniquely identified, and is associated with the ID to be “level”, “experience value”, “money”, “shared character”. , “Possession item”, “job”, “status” parameters are managed in a table. The parameters are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2, but may further include, for example, play time, equipment information such as weapons and armor, and some parameters may be omitted. User data 110 is mainly managed by the first management unit 31.

  In this embodiment, the user ID is a combination of a three-digit number with the letter “U”, but is not limited to this. For example, as long as the user can be uniquely identified, the player character name arbitrarily set by the user may be used. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that one user operates one player character. “Level” is a parameter indicating the degree of growth of the player character in the game, and the higher the numerical value of the level, the higher the degree of growth. “Experience value” is a parameter that contributes to an increase in level, and is added according to the progress of the game, the battle, and the like. In the present embodiment, when the experience value reaches 100%, the level increases. At this time, a new level is set and the experience value is reset to 0%. “Money” is a parameter indicating in-game currency possessed by the user, and is added according to the progress of the game, the battle, and the like. The in-game currency can be a reward of the present invention, and can be used for purchasing items to be described later. In addition, a reward means what produces a useful effect in advancing a game by owning or using it.

  The “shared character” is owned by the player character as described above, but is shared by the guild to which the player character belongs. In the present embodiment, the shared character is distinguished by an ID in which a “C” character is combined with a three-digit number. For example, a user whose ID is U003 owns a shared character whose ID is C002.

  The “possession item” is an item possessed by the user. An item is a kind of reward of the present invention, and when a user operates a player character that constitutes a guild, the item is used for the shared character shared by the guild, and the attribute of the shared character is changed. Can do. For example, a user whose ID is U001 possesses the food of a shared character (ID is a pet as will be described later) with the ID of C003, and the attributes (for example, competitive ability and appearance) of the shared character by giving food. At least one of the above can be changed. Further, for example, a user with ID U002 possesses a decoration A of a shared character (section is a building as will be described later) with an ID C001. ) Can be changed. Further, for example, a user with an ID of U003 has an engine F of a shared character with an ID of C002 (the classification is a moving body as will be described later). For example, at least one of the performance (moving speed and movable range) can be changed.

  Here, the user is given an item when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition may be, for example, winning a battle or purchasing an item. The items obtained in the battle may be betted by both guilds who will win the game (the loss of the loser), or may be provided as a winning prize. In particular, when an item is bet by a battle, a strategy as a guild is required regarding what to be bet on and the like, and an increase in exchange within the guild can be expected. In addition, if discussions can be made to determine who owns the items obtained by winning the battle, further exchanges within the guild can be expected. The item is not limited to a finished product, and may be a part (for example, a piece).

  “Job” represents the occupational attribute of the player character in the game, and may affect the magnitude and direction of the change in the attribute of the shared character. Conditions for changing the magnitude and direction of attribute change are determined for each shared character. For example, a shared character that is a pet may increase the speed at which the level is increased when the job receives food from a player character that is a warrior. In addition, the shared character that is a pet may change so that the magic can be used when the job receives food from a player character that is a wizard. Further, for example, the moving speed of the shared character that is a moving object may be further enhanced when the player character whose job is the craftsman uses the item. Moreover, the shared character which is a moving body may further increase defense power when the player character whose job is a warrior uses an item. Therefore, which job player character contributes to changing the attribute of the shared character (hereinafter also referred to as “raising the shared character”) affects future changes in the attribute of the shared character. For this reason, a strategy as a guild is necessary for who raises shared characters, and it is expected that exchanges within the guild will be activated.

  “Status” represents the influence on the status (for example, attack power, defense power, hit point, etc.) of the player character when the shared character is used in a battle or the like. In one example of FIG. 2, the status of the player character of the user whose ID is U001 increases by 50% from the normal when the shared character whose ID is C003 is used (for example, summoned in a battle). Since the advantage in the battle or the like changes depending on which user uses the shared character, a strategy as a guild is required, and activation of exchange within the guild can be expected.

(Shared character data)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the shared character data 111 in the management data. In the shared character data 111, the shared character is distinguished by an ID (for example, C001) that can be uniquely identified, and is associated with the ID to be “category”, “level”, “experience value”, “guild”, “attribute” Table management is performed for parameters such as “the magnitude of change”, “direction of attribute change”, and “status”. Further, the parameters are not limited to those shown in FIG. 3, and may further include information such as the number of times of summoning in the battle, or some parameters may be omitted. The shared character data 111 is mainly managed by the second management unit 32.

  In this embodiment, the shared character ID is a combination of a three-digit number with the letter “C”, but is not limited thereto. “Division” indicates a category of the shared character, and in this embodiment, there are a pet that is a living thing, a moving body that is a vehicle used when the player character moves, a building that the player character uses as a residence or a gathering place, and the like. The pet may include not only pets such as dogs and cats, but also summons that participate in the battle by summoning the player character. Further, the mobile body may include, for example, a ship, a vehicle, an airplane, and the like. In addition, the building may include, for example, a tent, a building, a castle and the like.

  “Level” is a parameter indicating the degree of growth of the attribute of the shared character in the game. The higher the level, the higher the growth rate.

  “Experience value” is a parameter that contributes to an increase in level, and is added according to the use of an item, participation in a battle, and the like. In the present embodiment, when the experience value reaches 100%, the level increases. At this time, a new level is set and the experience value is reset to 0%.

  “Guild” indicates a guild in which the shared character is shared. In one example of FIG. 3, the shared character whose ID is C002 is shared by the guild whose ID is G001. That is, the shared character whose ID is C002 is shared by the guild to which the player character who is the owner belongs. Here, for example, when an upper limit is set for the number of shared characters shared by the guild, the blank may be left when the shared character is not shared by the guild.

  “Magnitude of attribute change” defines the amount of change (the degree of growth) when the attribute of the shared character changes according to the action of the player character constituting the guild. Also, the direction of attribute change indicates the direction of change in the attribute of the shared character (the direction of growth). The “size of attribute change” and “direction of attribute change” are affected by the degree of contribution to the change of the attribute of the shared character. Specific examples of contribution will be described later.

  The “size of attribute change” will be specifically described. In the example of FIG. 3, the magnitude of the attribute change is 150% and 50% for the shared characters with IDs C002 and C003, respectively. Therefore, the shared characters whose IDs are C002 and C003 grow, that is, level up at 1.5 times and half the normal speed, respectively.

  The “direction of attribute change” will be specifically described. For example, a shared character whose ID is C001 is a building, and has a growth direction of type A (type A) in which the decorativeness of the appearance increases and type B in which the defense power is increased. Determined in one direction. Further, for example, the shared character whose ID is C002 is a moving body, which is a type A in which the number of people that can be carried increases, type B in which the probability of encountering an enemy is low, and type C (type C) in which the moving speed is high. There is a direction of growth, and it is determined in one direction by the degree of contribution. Further, for example, the shared character whose ID is C003 is a pet, and the type A in which the attack power by the hit is strong, the type B in which the attack type magic is strong, the type C in which the recovery type magic is strong, There is a growth direction such as Type D that is strengthened in a well-balanced manner without specializing in a part, and it is determined in one direction by the contribution. In the example of FIG. 3, the shared characters whose IDs are C001, C002, and C003 grow in the directions of Type A, Type C, and Type D, respectively. For example, the guild can improve the degree of growth or change the direction of change in the attribute of the shared character by changing the player character to be raised (that is, changing the contribution). In other words, a strategy as a guild is necessary regarding the direction of future growth of shared characters, and it is expected that exchanges within the guild will be activated.

  “Status” represents an influence on the status (for example, attack power, defense power, hit point, etc.) of the shared character when the shared character is used in a battle or the like. For example, when the status of the shared character is summoned by a player character of a user who has a high contribution, the status may be higher than usual. In one example of FIG. 3, the status of the shared character whose ID is C003 is increased by 50% than usual when used by the user's player character whose ID is U001 (for example, summoned during a battle). Since the advantage of the battle changes depending on which user summons the shared character, a strategy as a guild is required, and it is expected that exchanges within the guild will be activated.

(Guild data)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the guild data 112 in the management data. In the guild data 112, the guild is identified by an ID (for example, G001) that can be uniquely identified, and is associated with the ID, and the parameters of “guild member” and “shared character” are managed in a table. Further, the parameters are not limited to those shown in FIG. 4, and may further include, for example, information on the history of the number of constituent members. The guild data 112 is mainly managed by the first management unit 31.

  In the present embodiment, the guild ID is a combination of a three-digit number with the letter “G”, but is not limited to this. “Guild member” indicates a member (member) constituting the guild using a user ID. “Shared character” indicates a shared character shared by the guild using the ID of the shared character. For example, the guild whose ID is G003 has the player characters of the users whose IDs are U001, U030 and U121 as members, and share the shared characters whose IDs are C003, C019 and C142. Due to the existence of the guild data 112, the game server 1 of the game system according to the present embodiment can appropriately associate the user data 110 with the shared character data 111.

(Contribution data)
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the contribution data 113 in the management data. The contribution degree data 113 is obtained by calculating the contribution degree for each player character constituting the guild for each shared character ID. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the contribution level at each level of the shared character is calculated, and the contribution levels at all levels (overall) are also calculated. For example, when the magnitude and direction of attribute change is determined by the contribution level at a specific level, the level of contribution at that level is referred to. At other times, the contribution level at all levels (overall) May be referred to. The shared character ID is the same as that of the shared character data 111.

  Several specific examples will be described with reference to FIG. For example, a shared character whose ID is C001 is in an initial state (a state where it is not raised), and any user contributes 0% regardless of the level. For example, for a shared character whose ID is C002, the contribution of the player character of the user whose ID is U083 is highest at level 1, and the contribution of the player character of the user whose ID is U003 is higher at level 2 I understand. Such level-specific contribution is referred to in the following cases. For example, the change direction of the attribute of the shared character is influenced by the job of the player character having the highest contribution when level 1 (type C if the job is a craftsman, and type A otherwise). And At this time, the game server 1 of the game system according to the present embodiment refers to the contribution level 1 of the contribution level data 113, easily determines the corresponding job from the user data 110, and determines the direction of attribute change. It is possible to determine.

(Processing of information processing device)
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game battle screen distributed to the communication terminal 2 by the game server 1 of the game system according to the present embodiment. Such a battle screen is displayed on the display unit 21 of the communication terminal 2 used by the user of the ally guild A. In this battle screen, guilds are fighting against each other, ally guild members are placed on the side of the display 90a that is the ally guild A (left side of the page), and the side of the display 90b that is the enemy guild B (right side of the page) ) Are enemy guild members.

  The ally guild member is a user whose ID is U001, U030, U098, U121, and the player characters 91a, 91b, 91c, 91d and statuses 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are displayed on the battle screen. The enemy guild members are users with IDs E001, E002, E003, and E004, and the player characters 93a, 93b, 93c, and 93d and the statuses 94a, 94b, 94c, and 94d are displayed on the battle screen. Yes. In this battle, ally guild A summons pet C003 (display 90c) and participates in the battle. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the character 96 of the pet C003 attacks the enemy guild member.

  In general, by summoning a character other than the user's player character, such as the pet C003, and making a battle, for example, the weak point of the ally guild A can be compensated and the battle can be advantageously advanced. As described above, the magnitude and direction of change of the attribute of the pet C003 changes according to the contribution degree. Therefore, strategy is required to grow pet C003 as desired. As a result, it is expected that exchanges will be activated even during non-competition in the guild, and that more users would like to participate in the guild to nurture the pet C003. In addition, even if the shared character is other than a pet (for example, a moving body such as a ship or a building such as a castle), there is a way of enjoying that the appearance is unique to the ally guild A. Also in this case, the magnitude and direction of the change in the attribute of the shared character change depending on which user's player character uses the item. Therefore, a strategy is necessary in this regard, and it is expected that exchanges within the guild will continue to be activated. Users who are looking forward to decorative design can also be expected to participate in the guild.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing when the game server 1 of the game system according to the present embodiment distributes a game to the communication terminal 2.

  In step S <b> 1, the game server 1 gives a shared character to the player character of the user of the communication terminal 2. The shared character is given to the player character of the user of the communication terminal when the grant condition is satisfied. Therefore, the game server 1 also determines whether or not the grant condition is satisfied. In the example of FIG. 7, it is assumed that the granting condition is that the user of the communication terminal 2 participates in the game. The game server 1 receives information about the user operation from the communication terminal 2 and assigns the shared character at a timing when the grant condition is satisfied.

  In step S <b> 2, the first management unit 31 of the game server 1 updates the user data 110 and the guild data 112. Further, the second management unit 32 of the game server 1 updates the shared character data 111. Specifically, the user data 110, the shared character of the guild data 112, and the guild of the shared character data 111 are updated to reflect the provision of the shared character and the sharing within the guild.

  In step S3, the game server 1 waits until the sharer, that is, the member of the guild performs an action of changing the attribute of the shared character (No in step S3). If there is an action that changes the attribute of the shared character (Yes in step S3), the process proceeds to step S4. In this step, the game server 1 specifically performs the following determination. The game server 1 receives information about user operations from the communication terminal 2 of the user of the player character that constitutes the guild. If the use of the possessed item (for example, giving food to the shared character) is included in the user operation, it is determined that there is an action that changes the attribute of the shared character.

  In step S4, the first management unit 31 of the game server 1 updates the user data 110. Further, the second management unit 32 of the game server 1 updates the shared character data 111. Specifically, the possessed item of the user data 110 and the level and experience value of the shared character data 111 are updated. If there is no change in the level and experience value, the shared character data 111 need not be updated.

  In step S5, the game server 1 calculates the contribution degree to having changed the attribute of the shared character for each player character constituting the guild.

  In step S6, the game server 1 reflects the calculation result of the contribution degree in the magnitude and direction of the change in the attribute of the shared character. That is, the magnitude and direction of the change in the attribute of the shared character is determined in accordance with the new contribution level of the player character constituting the guild. At this time, for example, when it is clear that the magnitude of change in the attribute of the shared character is not affected, only the direction may be determined. That is, at least one of the size and direction may be determined. And the 2nd management part 32 of the game server 1 updates the data of the magnitude | size of the change of an attribute of the shared character data 111, and the change direction of an attribute as needed.

  In step S7, the game server 1 changes the status of the player character in the battle and the status of the shared character used by the player character in the battle or the like according to the contribution calculated in step S5. At this time, for example, when it is clear that the status in the battle of the player character or the like is not affected, only the status of the shared character needs to be changed. That is, at least one of the player character status and the shared character status may be changed. Specifically, the first management unit 31 of the game server 1 updates the status of the user data 110. Further, the second management unit 32 of the game server 1 updates the status of the shared character data 111. If there is no change in the status of the player character and the status of the shared character, the user data 110 and the shared character data 111 need not be updated.

  In step S8, the 3rd management part 33 of the game server 1 updates the contribution data 113, and reflects the calculation result in step S5.

  As described above, in the game server 1, the game system control method, and the program thereof according to the present embodiment, the shared character shared by the user character of the communication terminal 2 in the guild including the player character. And the attribute of the shared character is changed according to the action of the player character constituting the guild. The attribute of the shared character shared by the guild varies depending not only on the behavior of the owner player character, but also on the behavior of other player characters that make up the guild. Since the size, direction, and the like of the change in the attribute of the shared character are not determined only by the action of the owner player character, it is necessary to nurture the shared character strategically (change the attribute) as a guild. Therefore, in the game server 1, the game system control method, and the program thereof according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide shared character development as a common purpose in the guild, and to increase the exchange in the user's guild. . In order to achieve this common goal, for example, it is necessary to continuously exhibit strategic properties not only during a battle but also during a non-match.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and corrections based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, functions and the like included in each block and step can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and a plurality of blocks and steps can be combined into one or divided.

  For example, the game progress screen is a web display displayed on the communication terminal 2 based on the data generated by the game server 1, and other menu screens are displayed by a native application installed in the communication terminal 2. Each of the game server 1 and the communication terminal 2 can be a hybrid application that takes part of the processing.

  In the above embodiment, the attribute of the shared character is affected by the actions of all the player characters that make up the guild. However, for example, as an effect on the progress of the game, a member of a guild that affects the attributes of the shared character may be selected. In the process of this selection, further discussion within the guild is carried out, and the strategy outside the battle scene is demonstrated. Further, the use (or penalty) of the item in the battle may prevent the specific player character from affecting the attributes of the shared character. At this time, it may be necessary to review the strategy, so further discussion within the guild will take place.

  In the above embodiment, when using a shared character, the status of the player character is also strengthened according to the contribution. Here, when the shared character can be summoned, the number of times that the common character can be summoned may be included in the status. In other words, when a player character with a high degree of contribution summons the shared character to the battle, the frequency that can be summoned may be higher than usual (that is, the number of times that the character can be summoned may be increased). At this time, since the advantage of the battle changes depending on which user summons the shared character, a strategy as a guild is required, and activation of exchange within the guild can be expected.
