Video game processing apparatus and video game processing program

Abstract

A video game processing apparatus is provided. The video game processing apparatus includes a processor for controlling progress of a video game. The video game includes at least one virtual mission which a first player cannot execute. The processor informs a second player different from the first player of an existence of the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission. A display displays a game screen including an image. The image informs the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission that the at least one virtual mission has been played by the second player. The processor specifies a first privilege to be given to the second player, and the first privilege is determined in accordance with at least one of a difference in level between the first player and the second player and a relationship between the first player and the second player.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A video game processing apparatus, comprising:
 a processor for controlling progress of a video game, the video game including at least one virtual mission which a first player cannot execute;   the processor for informing a second player different from the first player of an existence of the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission; and   a display for displaying a game screen including an image, the image for informing the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission that the at least one virtual mission has been played by the second player,   wherein the processor specifies a first privilege to be given to the second player, and   the first privilege is determined in accordance with at least one of a difference in level between the first player and the second player and a relationship between the first player and the second player.   
     
     
         2 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein an operation of the first player is restricted until the second player succeeds the at least one virtual mission. 
     
     
         3 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the first player cannot carry out any operation other than an operation to give up the at least one virtual mission until the second player succeeds the at least one virtual mission. 
     
     
         4 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the first privilege is given to the second player when the second player succeeds the at least one virtual mission. 
     
     
         5 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein a second privilege is given to the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission when the second player succeeds the at least one virtual mission. 
     
     
         6 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a communication interface that gives the first privilege to the second player and the second privilege to the first player.   
     
     
         7 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the second privilege is same as the first privilege. 
     
     
         8 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the second privilege is different from the first privilege 
     
     
         9 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the first privilege is determined in accordance with the difference in level between the first player and the second player. 
     
     
         10 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the first privilege is determined in accordance with the relationship between the first player and the second player. 
     
     
         11 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the game screen includes an image which informs the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission of the relationship between the first player and the second player. 
     
     
         12 . The video game processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the game screen enables setting of the relationship between the first player and the second player. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program product that, when executed by a video game processing apparatus, causes the video game processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
 controlling, with a processor, progress of a video game, the video game including at least one virtual mission which a first player cannot execute;   informing, by the processor, a second player different from the first player of an existence of the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission; and   displaying, by a display, a game screen including an image, the image for informing the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission that the at least one virtual mission has been played by the second player,   wherein the processor specifies a first privilege to be given to the second player, and   the first privilege is determined in accordance with at least one of a difference in level between the first player and the second player and a relationship between the first player and the second player.   
     
     
         14 . A video game processing system, comprising:
 a server;   a communication network; and   a user terminal including a processor and a display, wherein   the processor controls progress of a video game by communicating with the server via the communication network, the video game including at least one virtual mission which a first player cannot execute,   the processor informs a second player different from the first player of an existence of the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission,   the display displays a game screen including an image, the image for informing the first player corresponding to the at least one virtual mission that the at least one virtual mission has been played by the second player,   the processor specifies a first privilege to be given to the second player, and   the first privilege is determined in accordance with at least one of a difference in level between the first player and the second player and a relationship between the first player and the second player.
