Play against the remote players through the Internet or through the in-game scheduling process, role-playing games

RPG (Role-playing game) evolved from a stand-alone version to an online game (On-line game) to add more game fun, and the game history provided by the workshop is similar. Referring to the flowchart of the RPG type online game in the prior art illustrated in FIG. 1, in step 102, the server verifies the account and password input by the player to confirm the identity of the player.

 Since a general online game agency company often simultaneously acts on a plurality of different games, and each player may be in a different game, respectively, a character representing the player is registered; therefore, after the step 104 is verified, the server side will be formed. The player selects a single character in the account to enter the game.

 In step 106, the server will instruct the character to perform the task or find the monster to be killed by the character to the game map. In step 108, the server will determine whether the monster life ^ 1 is zero. If the monster's life value has been zeroed, then step 110 is provided by the server to provide the role feedback experience value, virtual currency or virtual equipment.

 If it is determined in step 108 that the monster has not died, then jump back to step 106 and the character is searched for another monster to kill. After the server 110 provides the relevant feedback, in step 112, the server provides a role to upgrade the virtual currency, the virtual equipment to the warehouse or the transaction, and the role is upgraded when the player accumulates a certain experience value until the player enters the next time. game. Therefore, the above course can be roughly summarized as a game mode of Daguai → Sui Bao → upgrade.

Please also refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic diagram of a game scene created by the server. The character 2 representing the player is usually set by the server to be a fixed-capacity equipment field 21 in the game, wearing protective equipment 25 and equipped with an attack. Equip 26 to attack a has a health of 32 Monster 3 with a mana value of 33. In FIG. 2, the life value 22 and the mana value 23 show the vital signs of the character 2, and the experience value 24 indicates the role of the character 2, and the equipment field 21 can be used to accommodate the medicines needed to recover the character 2 vital signs. Excess equipment 28 and virtual currency 29 worn on the body or obtained. When the monster 3 is attacked by the character 2 to death, it may randomly "spray" the virtual currency, and the virtual equipment (not shown) is picked up by the character 2 to pick up the belonging equipment field 21. In addition to obtaining the feedback, the character 2 can obtain a certain experience displayed on the experience value 24 as a basis for the role 2 upgrade, and thus the game history is roughly explained.

 However, by looking at the online game services currently available in the market, the history of each game is similar. In addition to distinguishing the differences between games by storyline, character modeling and game soundtrack, the essence of the game is still unchanged. Under the most basic human needs, there is not much difference in consuming any one of the game software for entertainment. Therefore, online games will no longer be fresh, and after more online games are listed, it is still not available. More value for money.

 【detailed description】

 The detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention will be apparent from Further, in the various embodiments, the same components will be denoted by like reference numerals.

 First, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a network game system with a role time supply platform according to the present invention. The network game system 1 of the present invention includes a plurality of network game terminals 15 to 18 controlled by the player. The terminals shown in the figure are only schematic, and the number of terminals in actual operation is of course not limited thereto.

 The network game system 1 further includes a database 12 storing data representing the player's virtual character, and a server 14 connected to the database 12; the server 14 is connected to each of the terminals 15 to 18 via the network 10.

 The server 14 accesses through the database 12, for one of the players to obtain a predetermined right in a predetermined manner through one of the network game terminals, for example, the terminal 18, and the server 14 accepts the application for obtaining the predetermined right through the terminal 18 by the player who has obtained the predetermined right.

Then, in the online game environment, a non-persistent angle corresponding to the predetermined right will be formed. Color, the server 14 will settle to the persistent role of the non-persistent character or the rights player according to a predetermined feedback mechanism corresponding to the non-persistent role in a predetermined period of time, and cut off the predetermined rights player terminal when the predetermined time period expires. 18 control over non-persistent roles.

 Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a flowchart of the operation process of the representative of the present invention. The initial step 302 authorizes one of the players to obtain a predetermined right by the server in a predetermined manner, and the predetermined manner may be a payment transaction, a bidding transaction or a server. The awards offered by the end are changed.

 The next step 304 server accepts the application for the predetermined right of the player to execute the predetermined right, and then the step 306 confirms that the predetermined right player performs the predetermined right period. Of course, it can also be changed to a stop point without a predetermined time period, and the server side decides to stop the service by a certain mechanism, for example, the predetermined rights player actively cancels the game, and then suspends the game, etc.; Step 308, the server side publicizes the notice to reserve the rights to the player. Perform the right part of the predetermined right to attract the rest of the players to participate in the game.

 In step 310, the server will form a non-persistent role corresponding to the predetermined right in the online game environment, for example, by a predetermined rights player playing a large monster, a master, and the like different from the usual persistent character. As in step 302, in step 312, of course, the non-player controlled server control role may be acquired by the predetermined rights holder as another non-sustainable role in another predetermined condition, for example, by the player paying another fee. Another pet or monster that serves as a guard, or a server-side incentive to participate in activities, is a gift mode that is often difficult for industry practitioners to refer to; of course, the server allows non-persistent roles. It is also a feasible solution to play with the original continuous character. .

 When the step 314 is performed, the server may publicly notify the remaining time that the predetermined rights holder performs the predetermined right, and remind the participating players to control the time; Step 316: The server end settles to a predetermined feedback mechanism corresponding to the non-persistent role in a predetermined time period to The persistent role of the non-persistent character or the rights player, such as the amount invested by the server in the early subscription of the rights of the player, the virtual equipment, virtual currency, etc. obtained by the non-persistent role, with the corresponding relationship feedback A non-sustainable/sustainable role to the intended rights of the player.

Of course, as all online game players expect, feedback can be done in the following ways, such as the unparalleled fantasy equipment that can't be obtained according to the normal game process, the huge amount of virtual currency, and the experience value that can be obtained after a long time on weekdays. Role special ability, gift A character-oriented pet or mount, a long-lasting life or mana potion, or a pass-through password or right to another specific game map or a new map of the game environment, or even a chance to play the role of the owner, etc. The software can be modified to achieve this feedback as a function of the present invention.

 When step 318 is performed, it is determined by the server side whether to cut off the predetermined rights of the player terminal in advance to control the non-persistent character, for example, the non-persistent role of the predetermined rights player is attacked and killed, and the server side appoints the non-persistent role of the predetermined right player. The task fails, the right to defend the player's non-persistent character, the death of the guard or the predetermined right of the player to actively terminate the service, and the like.

 The final step 320 is to cut off the control of the non-persistent role of the predetermined right player terminal when the predetermined time period expires, and the service is temporarily over.

 For further explanation, please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of a scenario of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The player presents a predetermined right by paying for a predetermined right, for example, by purchasing an existing value card such as a stored value card or an online bonus. The health value 62 and the mana value 63 respectively show the vital signs of the character 6, and the server side can use the system announcement 8 to announce that the remaining players characters 42, 44 and 46 are invited to challenge, which can also enhance the use of the remaining players. The item server side provides interest in playing the role service, and timer 5 displays the remaining time of this play period.

 After each batch of challenges, if the remaining player characters 42, 44 and 46 who are coming to challenge are defeated, the character 6 controlled by the predetermined rights player can use the equipment field 61 to receive the winning loot such as the medicament 67, the redundant equipment 68 and the virtual Currency 69 and so on. Of course, the server-side service mode can provide a relative role level according to the player's input cost, and the player will directly obtain the peer-to-peer feedback; relatively, if the remaining player roles 42, 44, and 46 challenge successfully, the role 6 is killed. , you can get feedback from the role 6 affiliate.

Of course, as can be easily considered in the art, the present invention can be further changed to increase the player's role in obtaining the operation role while paying another fee to obtain the server control role to assist the defense to become an alliance. The mode of protection capability. Referring to FIG. 6, which is a schematic diagram of a scenario according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the player pays the first fee to purchase the predetermined rights to play the role 6', the health value 62' and the mana value 63', which respectively display the life of the character 6'. Signs. In addition, pay another fee to get a defensive alliance server control role such as monster 7 ', server-side use system announcement 8 ' announcement known to attract the rest to play The roles 42', 44' and 46' are involved in the challenge, and the timer 5' displays the remaining time of the play period to remind the participants to control the progress.

 After the offense and defense, if the remaining players characters 42', 44' and 46' who come to challenge are unable to win and do not win, the character 6' controlled by the predetermined rights player can use the equipment field 6Γ to receive the results such as the medicament 67', redundant Equipped with 68' and virtual currency 69' and so on. Conversely, if the remaining player characters 42', 44', and 46' are successful, killing the character 6' and assisting the character 6'defense monster 7', you can get the role 6' affiliated feedback.

 Referring to Figure 7, there is shown a schematic diagram of a scene in accordance with a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is another example of the present invention. In this example, the rights player does not obtain authorization via a payment mechanism, but randomly triggers a task in the game scene to obtain the predetermined rights. In addition to playing the role action, the game software can also be used as a common defense alliance by the original player of the rights player, adding more fun to the game. Both the offensive and defensive sides can hone more difficult operation skills. In Fig. 7, the player obtains a character 6" with a life value of 62" and a mana value of 63", and a character with a life value of 22" and a mana value of 23" 2" also wears protective equipment 25" and is equipped with an attack. Equipped with 26" - and joined the game to become a 6" league. Experience value 24" can represent the character 2" of the battle experience.

 As for the system announcement 8", the remaining player characters 42", 44" and 46", and the characters 2", 6", the results of the storage of the equipment fields 21", 61" such as the medicament 27", 67", the redundant equipment 28", 68 "with virtual currency 29", 69", timer 5" displays the remaining time of this playing period to remind the participants to control the progress. As described in the previous embodiment, it will not be described here.

 Through the foregoing embodiments, the concept of the present invention can realize a game mode that is completely different from the online game in the prior art, and the player who pays or obtains the game reward can satisfy the game without affecting the original use rights of each player.
