ABSTRACT:
Provided are a chat system, a chat device, a chat server control method, and an information storage medium for realizing sound communication between users. When a message transfer unit (11a) receives a message, the message is transferred to a game terminal of a transmission destination and a stop limit unit (11c) transmits an instruction such as a limit instruction limiting a chat function stop processing in the game terminal to the game terminal of the transmission source of the message. A stop limit time calculation unit (11d) calculates a period of a stop limit time for limiting the chat function stop processing in accordance with the number of characters in the received message and a timer unit (11b) specifies a stop limit time end time instant. When the stop limit time end time instant has been reached, the stop limit unit (11c) transmits a limit cancel instruction for canceling the limit of the chat function stop processing.
