• receiving, by a game server, a game participation request from a user;
• assigning, by the game server, the user to a waiting queue according to a time of the game participation request from the user, comprising:
• determining a time segment the user belongs to, according to the time of the game participation request from the user;
• obtaining, according to a pre-stored mapping relationship between time segments and waiting queues, the waiting queue associated with the time segment the user belongs to;
• and
• assigning the user to the obtained waiting queue when the obtained waiting queue has remaining space;
• selecting, by the game server, one or more participants from a plurality of users, from one or more waiting queues other than the waiting queue of the user, to play a game in a same group with the user;
• and
• allocating game resources for the user and the selected one or more participants, wherein all the user and the one or more participants are from different waiting queues.

A server, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a game participation request from a user;
• assign the user to a waiting queue according to a time of the game participation request from the user, comprising:
• determine a time segment the user belongs to, according to the time of the game participation request from the user;
• obtain, according to a pre-stored mapping relationship between time segments and waiting queues, the waiting queue associated with the time segment the user belongs to;
• and
• assign the user to the obtained waiting queue when the obtained waiting queue has remaining space;
• select one or more participants from a plurality of users, from one or more waiting queues other than the waiting queue of the user, to play a game in a same group with the user;
• and
• allocate game resources for the user and the selected one or more participants, wherein all the user and the one or more participants are from different waiting queues.
