Abstract: Offers provided within a game space may decrease in value based on previous acceptances of the offers. A game instance of a game space may be executed to facilitate presentation of views of the game space to users to enable interaction of the users with the game space and/or each other by performing operations in the game space in response to commands received from the users. Offers may be provided within the game instance of the game space that decrease in value based on previous acceptances of the offers. The offers may include a first offer having a first value that progressively decreases based on an amount of users that have previously accepted the first offer in order to incentivize early acceptance of the first offer.

Abstract: A system and method configured to enhance gameplay between users in an online game. In some implementations, the system and method include executing an instance of an online game and determining the value of a gameplay parameter for a user reflecting progress by that user within the online game. The system and method includes conducting an event in the online game that takes place during an event time period and determining, for individual users, values of an event parameter based on changes in the values of the gameplay parameter determined for users during the event time period and determining relative positions of users based on respective values of the event parameter and distributing awards based thereon.

Abstract: Systems and methods for online gaming including virtual placeholder items that can be exchanged for virtual items of value based on a quantitative performance of the users relative other users in events that take place in the online game.

Abstract: A system and method for incentivizing users to alter virtual item balances in an online game are disclosed. The incentives may include rewards for users to reach balance goals. The balance goals may specify target balances of virtual items to be reached in user inventories, and a time by which such target balances must be reached in order for the users to receive a reward. Such target balance may include minimum or maximum balances levels, a range of absolute balance levels, a change in the current balance levels of virtual items in the user inventories and/or any other target balances. Determinations whether a given user has reached such target balance in accordance with a balance goal may be made at or before the time specified in the balance goal.

Abstract: A system configured to facilitate user customization of the distribution of virtual items usable in a virtual space. Virtual items may be distributed via probability item bundles. Probability item bundles may be associated with a set of potential awards. The potential awards included in the set of potential awards may be individually associated with a probability of being distributed once the probability item bundle is activated by a user. Customization of probability item bundles may comprise facilitating user selection of the potential awards included in the sets of potential awards of the probability item bundles.

Abstract: A system and method for providing event rewards within an online game are disclosed. A secondary game may be provided to facilitate players to win awards provided by the secondary game. The secondary game may be exclusive to players who achieve ranks in an event at the end of event period. Individual rewards may be determined based on such player ranks. The individual rewards may include a quantity of free turns to play the secondary game, a quantity of optional turns to play the secondary game in exchange for consideration from the ranked players and/or other reward features. Notification may be presented to the ranked players notifying the optional turns must be acquired by the players before a point of time or else they will be offered to lower ranked players.

Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to providing dynamic and static contest prize allocation based on in-game achievement of a user in an online game in order to encourage players to continue to purchase items to improve their tournament metrics even if they may be unable to improve their tournament rank. For example, calculation of a dynamic prize may comprise for rank x, the player may gain 1 prize unit for every y Glory gained (when Glory may be the measured by the tournament). The y value may increase for lower ranks achieved in the tournament.

Abstract: A system and method configured to provide limited-time events to users in an online game. The system and method may include executing an instance of an online game and effectuating presentation of offers to users to activate a limited-time event within the online game. Activation of the limited-time event may enable users to perform event runs through the limited-time event for a duration. The execution of event runs through the limited-time event in response to user commands received from a client computing platform associated with the user may deplete the virtual resource in an inventory of the user. The system and method may maintain inventories of the users and recharge the virtual resource as a function of time. The performance of users may be assessed and awards may be distributed to the users based on the assessment of their performance during the event runs. The system and method may include effectuating exchanges by the users of virtual items for the first virtual resource.

Abstract: A system and method configured to enhance gameplay between users in an online game and to provide enhanced interest in virtual goods associated with collections of virtual goods through the ability to rotate drop rates associated with these virtual goods from time to time. The system and method includes the provision of functionality which allows providers of online games to periodically rotate drop rates associated with mystery boxes in order to maintain and/or generate additional interest in specific mystery boxes. As a result, it is possible for game operators to enhance revenue opportunities associated with these boxes even in the case where such boxes have been available for a relatively lengthy period of time and/or where players would have otherwise lost interest in specific boxes.

Abstract: A system and method for varying the distribution probabilities of individual potential awards associated with probability item bundles depending on a purchase history of a user activating a probability item bundle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is technology for providing in-game bonuses to a user's in-game persona. The technology involves affiliation virtual items that provide quality-based bonuses and level based bonuses. The technology provides systems and methods for upgrading an affiliation virtual item's level and/or enhancing the affiliation virtual item's quality. If an upgrade or enhancement is unsuccessful, the affiliation virtual item may be broken and the quality bonuses and/or level bonuses may be decreased until the item is repaired.
