Abstract: A system for automatically increasing a capacity of a virtual space in a virtual world may include a processor and a module operating on the processor for detecting an attempt by an avatar to enter a virtual space in a virtual world. The system may also include another module for determining if an allowable number of avatars is currently in the virtual space. The allowable number of avatars may be determined by at least a capacity of a server that is hosting the virtual space. Another module may be provided for increasing a capacity of the virtual space when the allowable number of avatars is currently in the virtual space. Increasing the capacity of the virtual space may include spawning a replicate new virtual space on a different server in response to the capacity of the server that is hosting the virtual space reaching the allowable number of avatars.

Abstract: A system and method for generating and providing access to a deep map. The system and method may enable a host to administer a deep map that may be generated interactively by one or more users that may be unaffiliated with the host. The system and method may enhance user access to the deep map administered by the host. The system and method may enable incorporation of perspective, as well as simple position or placement, into the deep map. For instance, a directional orientation of a user may be incorporated into the deep map.
