  • Publication number: 20070073582
    Abstract: A method and system provides arrangements creating a relationship between a real-world entity and a virtual world environment. A virtual world patron can participate in various virtual world activities including transactions to acquire virtual products, virtual services, and/or virtual items of value. Feedback may be provided and records kept regarding the virtual world activities and transactions. The virtual world patron may also have an opportunity of engaging in related real-world activities and transactions. One or more selected patrons are targeted to receive notification of a real-world opportunity that includes authorization information, which authorization information may disclose a required real-world or virtual world prerequisite. In some implementations, multiple participants at different locations may be involved in virtual world and/or real-world activities and transactions related to the real-world opportunity.

  • Publication number: 20070073614
    Abstract: A method and system provides arrangements creating a relationship between a real-world entity and a virtual world environment. A participant or player can participate in various virtual world entertainment, educational, and transactional activities. Feedback may be provided and records kept regarding the virtual world activities and transactions. The participant or player may have an opportunity of engaging in real-world activities and transactions in order to obtain a promotional virtual world premium or privilege. In some implementations, multiple players at different locations can be involved in the virtual world and real-world activities and transactions that involve and may be affected by the virtual world premium or privilege.
