Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007016384A2] 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 patrol 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.
