A system for managing the avatars of each of a plurality of users, comprising one or more computer processors, wherein the one or more computer processors, in response to the execution of a readable command, are configured to perform:
- processing to apply an item selected from among items possessed by the user, to the user's avatar,
- processing to display the avatar in a display mode based on at least the item that has been applied, and
- processing to update a specific parameter based on at least the actions of other users,
- wherein the actions of the other users are related to a special item,
- wherein the specific parameter is managed in association with the special item, and
- the processing to display the avatar includes changing the display mode of the avatar according to the value of the specific parameter when the user has applied the special item to the avatar.
