Abstract
A method and system provides transactions and arrangements in virtual world environments. A user can participate in transactions to acquire virtual property and related virtual rights. In some implementations, real-world and virtual parties can be involved in possible transfers and/or transfer revocations involving various types of virtual objects and virtual rights.
Claims21
A method for implementing a future transfer in a virtual world, comprising:
- identifying a particular virtual object or virtual right in the virtual world acquired in the virtual world by a real-world donor entity;
- establishing that the future transfer of the particular virtual object or virtual right in the virtual world from the real-world donor entity to a recipient party is subject to revocation;
- and
- triggering, via a processor, a tentative transfer of the particular virtual object or virtual right in the virtual world as a result of a real-world disqualification factor.
