System and method for enabling characters to be manifested within a plurality of different virtual spaces

An information storage system configured to store information related to characters within virtual spaces, the information storage system comprising:

• character storage that stores a plurality of character records including a first character record and a second character record,
• wherein the character storage is configured to receive a request for information included within one of the stored character records from a first server remote from the character storage that is executing an instance of a first virtual space, wherein the first virtual space is a simulated physical space that has a topography, expresses real-time interaction by the one or more users, and includes one or more objects positioned within the topography that are capable of experiencing locomotion within the topography, wherein the information requested from the character storage includes information that enables the first server to manifest a first character that corresponds to the requested character record in the instance of the first virtual space being executed by the first server,
• wherein the character storage is further configured to receive a second request for information included within one of the stored character records from a second server remote from the character storage that is executing an instance of a second virtual space, wherein the second virtual space is a simulated physical space that has a topography, expresses real-time interaction by the one or more users, and includes one or more objects positioned within the topography that are capable of experiencing locomotion within the topography, wherein the information requested from the character storage through the second request includes information that enables the second server to manifest a second character that corresponds to the requested character record in the instance of the second virtual space being executed by the second server, wherein the first virtual space is of a type comprising one or more of a two-dimensional space, a three-dimensional space, a social space, a first-person space, a third-person space, an action gaming space, a role-playing space, a real-time space, or a turn-based space, and wherein the second virtual space is of a different type than the first virtual space, and wherein at least a portion of the information requested from the character storage is persistent between the first virtual space and the second virtual space;
• the first character record including information related to a first character that enables the first character to be manifested within the first virtual space;
• the second character record including information related to a second character that enables the second character to be manifested within the second virtual space;
• the character storage being remote from a client that enables a user to access and control an instance of the first virtual space being executed by the first server or an instance of the second virtual space being executed by the second server.

A server configured to execute instances of a plurality of different virtual spaces, the server comprising:

• one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising:
• an instantiation module that receives information related to a first virtual space, which is one of the plurality of different virtual spaces, from remote information storage and implements the received information to execute an instance of the first virtual space, wherein a virtual space is a simulated physical space that has a topography, expresses real-time interaction by the one or more users, and includes one or more objects positioned within the topography that are capable of experiencing locomotion within the topography, wherein the instantiation module further receives secondary information related to a second virtual space and implements the received secondary information to execute an instance of the second virtual space, wherein the first virtual space is of a type comprising one or more of a two-dimensional space, a three-dimensional space, a social space, a first-person space, a third-person space, an action gaming space, a role-playing space, a real-time space, or a turn-based space, and wherein the second virtual space is of a different type than the first virtual space;
• a view module that implements the instance of the first virtual space to determine a view of the first virtual space, and generates view information that describes the view of the first virtual space for transmission to a client that generates a display of the view of the first virtual space for a user by assembling the view information, wherein the view module further implements the instance of the second virtual space to determine a view of the second virtual space, and generates view information that describes the view of the second virtual space for transmission to the client that generates a display of the view of the second virtual space for the user;
• and
• a character module that receives information related to a first character associated with the user from information storage that is located remotely from the client, wherein the information received by the character module enables the instantiation module to manifest the first character within the first virtual space executed by the instantiation module such that the first character is controllable by the user via the client, wherein the character module further receives secondary information related to a second character associated with the user from information storage, wherein the secondary information enables the instantiation module to manifest the second character within the second virtual space, and wherein at least a portion of the information related to the first character is persistent between the first virtual space and the second virtual space.
