Apparatus, method, and computer readable media to perform transactions in association with participants interacting in a synthetic environment

A system to facilitate transactions in association with a synthetic spatial environment, the system comprising:

• one or more memories configured to provide a memory space, portions of a synthetic spatial environment being associated with respective processes spaces of a common process space associated with the memory space;
• a transaction server associated with a processor configured to interact with the one or more memories, the transaction server comprising:
• a transaction manager configured to exchange game data between participants associated with the process spaces in the common process space;
• and
• a failsafe manager configured to execute an exchange of the game data between the participants,
• wherein the failsafe manager is further configured to:
• determine whether all parts of the exchange occurs, wherein the determining of whether all parts of the exchange occur comprises:
• confirm the exchanging of the game data by a first user relating to the first process and a second user relating to the second process;
• and
• verify whether the exchanging of the game data violates a rule, the rule including a specific amount of memory sufficient to store an acquired item exists, at least one participant relating to the first and second processes to be of a certain stature, or any combination thereof;
• and
• in the event that all parts of the exchange did not occur, nullify the exchange of the game data;
• wherein the synthetic environment is configured to be presented in association with a display device;
• and
• wherein the stature relates to an amount of experience in the synthetic environment or points related to the synthetic environment.

A non-transitory computer readable medium to facilitate transactions in massively multiplayer online games, the computer readable medium comprising executable instructions for execution by one or more processors to:

• associate portions of the synthetic spatial environment with respective first and second processes among the first and second game management servers;
• receive data representing a transaction request to perform a transaction between a first participant and a second participant associated with the respective first and second processes associated with the synthetic spatial environment;
• provide a common process space for the transaction aggregated from the first and second processes, wherein the providing of the common process space comprises:
• exchange game data related to the first process to the second game management server and game data related to the second process to the first game management server in the common process space;
• determine whether all parts of the updating operation occur;
• occur, wherein the determining of whether all parts of the updating operation occur comprises:
• confirm the exchanging of the game data by a first user relating to the first process and a second user relating to the second process;
• and
• verify whether the exchanging of the game data violates a rule, the rule including a specific amount of memory sufficient to store an acquired item exists, at least one participant relating to the first and second processes to be of a certain stature, or any combination thereof;
• and
• in the event that all parts of the updating operation did not occur, nullify the exchanging of the game data;
• and
• transact an exchange of a first subset of game data for the first participant and a second subset of the game data for a second participant,
• wherein the exchange of the first subset of the game data and the second subset of the game data between the first participant and the second participant occurs in the common process;
• and
• wherein the stature relates to an amount of experience in the synthetic environment or points related to the synthetic environment.
