Generating individual play bases in a virtual space using markup information

A method for generating individual player bases in a virtual space using markup information, the method being implemented in physical processors of a virtual space server, the physical processors being configured by machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:

• executing an instance of the virtual space in which an online game takes place, and implementing the instance of the virtual space to facilitate player participation in the online game via client computing platforms by transmitting space state information derived from the instance of the virtual space to the client computing platforms, wherein player participation includes performing activities within player bases within the virtual space, the activities including one or more of earning income, constructing buildings, recruiting and/or training troops, producing farming yields, harvesting resources, crafting virtual items and/or developing virtual skills;
• managing player accounts comprising player information associated with individual players, the player accounts including a first player account associated with a first player;
• obtaining player base markup files for the player bases, the obtained player base markup files being in a markup language format and defining individual bases associated with the players separate from other player information associated with individual players in the player account, the obtained player base markup files including a first player base markup file that defines a first base associated with the first player, the first player base markup file being separate from the other player information included in the first player account;
• generating player bases in the instance of the virtual space based on the player base markup files such that the first player base is generated in the instance of the virtual space based on the first player base markup file;
• deriving state information from the instance of the virtual space for transmission to the client computing platforms to facilitate user participation in the virtual space;
• formatting the state information for transmission to the client computing platforms to facilitate user participation in the virtual space;
• and
• initiating transmission of the state information to the client computing platforms to facilitate user participation in the virtual space.
