1. A system comprising:
a server computer which communicates with a plurality of remote computers, and is programmed to create signals that cause a display to be created on the remote computers, where the display creates a virtual world which displays multiple virtual pets associated with a user of a remote computer,
where the server computer allows the user to carry out a simulated breeding process between the virtual pets, by accepting a request from the user to carry out the breeding process between the virtual pets, and based on the request from the user to carry out the breeding process, to create a virtual offspring pet from the virtual pets, and to provide access to the virtual offspring pet to the user in the virtual world,
and where, some times, the server computer carries out the simulated breeding to provide a redemption code to the user, and at other times, the server computer carries out the simulated breeding without providing the redemption code to the user,
where the redemption code is redeemed for a physical item resembling the virtual offspring pet,
wherein each of the virtual pets has a set degree of rarity at creation of the virtual pet corresponding to its multiple different features, and a virtual offspring pet's different features obtained from the breeding process and resulting rarity of the different features is determined by each parent virtual pets' set degree of rarity along with the virtual offspring pet's own rarity, which results in a final rarity of the virtual offspring pet.
