Abstract:
External notifications of events that take place within a virtual space may be provided to users. External notifications may be sent, for example, via email, text message, instant message (external from the virtual space), push notification and/or through other external communication media. These external notifications may be generated based on parameters, such as user parameters, event parameters, and/or other parameters. The parameters may include one or more parameters that are dynamic and/or one or more parameters that are static. The notifications may include incentive offers. The incentive offers may include offers of virtual items within the virtual space. The incentive offers may require a response to the notification for redemption. The incentive offers may enhance engagement with the virtual space by users.

Claim (Index 9):
A computer-implemented method of providing external notifications of events that take place within a virtual space, the method being implemented in one or more physical processors, the method comprising:\n executing an instance of a virtual space; implementing the instance of the virtual space to facilitate participation by users in a game within the space by facilitating presentation of views of the virtual space to the users by the client computing platforms, wherein the users participate in the game by controlling one or more entities within the virtual space, and wherein the users comprise a first user that controls a first entity within the virtual space; managing user accounts associated with individual users, wherein the user accounts include a first user account associated with the first user, wherein the first user account includes a first set of user parameters related to the first user; responsive to the occurrence of a first trigger event in the virtual space that impacts the first entity, identifying the first trigger event and identifying the first user as a user associated with the first trigger event; responsive to the occurrence of a first trigger event in the virtual space that impacts the first entity, determining a first incentive offer for inclusion in a first notification to the first user, wherein the first incentive offer includes an offer for purchase by the first user of one or more virtual items, wherein the determination of the one or more virtual items is based on the first trigger event, such that the first incentive offer includes a first virtual item that is contextual with the first trigger event; responsive to identification of the first trigger event, determining whether the first notification of the first trigger event should be transmitted to the first user based on at least one user parameter from the first set of user parameters; and responsive to determining that the first notification should be transmitted to the first user, transmitting the first notification including the first incentive offer to the first user via a first electronic communication medium that is external to the virtual space.
