Abstract:
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to increasing an attribute of a virtual item type in a virtual space. Users, having virtual item instances of a virtual item, may be presented with an offer to increase a performance level of virtual item instances of the virtual item as a group in exchange for pooled consideration from the users as a group. The performance level of the virtual item instances of the virtual item may be increased as a group in exchange for the users, as a group, tendering the pooled consideration.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for increasing an attribute of a virtual item in an online game, the method being implemented in system including one or more computer physical processors and storage media storing machine readable instructions, the method comprising:\n executing an instance of an online game and to facilitate presentation of views of a game space in which the online game is played to users, and to enable interaction of the users with the online game and/or each other by performing operations in the game space in response to commands received from the users managing instances of virtual items usable by users in the online game; managing user accounts of users wherein the user accounts include inventories of virtual items useable in the online game by the users, the user accounts including:\n a first user account having a first inventory for the first user, the first inventory indicating that the first user has a first virtual item instance of a first virtual item for use in the online game; and, \n a second user account having a second inventory, the second inventory for the second user indicating that the second user has a second virtual item instance of the first virtual item for use in the online game; \n facilitate presentation of an offer to users to adjust an attribute of virtual item instances of the virtual item as a group in exchange for pooled consideration from multiple ones of the users, such that a first offer is presented to the first user and the second user to adjust attributes of the first virtual item instance of the first virtual item and the second virtual item instance of the first virtual item; and responsive to receiving the pooled consideration from the multiple ones of the users, adjusting the attributes of the virtual item instances of the virtual item for the multiple ones of the users, such that the first virtual item instance and the second virtual item instance of the first virtual item are adjusted for the first user and the second user in exchange for the first user and the second user tendering an amount of pooled consideration, wherein such adjustment results in a change of the attribute of the first virtual item instance and the second virtual item instance.
