Abstract
System communications tailored to individual users may be dynamically provided based on monitored types of user activity in a virtual space. A given system communication may include one or more of a third-party advertisement, an offer for in-space products, an offer in-space services, an informative message, and/or other system communications. Monitored types of user activity include registering as a user, establishing a relationship with another user, and customizing a user character. Responsive to such activity, information is obtained regarding an amount of real-world money the user has spent and the total time spent by the user during gameplay. This information is used to select system communications. System communications may be provided for presentation to users via one or more communication channels.
