Abstract
Generally disclosed herein is an approach for enabling a substitute user to continue from the original user's saved participation state when the original user left an online multi-user event. The original user's state may be stored as a token. The stored token may be generated based on a plurality of parameters including, but not limited to, the user's role, achievement, skills, and position. The stored token may be sent with an invitation to multiple prospective substitute users. One of the prospective substitute users may accept the invitation by downloading the token. The accepted prospective substitute user may participate in the online multi-user event continuing from the original user's saved state.
