Abstract

A method and apparatus that registers a user's lot in a vitual world having a plurality of user lots. In certain embodiments, the user may optionally define where in the virtual world he would like to place his lot. The server determines whether the user has permission to determine his lot location. If the user has this permission and the desired lot location is available to this user, then the server registers the user's lot and places it in the user's desired location in the virtual world according to a variety of schemes. If the user does not indicate a desired lot location, the server places the new lot in a next available lot location in the virtual world.
