System and method for providing recognized offline modification of a virtual asset
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for providing recognized offline modification of a virtual asset, comprising:
- a database, comprising;
at least one virtual asset comprising parameters that each have intrinsic significance within a virtual environment defined exclusively by a central server; and
qualitative rules comprising characteristics of the parameters of the virtual asset;
storage media offline from the central server, comprising;
a copy of the virtual asset; and
proposed changes to at least one of the parameters of the virtual asset applied by a client application and stored on the storage media; and
an asset authority, comprisingan authentication module authenticating the virtual asset on behalf of the central server; and
an evaluation module evaluating each proposed change, when authenticated, against the characteristics of the parameters as defined in the qualitative rules,wherein only those proposed changes that are satisfactory are accepted.

Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for providing recognized offline modification of a virtual asset are provided. A virtual asset that includes parameters that each have intrinsic significance within a virtual environment defined exclusively by a central server is identified. Qualitative rules including characteristics of the parameters are defined. The virtual asset is stored on storage media offline from the central server. Proposed changes to at least one of the parameters of the virtual asset applied by a client application are maintained and are stored on the storage media The virtual asset is authenticated on behalf of the central server through an asset authority. When authenticated, each proposed change is evaluated against the characteristics of the parameters as defined in the qualitative rules and only those proposed changes that are satisfactory are accepted.
