Abstract
A system and method for making progress of a user character obtained in an online game via a non-virtual reality interface available in a virtual reality interface. The online game may be played via multiple platforms including virtual reality platforms and non-virtual reality platforms. The actions available to be performed by users via the non-virtual reality platforms may be limited compared to the actions available to be performed via the virtual reality platforms. Gameplay progress made by a user through actions requested via a non-virtual reality platform may be monitored. An amount of a virtual resource may be awarded based on the progress, and/or exchanged for an enhancement of an ability for a virtual character controlled by the user in the online game. The ability may be enhanced such that the enhancement is reflected in the online game via the virtual reality platform.
