Abstract
A system and method for facilitating user voting for potential future game content in an online game are disclosed. Multiple sets of the potential future game content may be presented to users for voting. A user vote for a given set of the potential future game content may cost an amount of voting power associated with the user. The user may earn voting power by engaging in gameplays, making in-game purchases, and/or undertaking any other game-related actions desired by the provider(s) of the online game. A set of potential future game content may be selected based on votes received from the users. In some examples, rewards may be determined for distribution to the users based on the voting for the potential future game content.
