Abstract
A virtual game world may have game locations based on electronic devices with communications capabilities. In some embodiments electronic devices with communications capabilities are identified to a server, which forms a game location for the identified devices, or at least some of them. The game locations may have non-player controlled game characters as inhabitants of the game locations. One or more characteristics of the inhabitants of a game location may be based on an aspect relating to the electronic device with communication capability with which the game location is associated.
