Abstract
Systems and methods to selectively generate user reminders for game conditions are described. In some embodiments, a method accesses a game condition identifier associated with a game condition for a user of an online game. The method further determines a value associated with the game condition identifier and determines that the user has not performed a particular action required with respect to the game condition based on the value of the game condition identifier. Additionally, the method determines whether to remind the user of the game condition. If so, a reminder associated with the game condition is generated and presented to the user. The reminder includes a user response interface that allows the user to indicate whether the user has performed the game condition. The game condition identifier is updated if a response received from the user indicates that the user has performed the game condition.
