1. A system configured to maintain time fidelity for an instance of a virtual space placed in a background state, the system comprising: one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: implement the instance of the virtual space to determine views of the virtual space, the instance being associated with one or more timers, wherein the virtual space has a state associated with the time provided by the one or more timers, wherein the one or more timers measure the passage of time in the virtual space at a first rate; determine an elapsed time while the instance of the virtual space is in a background state, the background state being a state in which user intervention with the instance of the virtual space is disallowed and the one or more timers measure the passage of time in the virtual space at a second rate different from the first rate; and adjust the one or more timers in response to the virtual space exiting the background state, the adjustment to the one or more timers being based on the elapsed time such that the one or more timers are adjusted to a time they would have had had they been running at the first rate over the elapsed time; wherein the the state of the virtual space is adjusted to correspond to the adjusted time of the one or more timers.
