OnlineWelten News zum Onlinespiel Planet Calypso

Gamespot berichtet über einen neuen Rekord im MMOG Projekt Entropia: 100.000 US Dollar wurden für virtuelle Güter bezahlt. Schon einmal hat ein Spieler über 25.000 US Dollar für eine virtuelle Insel in Projekt Entropia ausgegeben, und anschliessend gewinnbringend in einzelnen Teilen verkauft.

Project Entropia orbiting resort goes to highest bidder; owner gets virtual terrain, taxation, and hunting rights. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, as it has come to be known, prevents governments from claiming heavenly bodies, but it makes no mention of the private individual. This resulted in several "organizations" selling deeds for lunar property for as little as $29.99. In the "one small step for man, one giant leap for insanity" department, some space property has just sold for $100,000. However, this property isn't only in outer space: It's in cyberspace.
