|
 |
MindArk, developer and publisher of the largest real money MMO, announced today that an investor acquired $2.5 Million Dollars (25 Million Project Entropia Dollars, PED) worth of land lot deeds on Planet Calypso. The land deeds, bought through the Citizenship system, allow revenue sharing to participants. Since the release of the Citizenship system in November almost all of the initial offerings of 60 thousand deeds have been acquired by participants with an annual ROI of approximately 27%.
When a player procures land deeds they are granted certain privileges, these include receiving a share in the Planet Partner gross revenue of Calypso, paid weekly. This means that those in the Citizenship system are directly profit sharing from the game itself. The land deeds are auctioned at a base price of $100 per deed and have mostly gone out one-by-one. However large monetary transactions are nothing new in Planet Calypso with one player paying $330,000 for a Virtual Space Station in 2010 which, at the time, set a world record.

I knew the guy who made the first big purchase it that, $25,000 for an island. We used to beta test games together. At the time he did that he was on track to get his money back within a year and everything was pure profit after that.

There was always a huge amount of money flowing thru Entriopia i dont think this is any special, in Project Entropia (Its old name, and different planet), guy bought a Huge asteroid and build there a ecosystem with buildings bars etc etc, for few mil $, and sayd that he will get 10% of all money that goes thru that sector, from buying/auctions/everything, now, hes rich as fuck both ingame and irl...
Thats how Entropia Universe works. Economy and world is owned by people and you can both exchange money from Game to Real world and from Real world to game.
PS: Dont try it yourself, you will not succeed without investing hundreds or thousands $ into the game and in few years.
