I have been up to my eyes in work therefore not much to write about and not much going on with me but you could check out the photos I have taken this week by clicking HERE! Anyway on with the show, I think this is so cool, check it out:
A gamer has paid $100,000 for a virtual space resort in the massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Project Entropia. Mindark, the Swedish developer of the game, sold off the 'real estate' in a 3-day auction.
Project Entropia, is available as a free download and relies on the sales of virtual goods for real world currencies. The game sells tools and weapons that players use in the game for Project Entropia Dollars (PEDs). One US dollar equals 10 PEDs. Items such as a 'Lesser Teleport Chip' go for 40.59 PEDs and a 'GarcenLubricant' costs 24.39 PEDs.
The $100,000 sale of the space real estate beats the game's previous record of $26,500 for a virtual island. The space station comes with a 1,000 unit apartment complex, a shopping mall, sports stadium and night club.
Project Entropia claims to have had registered 299,359 players since its inception in 2002. They have created a collective economy of $150m so far this year, the game's maker claims.
The clocks change and I can help you all remember whether you add or subtract the hour:
We Spring forward in the Spring (+1 hour), and we Fall (i.e. American autumn) backwards in the Autumn (-1 hour).
