MIAMI, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 7, 2006 -- Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs, the famed gamer who purchased a virtual space resort for a record-breaking $100,000 US dollars in late 2005 , today announced that he will hold the first-ever live "virtual" wedding between two "real-world" individuals within the online gaming community, Entropia Universe. Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs will exchange vows with his bride to be, pop-singer Cheri "Sheba" London, on Wednesday, June 7th at 5pm EDT.

The wedding will take place in the Club Neverdie resort on the surface of an asteroid, with hundreds of gamers around the world expected to "virtually" attend. The avatars of the wedding party, including the Minister, will be communicating vows and discussions inside Entropia Universe via the virtual chat interface. The ceremony will be performed simultaneously in the "real-world" home of the groom, Miami FL, by Reverend Dr. Kenneth E. Claus.

"We are excited to utilize Entropia Universe as an added platform in which to reach many friends and family that cannot make it out to the physical ceremony in Miami," says Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs. "Entropia Universe and Club Neverdie have been the backbone of my creative business endeavors for several years now and has become a sort of second home through the various friends and relationships I have made. Thus, it only made sense for me to not only have my special day in the real-world, but within the 'virtual' world as well."

Club Neverdie is the virtual space resort which was purchased for a record-breaking $100,000 US dollars in late 2005, by gamer Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs. The complete resort is a turnkey business boasting several profitable assets such as a 1,000 apartment complex, 20 hunting biodomes, commercial space ship dock, themed shopping mall, and a mega stadium for championship sporting events. These facets allow for multiple means of profit by charging mining/hunting fees, selling real estate, retail sales fees, allocating transportation/docking fees, developing marketing/advertising fees for placements in the resort, and more.

Entropia Universe is the only virtual gaming community that actively supports sales of virtual products with actual cash value within its real economy system. The economy offers the user a secure and safe way to make purchases, sales and exchange real life currency into PED (Project Entropia Dollars) and back again into real money via the real world ATM system, at a fixed exchange rate to the US Dollar. PED allows members to invest in personal development and growth through the acquisition of goods, buildings, and land in the virtual universe. In 2005, the Entropia Universe turnover was an estimated $165,000,000 US Dollars.

The heart of Entropia Universe lies in a distant planet named Calypso, encompassing two continents with large expanding cities that offer a variety of entertainment and social interaction for its citizens. Members of Entropia can create their own persona (avatar) via a character generation system, then having the option of choosing a suitable life and virtual existence for their avatar. Characters are able to enter the evolving world full of unexplored and uncultivated lands where they can join a community or even create a civilization of their own. Entropia Universe offers a new way for individuals to pursue dreams and fantasies through an adventurous virtual experience.
