Virtual Egg Sells for $10,000 USD

World Famous Gamer Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs, Owner of the Virtual Space Resort Club NEVERDIE in ENTROPIA UNIVERSE, Today Purchased a Unique Virtual Egg for $10,000 USD

MIAMI, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- July 20, 2006 -- The Unique Green Atrox Queen Egg was found last week by another gamer, Mc'Lap Tzest0s Alexan'ru, during a massive quest in Entropia Universe, the leading MMORPG with an RCE (real Cash Economy). The Unique Green Atrox Queen Egg was the final prize in a multi-part story quest, that tens of thousands of gamers participated in. At this time, the actual function of the Egg is still unknown and there has been much speculation on the forums as to its purpose and value. Tzest0s received a number of offers for the Atrox Queens Egg (http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31974), but controversial gamer NEVERDIE, who claims the title of the First Millionaire Gamer, outbid everyone with a 100,000 PED offer, equivalent to $10,000 USD. "The absurdity of paying $10,000 USD for a virtual egg is not lost on me," says NEVERDIE, "but in fact I'm confident it will prove to be a great investment. Club NEVERDIE is already the #1 privately owned entertainment venue in virtual reality, whatever hatches out of this thing is sure to prove a big draw to the Club."
