Insanity? Virtual space station auctioned off for $330,000 in real money

January 4, 2010 | Dean Takahashi | Comments | Share

Sold: One virtual space station for $330,000 in real money. It may sound insane, but the buyers and sellers here clearly believe theres gold in the virtual world of Planet Calypso.

The virtual space station was built by The First Planet Company, a part of MindArk, a Swedish online virtual world maker that operates the Project Entropia Universe, which includes Planet Calypso. A player going by the name of Buzz Erik Lightyear paid 3.3 million Project Entropia Dollars for the Crystal Palace, a fully functional space station. Project Entropia Dollars can be exchanged for real money at an exchange rate of 10 to 1.

The purchase isnt without precedent, as noted by Fatfoogoos blog. In 2004, David Storey paid $26,500 for a plot of undeveloped land in Project Entropia. And in 2005, Jon Jacobs spent $100,000 on a virtual night club inside Project Entropia. Theres some real investor speculation going on here, backed by real money. Weve noted that MindArks central bank has been officially sanctioned by the government of Sweden.

The 10-year-old Entropia platform has been developed over the past decade at a cost of $40 million. It was launched in 2003. The Planet Calypso world within the universe has been generating a profit since 2004 and has more than 820,000 registered users in 200 countries. The user-to-user transactions within Entropia Universe exceeded $420 million in 2008.

This may be another indicator of the rise of the virtual goods business model, where players play an online game for free but pay for the digital objects inside it. Players can buy and sell goods inside the worlds, giving them a chance to make real money. Hence, Lightyears purchase might not look so crazy a few years from now, if the Project Entropia Universe continues to grow. Lightyear, if he so chooses, can operate a business on the space station, which is depicted in the video below.

Virtual property booms Written by Nick Farrell Monday, 04 January 2010 09:47

Bloke pays $330,000 for a fully-equipped space station

While the US property market is still down the gurgler, its virtual version is doing quite well.

A buyer named "Buzz Erik Lightyear" just paid $330,000 for a space station that has multiple biodomes packed with exciting hunting opportunities, a thriving bar, and extensive shopping and reincarnation facilities.

The "space station" is a location in the game world of Project Entropia, an online game released in 2003 which encourages players to exchange real money for in-game currency and objects. Crystal Palace, as it's called, was sold to Lightyear after a competitive auction, for $330,000. Lightyear hopes to make his money back by taxing players who visit it, shop there, or use its extensive hunting facilities.

We understand that similar projects have worked quite well in the past and Lightyear's virtual girlfriend is supposed to be over the moon at the idea.

Quite how such purchases have managed to become recession proof is anyone's guess.

Record $330k buys Planet Calypso virtual space station

Score another record for Sweden based virtual world developer MindArk. The First Planet Company, a part of MindArk, and creators and developers of Planet Calypso set out last year to put one of its biggest offerings to date up on the auction block: a fully functional (virtual) space station. The final selling price? 3.3 million PED Project Entropia Dollars, with an exchange rate of 10:1, making the real world price a staggering $330,000.

The winner is one Buzz Erik Lightyear. Buzz now holds the property rights to Crystal Palace inside the Planet Calypso world. Granted, a $330k purchase for a virtual property might seem a bit steep to some, as this purchase has raised the bar substantially on private investments in virtual properties, but its not without precedent. Back in 2004, David Storey paid $26,500 for a virtual plot of undeveloped land in Project Entropia, while a year later Jon Jacobs dropped $100k on a Project Entropia virtual resort. And lets not forget about Anshe Chung becoming a real life millionaire via Second Life in 2006.

2009 saw the rise of free-to-play gaming, and a multitude of monetization options. Microtransactions, virtual offers, etc., weve seen quite a bit of activity in the sector as of late. With this said, its almost a bit surprising to see Mashable author Ben Parr baffled by the sale. Yes, its a bit off the beaten path, but given the staggering amounts of revenue social gaming companies such as Zynga are pulling down each month, is it really so unreasonable to treat virtual properties as real world investments? Yes, there are a million and a half unforeseeable variables that could turn your virtual investment into bunk over night.but isnt that the case with any real world investment? As a point of comparison, we hear about venture capitalists dropping massive amounts of cash into new media companies or web or app development firms. These are physical real world investments, but they (more or less) operate on the same platform all tied to a platform that arguably does or does not exist. With that said, given the economic climate, whos to say that a real world investment is more concrete than a virtual one? Whos to say the virtual investment isnt the safer bet?

Lightyear could be poised to make a killing. Planet Calypso boasts the worlds largest virtual economy, and Buzz now has dibs on one of the biggest, and after the sale, most probably one of the most popular destinations for Planet Calypso players. Within his virtual world within a virtual world, Buzz has complete control over tax rates, what will be sold, to whom, and at what price. With an investment of this size, its a forgone conclusion that Lightyear probably already has a virtual world business model in place, and perhaps a team in place to capitalize on the new real estate. If Eriks investment in Crystal Palace is a success, I wouldnt be surprised to see a small niche crop of investors that would be willing to take the same leap. If this is the case, the backburner secondary, or player-to-player, market could see a massive surge in popularity.

"Entropia Universe" is a very different sort of video games, their alternative is that it is a "Real Cash conomy" online games, which means "Entropia niverse" is the first in the history of the real world trading currency and virtual worlds with each other to combine online games. Game currency, called "Project Entropia Dollars", referred to as PED, and the most attractive to a player's location is 10 PED = 1US, that is, for every 10 games currency can be exchange for 1 dollar. Therefore, every kind of game which items are valuable, but also why, "Entropia Universe" has created one after another virtual goods transactions.

December 14, 2004, "Entropia Universe" successfully sold the first piece of the virtual world islands, one named Zachurm "Deathifier" Emegen players with 265,000 PED (converted to 26.5 thousand U.S. dollars, accounting for about 850,000 yuan NT) bought while creating a virtual goods transactions.

Recently, a player called Buzz Erik Lightyear, breaking the previous record, to 3.3 million PED (converted to 33 million U.S. dollars, about 10.5 million yuan NT) bought one called the Crystal Palace (Crystal Palace) of the space station, It sounds crazy, but the buyers said the space station worth this much money, and great investment value.

For this reason, many people have come to "Entropia Universe" Gold Rush, but the real people who earn very little money, including purchase Asteroid Space Resort (asteroid space resort) and Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs, he was operated Resort 8 months after the success of a profit of 10,000 U.S. dollars; another one from a Colorado high school students, the success of "Entropia Universe" earn 1000 U.S. dollars, and used the money for the brothers and sisters to college. However, he recalls: "We started playing when it is very difficult, because you are penniless."

Entropia Universe player buys space station for $ 300,000!

What to do if you simply have too many gold ducats in the treasure chest? They might be buried on a mysterious island, or maybe even donate to charity? Or perhaps you would prefer to squander, for example in a new-fangled MMORPG?

While in the top dog World of Warcraft For example, a legal change of real money into virtual in-game currency is not desirable, this is possible in other online games, and even wanted an elementary component of a fictitious economy. In the now seven years old sci-fi MMOG Entropia Universe There is an exact price at which you cash in the currency PED exchange can. The PED can be included stints at the title new items, but also entire buildings to purchase and obtain thereby further advantages. As far as all this is nothing extraordinary, but took care of the users Buzz "Erik" Light year Recently a stir. Because he bought for 3,300,000 PED the game object "Crystal Palace".

In Game Apartment Bought With Real Money
Leave a comment
Posted January 3, 2010 by Benjamin Blank in News, PC.

The immersion some games can give you is intense. Spending hours on end putting more effort into a video game than youd dare work or a relationship. Its not long before you get to a point when these things become far more important than they should be. More important than real world currency for some. And for one man it was $330,000 that bought him his perfect video game apartment.

The game in question is MMO Planet Calypso and it was player Buzz Erik Lightyear who laid down the money to own the in-game hub Crystal Palace. The hub was actually bought with in-game currency for 3.3 million Project Entropia Dollars. However, it was the Project Entropia Dollars that cost him 330,000 real world dollars. Real world money as in money that buys you food to stay alive.

Although its easy to point the finger and laugh at Mr. Erik. The fact it costs players in game money to shop and visit his hub itll probably be him laughing soon enough once he converts his earnings back into real money. Although that might not be for some time yet, and anyway its not as bad as buying coins on Farmville.

The game uses a currency called DCs that is acquired in exchange for real money: 10 DCs are worth $ 1. This space station, called Crystal Palace, was auctioned, and the fan whose name is in the game Buzz Erik Light year has acquired 3,300,000 DCs.

This player has stated that "really eager to win this auction," and assured that it will be virtual ownership of a very active player and a veteran "who loves this game, and not just an investor.

Of course, this really is a business: the space station can organize hunts to participate in online multiplayer, which can charge whatever it thinks fit, in DCs, which then may be converted into real money.
