A Practical World Bar Is Sole For A Record Amount

A gamer who done headlines when he paid for a practical asteroid for $100,000 (56,200) in 2005 has sole it for $635,000 (395,000).

It is a new world record is to sale of a practical object.

British "virtual entrepreneur" Jon Jacobs had been working the asteroid as a bar called Neverdie inside of practical reality role-playing stage Entropia Universe.

It had been generating a annual distinction of around 125,000 a year, he said.

The sale could give new procedure to the practical economy.

Millionaires

So-called massively multi-player online purpose personification games (MMORPG) have been working practical economies for years.

In Mar 2009 Entropia Universe was postulated a looseness to run as a bank.

Last year the Crystal Space Station, moreover inside of the Entropia Universe, was paid for for $333,000 (205,000).

There are lessons is to increasingly renouned unintentional games, such as Facebook's Farmville, thinks Mr Jacobs.

"As shortly as the Facebook era arise up and welcome practical reality, you are going to see a hulk call of practical world millionaires," he predicted.
