First Planet Company, has announced another remarkable in-game real money investment record on Planet Calypso MMO.
Some of you would remember, back in 2004, “Treasure Island” was bought for $26,500 USD (10 ped=1 USD in Planet Calypso currency) by David “Deathfier”. In 2005, Jon “NEVERDIE” Jacobs bought an Asteroid Space Resort with a total cost of $100.000 USD. Last year, Erik “Buzz Lightyear” Novak purchased Crystal Palace, a popular hunting destination orbiting around Planet Calypso, for $330.000 USD. Sounds astounding, right? In fact it is.
Now, the property purchased by Jon Jacobs in 2005, known as Club NEVERDIE, “has been broken up into smaller portions and sold off to new investors. The total purchase price for the parcels was $635,000.00 USD giving its original owner a stunning ROI of 535% in just five years”, as stated on the press release.
Have you ever thought of becoming a virtual world investor? Do you see the MMO “life” as a pure method of entertainment or are you willing to spend your free time, investing in virtual goods?
