Fight the Robots and Earn 3 for 1 Skill Bonus in Virtual MMORPG World Entropia Universe
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, December 11 / MARKET WIRE/ --
MindArk PE AB, developer of the Entropia
Universe Virtual World Platform, today announced that during the ongoing
robot war, all existing and new users will receive three times the normal
amount of skill experience points for all avatar professions in Entropia
Universe until December 22nd.
Avatars within Entropia Universe can choose to develop over one hundred
different skills ranging from combat and construction through tailoring and
beauty related skills. Greater skills allow avatars to successfully perform
more difficult tasks within the virtual universe. Every participant will
receive three times the normal amount of skill experience gains during this
period. The bonus will be in effect for all professions, during all
activities throughout planet Calypso, Crystal Palace and Club Neverdie for
this period.
Entropia's real cash economy, which has its virtual PED currency pegged at
10:1 with the US dollar, allows users to extract and trade skill experience
points with other users for real cash. The real economy, in combination
with the vastness of the universe, creates the need for many avatars to
have specialized professions in order to remain competitive in its dynamic
market. Over $400 million in user-to-user transactions were conducted
within the virtual universe during 2007.
The Entropia Universe software is free to download from
www.entropiauniverse.com and has no monthly subscription fees.
