proj entropiaAlmost a year after opening the virtual resort Club NEVERDIE, champion gamer-turned-entrepreneur Jon Jacobs is back to gladly report on the success of his business venture.

According to Jacobs, his virtual resort raked in a gross of $100,000 USD in the first eight months of operation alone. "It's a tremendous vindication to reach the break-even mark so fast; very few people really believed a turnkey virtual business inside an MMORPG could do these kind of numbers, but the dynamic real cash economy in Entropia Universe is extremely conducive for operating a business or developing a trade; however, once you have the tools or skills it's really up to the individual to serve the community and develop the business. It's definitely work, but since it exists within a Video Game style world, I'm in my element," says Neverdie.

Having a virtual net worth at an estimated $1 million plus, Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs is unsurprisingly one of the most high-profile Entropia citizens for over three years. Entropia Universe is the only virtual gaming community that actively supports sales of virtual products with actual cash value within its real economy system. The economy offers the user a secure and safe way to make purchases, sales, and exchange real life currency into PED (Project Entropia Dollars) and back again into real money via the real world ATM system, at a fixed exchange rate to the US dollar. The Entropia Universe turnover back in 2005 was an estimated $165,000,000 US.

Club NEVERDIE is located within the Entropia Universe and is a registered trademark of Jon Jacobs. You can visit it via spaceship from the planet calypso or new accounts can be spawned directly at the resort by downloading the Entropia Universe client.
