selectparks - Virtual Land Grab Gains Entropy

The bid for 'Treasure Island', the lucrative lifestyle block from Project Entropia, has finally closed at USD26,500.

From the press release:

A large island off a newly discovered continent surrounded by deep creature infested waters. The island boasts beautiful beaches ripe for developing beachfront property, an old volcano with rumors of fierce creatures within, the outback is overrun with mutants, and an area with a high concentration of robotic miners guarded by heavily armed assault robots indicates interesting mining opportunities.

It sounds like it'll be hard to keep the gardener alive. Regardless, it's obviously a great little 'mid-term investment', and a hell of alot more fun than the corporeal market: "Perfect as is or to build on. New kitchen,bathroom, fresh paint. Great holiday home or permanent living, fabulous outdoor living. 7 minutes from Town by Retirement Road, share access driveway to beach and boat ramp." Yawn..
