The change brought about by virtual collaboration is only beginning to be understood. Join us for a unique look inside the merging of real and virtual economies via one of the most fascinating virtual worlds today—Entropia Universe. Launched in 2003, the free-to-play Entropia has a user base of over 800,000 users today, generating over $400 million USD in-game turnover in the economy. In 2007, Entropia was chosen by the Beijing Municipal People's Government as the platform of development for the Chinese "Cyber Recreation Development Corp" (CRD). The project will create a cash-based virtual economy for China that encompasses business-to-business transactions and other sophisticated economic models. The Entropia world is being deployed this year using the CryEngine 2, which will deliver stunning graphical experiences not yet seen on a wide scale on the web. On nearly every level, Entropia Universe is leading in virtual world innovation, while extending the reach of the experiences from the game directly to real-world ATM's.
