Three malls sell for $180,000 in Entropia UniverseEntropia Universe continues to baffle. The virtual world just closed an auction of three “prestigious” shopping malls, which brought a total of US$179,666 in PED, their virtual currency, which is fixed at 10 to the US dollar. Bids had started at PED1 just a few days ago, if I understand the situation correctly. They were won by two Entropia players: Onkel RobRoy Bob took the Twin Peaks and Emerald Lakes malls for PED350,004 and PED746,007 respectively, while the Port Atlantis mall went to Epsilon Eps Vaz for PED700,667. I’d be interested to know whether this was money these players earned in Entropia or bought with real-world currency. Can a virtual shopping mall really make back that kind of investment? Well, they do each come with space for 36 shops and three Trade Centers, as well as rooftop spacecraft landing pads (pictured) “for future use.” More details on how all this works would be welcome, if any Entropians are reading this.
