NeverDie and Anshe Chung launch the Virtual Worlds Academy |
Two of the online millionaires from Second Life (Anshe Chung) and Entropia Universe (NeverDie) have teamed up to launch the Virtual Worlds Academy. This Academy is said to help in the promotion of the creative community by recognizing various achievements in different fields such as virtual artistry, technology, commerce and culture.
The first project they will be implementing upon its launch is the Virtual World Awards. The awards is slated to be an annual event which recognizes excellence and originality in virtual reality. Various awards will be given to those who have contributed to the evolution of these online worlds. Another feature of the event is the induction of various "industry icons" into a virtual hall of fame.
NeverDie spoke about the said awards saying that "the Virtual World Awards are designed to honor the creativity that people bring to this booming universe. As the online community develops we think itÂ’s essential to document its history and its forefathers."

This is an interesting and exciting development.
However, I'm not trying to be too cynical here regarding PR hype, but since when did reporting a gross profit of 0,000 USD over two years make anyone a "millionaire"?
This implies that Neverdie earns around k USD per year, or £37,500 GBP, from his investments in Entropia.
PED millionaire, now that's more likely...
It apperas that the website doesn't like dollar symbols.
Read 150,000 USD gross profit, or 75k USD per year, above.
