Anshe Expands Empire to Entropia
Anshe Chung, the much-vilified virtual estate business owner, has purchased a banking license in the MMO Entropia Universe. This means that she will be able to take advantage of the real economy Entropia contains, which makes its money from the depreciation its goods experience over time as they're sold back to other users. Among the other four new license owners is Jon Jacobs, previously heralded for his $100,000 purchase of a space station.
Anshe is obviously a shrewd businessperson to have climbed to the top of the hill in SL alone; now's her chance to prove her mettle in a completely different universe.

(Page 1)2. I wish Anshe all the best, but after playing Entropia Universe for several months I just got tired of the economic model. It's essentially just a casino run by Mind Ark in which you develop pointless skills and spend too much time mining, hunting, manufacturing etc for no return (generally at a loss). Much nicer graphics than SL of course, but not a place I would invest my hard-earned cash in.

1. I think that's an big mistakes for her... I've been there, it's not great as SL. It shouldn't take too long for her to realize it's not working as she would hope for. I'm betting on no more than 4 months.
