Last week I had a chat to Oliver from Forbes about the business I have running inside Entropia, as part of a story he was writing about "Extravagant And Outrageous Virtual Goods."
The conversation went well and covered a wide range of topics covering how the business operates, how things have changed over time, comparisons to real world investment options, security of the virtual world, and the skills I've learned over the years.
It was actually one of the most interesting interviews I've had
It was distilled into his article titled:
The World's Most Expensive Island--Online
Additionally the original story was turned into a slideshow:
Extravagant And Outrageous Virtual Goods
The slideshow includes the other major Calypso properties and items from other online games, some of which I've seen before, and some I haven't.
It's interesting to see that the business empires (corporate or not) in Second Life didn't get any coverage, although an item did - perhaps this hints at the different ways the virtual worlds are perceived.
