The 2008 Massive Multiplayer Online World Championships
Friday, November 23, 2007 will see the opening of this year's Massive Multiplayer Online World Championships (MMOWC), the first part of which will take place in Club NeverDie, which you'll recall was bought by Jon 'NeverDie' Jacobs as an investment, for $100,000. This year, the finals will be held in Miami, Florida, on Sunday, December 16. According to the press release, "Gamers who make it to the finals will have the option of an all expenses-paid weekend trip to South Beach, FL, where they will be filmed in a hot new reality show, hosted by superstar gamer NeverDie. The champion will win a land Area on Planet Calypso in the Entropia Universe worth more than $20,000 USD. The land area will feature hunting and mining taxation rights, which will provide the winner with a profitable real cash monthly income."
Sounds like NeverDie is making the most of his investment. I wonder if he'll offer the winner some low-APR bank loans as well?
(Note: Although the referring article consistently reads '2008' for the date, it's obviously going to be 2007)
