SEE VIRTUAL WORLDS(TM) TEAMS WITH THE ESTATE OF MICHAEL JACKSON TO PUBLISH ONLINE
VIRTUAL WORLD, PLANET MICHAEL(TM)
Immense Game World to be Themed Around This Planet's Biggest Star; Will Feature
Real-World Economy Along With Opportunities to Learn About and Contribute to Charitable
Causes
LOS ANGELES - Sept. 21, 2010 - SEE Virtual Worlds(TM), an entertainment company
developing a virtual reality universe of connected planets tied to licensed franchises,
today announced a collaborative deal with the Michael Jackson Estate to publish
Planet Michael(TM), a massively multiplayer online virtual world set to launch in
late 2011. Planet Michael will offer fans around the globe an innovative, first-of-its-kind
interactive gaming and social experience that truly celebrates Michael Jackson's
extraordinary life as an artist and humanitarian.
The new planet, currently under development and slated for launch next year, will
be an immersive virtual space themed after iconic visuals drawn from Michael's music,
his life and the global issues that concerned him. Entire continents will be created
that will celebrate Michael's unique genius in a way that underscores his place
as the greatest artist of all time. Michael's longtime fans will feel at home as
they find themselves in places that seem familiar and yet unknown at the same time,
and new generations will discover and experience Michael's life in a way never before
imagined. At its core, Planet Michael is a massive social gaming experience that
will allow everyone, from the hardcore fan to the novice, to connect and engage
in collaborative in-game activities with people worldwide.
Planet Michael is one of the first themed-planets that will be published by SEE
Virtual Worlds for the Entropia Universe, a vast dynamic 3D environment created
and provided to end users by MindArk PE AB. The Entropia Universe features several
existing planets and combines a revolutionary cash economy with cutting-edge graphics.
Although Planet Michael is a free-to-download world without monthly subscription
fees, the real world in-game economy features gameplay monetization that allows
players to take on dozens of different occupations and in certain instances, contribute
to a charitable cause at the same time.
"When we first approached the Estate and talked about creating Planet Michael, one
of our primary goals wasto build an interactive environment where fans from all
over the world come together to affirm Michael's life-long dedication to fostering
global friendships," said Martin Biallas, CEO of SEE Virtual Worlds. "In building
a space worthy of those global connections, we envisioned a magical, enjoyable place
that will capture that zest for fun and life that was at Michael's very core. Throughout
his extensive career, the King of Pop was well-known for his visionary contributions
to music, dance, fashion, entertainment and philanthropy, and it was critical that
we somehow incorporate all of those elements into the game."
"No artist unified the world like Michael Jackson, so it is fitting that in Planet
Michael his fans will be able to join together in such a unique way online to celebrate
his music, his artistry and his devotion to helping those in need," said John Branca,
co-executor for The Estate of Michael Jackson. "Michael was always exploring creative
new ways technology could enhance the experiences of his fans, and for that reason
we are thrilled to be working with SEE Virtual Worlds to build a global interactive
experience that befits an artist as innovative as Michael Jackson," added John McClain,
co-executor of the Estate.

WTF?
Entropia is still around? I remember getting into the beta for that like 10 years ago.
You couldn't pay me enough to be a GM when this goes live.
In some form, yes, though I don't see anything on their website that even remotely resembles the Project Entropia I remember sucking back before WoW came out. I hadn't heard anything about it in forever, but looking at their site, apparently they've started expanding the game with themed planets like, "Rocktropia, the World of Music," and "Next Island, the tropical utopia of time travel!" Quotes are copy/paste.
*head asplode*
Ah yes that was the name project entropia. I wonder how it ended up morphing to what it is today. I got in the closed beta but it both ran and looked horrible on my pc at the time.
