Virtual Egg for an a stunning $69,696.00 USD. This comes on the heels of the
Crystal Palace Station's recent sale for a record-breaking $330,000.00 USD.

Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs held a public auction Sunday, inside Planet
Calypso, and sold the Virtual Egg to David Storey aka Deathifier. Deathifier
owns "Treasure Island" in the game, a tax generating Virtual World
Destination. NEVERDIE purchased the Virtual Egg for $10,000 USD in 2006 from
a gamer who completed a unique quest. The Final Chapter in the Egg's History
has yet to be written as thousands of players speculate what will actually
hatch from the it and if it will be worth the extraordinary price tag.

Deathifier purchased "Treasure Island" with hunting and mineral Rights in
2004 for $27,500 USD and reportedly earned his investment back within the
year. NEVERDIE mortgaged his home in Miami in 2005 to purchase an Asteroid
for $100,000 USD. NEVERDIE turned the Asteroid into a NightClub dubbed Club
NEVERDIE, which is now valued at over $1 million USD. NEVERDIE and Deathifier
have both been featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for their
astounding Virtual Transactions.

unique world and economy we offer in our game. While you don't need thousands
of dollars, or even tens of dollars to play Planet Calypso, it's sales like
these that truly separate our virtual world from any other on the planet,"
said Marco Behrmann, CEO of First Planet Company. "We are introducing a new
quest system soon and the epicprice tag of this Egg, which was a quest
treasure itself, will energize a new generation of virtual pioneers looking
to make their mark."
