Well... I'm thoroughly dissapointed that they covered all other MMO's and not Entropia apart from one small sequence of someone dancing at Willundsong!!!

I think its good if they ignore EU for a bit. If they notice us then they might ask we to pay tax and stuff :P

What MMO got the biggest mention?

and that surprises you? a world with ppl obsessed with paying 17k usd for some little pop cap gun and there is a mad rush to virtual stock? of course, we're far crazier than any second life players. we spend more in hunting, crafting and mining losses in a day than most do to purchase their island property.

and methinks we got a lot more money. heh.

second life/half life/the good life/

It seems that when virtual worlds are mentioned on tv it is EITHER SL or EU but NOT both...I'm ready to bet that EU and SL refuse to let the media use their images unless the competition's mention/images are cut to a bare minimum.
