Comments on: Wrapping up the week at Metaversum, August 24, 2007 http://metaversum.com/blog/wrapping-up-the-week-at-metaversum-august-24-2007/ Web 2.0 and virtual worlds Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:54:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Epic Ahab http://metaversum.com/blog/wrapping-up-the-week-at-metaversum-august-24-2007/#comment-432 Epic Ahab Tue, 28 Aug 2007 14:31:33 +0000 http://metaversum.com/blog/wrapping-up-the-week-at-metaversum-august-24-2007/#comment-432 Sounds like quite the interesting week! I can share the concerns of many of the attendees about transfer of assets. The obvious goal from a wealth protection standpoint is that if one virtual world goes belly up, you can transfer your wealth to another. One real-world example of this is the Anshe Chung "Dreamland Exchange" which allows you to transfer Lindens (Second Life) to PEDs (Entropia Universe). Future projects might add other real-cash economies to their transfer system, allowing a multifaceted movement of funds. These types of "meta" economies are exciting and will allow for more freedom going forward. Sounds like quite the interesting week!
