    $100,000+ To Be Available in Project Entropia, Commercial trial phase.

    MindArk seeks 5,000 participants to test its virtual world’s economy system with
    real cash

    Gothenburg, Sweden – December 4, 2001 - MindArk AB announced today that the
    initial trial of the revolutionary Project Entropia economy system will begin in
    the near future as part of MindArk’s release schedule. In order to facilitate
    thorough testing of the system, a number of special items will be made available
    in the virtual world of Calypso. Users will be able to exchange them for
    virtual Project Entropia Dollars (PED), which can be converted to cold, hard
    cash. The total value of these items will be at least 1 million PED, which is
    equivalent to $100,000 US.

    “Project Entropia is a groundbreaking new form of entertainment,” stated MindArk
    Marketing Manager Patric Sundstrom. “Perhaps the most significant manner in
    which it will break away is by allowing participants to make real money,
    possibly even millions of dollars, which makes it absolutely essential that we
    test the economic system and security measures rigorously. In order to do so,
    we will ask users to put small amounts of money into the system and offer them
    the possibility of taking out much more. We’re very pleased with the progress
    of our tests so far, and extremely excited that we will soon begin trials with
    this vital element.”

    Project Entropia is a pioneering Internet-based form of interactive
    entertainment based upon a fully featured 3D persistent state world. It will be
    made available with no initial cost or mandatory subscription fees to millions
    of Internet users around the world. Beta testing has been under way since May,
    with about 1,000 users currently taking part in Phase II and plans to expand to
    about 5,000 in the commercial trial phase. Further information for potential
    participants will be announced shortly. In the meantime, interested individuals
    who have not already done so may apply at

    Project Entropia is a virtual world set in the distant future. In the roles of
    human colonists on the seemingly idyllic planet of Calypso, participants will
    have the chance to meet and socialize or to explore and adventure with each
    other while facing challenges from wild indigenous creatures and invading
    robots. Additional information about Project Entropia can be found on the
    official website at http://www.project-entropia.com/
