This press release announces development of a quarter-billion dollar facility called Cyber City in Chiang Mai, Thailand, a collaboration between Creative Kingdom and the Thai government, offering this modest assessment: "The developers of Cyber City Chiang Mai believe it will prove a benchmark in the ongoing evolution of the new global economy." Word is the first project for the new facility will be creation of a new virtual planet for Mindark's Entropia Universe. Here's word on that, which takes the claims of the success of Entropia to a new high, claiming it is prepared to challenge WoW for virtual supremacy:

The maiden project for the new complex will be CKI's collaboration with the Swedish company Mindark, makers of Entropia Universe, an enormously successful Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORG) with a real cash economy that is already positioned to challenge the dominance of market leader World of Warcraft. CKI, the first high-profile architectural firm to be enlisted for such an undertaking, will design an entire planet within Entropia Universe.
