Thanks to misao at EntropiaPlanets.com for finding this news blurb.

The reference to prison seems to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek but what really interested me was the announcement  of ROCKtropia 2.0 in march, which sounds like will include a lot more content.
This is especially exciting considering that we got so much new content just this morning.

Here is the info they had

"Hollywood, CA - February 22, 2011– Cyber-Celebrity avatar Jon“NEVERDIE” Jacobs has become the first virtual political prisoner and is now locked up in“No Way Out” a maximum security PVP prison in the virtual world ROCKtropia

Virtual world millionaire NEVERDIE, who recently set a new world record after making a Real life profit of over $500k from the sale of a virtual asteroid, was banned from playing in ROCKtropia after a backlash from the game community was ignited by his high profile activities and dual Role of Gamer and Developer
In what some people described as an international online virtual witch hunt, NEVERDIE, his real life family and staff were all penalized in an attempt to stem fears of possible virtual insider trading..
NEVERDIE commented“ There really hasn't been a situation like this before in Video Game History where a gamer has crossed over to become a developer and because of the sensitivity of a Multi-Billion dollar Virtual goods Economy, must stop being a gamer. Of course I understand everyone's concerns, but I simply can't quit and waste my time building another avatar in a lesser MMO. I have spent 10 years championing Virtual Culture, ROCKtropia is the Future of Virtual Worlds, I must keep my Avatar alive, even if it means I have to Play inside a Virtual Prison, that's still game enough for me and who knows I may just find a way to escape!”
ROCKtropia is a cutting Edge virtual world that utilizes Stunning Cryengine2 Graphics and exists within Entropia Universe, the leading Real cash Economic, social and gaming platform.
ROCKtropia's central theme is music and Pop Culture featuring destinations for Major Artists, Bands and Music Companies. ROCktropia 2.0 is set for launch April 12th 2011.
ROCKtropia 2.0 will add new functionality to the virtual World including Quests, mini games, Expanded Shopping, Residential Areas, a Prison, Nightclubs, Tutorials, New Characters, Wildlife and Virtual Treasures branded by Top Artists.
NEVERDIE Studios will exhibit at Screenburn at SXSW in Austin Texas March 11-13th to provide a Sneak preview of ROCKtropia 2.0 to the Press and Public and also to make a Major announcement."

I wonder If the "prison" thing will be some part of the new content?  I know that Island Girl has been immortalized as a reviver/healer on Next Island.  Maybe NEVERDIE will become part of the underground music scene in a prison on Rocktropia?
