Entropia Universe, the online community with a real cash economy, has become the first virtual world to ever win an Emmy Award.

The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences gave the International Interactive Emmy Award for Best Interactive TV Series to The Truth About Marika, a drama produced by Swedish Television and The Company P. Setting it apart from conventional television shows, viewers of The Truth About Marika could search for clues planted in Entropia Universe, piecing them together to help solve a mystery. Fans could also interact with avatars of the show’s main characters while in the game.
