Information about Ige

For the antibody, see Immunoglobulin E (IgE).


IGE (Internet Gaming Entertainment) is the largest MMORPG services company world-wide, with offices in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Miami. IGE is one of the main players in virtual economy services, also known in the MMORPG industry as secondary market. Members of the gaming community are often critical of IGE, as its services may allow players to break the rules of online games[1].

The co-founders of IGE are Brock Pierce, a former child movie star [2], and Alan Debonneville. Pierce was also the co-founder of the controversial failed dot-com Digital Entertainment Network (DEN)[3].

In January 2004, IGE acquired its major competitor, Yantis Enterprises, run by another controversial secondary market figure, Jonathan Yantis [4] for an undisclosed sum. IGE's parent company, RPG Holdings purchased Allakhazam.com in November 2005[5] and was announced in May 2006[6]. Allakhazam is a popular MMORPG community site for a wide variety of games that IGE's services cater for; however, the site continues to pride itself on not supporting the trade of virtual currencies in the real economy, typically breaking and/or removing any links to sites (including IGE) that perform such trades. This marks the further expansion of this company's presence in online gaming communities. This purchase followed that of ThottBot.com.

While many users left because of the purchase, the site is still extremely popular with players of many major MMOs.

As of April 24th, 2007, however, IGE has since been sold by its current parent (Affinity Media), according to reports on Allakhazam.com.

Despite the practice being outlawed in most games, as of May 9, 2007, IGE sells in-game items, money, and accounts for the following:
