I am pleased to announce details of the Black Marble Virtual Pet Sanctuary!

It has been estimated that in the EU alone over 2.1 billion virtual pets/avatars or other cyber creatures, are rotting away due to neglect.

Soon to be enacted EU Regulations, the European Virtual Pet Law (2014) about the long term treatment and care of virtual pets, will mean software manufacturers and users will have a legal obligation to provide long term care of their virtual pets long after they have finished 'playing' with them.

Today we are announcing our Black Marble Virtual Pet Sanctuary, hosted in Microsoft's Premier Cloud Solution, Windows Azure, and on the 31st April, when the Law comes into effect, you will be able to sign up to our services, connect your device, and save your beloved cyber pets from certain deletion.
