Virtual Worlds News has a nice roundup of investment in virtual-worlds related companies in 2008. This includes a mention of Metaversum:

Metaversum, which received an undisclosed, multi-million Euro investment towards its mirror world, Twinity. The recurring them for the over-18 set is clear: even in a virtual world, reality is key. Whether that touch point is made through a social network and real-world friends or by mirroring the physical environment, the older we get, the more investors  expect us to shy away from fantasy–unless, of course, that’s the pure fantasy of MMOGs.

Indeed reality may be the key, as Kzero also mentioned recently.
