FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mutable Realms and Themis Group Launch WishT Beta
First Phase of Beta Begins December 1, 2003
Durham, NC - December 1st, 2003 - Mutable Realms, Inc., an independent developer
of massively multiplayer games, and Themis Group, an international provider of
outsourcing and consulting solutions and services to the interactive
entertainment industry, announced today the beginning of the highly anticipated
Wish Beta. This round of Beta is scheduled to run through the end of
February, 2004, quickly scaling to 20,000 users.
"We're excited to be underway," said Marc Laukien, President of
Mutable Realms. "With the help of Themis Group we plan to quickly scale
this phase of Beta to reach our intended goal of 5,000 simultaneous users."
Wish defines a new category of online game, the "Ultra Massive Multiplayer
Online Role Playing Game" (UMMORPG). Unlike existing MMORPGs that confine
players to a server with only a few hundred other players, Wish's
highly-scalable server cluster infrastructure allows the game to support tens of
thousands of simultaneous players in a single shared
world.
"This is the birth of an ambitious project," said Alexander Macris,
CEO of Themis Group. "We're excited to be side by side with Mutable Realms
helping them accomplish their goals."
Wish is planned for release in Q4 2004. More information about Wish can be found
