FilePlanet to host Wish Beta 2.0 Download

Mutable Realms, Inc., is pleased to announce that FilePlanet will host the Wish Beta 2.0 download.

Wish is the first Ultra Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (UMMORPG(tm)), with tens of thousand of simultaneous players in a single world, without any zones or "shards". With Wish's single-world approach, Mutable Realms employs a dedicated Live Story Team whose singular purpose is to keep the game story moving forward, providing a fresh gaming experience for our users each time they play.

"Given the solid reputation of Wish's previous open beta last year, we are looking forward to our upcoming partnership with Mutable Realms," said Wouter Ryckbosch, Associate Editor of the Vault Network. "We are thrilled that our network will play a part in the development of this highly promising title and hope that our visitors will share this enthusiasm for helping Wish improve by means of play testing. Fresh and innovative games such as Wish keep the market healthy and we believe it is very important for us to actively have a hand in this by partnering with Mutable Realms to help host their newest open beta. Meanwhile our visitors get the chance to try out the game months before release, while being able to have their voice heard in the development process."

"We are very pleased that FilePlanet agreed to host our Wish Beta 2.0 Client on their powerful server network," said Marc Laukien, President of Mutable Realms. "So far, about 40,000 testers have signed up for our beta test, which means a lot of download traffic, in particular during the first days of January. With FilePlanet's help, we will be able to provide a hassle-free download for such a large number of players."

Beta 2.0 is scheduled to start on January 1, 2005. Testers will be able to download the game client at the end of December. There will be no fee for downloading the game client.
