Brighton, UK. RedBedlam Ltd is pleased to announce the release dates for its Roman Empire based MMORPG Roma Victor®. The first 1,500 accounts will be made available during a 'pre-order' phase, beginning on the Ides of December. The accounts, costing £14.98 each, will come complete with £5 worth of in-game currency (sesterces).
The game's full commercial release will take place on the Kalends of April '06 when the price of an account becomes £19.98 (which will include £10 worth of sesterces).
Pre-order players and veteran testers of the VERM® (Virtual Economics Revenue Model) will be able to gain access to the game world on the Ides of March - a full 2-weeks in advance of the public offer.
All testers that have spent any money in order to acquire sesterces during the test will have the virtual equivalent of their total contribution credited back into their virtual balance at the full launch of the game.
