Mutable Realms and Themis Group Ink Deal

Durham, NC -- July 8th, 2003 -- Mutable Realms, an Alabama based
independent developer of massively multiplayer games, today announced
the signing of a contract with Themis Group, an international provider
of outsourcing and consulting solutions and services to the
interactive entertainment industry. Under the terms of the agreement,
Themis Group will provide critical and quantifiable beta phase
services for Mutable Realms upcoming game Wish, aimed at ensuring that
Wish emerges from the closed beta phase ready to successfully scale up
to open beta and commercial launch

"Closed beta is a critical phase in the successful development an
online game," said Marc Laukien, President of Mutable Realms. "With
the Themis Group's experience on our side, we're confident our testing
process will be both effective and successful."

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.

"A game as ambitious and innovative as Wish will demand a rigorous and
comprehensive beta test," said Alexander Macris, CEO of Themis
Group. "We look forward to meeting the challenges ahead."

Wish will begin a limited closed Beta in November, 2003, expanding to
10,000 users by early next year. The game is planned for release in Q4
2004. More information about Wish can be found at

"It's always a goal of mine to make certain that we as developers
listen to the players," said Dave Rickey, Lead Designer of Wish. "I'm
now confident we'll hear everything they'll have to say."
