Last Chance to Make a Wish

Mutable Realms plans for a climactic end to the first phase of Beta

Huntsville, AL - January 14th, 2004 - Mutable Realms, Inc., an
independent developer of massively multiplayer games, today announced
the launch of a climactic two-week Story Arc to close out the first
phase of Beta of their acclaimed title Wish.  The Story Arc has been
written by Mutable Realms and will be implemented in cooperation with
the Themis Group, and will offer a myriad of live events to the Beta
participants.

Just over 1,000 spots remain available for gamers who'd like to
participate in the end of Beta One celebrations. "The active testers
in this phase of Beta will automatically be included in all future
rounds of testing," said Marc Laukien, President of Mutable Realms.
"Still building up to our goal of 5,000 simultaneous users this month
and with all the event activities, it's the perfect time to apply."

The first round of Beta was originally scheduled to run until the end
of February, but is now planned to close at the end of January with a
final load test of 5,000 simultaneous users during the Story
Arc. Thereafter, the Wish team will refocus on development, taking
into consideration the highly valuable feedback provided by the first
round of testers.

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 thousand
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.

Wish is planned for release in Q4 2004. More information about Wish
can be found at http://www.mutablerealms.com and a Beta signup form is
located at http://www.themis-group.com/wish/beta_app.phtml.
