Mutable Realms and Themis Group Launch Wish(tm) 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
