First group of core testers provide valuable feedback; More mortals being selected to receive the power of the Gods

San Francisco, CA – October 3, 2006 - Perpetual Entertainment announced today that Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising, its premiere massively multiplayer RPG of mythic adventure in the ancient world, has entered the Closed Beta phase of development and the first round of Core Testers have submitted early feedback on the game.

“The Core Testers currently in the Beta are the very first outside people to play the game, and we are thrilled at what they’ve had to say,” said Richard Zinser, Vice President of Game Services for Perpetual Entertainment. “Their positive feedback on playability and balance has confirmed that we’re on the right path to making Gods & Heroes the best game possible at launch.”

Additional Core Testers will be added to this first stage of Closed Beta on October 6th, 2006. Members of the Gods & Heroes community can apply for the Core Tester program by emailing claunius@perpetual.com with one paragraph (250 words or less) explaining their qualifications as a Core Tester. Emails should include the applicant’s real name, account name, persona, and email address. Beta applications must be submitted by October 6th, 2006 at midnight PST to qualify for the first stage.

“After the years of development and months of internal testing, we are eagerly anticipating the expansion of the Closed Beta in coming months as we begin to open the game up to the community,” said Chris McKibbin, President of Perpetual Entertainment.
