RedBedlam, developer of the historically authentic MMORPG Roma Victor - has announced a hosting partnership with Jolt Online Gaming to provide a first class gaming service.

The Roma Victor game and web servers are now hosted at Jolt's London-based Telehouse suite and testers are already enjoying the finest connection speeds available.  "Jolt is the premier online games service in Europe which confirms to our community that Roma Victor will be able to compete at the highest level," said RedBedlam's President & CEO Kerry Fraser-Robinson.  He added that, "the partnership is an excellent blend of independent and innovative organizations that share the same community-driven ethos". Over the past five years Jolt has put together a range of hosting deals for multi-player and massively multi-player games.  Their expertise will be of great benefit when Roma Victor launches in early 2005, facilitating a ramp up of players from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands when necessary. Jolt continues to expand the range of games and gaming communities that use their services: "Roma Victor was always a prime target for Jolt; the content is unique and we believe the title will attract a much broader demographic of players than previously seen in the MMO game genre," said Dominic Silk, Jolt's CEO.  He added "You only have to look to Hollywood to see that swords and sandals are back in fashion.  That's why you'll see Jolt leading the charge alongside RedBedlam". RedBedlam have confirmed that they will be announcing a call for more testers for Roma Victor in the near future in order to help achieve the game's development targets.
