Acclaim Games annouces the beginning of the closed Beta test for 2Moons.

Acclaim Games is pleased to announce the start of Closed Beta testing for 2Moons, a totally brutal Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) that is FREE to download and play on a PC. With the tagline "No mercy for the weak, no pity for the dying, no tears for the slain", 2Moons was designed exclusively for Adult gamers age 17 and over, featuring extreme fantasy violence, profanity, an epic story, and heart-pumping action.

Since Closed Beta email registration began in August 2006, without any marketing, over 100,000 gamers have already signed up to participate via the official 2Moons website at www.2MoonsGame.com.

These Closed Beta testers will be given an exclusive & confidential first look at the game, and are asked to report bugs and issues, and to make suggestions to the development team.

2Moons was designed to be easy for any player to get into and enjoy right away. Featuring elements of traditional role-playing games and arcade-style fighting action, 2Moons will appeal to a broad range of players who seek a thrilling, action-packed gaming experience in an exciting story. The game story is set in an aggressive, dangerous, and visually stunning world and was written by writer Henry Jones.

"I've made a lot of games over the years", says the game's Director David Perry. "There's no doubt that by the time we're done, 2Moons will have really earned it's 'Most Edgy MMORPG' accolade. The Beta testers will be able to see all the new features getting added over time. They'll also be able to help us craft this into a game they each personally love."

2Moons is the third release from the new Acclaim, a resurrected company with a familiar name. The new Acclaim will focus entirely on providing quality multiplayer online games for free. The games will be supported with a mix of advertising and virtual item stores. For 2Moons, players will also be allowed to turn off the in-game adverting if they choose to, a major innovation in the FREE online game industry. Acclaim has already partnered with IGA to provide in-game advertising for its other online game titles.

Players will also have a chance to be a part of the actual game itself. Several lucky players will be able to participate in the development process by providing the voices for characters in 2Moons. Acclaim will choose the best player voice recordings to go into the game. Get more information at http://phpbb.acclaim.com/2moons/viewtopic.php?t=1594.

To play 2Moons and participate in Closed Beta testing, registered players must receive an official invitation by email. Invitations will be emailed regularly on a first come, first served basis. Fans that have not yet registered are encouraged to sign up at www.2MoonsGame.com, as Closed Beta space may be limited.

2Moons Closed Beta is expected to last several weeks, followed by Open Beta testing where a larger group can participate to further test the game before official release. Register now to be one of the first to experience this exciting new game!
