Codemasters Online Gaming Attempts the Largest PvP Battle Ever in an MMO with ArchLord

Heralding the End of the BETA, Additional Beta Keys Released for Planned Server Stress Test Available at www.archlordgame.com/requestakey

Codemasters Online Gaming (COG) announces an ambitious “End of Beta” ArchLord event that will attempt the largest PvP battle in an MMO. The epic showdown will take place 12:00pm PST (3:00pm EST) on Sunday Oct 1 in ArchLord’s fantasy game world Chantra.

In preparation for this planned stress test of the servers, COG has released an additional 500,000 BETA keys for anyone wanting to participate in this ultimate PvP battle that will see thousands of players pit their wits against each other in a fight to the (virtual) death.

To be part of the epic battle, players will need to join one of four specific guilds led by four heroes: Brumhart - Champion of Zylok, Ziann - Champion of Anchorville, Evengarda - Champion of Tullan, or Gaiahon - Champion of Terranoa. For detailed information on how to participate please visit the “End of Beta” forum posting at http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1836840%20-%20post1836840.

“We wanted an epic conclusion to the ArchLord BETA and this PvP battle is extremely exciting,” said Ed Relf, head of marketing, Codemasters Online Gaming. “Not only is it exactly what MMO gaming is about, it will also give us the chance to stress test the servers in a way that has never been attempted before.”

Gamers that want to participate need to request a key and join the beta by visiting www.archlordgame.com/requestakey.

ArchLord will be published, exclusively for PC, in North America and Europe by Codemasters Online Gaming in October 2006. To see the movie and more, visit the official website today at www.archlordgame.com.
