BETA sign-up begins for ArchLord™, Codemasters' epic fantasy MMORPG

Codemasters today announces the launch of the BETA test sign-up program for the hotly anticipated fantasy epic ArchLord. Gamers who want to be in at the start can apply using the BETA sign-up form, now available from the official ArchLord website at www.archlordgame.com.

ArchLord is a unique proposition in MMO gaming, offering players the unprecedented opportunity to become the game world's supreme ruler.

Demand for the BETA test is likely to be high and so the official site also introduces the ArchLord BETA V.I.P. Program. This details alternative ways that gamers can gain access to the ArchLord BETA, which is due to commence in the coming months.

As part of the V.I.P. Program Codemasters is offering the ArchLord Fansite Toolkit - enabling members of the growing ArchLord community to design and build their own fansite. Access to the BETA will be limited, however fansite creators, guild members and active community members will be given preferential access.

ArchLord is a fantasy themed MMORPG that offers players the opportunity to rise to become the game world's supreme ruler and wreak absolute havoc. A new ArchLord is crowned each month, offering competition and reward beyond any other MMO. Published by Codemasters Online Gaming, ArchLord is set for release in Q3 across the US and Europe.
