WINNIPEG, Manitoba - October 26th, 2009 - The 13th Hour Studios today has announced that they will begin to accept alpha applications for their Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG), titled Aerrevan. The alpha test is slated to be begin in the second half of December 2009.

"This test will give us great insight in to what behaviors players will have when playing our game, as well as a comprehensive scrub of all the current gameplay features for bugs and issues," said Sean Oosterveen, Aerrevan's Project Manager.

The alpha test will include 200-250 testers selected by the developers of the game. Potential testers are encouraged to sign up early and to visit the Aerrevan website at www.aerrevan.com for full details. To increase the chances of being selected, active community participation as well as previous testing experience is highly recommended. The test will include players all over the globe running the Windows operating system.

Aerrevan is a brand new MMORPG game, it takes place on the continent of Lurris in a world shattered by the onset of a magical force known as Aer. Aer has strong magical qualities, but is also highly toxic to the body. It has been four years since the Baehoman meteor struck Lurris, bringing with it this toxic element. When the meteor struck, Aer was unevenly dispersed around the world, many died as their very lifeforce was stripped from their bodies, and others became mutated, turning into horrible creatures. Everything from wildlife to the long since dead has felt the effects of Aer. In the years before the meteor strike, Lurris was hardly in a state of peace, the three races of the world, Humans, Orcs, and Elves were held together with weak political arrangements made by their leaders. Today, a new level of alliance has formed. Two men have come forth with solutions to long term survival in an Aer-inflicted world. Great Mage Vastellyn, one of the oldest and wisest mages in the world, has devised a method to neutralize excess Aer and purge it from the world, ultimately ridding Lurris of Aer altogether. On the other hand, Great Mage Kalam, a mysterious and very powerful mage, aims to harness the power of Aer and use it. Followers of these mages fight endlessly for their beliefs with no control from the racial leaders. These skirmishes are centered around the Baehoman meteor itself, resting now in a valley carved by its impact. The gameplay experience in Aerrevan is centralized around Aer and its effects on the world.

The 13th Hour Studios is an independent game production studio specializing in MMORPG games. They have been involved in the production of several gaming projects and technology development cycles. With a strong commitment to a novel quality gaming experience Aerrevan is poised to offer gamers a new and exciting experience. See for yourself at www.aerrevan.com
