Z-Opolis Beta Open to Public

Z-OPOLIS™ BETA TEST OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC

First Non-Violent, Kid-Friendly
MMOG Sets New Standard in Online Game Play

Irvine, CA (August 22, 2002) –
PersistentWorldZ, creator of Z-Opolis, today announced that it has opened its
Beta test to the public and invites new players to register at
www.z-opolis.com  to experience the
first true massively multiplayer online community game (MMOCG) designed for
younger players and teens.

In limited Beta test since August
1st, Z-Opolis is the first non-violent, kid-friendly MMOG to be released in the
U.S. Game play centers around positive interaction and community and Z-Opolis
integrates a variety of unique technologies making it accessible anytime,
anywhere through the game client, PC Internet, or wireless mobile devices.

“Our initial tests have been so
successful we’ve decided to open the Beta to the public earlier than we’d
originally planned,” said Kevin Hannah, Chief Marketing Officer at
PersistentWorldZ. “The game dynamics, localization, and technology are working
smoothly, and now we would like to build a critical mass of players to enhance
the social experience for everyone.”

Z-Opolis offers young adult players
an enriching opportunity to live successful, virtual lives within a complete
social and economic framework. From designing their avatar’s appearance,
clothing, and living space, to accumulating wealth, amassing friends and
possessions, or creating personal fulfillment, players have complete freedom to
define and pursue their own goals.

Web technologies, such as browser
access and Instant Messaging, ensure that players within the Z-Opolis community
never lose touch with their friends, and by exploiting dynamic and personalized
web content, directly from in-game, Z-Opolis stays fresh and exciting.
