Release date announced for Irth Online
Magic Hat Software has announced the release date for Irth Online for the 1st November 2005. Here you have the press release with the details of the pricing plans:
Magic Hat Software, developer of fantasy MMORPG Irth Online, has announced the game’s official launch date is set for Tuesday, November 1, 2005. Pricing and distribution strategies were also announced.
"Our November 1st release date is firm," says Alan Chipura, Lead Game Designer. "The many suggestions provided by our avid and loyal Beta testers were so valuable that we absolutely had to incorporate them, even though it caused a slight delay in the launch date to November 1st."
At launch, Irth Online will be priced at $29.95 and the monthly subscription fee will be $13.95. Discounted pricing will be available in a Pre-Launch Special Offer to be announced in a few days.
Irth Online will only be available for purchase online. "Two years ago, in the early stages of development, we made the decision to distribute exclusively online and haven’t pursued any publishing deals," says Mr. Chipura. "It made more economic sense for us to self-publish."
Although no retail boxes are being produced for sale in retail stores, players who also want the game on disc may purchase Irth Online on DVD or CD-ROM for an additional $9.95 plus applicable shipping fees. Orders may be placed at www.irthonline.com and will be fulfilled immediately after the game is released.
