Facebook Game Fantasy University Announces Closed Beta

Fantasy University announced that it is currently accepting applications for its closed beta program. The game, slated for a late September release on Facebook, puts a new spin on the old-school MMOG with a "social adventure" filled with grown-up humor and a plethora of pop-culture references.

"We're pleased to open our doors to all worthy candidates ... well, sort of opening our doors. You know, it's like creaking the door halfway open, but placing a stopper in it," said The Headmaster. "While we are on the subject, where are the hall monitors?"

"This time of year brings a tear to every Professor's eye," said Professor Lackpants. "Another year of putting up with social gamers ... I'd better be reaching tenure soon!"

Created by gaming industry veterans Simutronics (whose founders created Gemstone IV, the longest-running commercial MUD in the world as well as Cyberstrike and Dragonrealms), Fantasy University combines exploration, combat, puzzles, and - above all - snarky intelligent humor with a uniquely appealing graphic style.
