The full press release:

TURBINE KICKS OFF MEMBER LOYALTY, BETA REWARDS PROGRAM

WESTWOOD, Mass. — Feb. 23, 2005 — Turbine, Inc., a premier provider of online subscription entertainment, today announced that it has launched a member rewards program as a way to say thank you to its dedicated and passionate online games service members. The new member rewards program, which went live on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2005, offers anyone with an active subscription to a Turbine service the opportunity to become eligible for future Turbine beta testing programs before the general public.

“Turbine’s beta rewards is a great way for us to show our appreciation to the thousands of players who immerse themselves in Turbine’s online worlds,” said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO, Turbine, Inc. “We want to reward Turbine’s loyal players by offering them the chance to be among the first to see and try out the new worlds that we produce.”

How it Works:

Members of a Turbine service, such as Asheron’s Call® or Asheron’s Call 2: Fallen Kings®, may register for the program via a link on their service profile page. Prior to an upcoming beta program’s open phase, Turbine will create a pool of eligible members from those who registered and meet Turbine’s criteria. From this pool, select members will be invited to participate in a pending game beta. Members who are not selected for play testing will remain in the pool and could be selected for later beta activities or opportunities.

Program Requirements:

To qualify for the Turbine Member Rewards program, members must be registered for a Turbine world through the company’s new billing system. In addition, they must be actively subscribed to at least one Turbine service for at least six consecutive months in good standing.

If members have more than one eligible service account, such as a subscription to both AC and AC2, each account is eligible for its own program membership.
