Ballerium now celebrates its 30th beta round and everybody is invited to try MMO-RTS Ballerium for free, no strings attached, no credit card required, and no ads displayed. Having gone through possibly the largest list of hurdles, including Majorem (the developer) running out of money several times, Ballerium seem to gain better appreciation from its testers now than it did before. As a result, the developers now decided to let anyone onto the servers on a
fully open beta, create an account and register.

Majorem regretably announces today that development of its MMO-RTS Ballerium has again come to a full stop, as a result of an agreement signed with Interplay's in December 2004 that could not be realized, apparently due to Interplay's inability to raise the required funding to turn Majorem's technology into a game. The agreement, signed in december was to see Interplay provide Majorem with the means to launch Ballerium this summer. As a result of this new situation, Majorem now considers to accept new offers for the licensing of its MMO-RTS technology (and an almost ready MMO-RTS game) to interested third parties. Inquiries can be sent to info@majorem.com
