September 13, 2007 PHOENIX, Arizona – Virtrium LLC, developers of online game technologies and products, announced today that it has completed an agreement with Tulga Games, LLC., in which Virtrium has purchased the assets of Tulga Games. As part of the purchase agreement, Virtrium will continue to support and develop the subscription based MMO Horizons.
Tulga Games' Managing Member, David Bowman, said, "Virtrium has made a very exciting offer to purchase the assets of Tulga Games. This offer presents an opportunity for Horizons to see a progressive future with updates to the game world and content expansions, as well as refinements to the technology. Virtrium has the necessary experience to make this happen in a very successful way. We're pleased to accept Virtrium's offer and know that it will provide a fresh future for the players of Horizons."
Virtrium's CEO, Rick Simmons, said, "We see a lot of value in Horizons and know that our expertise and passion will allow Horizons to grow and expand. Horizons is truly a unique game in the MMO market and appeals to a dedicated audience. Only Horizons offers the ability to soar as a Dragon and the construction system, whether used to create a customized underground lair or player owned town, is unique.". When asked about plans for expanding Horizons, Mr. Simmons replied, "Virtrium is very committed to Horizons and we see a successful future in continuing the unique experiences that appeal to our loyal player base, with development moving forward to meet their discerning expectations for original content. At the same time, we will continue to keep a close eye on reducing barriers to entry and broadening the starting experience for new customers.

Regarding the future of Horizons, Mr. Simmons said, "Virtrium believes in the longevity and endurance of Horizons. We're here for our customers and everyone involved is dedicated to seeing Horizons grow into the future. We're all very excited and proud to continue the game world for the players of Horizons."
