Cartoon Network seeking beta testers for MMO

By Nate Mook | Published October 24, 2008, 5:38 PM

Time Warner's Cartoon Network is in the final stages of developing its own massively multiplayer online game (MMO) called FusionFall, and is seeking beta testers to help iron out any problems.

Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall has been in a limited closed beta, but the channel is now expanding the test before the game's official launch this fall. All participants must be 18 years of age or older, due to the non-disclosure agreement that must be agreed to.

According to the company, "Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall is a re-imagined and futuristic three-dimensional adventure set during an alien invasion of the Cartoon Network universe. Thrust into the role of a cartoon boy or girl, players will team up with other players and Cartoon Network characters to visit more than 60 different playable areas and defend the Cartoon Network universe from an alien invasion of epic proportions."

To sign up for the FusionFall beta test, simply visit the game's Web site, create an account and register for the beta.

what's confusing to me is that players must be 18 years old or older to play, and they play a boy or girl, not man or woman... for that matter, what about all the children who are Cartoon Network's primary demographic, all under 18, and under their rules, not allowed to play...

You have to be 18+ for the Beta. To agree to the NDA. That's why. It's designed for children but children cannot agree to contracts.

Aren't there already enough bad MMOs out there as it is?
