MindComet Promotes NCsoft's Tabula Rasa with "Operation Immortality"

MindComet Campaign Developed to Drive Users to Free Trial of Fast-Paced Sci-Fi Gaming Title

MindComet, Central Florida’s premier digital agency and marketing technology developer, today announced the launch of “Operation Immortality,” the campaign designed around NCsoft’s Tabula Rasa® online computer game which gives users the ability to help fight human extinction.  NCsoft® Corporation (KSE: 036570.KS), is the world’s leading publisher and developer of online computer games including the popular Lineage®, GuildWars® and City of Heroes®.

By interacting with Operation Immortality, users are able to contribute to mankind’s greatest achievements, upload personal messages for future generations to see, and may have their DNA digitized and stored in space – all within the idiom of the game.  Richard Garriott, a leading game pioneer and also the executive producer of Tabula Rasa, is boarding a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in October 2008 where he will take with him the digital archive of participants’ selected  “greatest achievements of mankind” and a snapshot of humanity itself.  The archive will be stored at the International Space Station to serve as a remote “offsite backup” of humanity, should we suffer a fate where, like in Tabula Rasa, mankind must fight for their survival.

“One reason we decided to work with MindComet is the consultative and collaborative approach to their work,” said David Reid, VP of Marketing, for NCsoft.  “Understanding the business of digital gaming media companies like ours is part of what separates MindComet from the vast majority of other digital agencies.”

MindComet and NCsoft expect Operation Immortality to extend and enhance other marketing efforts and drive more Tabula Rasa downloads to avid gamers through buzz creation on gaming communities and email marketing communications.  MindComet’s developers have created a compelling, realistic experience by adding the same complexity and depth to Operation Immortality that the already popular Tabula Rasa’s users demand. 

“The partnership with NCsoft is further evidence that MindComet is gaining nationally due to our unique expertise in the fast-growing world of digital social networks and gaming,” said Tara Lamberson, MindComet’s VP of Marketing and Solutions.  “Everyone on MindComet’s digital marketing team looks forward to delivering a unique user experience in addition to new Tabula Rasa players for NCsoft.”
