Fantasy University has announced that it is currently accepting applications for its closed beta program. The game, slated for a late September release on Facebook, puts a new spin on the old-school MMOG with a "social adventure" filled with grown-up humor and a plethora of pop-culture references.
"We’re pleased to open our doors to all worthy candidates… well, sort of opening our doors. You know, it’s like creaking the door halfway open, but placing a stopper in it," said The Headmaster. "While we are on the subject, where are the hall monitors?"
"This time of year brings a tear to every Professor’s eye," said Professor Lackpants. "Another year of putting up with social gamers … I’d better be reaching tenure soon!"
