Press Release Summary: Metaversum GmbH, developer and operator of the 3D online
world Twinity, announced today that metropolises are being built in its virtual
world. Berlin\'s Hackescher Markt and its immediate surroundings can now be accessed
in private Beta.

Press Release Body: Singapore, 11 July 2008 - Metaversum GmbH has announced that it
plans to build virtual replicas of real metropolises in the 3D online world Twinity.
Berlin will be the first virtual city that Twinity members can enter and explore,
with other international metropolises set to follow.

This is the first time that Germany\'s capital has been rendered true-to-scale within
a virtual world, thus enabling its members to directly interact with the city. Visit
virtual galleries, make new friends in cafs and bars, or go on a virtual shopping
trip - these are only a few of the many things to discover in Twinity.

During the current private beta phase, Twinity enables its members to create unique
avatars, and move into and style virtual apartments anywhere in the world.

The Hackescher Markt district of Berlin is the city\'s first neighborhood to be
released for private testing, with over six square kilometers of area. Twinity\'s
Hackescher Markt and its surroundings feature many shops, galleries, bars, and clubs
that exist in real Berlin. These locations have been carefully rendered in Twinity.
The Metaversum team will continue to improve the outdoor environment as members
explore the virtual city.

\"We\'re very excited about opening the Hackescher Markt, the very first to-scale
section of a real city in Twinity. We\'re now engaged in integrating more features
and optimizing the city\'s performance step by step in close cooperation with our
members\", commented Dr. Mirko Caspar, CMO of Metaversum GmbH.

phase at www.twinity.com.
