Jumbuck Sets Gaming Standards
KeyWord: multiplayer,mobile,game,jumbuck Date: 08-31-2006
Summary:Jumbuck, an Australian company, has launched “Jumbuck Island”, a 3D virtual world that is half multiplayer game and half chat room.

Is mobile phone online game going to a part of our MMOGs world in the furture? I believe so, let?s take a look at their process now:

We don’t usually make posts out of upcoming mobile games because we don’t promote games before we’ve reviewed them but this is an exception. Jumbuck, an Australian company, has launched “Jumbuck Island”, a 3D virtual world that is half multiplayer game and half chat room. The island includes a dance-floor, DJ area, beaches and the “Hollywood Pool” featuring deck chairs and water fountains. Jumbuck’s initiative will help set a standard for the mobile gaming industry and it is for this reason that we’re willing to report this game prematurely.

T-Mobile UK, Content Manager Lenka Horakova, commented, “The real advantage with Jumbuck is that T-Mobile customers have been able to benefit immediately as they are able to communicate instantly with Jumbuck’s large established global community. We’ve already had great feedback on their services from our customers.”

Carriers will benefit significantly from the increase in messaging and airtime from users playing this game. Jumbuck Island is available on Sprint, Nextel, Optus, O2 and Cingular.
