Your parents may have told you that the countless hours you spent gaming in front of your monitor would amount to nothing, well here is your chance to at least try to prove them wrong.

Australia based Auran Games and Gamecock Media Group in association with Codemasters Online have announced the world’s first open beta event for their upcoming PVP MMO — FURY.

The event dubbed “Fury Challenge” will be awarding an excess of $1,000,000 in prizes and is being billed as the richest prize pool ever for an online role-playing event.

“We believe that FURY will be the start of a PVP revolution, so why not create a revolutionary Open Beta event to show the world that we have arrived,” stated Tony Hilliam, Auran CEO.

The event will kick off on September 14th and be available over the course of three consecutive weekends. The first will be dedicated to practice, leveling up, unlocking abilities, and experimentation — not the kind you did in your parents basement.

In weeks two and three, the gloves come off and players will compete for real. There will be three game types in all on seven different ladders. The ladders will be based on a specific game types and each gamer will receive a cumulative score based on the ten best games they played that given weekend.

“We’ve lined up a huge array of prizes from our sponsors including NVidia, Dell, IGN, GameStop, Harvey Norman, FHM, Logitech and ZBoard,” said Brian Cooke, Auran Marketing Director.

The list of sponsors and prizes is still growing and will be continually updated via the www.furychallenge.com.
