Playnet‘s proprietary back-end/back-office systems provide a robust and flexible platform for fast, safe customer data recording and tracking with powerful administration tools and flexible billing services.  Playnet is partnered with Bibit Global Payment Services, a leading service provider of real-time multi-channel, multi-currency payments.  Coupled with Playnet’s MMOG operations platform, the package delivers a comprehensive accounts administration and billing solution for independent game developers looking for a quicker and less expensive way to support their online games’ business operations.

Far Vista Interactive, a dynamic online entertainment company in Saskatchewan and listed on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board, has developed the online Tournament First Person Shooter “Run the Gauntlet”, a continual, pay-to-play online computer game tournament using Epic’s Unreal 3 game engine and Playnet’s back-end office system for administration and billing services.
 
Far Vista’s innovate and unique approach in its art and programming has resulted in a game considered, by many gamers who have tested it, to be “an enjoyable, creative, leading-edge and appealing, multi-player arena first person shooter combat game for adults.” By combining the strengths of its partners with its own capabilities, Far Vista has created a game experience where players of all skill levels can enjoy the opportunity to compete on a worldwide stage and proclaim, “Everything else is just a game!
