Eris Online Alpha 3 – First Gameplay Demo on Red Caye

Florida, USA — Independent developer Stone Carter Studios today announces the release of Alpha 3 for its dark‑fantasy sandbox MMO, Eris Online. This update marks the first playable gameplay demo, set in the fog‑shrouded island of Red Caye, offering players a hands‑on early experience of core systems.

Alpha 3 Demo – Feature Highlights

• Explore Red Caye — the first playable zone, richly atmospheric and set beneath a perpetual crimson sky.
• Four Distinct Classes — experiment with the base archetypes: Fighter, Healer, Mage, and Rogue in early combat scenarios.
• Leveling to Experience — gain experience up to level 10, engaging monsters and discovering rare loot along the way.
• Combat & Loot — battle monsters for rare gear drops; fight other players in emergent PvP encounters.
• Group Play — team up with friends to tackle encounters collaboratively.

Important Notes

• Character Wipe Notice: All previous characters have been wiped and are not compatible with Alpha 3—players must create new characters for this version.
• Special Race Access: The Minotaur and Hierax races may soon become exclusive to supporters via paywall, though they remain available for free during Alpha 3 testing.

Why This Matters

Alpha 3 offers the first tangible gameplay slice of Eris Online—letting testers experience exploration, combat, group interactions, progression, and loot in a live demo setting. These systems build upon the character identity foundations from earlier phases, moving the project from concept toward persistent world gameplay.
