Published by Gala-Net, Iris Online is a gypsy-themed fantasy MMORPG with over 1000 quests, 22 themed instance dungeons, and an intricate Tarot Card system. Combining the medieval fantasy element with gypsy ethnic group style, the game also has different PvP modes which bring you a sense of accomplishment.
Since the game is under closed beta testing at the moment, we are happy to have an exclusive interview with the team. If you want to learn more about the game, don’t miss the post.
Q1. Will the player’s account be wiped out after CBT?
A. Yes, we will be wiping the player accounts once CBT has concluded. In the past, we have found it best to start fresh once we enter OBT.
It is more difficult for new players coming into the game after the official launch to have CBT players at a much higher level in pre-formed guilds. Additionally, it would be beneficial to the new users to have the experienced players around in the lower level content to help them along their way. This will allow players to make new friends, form stronger guilds, (Iris Online Gold)and conquer the amazing dungeons we have in store for them.
Q2. Is there a level cap for the CBT?
A. Yes, the cap for CBT is level 40. We’ll be launching the game with a cap of level 55 (and higher soon after!), so we are restricting the last 15 levels for this test.
We decided to leave out the additional quests, maps, and the higher levels to give our CBT testers something to look forward to at launch. Our primary goal for CBT is to consider and implement player feedback, and we felt that the first 40 levels well cover the large range of unique features in the game and would give us a full picture of the changes that need to be made for OBT.
Q3. What is Tarot Card system in Iris Online? What role does the Card System play in the game?
A. The Tarot Card system is definitely the most unique feature of the game! It is tied deeply to the lore and core mechanics of Iris.
From enhancing weapons, to fortune telling, to monster transformation, it is an extremely robust system that plays a pivotal role in questing and raiding! Monster transformation cards allow players to turn into more than 100 different monsters and while transformed, users gain special abilities, can sneak by high-level enemies undetected, and even give team mates monster buffs.
However one of the most-anticipated features of the game is the fortune telling system. It allows players to reveal the secrets of the mystic arts and give characters special buffs with auras that can take many forms, from ephemeral wings to bright halos.
Q4. Since the Tarot Card System forms a central theme for Iris Online. Are the instance dungeons, in-game monsters as well as equipments also closely related with the card system?
A. Absolutely! All of our themed dungeons relate back to the Tarot Card system, for example the Lovers Dungeon, require you and a partner of the opposite sex to be carrying the Lovers Card before entering. The card binds a player’s life to their partner, and both players must stay alive to complete the dungeon.
