Open Beta of Stone Age 2 Ready for North American Release


California, U.S.A. (July 3, 2008)
– Aeria Games is proud to announce the open beta of the highly anticipated free-2-play massive-multiplayer RPG, Stone Age 2.

Set in the prehistoric ages, Stone Age 2 brings a mixture of dinosaurs of unimaginable heights and invisible spirits who help humans roam altered terrains such as dungeons and arid desserts.

Catch cute dinosaur pals and raise them to be battle masters and fight primeval threats alongside friendly allies. Duel against other players and creatures by building up your team with a combination of over 200 dinosaur species – each with unique personalities and special abilities. Enter your dinosaur pals into battle tournaments or just ride them around town.

For a limited time, new players will have the ability to snatch up the following items, absolutely free, just for checking out the wonderful world of Stone Age 2.

• One Small Shell Axe - Arm yourself for adventure with this free weapon that’ll see you through many days of hard fighting!

• Ten Fruit of Perception - Each Fruit of Perception doubles the Experience you receive from battles for two hours - what a sweet snack!

• Five Wizard’s Feed Soups - Each cup of this mystical broth raises the Loyalty and Mood of one Pal straight to 100! Perfect for quickly turning a wild Pal into a trusted companion!

• Five Dinosaur Cookies - Because dinosaurs ate cookies too; it’s just that none of them fossilized so we have no record. You might want to try one of these when your endurance is low.

• One Fresh Milk - because cookies with no milk would simply be … barbarian of us.

One addition to open beta is a new tournament structure that will be available for all weight classes and they will run 24 hours a day seven days a week and feature instant prize distribution after each tournament has been completed.

For more information on closed beta for Stone Age 2, please visit http://stoneage2.aeriagames.com.
