'Runes of Magic' Update To Add New Area, Epic Boss Fight

by Rainier on Oct. 12, 2010 @ 8:07 a.m. PDT

With an extensive range of features Runes of Magic prepares to redefine the standard of free-to-play MMO games. Even at the beginning Runes of Magic conveys its absorbing story in over 5,000 quests embedded in an atmospheric world.

Runes of Magic has redefined the standard for free-to-play MMORPGs in terms of gameplay, fun and quality. The online role-playing game has an exciting, multi-layered story, driven by more than 2,700 quests set in the fantasy world of Taborea. To date, Runes of Magic has attracted more than three million registered users, making it one of the most successful free-to-play titles on the market, and a must play game for all fans of RPGs and MMO games.

Runes of Magic features a unique dual class system enabling players to combine one of eight primary classes with a secondary class. The result is a deep player experience that expands upon the game’s broad customization offering. There are two different playable races, Elves and Humans, from which players can choose. Each dual class combination produces its own powerful elite skills. Another popular feature is the opportunity to furnish your own virtual home, and guilds can construct guild castles, which can be expanded with additional buildings. Thanks to comprehensive crafting and reputation systems, gripping PvP features, deep customization and demanding dungeons, Runes of Magic has something for everyone. Taiwanese developer Runewaker regularly expands the game world with new free content and challenges.

In the remote confines of the Southern Janost Forest, new enemies await. Among the many additions that players might encounter is the new world boss, Amboriar; lying unanimated for thousands of years, Amboriar has awoken.  It will be up to the players to keep the powerful Amboriar from falling under the control of dark forces and wreaking havoc on Zandorya.

Amboriar was once one of the mighty Guardians, huge mechanical warriors forged to combat hoards of murderous demons in the ancient wars. After proving their valor in many battles, the Guardians were sent on a mission to free Zandorya. However, the warriors were attacked on route to the remote continent. Amboriar, its power source damaged, crashed down the side of a mountain where its power core finally overloaded. The giant machine remained there, buried under a pile of rubble that used to be the home of a mighty dwarf civilization.

A few years ago, in the bowels of the very same mountain, the remains of the Guardian were discovered by the bloodthirsty Baron Reuen von Jura. The specimen was so well preserved that it presented an incredible opportunity for the scientists of the Hand of Truth, the rebel faction aiming to overthrow the throne of Zandorya. It would be easy to repair the power core of this robot and reprogram it into an all-mighty ally.

It is up to the players to prevent this nightmare from coming to pass.  No one would stand a chance in combat with the mechanical titan if the Hand of Truth army manages to completely restore its power source. Deep inside the Ruins of the Magnork Kingdom, a crucial battle for the future of Zandorya will take place; a battle so fierce that it will require the joint efforts of as many fighters as the king Callaway can muster.
