'Runes of Magic' Christmas Contest Gets You Hardware Prizes, In-Game Mounts

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 2,800 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.

Christmas is coming to Taborea  (plus patch 3.0.7), along with a range of special events and promotions on a seasonal theme guaranteed to put Runes of Magic fans in the festive mood. Mid-December will see the start of the Snowflake Festival, conveying Christmas charm to the online community giving brave adventurers of Taborea the chance to earn great rewards for the completion of special daily quests. Players also get the opportunity to decorate their in-game houses with festive frills and plant seeds for magnificent Christmas trees.

There are also  more tangible prizes on offer as well in the Bake and Make Christmas Contest, which promises to put Runes of Magic fans’ creativity to the test. Players are requested to create something ‘Christmas-y’, but  related to Runes of Magic. Whether using dough, glue, pen and paper, or something quite different is up to them, as long as their entry is relevant to the game and above all, photogenic! The best entries will be rewarded not only with hardware prizes such as an Internet Media Streamer and a Shuttle PC, but also with valuable in-game mounts.
