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 2,300 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.

“Warnorken Castle” the latest content update of the third chapter of Runes of Magic has now gone live. The comprehensive update will include new features to the fantasy online role-playing game including a new evil six-player dungeon, the ability to raise virtual pets actively and two-player mounts so intrepid explorers can enjoy the scenery of Taborea with their friends in the saddle. 

Player groups of six adventurers on character level 58 and above can now visit the “Warnorken Arena” to participate in horrific tournaments organized by blood-thirsty Baron Reuen von Jura. In the Southern Janost Forest, players are able to join two new public encounters and take part in massive brawls to reach a common goal.

This new patch is not only focused on battles but will also include a new active in-game pet system for Runes of Magic that allows players to rear over 100 new virtual companions and train them into valuable assets that can be used whilst adventuring in the remotest areas of Taborea.

Furthermore, two-player mounts have been integrated into the game. Players can choose between four new mounts which will allow friends to share a ride with them.
