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.

Gameforge celebrates the 15th anniversary of developer Runewaker’s free-to-play MMORPG, Runes of Magic today!

To celebrate this occasion, Gameforge is announcing a Timeless Dungeon, a revamped version of the popular Mystic Altar designed with the endgame in mind.

In April, players will be able to take on the challenges that the new dungeon has in store for them.

About the New Shadows Over the Altar Dungeon 

The focus is clearly on the seven unique bosses that await in the revamped version of the Mystic Altar. Furthermore, the Runes of Magic team has adapted the structure of the dungeon so that even experienced players will have to try out new approaches. A specially positioned NPC next to the existing "Peak Hunt NPC" serves as a portal to these timeless instances.

New Valuable Equipment

The new dungeons are designed to appeal to returning players and offer exciting challenges as well as the opportunity to collect new equipment. The full accessory set can be used to further develop characters and prepare them for future challenges. 

In the new Timeless Dungeons, players can expect a well-thought-out reward system that fits seamlessly into the existing equipment setup of Runes of Magic. Players have the opportunity to collect a completely new equipment set over several instances. The items are dropped directly in the instance but can also be acquired via Peak Fragments. Peak Fragments will be introduced via a new daily quest.

"After the huge success of the first iteration of Timeless Dungeons, we've been working hard to enhance the experience for the 15th anniversary of Runes of Magic," explains Patrick Mathieu, Product Manager of Runes of Magic. "We're confident that this new content will delight both longtime fans and returning players who now have an easier time getting to higher levels thanks to the changes we made in preparation."
