Frogster Interactive and Runewalker Entertainment have announced "Runes of Magic," an upcoming free-to-play MMORPG that is currently scheduled to be released during the holiday season.
"With an extensive range of features, Runes of Magic prepares to redefine the standards of free-to-play MMO games. The German version of this sophisticated fantasy adventure will be available to gamers before Christmas 2008, with the English version slated for release soon afterwards. From the beginning, Runes of Magic envelops gamers in an absorbing story through over 600 quests spread throughout the immersing world.
In Runes of Magic, players choose from six main classes, and combined with secondary class options, they can access 36 individual character classes overall. All characters possess unique skills with impressive combo attacks, and can use mounts in the later stages of gameplay. A particularly attractive feature for players and guilds is the ability to arrange their own virtual homes with individual furnishings.
Thanks to an extensive crafting and reputation system, thrilling PVP, demanding dungeons and boss-monsters, no gamers' wishes remain unsatisfied with Runes of Magic."
