Review

Runes of Magic is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG with beautiful 3D graphics, fully-realized dungeon encounters, unmatched character customization, and a unique multi-class system. It comes packed with both simple improvements and changes to some traditional MMORPG systems - and some entirely new features and additions too.

With over 5 million registered players, Runes of Magic sees players entering the mythical land of Taborea; home to all manner of creatures and ancient secrets waiting to be discovered around every turn.

With 8 classes available, ‘Runes of Magic’ continues to set new standards for what players can expect from an MMORPG.

The first of the more noticeable additions you will find throughout the lands of Taborea is in the character creation. Here, you are given the choice of over twenty different face and hairstyles, and can choose from almost any color imaginable. Then, you are able to choose the size of each and every individual body part on you character, and their height too. Coupled with the later ability to choose a Primary and Secondary color for each piece of armor you equip, you should have a hard time finding another player that looks even remotely like you do.

If you should however find another character that resembles yours, Runes of Magic has a solution for that too, and it lies in the totally awesome multi-class system. While to begin with you are only able to select one class, upon reaching level 10 you are given the choice of a second, and will have access to certain skills from their arsenal; however, this comes at a price - time - as in order to gain access to these skills you must first designate your secondary class as your primary, and begin again from level 1. 

At present, 6 classes are available (Rogue, Warrior, Knight, Priest, Scout and Mage) - however when you factor in Secondary Classes, you'll find that number to be closer to 30. Levelling is amazingly fluent, too. Questing, as it's called, is once again very much like that found in World of Warcraft, both in style and in quantity. There are currently over 600 quests in Runes of Magic, with many more on the horizon, and although they will feel quite familiar to those of you that have player WoW, there are several key differences that you will notice upon completing them. 

Firstly, the Mini-Map has been used to its fullest advantage, as both enemies and items that can be used in quests are displayed. Secondly, all available quests are shown on the Full Map, saving much time otherwise spent searching for something to do all over the world. Thirdly, an Auto-Run feature has been implemented and can be accessed via either the Full Map or the Quest Log to make travelling less of a Burden. And finally, enemies that are required for active quests will show information in the tool-tip displayed when you hover your mouse over them. 

On top of the features already mentioned, Runes of Magic features player housing, limitless crafting options, group-themed dungeons and quests, and a plethora of traditional MMORPG elements that are best experienced firsthand. In summary, Runes of Magic is one of the most accomplished MMORPG titles on the market, and best of all; it’s completely free to play. This isn’t a game you’re going to want to miss.
