Runes of Magic open beta begins News

MMO PC News by Oli Welsh

15 December, 2008

Free-to-play fantasy MMO Runes of Magic has entered open beta testing, opening its gates to all comers.

As you can read in our preview, Runes of Magic is a fairly slick entry in the wild world of free MMOs, with dual classes, player housing, a flexible equipment system, and a style strongly influenced by World of Warcraft.

All of the game's features go live in this open beta phase - including the item shop, where you can buy items for real money. Sounds more like a soft launch to us.

You can register and download the game at the Runes of Magic website.

Looks interesting, I'll give it a whirl!

Although I did get bored of Florensia after a while. Maybe this one can hold my interest.

What possesses people to give their games such utterly nondescript names?

Yeah, looks interesting but it is not for free. Maybe i missed something but if i wanna have account i have to buy diamonds for at least 5 Euro. And this for a beta??

So if i am mistaken please tell me how to avoid this cause i really wanna give it a try without paying before playing.

nope you dont have to pay. The micro transaction system is for if you want to buy unique stuff in game. But as with all F2Ps you really dont have to if you just going to have a mess about it in.
