One of the most anticipated free-to-play MMORPGs (massive multi-player online role playing game) of 2008 was Runes of Magic. This game was officially released on the last quarter of 2008 to the global community. Some time soon, Runes of Magic will hit the Philippine shores. This game will be under the publishing of IP E-Games.
Runes of Magic revolves around the lands of Taborea. At first glance, you'd see a slight similarity with WoW (World of Warcraft) on this one. This is because the makers of this game, the Taiwan-based Runewaker Entertainment, were pretty much big fans of WoW. That kind of affected how their game looked and feel. However, Runes of Magic offers some unique features into the MMORPG genre - most especially, the Dual Class System. With this, Philippine online gamers can choose to have two classes of their preference - a primary and secondary class. There are a number of classes to choose from within Runes of Magic - Warrior, Rogue, Scout, Mage, Priest, Knight, and the two new classes, Druid and Warden. There are a large number of possibilities that this game will yield. Approximately, there are 30 combinations that gamers can come up using the main six classes. It offers a good open space for gamers to utilize for character development.
Philippine gamers will surely appreciate the unique style of Runes of Magic Online. Right now, it is under Alpha testing and pretty much soon this will be on Closed and Open Beta. The IP E-games website for Runes of Magic Philippines still features 2 videos and a registration button. According to IP E-Games, they will be releasing announcements for online Philippine CBT and OBT sometime this month. Hopefully, our Philippine gamers can enjoy this astounding game by the holidays.
