Runes of Magic is a free-to-play fantasy MMORPG developed by a company called Runewalker, and brought to European player by Frogster. We don't often review free to play games – after all they're free, so it doesn't cost you anything except a few minutes, and a few hundred MegaBytes of download allowance, to try them out. Runes of Magic is something of a special case, however. The game is very broad, and quite weighty. The full install is a 3.4GB download so it's not the most friendly game for people on a capped broadband connection!
Gameforge wants to maintain a level playing field for users and mitigate any P2W elements that may disrupt the integrity of Runes of Magic.
A lot has happened in gaming, especially free-to-play gaming, over the last decade. Nobody could predict just how prevalent it’s become, and how some of the biggest games on the planet – League of Legends, Fortnite: Battle Royale, World of Tanks, and more – are all free-to-play.
Gameforge — the leading publisher of popular free-to-play multiplayer online games including Guardians of Ember, SoulWorker, Aion, and Metin2 — celebrates the 10th anniversary of renowned developer Runewaker’s popular free-to-play MMORPG, Runes of Magic on March 19.
Sounds like an OK game for free to play, don't like the idea of downloading it only to find it doesn't run though. Has anyone tried it and had the same problem the reviewer did?
