Runes of Magic

Runes of Magic is a free-to-play fantasy-adventure massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) developed by Runewaker Entertainment and published by Gameforge. Set in the fantasy world of Taborea, where your hero will embark on a epic journey, exploring the world, battling monsters and completing many quests.

"Taborea was born when Ayvenas began recording his visions of an extraordinary world in a book. As he wrote, the god created peaceful races and idyllic lands for them to inhabit. But, as we all know, a happy story is a boring story, so one day he had a thought that would prove very dangerous indeed: 

“What if the story weren’t so peaceful?” 

This insidious thought so consumed him that he began painting Taborea in a darker palette of colours: Wise men became fools, gentle elves developed brutal tendencies and gracious dwarves were spoilt with greed. Even the provisions intended to protect the creatures of Taborea were twisted and corrupted. 

Ayvenas recognised the gravity of his interference in a world no longer under his control, so he decided to let the Taboreans write their own ending to the story. He tore the unwritten pages into pieces and scattered them across the land – and thus began a new era."

There are currently 3 races to pick (Humans, Elves and Dwarves) with a total of 10 classes available

(Warrior, Scout, Rogue, Mage, Priest, Knight, Druid, Warden, Champion, and Warlock). Not all classes are available to every race, and some classes are only exclusive to your race. These are: Knight for Human only, Warden and Druid for Elves only, Champion and Warlock for Dwarves only.

Runes of Magic, in many ways is very similar to World of Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment, both visual and gameplay is almost identical. However, Runes of Magic has a unique feature that differentiates it to not only World of Warcraft, but many other popular MMORPG's. That feature is called "multi-class", allowing you to select a primary class and a secondary class. This will give the player more customization of their character. For example, a Warrior focusing on high damage will go for a Warrior/Mage or Warrior/Rogue.

Runes of Magic can be played directly from a web browser or downloaded as a standalone client. Windows is the only supported operating system for both client and web browser version.
