This is one free MMORPG I'm looking forward too,yes I know you guys are going to say free ones are crap but sooner or later there's bound to be a decent one,to be honest a lot of the paid subscription MMORPGs have been disappointing so with a freebie there's nothing to lose except a little bit of your time.

Free housing and duel class system looks cool,there's a lot of features in the game I find interesting.

Open Beta is supposed to be around 9th Dec so not long to go before we can all try the game.

FAQs
Yes there is PvP as well as PvE.

From what I have read level cap is supposed to be 50,you can level even your secondary class to 50( if you decide to go duel class)


PC requirements/game settings FAQ .

Requirements and Game Settings FAQ


(If you have an integrated Intel GPU the game might not run at all. Read on for more info on how to find out)


This is a revised version of my Game Settings Discussion thread from the general chat. I figured it belonged here, revised to be a bit more concise. Hopefully this helps anyone determine if they will be able to run the game effectively and give them a better understanding of the settings available (I cant give away more information than is here due to NDA).

Minimum Requirements
CPU: AMD 2500 + or above INTE Pentium 4 - 2.0GHz
Memory: 512MB
Video Card*: 128M memory Nvidia GeForce 5700 or **ATI Radeon 9600 (someone confirmed running it at minimum settings on an ATI Radeon 9550 SE)
Hard disk space: 3GB
DirectX: 9.0c
*Integrated Intel GPUs have issues with games. They are designed for economy not performance and cause issues with games. There is a good chance the game wont run on Intel GPUs.
**The only requirements we could find listed the ATI Radeon 6200 which doesnt actually exist. The 9600 is the equivilant of the GeForce 5700 so we will go with this for now.

Guild list(quite a big list)



UPDATE: Official live launch is tomorrow March 19th.
 
I got into closed beta,however I can't say anything detailed about my RoM experience due to NDA,I can say that the game supports widescreen and I like the game so far 🙂.


Btw if you want a closed beta key head over here.
 
Will this be one of the free games but to actually have anyway to survive you have to pay a few hundred dollars for items?

Also where are the servers located?

I am tired of the games where the server is located in China like most of these free games and the majority of the players don't speak English and you can't party with them.

I have to be careful what I say here due to NDA,however I can tell you I saw more players in Runes Of Magic Closed Beta then I did in Warhammer Online retail,there are a lot of English players chatting away on the chat menu,there is more then one server.

Btw the game runs fine on my Vista x64 🙂 .
 
Dev chat log over@MMORPG.COM.


Kerensky: Yes. We are already scheduling monthly (smaller) updates - there will be new dungeons, quests or maybe just stuff for the shop.

Kerensky: And we are planning for quaterly add-ons - which then will add a significant amount out new stuff and content. This might be new races, zones or such.

Kerensky: We will announce more at a later date because right now we want to release the game first. 😉

Question: vinn asks, "What sort of PvP content are you planning to add? Arenas? BG's? We know, that there will be Server vs Server PvP -- could you tell us something more? How often SvS will be? Will there be any PvP Armor Sets?"

Kerensky: Runes of Magic will have a lot of PvP modes: Open PvP, PvP Zones, Arena fights, open guild vs. guild, instanced guild vs. guild, reputation pvp, battlegrounds, castle sieges and server vs. server vs. server.

Kerensky: We will not be able to release all these pvp modes right in or shortly after the Open Beta but we'll add more and more PvP content like with any other content too.

Ouch, looks like more of a WoW clone than Warhammer. They even copied the art direction. Honestly, they could get sued with that level of rip off.

I hope you enjoy the game, but if I dislike WoW, I don't think I'll enjoy a game that looks exactly like it.

When I first saw the game it reminded me of WAR/WoW/EQ2 ,many aspects from those.
 
I tried downloading it last night and it failed. Have it going again today, hopefully I can maintain a connection long enough to download it (I found a faster download site so I probably will this time).

I had no problem with Gamershell for downloading the client,infact downloaded twice for two differrent PCs.

You have 13 different direct download links so I'm sure you'll find one that works well for you 😉.

Well the first one was going at < 100 k/s so it was going to take 8-9 hours. Not surprisingly the connection dropped sometime during the night and messed up the download. I tried a different one before I left for work and it was > 500 k/s so I think it has a much better chance.
 
just notice there is a lot of chinese in the game... traditional chinese...so i have no problem reading them... i'm suprised, i thought the game is european (germany).

The art work is a little different than wow/war - wow is quite a lot more cartoony and war is a bit more polished - but all 3 share the same theme - fantasy based.

 
Runescape in 3DDDDddddddd! (voice effect).

In all seriousness it looks VERY nice for a free game, but we shall have to see about the grind which has driven me out of every MMO that I've tried so far.

I did not see many Chinese,infact I would say it was English,Germans,Dutch mainly,guess it depends on the server.

I don't know what you mean by that,all I can say is for a free game it offers a lot and player population is very good ingame,I expect that to increase once it goes live around 9th Dec.
 
I like it so far, the RTS style controls are interesting (even though they are much slower than the normal way which you can also use if you prefer)
 
Is there a D&D-based MMORPG anywhere? I'm itching to get into an MMORPG but the time required to invest in learning all the specifics of the game are frightening to me... that and teh fact that I don't have a lot of time to spend anymore.

I've heard it isn't that good though, but they have a 10 day trial so give it a go if you want.
