Runes of Magic

Runes of Magic

A free to play MMO
You can pay money to buy gems which are used to purchase items. Some of these items are rent only which makes it a monthly fee style attitude without actually being monthly.

It looks like your everyday Fantasy game, with only two classes to choose from, Elves and Humans.


CLASS
Where Runes of Magic tends to stand out is that you are leveling two classes on one character instead of just one. Yes when you reach level 10 on your first choice you are allowed to pick another class based on your race.

This second class is something you think will compliment your first one, as select skills from one class crossover to the other one. But only when that character reaches the level of the when your other class gained it. So you could have a dual wielding priest, because of your rogues dual wielding ability.

There is no talent tree, but each kill or level you gain points that you put towards an ability to level it up and make it stronger.

This ability is for those who have hard times deciding on the class they want to play so they can just switch to the other and go off playing that. Still knowing they have some of the abilities from the other class helping them.

Classes in game: Warrior, Scout, Rogue, Mage, Priest, Warden, Druid
Some are only available to one race.

Professions
The professions are some you find in any game, from your blacksmith to woodworking. Best part is you can take up all of them if you want to, you'll just be investing a large sum of time doing them. They may not seem to be adequate in use age, but as you turn to that second class you can have access to items that will help power up that class.

Other parts
Leveling has been increased to 60, so that gives you enough time to enjoy the game and explore. I guess technically it's 120 as you are leveling for two.

The graphics are nothing spectacular but still don't detract from the game. You also have a variety of mounts to choose/buy from. And these mounts can be pretty large in the size area.

You have a large amount of quests to complete; some you will not complete your first round or want to as you will leave these for your second class to complete to help level up.

You have your own house as well, which can be decorated and enlarged as you see fit. With the adequate in game and out game money to help this.

Grouping is out there and needed for some areas. As monsters can seem to be to overpower to be placed in that area. But still some skip those quests in favor of the continual solo grind. Which is sad as socialization in games has turned sour, beyond the zone wide yelling and name calling.
