Frogster
Expands Runes of Magic
Ravenfell Zone Opens Today
Frogster America, Inc. today
announced that just three weeks after the launch of Runes of Magic, the
Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) that is redefining the
standard for free-to-play titles, the company is already expanding the game
world with a new zone. The previously announced high-level zone, Ravenfell is
now open and available for adventurers to explore.
The newly launched update adds new
features including challenges for level 45-50 players in a Caribbean setting,
bringing Runes of Magic’s total quest-count up to more than 1,600 quests.
Additionally the ‘Ruins of the Ice Dwarf Kingdom’ dungeon will challenge
mid-level players, sending them to the forgotten fortress of the Ice Dwarves.
Offering something of a change from levelling and collecting equipment, the
‘Wind-Runner Races’ are already live as the second mini-game in the fantasy
world of Taborea. Level 35 and above heroes can look forward to new elite skills
which will further expand their dual class abilities.
However, there are features for new
players as well. A completely redesigned tutorial eases the path for budding
heroes as they enter the game world. The update also optimizes the localization
of area, item and quest text.
The new features seamlessly
join up with the content that was implemented for launch, such as the high-level
instance, ‘Kalin Shrine.’ There is also a new dungeon, ‘Treasure Trove’ which is
set to appear in the near future. You can find out more about the current
content as well as comprehensive patch notes, on the official Runes of Magic
