The free to play MMORPG Runes of Magic from Frogster Interactive is inviting one and all to participate in their open beta, which you can download here on FileFront. In addition, today they announced the addition of mounts and pets.
Like most MMORPGs, mounts not only allow for faster traveling, but they also are a status symbol for players. In Runes of Magic, they can be rented for a period of time from merchants for in-game currency and instead of waiting until you level up, this option is accessible for players right from character level one. Lifetime mounts are also to me made available at the item shop.
As far as pets go, there are many to choose from. Goblins, cats, wolves, and funny looking and exotic pets like a small (but adorable) Grim Reaper will follow the player around in the game. These little companions can rarely be found in the loot of defeated enemies but if you are the impatient sort, you can always use the item-shop to get pets or mounts for a trail period or for a lifetime.
You can view screens of the pets you can acquire in Runes of Magic by visiting the Runes of Magic game page here. You will notice that cute little Grim Reaper, a wolf, some big armored thingie and an ostrich looking bird as well as the prerequisite horse posted above.
These free mmo’s are never worth playing. Light in content, heavy in grinding.
1) Move into mob field and grind.
2) Level.
3) Move onto next mob field and grind.
4) Level.
5) Rinse and repeat.
The korean mmo’s are the worst offenders for extremely agonising wastes of time. I smell and epic failure. You get what you pay for. Something for nothing = nothing most of the time in this genre.
^ I fail to see any difference between free mmo’s and paid mmo’s then.
…and mathematically speaking, something for nothing is a figure of speech, unable to be quantified in a way such as to make it equal zero…
