Runes of Magic Invites Players into the Open Beta

Frogster Interactive will open the Runes of Magic servers for all players on Monday, December 15th. With the start of the open beta, MMO interested players can explore the complete content that has been integrated so far into the fantasy MMORPG.

This version is open to all players after a short registration on the official website . All players that have registered so far, without being invited to the closed beta, will receive automatic access to the open beta. All players that are already active in the closed beta will keep their account. Right from the beta start the needed client software can be downloaded already on FileFront and the official website.

To thank all closed beta participants for their help in optimizing the game, a special ingame event beginning December 7th will take place. Darkness will befall Taborea and evil demons will start terrorizing the game world. Accompanying the event, the official website will continuously report about the communities efforts to repel the evil forces. After the final of the event on December 10th, the servers will go offline for last tests. This final test phase is likely to end in the first quarter of 2009 with the release of the title, but all characters that have been played until then will be available to the players after the game has been launched.

Daniel Ullrich, Director of Product Management at Frogster is extremely pleased with the closed beta:

“More than 170,000 registrations from players worldwide shortly before the start of the open beta show us, that we are on the right track with Runes of Magic.”

Interested players can still apply for access to the beta test here.
