Anyone playing/played Runes Of Magic?

[Joecool]

A few of us are giving it a try. Wondering if anyone else has tried it. It is a Free MMO.

I played it for a little while. It is pretty fun. But I've switched over to The Chronicles of Spellborn after trying the beta. The more active combat kind of hooked me in I think.

yea , i patched mine up last week to check it out for a few hours and i got hooked. not sure why as it's the same as a lot of MMOs.

i guess once the "new car smell" wares off it'll collect dust in my storage folder.


multi classing seems fun though

I did like the multiclassing aspect of RoM. The only thing that sucked is that they didn't seem to do a great job at making sure there was synergy between the various classes. It seemed like if you didn't mix a certain few classes together that you ended up with a bit of a worthless combo. It's been a few months since I played, so maybe they've improved on that?

[roob]

nah , apparently on the forums it seems the same thing is being mentioned over and over.

M/P seems to be the ultra combo to play unless you have a set group you always play with.

K/M is apparently another great combo (or anything with mage in it apparently )

Played it for a while with a rogue/priest, level 30/28 I think. It is a pretty nice game, but got a bit tired of all the "kill X of Y" quests, so I have that one on hold for now.

In that case, you better not play any mmorpg that was released this millenium, (the ones last millenium don't even have quests), or probably any for the next 5-10years... hehehe

it has a little bit of crafting and that usually keeps me interested.

atm i'm 10/11 m/p and i'm getting owned when a bunch of npcs get on me.

i think k/p would be a better spec for soloing and survival.


there's a bunch of new quests that i picked up when i went through the 2nd time once i got my secondary class. so not sure if some of the quests are class flagged or that they don't show till after you pick your 2nd class ??
but it was good that i didn't have to grind on daily quests.

from 1-10 there's more quests than i could do on both my mage and my priest.


i was reading about enchanting on the forums and it sounds pretty complex (so it has me interested). but requires a lot of AT charges you either buy with diamonds or those daily quest tokens. so i'm not ready for that yet.


guild castles and housing sound cool from what i read on the forums and the little i saw in game.


i gave the client to Lurch on the weekend. so i reckon he and his brother will be doing that as well for a couple weeks. maybe we'll make a guild or something


all in all, it's not totally original. but there's a couple things they have done that make you wonder why the "big names" never thought of that.

I wonder if we should get a TOG guild going?

from the forums:

How to make a guild!

Items you need.

-100k to make your guild
-4 other players

Items you dont have to have right away but need when you decide to make your guild larger.

-Money to make your guild flag (30k)
-Extra money to upgrade (depending on each lvl you go up)

(Note: *You can be any lvl to make a guild*)

Once you have finally teleported, walk all the way at the end of the room to the NPC, Guild Establishment Administrator. Click on the NPC with a party of three including yourself and pay the fee of 100k.

(Note: *that the party members does not have to be with you when you form your guild.*)

After paying the administration fee, this will give you a temporalry guild. Then, you have to find four other players who are also not in a guild to join yours. When four players have joined your guild, go back to the Guild Establishment Administrator to upgrade to a full guild.

How to get a guild castle!

You need guild lvl 7 first. Getting guild lvl 7 you just need to donate resources to your guild and upgrade. After getting guild lvl 7 you need to gather 15k herbs, 15k wood, 15k ore and donate 350k gold to the guild to build your castle. (doesnt matter what kind of mats you gather as long as its herbs, wood and ore.) After donating your building mats to the guild you just visit the Guild Manager npc in Varanas either on west or east wing right beside the housekeeper then click on I want to build a castle.

Then you are done and successfully build your guild castle! Congratulations!

i'd be keen to have a ToG guild in the game. i'm on the english server that starts with M. not sure what other servers people are on.
