Runes Of Mage - Free MMORPG

So I have decided that I will try some new free MMOs and see what they are all about. This week I decided to download the MMO Runes of Magic and I must say that out of all of the free games it ranks pretty high. This game is very World of Warcraft like and if you are not a fan of that series then you might not want to try it. The great thing about this game? It's free!!! The bad thing about the game? It's free!!! . . Yeah, Runes of Magic is a free MMO but you can easily tell that it is free. Just last night, I log in to play my Fighter character and I am lvl 7. Oh yeah, lvl 7, and I attack a lvl 1 rabbit and I get my face smashed in. The thing had like 6,000 hit points and was hitting me for 2/3 of my entire life per hit. There was a glitch in the game and I hope they have fixed it by now because that was some really rough stuff!

Not only do you level up your characters with new abilities, you also can level up your equipment and increase their power by equipping runes. This is one of the easiest systems I have seen in a game to learn and it makes the game play all the more fun. Just like any good MMO, when you get your new gear it shows on your character.

I enjoy this game, it seems fun to play all of the different classes and the amount of addiction is really non-existent. I don't feel that the game begs me to lvl up my character or rushes me to get through it quickly. The worst part about the game to me is the quest text. Instead of it being uniform and nice, it looks like a badly designed website. The text is really ugly and makes the quests hard to read through without just accepting and hoping you figure it out yourself. The only other downfall to this MMO is the fact that it uses a store where you can purchase items with real cash.
