You thought you've seen all the highlights of the first anniversary celebrations? It's not over yet! Today we're presenting you with another fantastic gift: All Runes of Magic players who have a level 11+ character on a server by 18 March 2010, will receive 100 Rubies on their account.

With these Rubies you can shop for exclusive in-game items which can't even be bought with gold or Diamonds. If you want to buy yourself something nice, please log in within the next 30 days to have the Rubies credited.

It all really began on 19 March 2009!

Thousands of players from all over the world charged at the officially launched Runes of Magic servers and glorious Taborea blossomed and bloomed, grew and thrived.

In the meantime we told the story of the Demon Lord's rise, the endeavor of humans and elves to fulfill the elven prophecy. Now the Demon Lord has been slain and reports of an ancient kingdom where adventure awaits have reached the shores of Taborea.

We, the Runes of Magic Community Managers, would like to take the opportunity to celebrate the first anniversary of Runes of Magic live on the servers with you!

Runes of Magic is soon going to be one year old. It was on the 19th March last year that the open beta phase came to an end and our beloved online role play game went live. Now our players have a week-long jubilee in which to celebrate, accompanied by promotions and an in-game event.

We're firing the starting pistol today:

Frogs are going to be tumbling from the skies all over the game world. Whoever bags one of the scrambling amphibians will receive coins which can be exchanged for valuable items.

On the 19th March only, all adventurers who are logged on will receive an exclusive house pet – a lucky frog. This is the first of its kind which, along with its visual appeal, also has a lucky bonus effect – meaning that owners will have an increased chance of finding rare items in Runes of Magic.

Fireworks for making the Friday celebration of the one year’s existence go with a real bang, complete the gift pack.

In addition, on the coming weekend players will receive three times the amount of Experience and Talent points.

„Fire!“

Amongst the frantic shouting of foot soldiers, the cries of the wounded and the thundering blasts from siege machines all around, the Commanders voice was nearly drowned out.

They were pressed hard, defending the castle with their backs to the wall.

Mages on the balconies made heaven and hell rain on the enemy and archers aiming carefully to hit the attackers were hurt the most and on the ground. Only feet away from the castle's walls, experienced melee fighters - men and women alike - threw themselves right into the fray.

But even with all their magical towers, throwing fire & lightning at the ever-pushing enemy forces, they seemed to lose the battle.

"Protect the throne room at all costs!", the guild leader yelled while decapitating a rogue, who tried to sneak past, with his mighty shield.

It was too late, he knew the outer gates had fallen. Their nodes had been taken by the enemy forces and too many of his guild members had suffered heavily from the impact of powerful siege engines, slowly pushing their way further into their guild's grounds.

Will YOU do better?
