In Taborea the winter is slowly receding – reason enough for all of the inhabitants to celebrate in appropriate style. During March everyone is being invited to a new in-game event the ‘Masked Ball’ fancy dress party.

Legend tells of the barbarians of Candara long being afflicted by cruel fate, above all when the winter comes and the land starves under the bitter cold. When the weather finally warms, they celebrate with great abandon in prospect of a rich harvest for the newly arrived year. All of the barbarians appear dressed up at this community event of the year and try to forget the hard days of ice in one great rollicking party.

Our players are most heartily invited to take part in the celebrations. Daily quests and a game world decorated for the spring awaits adventurers of all peoples and all levels. As a reward beckon artfully ornamented masks, transformation potions and all sorts of goodies such as, for example, cakes or fruits that will restore Life points in the wink of an eye.

The ‘Masked Ball’ will launch with the next update patch which will be deployed across the servers in March.

The "Find the Runewalker" event has now come to an end and the final winners have been chosen! On Thursday and Friday, two players managed to successfully challenge the Runewalker and thus won €1,000 each. Moreover, one more winner was randomly chosen among those who logged in during the event, and he or she will also receive a nice cheque! Those three winners will be contacted directly by us in the next 24 hours.

We would like to thank you for taking part in this event and hope you enjoyed it, even if you didn’t manage to catch a glimpse of the Runewalker! We have other events planned for you over the coming few months, so keep an eye on the official website and forums!

You would like other to pay for your Diamonds? Now we got exactly the right payment method for you: Sponsorpay! They pay for your Diamonds and all you have to do is invest some time: Participate in a survey or inform yourself about new products and Sponsorpay will take care that your account will be rewarded with free Diamonds.

And here's how it works: Log-in to the "Charge Diamonds"-page, select the server you want to have your Diamonds credited to and select "free diamonds" as payment method. Then simply follow the instructions on the page. Please ensure to read the sponsor's terms and conditions carefully.

In connection to the changes to diamond purchases with credit cards earlier this month, we have made an additional change to the payment system: Diamonds bought with either Credit Cards or PayPal can now only be used to equip your character with purchases from the Item Shop. They can no longer be used for buying presents from the shop or be traded through the Auction House.

You can find more information on all available payment methods and their usage on our updated "Diamond Trade"-webpage.

Note: All Diamonds bought before 23 December 2009, 18:00h CET / 5pm GMT can be used 30 days after their purchase without limitation.

Great offers for the holidays

We’ll be giving you presents over the Christmas period, not just in the game, but also we’ll be spoiling you in the Item shop too with some exclusive offers and discounts.

So from 17:00 CET / 4pm GMT on 23rd December 2009 up until 16:00 CET / 3pm GMT on 11th January, you can not only count on a 30 percent discount on the top six best sellers, you’ve also go the chance to get yourself dressed up in the spirit of the festive season with exclusive Snowflake Festival costumes.

Most fittingly for the outfit, you’ll also find the popular Royal Reindeer Mount and much more.

Exclusively during the Christmas holidays there will also be some daily special offers, chosen by the whole of the Runes of Magic community!

As though that wasn‘t enough, between 17:00 CET / 4pm GMT On 21st December and 23:59 CET / 10:59pm GMT on 27th December, there will be up to 60% discount on our premium item packages.

Now and in the future we will keep up our efforts to keep the world of Taborea a save and friendly place to stay.

In the course of our efforts we have to make a minor change to our billing system today. As some may have heard recently a large amount of credit card data has been stolen in Spain and the US. To protect us and our players we have made the decision that all Diamonds bought with a credit card can be used after a waiting time of 30 days before they can be traded through the auction house or used to send other players gifts through the Item Shop. There is no waiting time when you are buying items from the Item Shop for your character.

More information on this can be found on our updated "Diamond Trade"-webpage.
