The Demon Lord - even before he enters the world of Runes of Magic - makes his first appearance on the big screen. Today we present the world's first Runes of Magic - Rise of the Demon Lord Cinematic Trailer

We really don't want to lose many words about this - it's gorgeous - and we want to let the images speak for themselves.

Release Planning

On Wednesday, 18 March 2009 the European Runes of Magic servers will be taken offline to make a few last preparations for release. We don't want to leave the Open Beta without a bit of fun so we have prepared a little End-of-Beta fun event.

During the downtime we have to take the website and forum down as well - for a bit of... ah... you will see when we're back.

We are looking forward, welcoming old and new players alike on Thursday, 19 March 2009, when Runes of Magic starts into a new era with Chapter 1: Rise of the Demon Lord!
