Why do I want a Beta Key to Runs of Magic?

The question is quite simple, but the answer…
Well I am a fan of rpg games and I love most of the single player ones, but they lack the contact with another person and aspects of playing with other people as well as making new friends etc. So mmorpgs are my favorite kind of games, sadly most of them have really poor storyline and even poorer quests. Usually in f2p mmos the plot is just an addition to the killing mobs and quest are addition to the poor plot… and that is why not many mmorpgs f2p or p2p can make me play them for a long time. Runes of Magic got my attention because of the rich storyline and huge amount of quests (600+ from the very beginning + more coming out in the future), but what is more important the developers promised to try and make the quests a bit more interesting, exciting and challenging than “go kill XXX mobs and come back” as it’s the pretty common quest formula in mmos. This is a realy important feature for me as a rpg loving player.

But beside good storyline and quests Runes of Magic have much more interesting features to offer:

Housing – this is an amazing opportunity for bored players who need a bit of rest from killing mobs or questing. Also it’s a great option for all sim games fans. Decorating and “building” your own as well as your guild’s home/castle can be pretty fun and entertaining. But it can be also pretty useful as we can use our house as a personal item storage with the possibility to put our armor and weapons as an decoration on the walls etc., we can let our friends to our house and even let them use our items! I am actually looking forward to try this out.

Crafting/Forging – I really like to be a crafter/forger or w/e we call it, not only I can make weapons or armors for my self but also for friends or guildies what is pretty nice way to “be useful”. It is also a nice way of making money whenever you have some spare time to gather the materials needed for it.

Dual Class System – WOAH now this is something worth mentioning. We can chose one class out of 6 in total, and then later at lvl10 we can pick our second class! In total that’s 36combinations of classes, quite rare for an mmo to give players such an opportunity! If you think like me then actually we got 36classes to chose! Why is that so? knight + priest and u got something like a paladin, there is much more examples. Also this system gives us a fresh look on forming parties and the pvp aspect of game.

PvP – from what I read the amount of pvps is quite crazy not only the usual pking, duel, guild vs guild but also pvp among all the guilds on the server and SERVER VS SERVER! To be honest I have never meet such an option before… Pvp in this game is really giving me the thrill.

Dungeons – I was pretty much surprised when I read that we are going to have instances, static and dynamic(Diablo 2 style so always different) and pvp dungeons! Im especially looking forward for the last two.

Runes – I think this is one of the innovations that makes the whole game just great and close to ideal. First of all thanks to runes we will be able to teleport from place to place. Secondly runes gonna be used to upgrade our items (over 100runes possible to upgrade) and thirdly we will be able to create our own skills and spells with runes! That sounds really amazing and will let us feel why the game is called Runes of Magic.

But aside of the reasons mentioned above I’d really like to join the Closed Beta phase to help the developers make this game even better than it already is. It is really a great pleasure for a truly devoted player to be able to find and report bugs, give some suggestions and ideas and have the knowledge that developers are actually listening and considering our words and that they care for their players and game as much as the staff of Runes of Magic does.
