Runes of Magic (RoM) is a free massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Taiwanese developer Runewaker Entertainment and adapted for the English and German speaking market by German company Frogster Interactive. After going through an open beta phase, the game was launched on 19 March, 2009 and Chapter II - The Elven Prophecy was launched on 15 September, 2009 and the next Chapter III 'The Elder Kingdoms' will be available from May 2010. The game client is free to download, and there is no monthly subscription fee, because the service is funded by real money transactions (RMT) in the Runes of Magic Item Shop.

Dungeons The game's dungeons are split into three types; large player-versus-player open-world dungeons, small instances for six players and large instances for thirty six players. There is also a 120 player dungeon under the first main city Varanas.
Reception Runes of Magic has received generally positive reviews.
Runes of Magic has been compared to World of Warcraft and also referred to as a clone,[5][4] but Eurogamer's Daniel Etherington discounted this and stated the view "misses the point."[5] Wesley Yin-Poole of Videogamer.com stated "The guys at Runewaker have clearly constructed Runes of Magic with World of Warcraft running in the background."[4] He stated that despite being "somewhat of a WoW clone" and free-to-play, Runes of Magic contains elements which World of Warcraft does not, and that the latter's developers "would do well to consider."[4] Online gaming website Massively's Shawn Schuster highlighted the range of crafting abilities in the game, as well as the ability to gain proficiency in them all without penalties. "Runes of Magic has these features we see in a triple-A MMO, yet it's a free-to-play RMT-based game."
According to Frogster 20,000 players created 100,000 characters on the first day of the game's open beta; December 15, 2008,[7][8] rising to 450,000 characters by February 2009.[9] On May 14, 2009, Frogster announced that one million users in Europe and North America have registered to play Runes of Magic.[10] On October 7, 2009, after the launch of chapter II, they announced that Runes of Magic had exceeded two million registered users.
