Runes of Magic introduces horse racing
Filed under: Fantasy, Contests, Culture, Events, in-game, Runes of Magic
Frogster America has announced today the implementation of an all-new horse race minigame in Runes of Magic entitled Windrunner, allowing players to compete against seven others in an obstacle course on horseback. For the price of a few Phirius tokens (obtainable through the completion of daily quests), players will face "treacherous traps full of magic" such as slow-down effects, spider webs or even speed boosters. Winners will receive a pot full of Phirius tokens that can be used both in the game world and in the item shop.
To enter, simply talk to the NPC Michelle Lang in Varanas City for complete instructions. Also be sure to check out the promotional video for the race over at the Runes of Magic main site. Best of luck!

If they just made their character models a little bit better I'd be really happy, The faces kill me.

If you don't play a game because of personal taste with faces you're unlikely to see in the majority of the game. You fail.
The game is fine. In fact it's an amazing FREE game.
If it was pay, dunno how it would stand up though.

I didn't say I did play, if you have no reading comprehension you fail.
I just think that the aesthetics of the player avatars is a bit off and if they made them just slightly better this game would pretty much be the perfect F2P game. As it stands now its the very close to perfect but something little annoys the sit out of me F2P game.

Honestly they seem to be really pushing the envelope trying to break the stereotype of the generic F2P mmo. I just like to see the effort they are putting forward, wish "others" would try new stuff instead of just rehashing the same crap over and over.

Littler better character models and add in more music and environment sounds and it will win me over. RoM has lots of potential, enough where I wont uninstall it even though I don't play it much.
