New MMORPG
Some of you know that for the last couple of years I have played World of Warcraft nightly. I started playing 3 years ago when they were only a couple of months old. I can say that the game has been the best that I have played in a long time but the only issue is there is a $14.99/month fee to go along with it.
I did not have a problem paying the fee when I could get on line nightly but after Jace was born, the change in my career and other changes I do not get the opportunity to play much. It makes it hard to justify the monthly fee if you only get to play once or twice a month.
I have tried other free MMORPG games out on the market and after playing World of Warcraft as long as I have the others just don’t compare. The other night I actually got the opportunity to get on line and I happened to stumble across another MMORPG that is currently in Closed Beta called Runes of Magic. After going through the web site it appears this game is going to be the next best thing to World of Warcraft. It is hard to say right now based on the not knowing how the game play is since it is in closed beta.
The games is scheduled to release to the public either December 9th or 16th, 2008. The game will not have a monthly charge to it and it is free to download. I have posted a video of the user graphical interface below. So far the game kind of reminds me of a cross between Guild Wars and World of Warcraft.
