MMOhut rated it number 1 mmo and the game looks pretty good... what do you guys say? Better than WoW? Is the game overloaded with hackers and/or botters? How often do they update? Is there a p2p version of the game, similar to how runescape used to be (think you could like pay monthly for some benefits i seem to remember)? Any downsides to the game?

Thanks!

I play it and its not the best in my opinion. I did not even saw one hacker since i play and at the beginning it looks good but after a while doing qests and all that stuff it gets boring. You also must pay money for it because its important to get a horse or somthing to move much faster and peopl with a lot of diamonds are always better with eqip +12.

Oh theres botters out there alright. I suggest playing the game if you're going to be one of them. No hackers, although I use "no fall" sometimes to get from point A to B without fighting monsters.


and yes, this is probably the best f2p game out there right now. I would have said Mythos was good but they made it into a grind and bad translation so I have to say ROM still tops all f2p. My opinion comes from pvp of course, cuz thats what games are made for.

no you dont, you just have to rice some gold up

Runes of Magic is an excellent mmorpg which SEVERAL different features which WoW does not have, for example, Dual-Class system(which i assure you is why many people play this mmo), Arcane Transmutor, which allows for customizable gears, etc. The leveling itself is not bad because for the most part it is actually a grindfest, but one thing to keep in mind that it WILL ALWAYS be a grindfest for your end-game gear.



some may say it's better than WoW, others say that it's a WoW immitation. i have not play retail WoW so i cannot give comparison between the two, although i have played on private servers of WoW and it does have a similar feeling.



EXPECT hackers and botters, botters,somewhat, are basically the backbone to the economy in this game... they farm quests item which are then sold on the auction house at a lower price



they have normal server maintenance every tuesday morning, and i'm still fairly new to this game but i have seen a lot of updates/events which corresponds to the upcoming holidays etc.



Runes of Magic, like many other games, offer a cash shop available to those who are willing to spend money to play the game. these cash shop normally give players a big boost as well as another way to make gold(game currency). Keep in mind that this game is filled with people who work, so expect them to be on during primetime and such.

i haven't spend a single dime yet. All you need to do is take the time to do the free offers. created my own guild that way. people ar ejust too lazy to do it tehmselves, so you can sell the free diamonds you get

botting is the way to make money. If you have a good computer, you can probably multiclient 4 windows of ROM. That will get you about 200 golden eggs a night, which is about 1m on most servers.

Then when you get to lvl 55+ you can bot instances (takes some programming) and make 2m a day(24hours) per client. The hard part is having a geared lvl 55 to do this though.

why not lvl 62?

thank you for all the replies! i recently finished DLing it just waiting for the 2309482309481209 updates... this is making me dizzy

you might have to close the rom update window if it seems like its repeating. then start it up again.
