Frogster released yesterday a new Spellborn-based web mini-game. It’s region free, so anyone in the world can play it… and since our Acclaim beta is a week overdue (raise your hand if you’re surprised. What, no hands?), this is about the best we can do to sate the Spellborn craving…
I dunno if this will work on my blog, but it might! You can also play it at its official home if you like.

I’m horrible at killing bunnies. I think the best I got was like 350. gah. 🙂
By the way, Tipa, will you be trying out Runes of Magic? The open beta starts today and I’ll be checking it out later on. A few things caught my eye about it — it has housing; it has dual classes; it allows you to dabble in all the trade skills but you have to pick and choose which ones to get to the next tier in this way (copy-pasted from another site):
Profession system allow you to learn and handle all the professions at the apprentice level, but there’s a frontier between each level and you’ll have to choose wisely.
* Apprentice : all professions can be learned at the Apprentice level.
* Craftsman : only 6 of the professions can be learned at the Craftsman level.
* Specialist : only 3 of the professions can be learned at the Specialist level.
* Master : Only one of the professions can be learned at the master level.
So, at the final step, you can be :
* Master in one profession.
* Specialist in two professions.
* Craftsman in three professions.
* Apprentice in the remaining professions (three or four depending of what’s already in game).
Professions can be split in two categories : collecting and crafting.
* Collecting family
Those activities are the settlement of the profession system. Without grabbing the basic materials you can’t craft anything.
* mining : all sorts of minerals, useful for armors and more.
* wood cutting : all sorts of wood, useful for weapons and more.
* fishing : all sorts of fish, used for advanced recipes.
* herb grabbing : all sorts of plants, useful for cooking, alchemy and more.
* …
* Crafting family
* blacksmith : weapon maker
* armor : armor maker
* lumber : equipment maker
* cooking : special preparations maker
* alchemy : potions maker
* tailoring : clothes maker
* …
I’ve watched a few videos and the housing, classes, etc. look rather interesting. Of course I may hate it within the first five minutes of going in, but it appears to be pretty well-done.
I like a lot of Runes of Magic from what I’ve seen of it. Frogster — the same people publishing Spellborn in Asia and Europe — has done a fantastic job in bringing this Asian WoW-hybrid to the West. I’d like to try it, but don’t know if I’ll have the chance. I think Runes was more meant for people with a greater WoW background who’s curious about Asian MMOs, but doesn’t want to drown themselves in something like Lineage 2 or DOMO, quite yet 🙂 Runes won’t have RMT (if I remember right), but will be free to play. Not quite sure how they’re going to make money on that. Games where I can’t tell how they are making money make me nervous.
No, they do have RMT. 🙂 There’s an ingame shop, though I haven’t seen it because the servers aren’t open yet. There’s also a link on the website where you can purchase/top up “diamonds” … which I’m assuming is the RMT currency.
Ah, okay 🙂 Thanks! I guess I remembered it wrong. Always good to know how they are planning on paying for it.
