The peasants are begging for Spellborn? Let them kill bunnies!

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
