RUNES OF MAGIC PATCH 1.9 ‘NAGA’S AWAKENING’ HERALDS SECOND CHAPTER
- Comprehensive Update Marks the Start of ‘Chapter II – The Elven Prophecy’ -
SAN FRANICISCO – August 27, 2009 – Frogster America, Inc. today announced that the first content from the forthcoming second chapter of Runes of Magic is now live with patch 1.9. The Naga are back: After a thousand years of banishment, the snake-like beings have succeeded in passing through the magical wall which once kept them from human civilization. The new content update, ‘Naga’s Awakening,’ doesn’t just tell the story of the start of the Naga invasion, but also at the same time marks the beginning of Runes of Magic’s second chapter, ‘The Elven Prophecy’.
Players can explore the ‘Weeping Coast’ right away. In this swamp territory, adventurers will meet the Naga for the very first time. New quests tell the history of the region and ultimately lead to the bottom of the ocean. In the group dungeon ‘Heart of the Ocean,’ alongside fish people and other ocean dwellers, there lurks a powerful leader of the snake-like beings, ready to seize unwary players. With ‘Naga’s Awakening,’ Frogster has also raised the level cap to 52.
The content update also expands Runes of Magic with more open combat, and a Public Encounter. In ‘Varanas Nightmare,’ up to 150 players can step into nightmare world where the regional capital Varanas is in ruins and under siege by undead skeletons and nightmare beings. At the end of the three stage challenge for experienced player groups, there is an encounter with the Demon Lord himself – this is the first time that the eponymous fiendish lord of the first chapter makes an appearance.
Additional content from the second chapter, ‘The Elven Prophecy,’ including the new Elven classes and NPCs, will be published in the second phase of the launch on September 15th.
