A game that is said to be a "WoW clone" but is not a complete copy. It is typically abbreviated with "RoM', and is set in a continent called Taborea. This game has
WoW-like graphics and a similar feel while playing, but is not quite the same. There are no race options in RoM, but there will be in September, 2009, as they will be introducing the "Elf" race, along with two new class choices. The only race at the moment is
Human. There are currently
six classes to choose from, being: Warrior, Knight, Mage, Priest, Scout, and Rogue. In September, 2009, there will be two more classes introduced to the game being the Warden and Druid. These will be released with the expansion: RoM Chapter Two: The Elven Prophecy. One
awesome feature RoM has that
WoW does not is their Dual Class System, similar to that of the one in guild wars, only much
better! Another very good thing about RoM is that the majority of the community is friendly, unlike on
WoW. Another good thing is that there is no Alliance Vs. Horde bullshit, as everyone is independent until they join a guild, and there are no sides. The last, and most important good thing RoM has going for it that
WoW does not, is that RoM is both F2D and F2P
FOREVER!
Friend: "Want to go buy the WotLK expansion for
WoW?"
Me: "No man, I quit
WoW. Now I play Runes of Magic. It is just as good, but it is free forever! :D"
Friend: "Well screw
WoW then! Lets go play Runes of Magic!"
