It's just a few more days until Christmas but the folks at Frogster and their new subsidiary Frogster America have now given MMO fans an early present; the launch of the open beta test for Runes of Magic, their new free-to-play fantasy MMO (the game's web site even has a Christmas theme now).

As we reported last week, Frogster America was created in part to serve as the US base for Runes of Magic which is being developed by Taiwan-based Runewaker Entertainment. The game has a number of US based servers as well as its own forum for players to discuss the game. The game itself features six character classes to choose from and its dual-class system allows players to pick a secondary class when they reach level 10 in the game for a total of 36 possible combinations.
