It's the latest entry in the genre that's so crowded it's sometimes hard to tell which game is which. In this case the genre is the free-to-play MMO and the game is Runes of Magic. After a open beta launched last December for the fantasy themed game Runes of Magic is officially open as of today.

Developed by Taiwan-based Runewaker and published by Frogster, the game enters its first phase with the chapter titled Rise of the Demon Lord. People who participated in the open beta can still use their characters and they will find that Runes of Magic has an expanded game world now that it its officially launched. More updates and expansions are already planned and will be released in four to five month intervals. Frogstar has launched a subsidiary in the US, Frogster America, that will handle Runes of Magic servers and accounts in our territory.

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.
