Runes of Magic's Lands of Despair opens its borders on June 16th
In less than a month, Runes of Magic adventurers will turn the page and begin a whole new chapter in the game's history. Frogster has announced that Chapter IV: Lands of Despair, the latest content update for Runes of Magic, will go live on June 16th. If the name sounds foreboding, it's for a good reason: A horrible plague is spreading through the land, zombies are making a comeback, and Mad Lords are becoming all the rage. The update also includes a whopping four new zones, two additional dungeons, and an odd rivalry between the Dwarves and Rhinos. It's not too late to catch up on all of the details of this exciting update. Check out our writeup of the lore behind Chapter IV, a preview video of two of the upcoming zones, our thoughts on the new starting zone, and our detailed analysis on all of the changes.
Runes of Magic hints at more Chapter IV updates
Testing for Runes of Magic's Chapter IV: Lands of Despair update continues on the game's closed beta servers, at least for two more days. According to a news blurb on the free-to-play fantasy title's website, the patch is nearing the public consumption stage, at which point the masses will thrill to a new instance, new bosses, and various other opportunities for us to use the word new. New hidden battlefields are also in the works, as well as "two previously unknown races with a fierce and ancient rivalry." Dwarves vs. Rhinos might not have the same appeal as pirates vs. ninjas, Yankees vs. Red Sox, or Democrats vs. Republicans, but nonetheless Frogster and Runewaker have some story shenanigans up their respective sleeves for Runes of Magic lore fans. Check out the rather cryptic details at the official RoM website.
