    Earlier this month, we had a chance to sit down for a developer tour of the new Weeping Coast area in Runes of Magic. The devs at Frogster were kind enough to walk us through the entire area, making sure to point out key spots along the way. Since we are not able to make it out to GamesCom, this exclusive tour served as a way to show us that same content (and more!) being shown at the German convention.Within the Weeping Coast zone itself, set to go live later this month, there will be much more than just a change of scenery. As you'll see from these 17 new images, we are introduced to new creatures, new instances and tons of new quests. So be sure to follow along in our gallery linked below, and check out the brand new GamesCom trailer after the jump for the upcoming Chapter 2, being released in September.%Gallery-66860%

    August should be a good month for Runes of Magic players, with the release of the Weeping Coast zone, 200 new quests, and a raised level cap of 52. This comes in advance of the September release of Runes of Magic's next major update, Chapter II: The Elven Prophecy. This latest chapter will bring players into the heavily forested Savage Lands, another new zone that's on the way, with charming locales like the Fungus Village. Frogster released a batch of new images for the Savage Lands today which shows off a bit of the environments players will be able to explore next month. Have a look through our gallery for an early glimpse at the new zone.%Gallery-69536%

    Today, Frogster has revealed more information on the newest area included with their free expansion for Runes of Magic coming later this year. The Elven Prophecy arrives this September with much more content, including an entire new race and storyline for the Elves. Of course, with a new race comes a whole new land.To the north lies The Weeping Coast (coming in August), which we've already heard much about, but there are also the areas of Savage Lands, the Elven Island and Aotulia Volcano. While the Savage Lands and the Elven Island are home to the Elves, the Aotulia Volcano is a harsh ash-filled land which is home to a giant volcano that has been spewing lava for 150 years. It is also referred to as the Claw of the Demon Dragon, which hints at a secret lying deep inside the volcano. Check out the new map in our gallery below, as well as more imagery from the Weeping Coast and The Elven Prophecy.%Gallery-66860%%Gallery-65922%
