Runes of Magic Starts Open Beta In Russia

Frogster’s partner Game Factory Interactive has launched the open beta version of the free to play MMO, Runes of Magic, in Russia today.

Players interested in trying the Russian version of RoM can set up an account on the Russian site. The full client is also available for download from the site, and all characters created on the beta will be carried over to the live game once it launches.

“With the launch of the Russian version, we are broadening the target group for Runes of Magic by hundreds of thousands of potential players in the Eastern European markets. And in Game factory Interactive we have found the ideal partner for the territory.” commented Andreas Weidenhaupt, Chief Licensing Officer of Frogster Interactive Pictures AG and CEO of Frogster Online Gaming GmbH.

Runes of Magic recently hit the one million mark with the English and German client in Europe and North America. A Korean version of the game is in development, along with two further languages.
