MMOCrunch.com writes "Most F2P titles are just that, free-to-play, but they offer objects for players to purchase. Often these items are purely cosmetic, such as extra costumes, character customization options or non-stat armor modifications. However, there are items that are more than cosmetic or "convenient" to own in today's MMORPGs. Especially for those who want to be in the title's upper echelon. The cost of those useful items are why we are here."
Gameforge wants to maintain a level playing field for users and mitigate any P2W elements that may disrupt the integrity of Runes of Magic.
A lot has happened in gaming, especially free-to-play gaming, over the last decade. Nobody could predict just how prevalent it’s become, and how some of the biggest games on the planet – League of Legends, Fortnite: Battle Royale, World of Tanks, and more – are all free-to-play.
Gameforge — the leading publisher of popular free-to-play multiplayer online games including Guardians of Ember, SoulWorker, Aion, and Metin2 — celebrates the 10th anniversary of renowned developer Runewaker’s popular free-to-play MMORPG, Runes of Magic on March 19.
