Posted by Keith Cross on Jan 09, 2009  | 13 comments in our forums

Frogster has announced that the player population of Runes of Magic, their free top play fantasy MMO, has reached 300,000. The game is currently in Open Beta and is scheduled to officially launch in March.

BERLIN and SAN FRANCISCO - January 8, 2009 - Frogster America today announced that in less than a month, the population of its highly anticipated free-to-play MMORPG Runes of Magic, has already surpassed 300,000 players. The steady population growth will enable Frogster to continuously update and polish the game during the run up to its formal launch in March 2009.

"Frogster would like to thank our dedicated community for their constructive feedback since the beginning of the open beta," said Daniel Ullrich, Director of Product Management at Frogster Interactive. "With the development of the launch content almost complete, it's now up to the community to do their part in giving us feedback to make the game great. Runes of Magic is their game and we want to make sure the new content and features we are creating continually add to the excitement and fun in the world."

During the festive break, Runes of Magic convinced critics and won several prestigious awards from the games media. After declaring Runes of Magic as the best free-to-play game of Show at the Games Convention 2008 in August, TenTonHammer.com named Runes of Magic "Surprise Hit 2008". The editors of Mmorpg-planet.com selected Runes of Magic as the "Best Free MMORPG of 2008" and it was the only free-to-play title to be nominated for MMORPG.com's upcoming "Most anticipated Game of 2009" Readers Choice award.
