MMORPG.com Managing Editor Jon Wood had the opportunity recently to ask a few questions of Matthias Fellinger, the Product Manager for Runes of Magic about the upcoming Chapter 2 expansion to the F2P game.

MMORPG.com:

How much land mass does this expansion add to the game compared to what was there before?

Matthias Fellinger:

Looking at the new world map we released a few days ago, you can see that the new areas we are adding with Chapter II are huge. For example, the Aotulia Volcano is almost the size of Sascilia Steppes and Dragonfang Ridge combined! And then there are the rainforest area of the Savage Lands and the new starting area, the Elven Island.

The release of Chapter II itself will be something new as well. We are already releasing content f the new chapter in August by opening the new zone Weeping Coast zone, packed with a massive amount of new quests, and we are raising the level cap to 52. So all of our players will get a taste of Chapter II before launch and can prepare for the big release with lots of new content in September.
