Runes of Magic News - Have The Look and Stats Too!
Posted by Jon Wood on Jun 30, 2009 | 1 comments in our forums
Runes of Magic has a feature that lets people not only get the best rated gear, but also look how they want.
You’ve raided and raided, spent months in PvP, farmed and sold drops, poured hour upon monotonous hour into reaching level cap collecting and hunting down the best of the best gear for your class. Whether weeks, months, or even years later, this is what you’ve been working so hard for. The time is near, just one more raid; one more piece of equipment to completion and you will be hailed alongside the others to be crowned one of the best. You will be elite.
The time has come; you have the gear, decked out from massive head to massive toe. It’s time to make your entrance into the hallowed halls. You are tingling with excitement and anticipation of showing off your giant glowing weapons and shiny armor. You’ve even cleaned the crumbs from your desk, loaded up your favorite heart-pumping music and put on a clean pair. As you start strutting around your favorite MMORPG’s gathering spot, you notice something. No one really cares, but more disturbingly, as you prepare to snap that screenshot alongside the others, you realize it doesn’t really make a great screenshot. Why are you not more excited? Deep down the answer slowly surfaces like a kraken out of the cold unfriendly depths of the ocean.

I don't just write about Runes of Magic, I really enjoy playing it.
I was really intrigued by this system, and thought that the Triple-A titles like Vanguard, Everquest 2, and WoW should adopt a similar system.
It seems at once simple and complex at the same time; to offer a level of gameplay to existing games where players go on "quests" to hunt down the perfect look for their character on top of going after the best gear.
