Ever since the MMO genre started to bloom and certain titles such as World of Warcraft have laid their claim on the market, a lot of developers have been trying to come up with ideas of making games that can stand out just as much, or at least capitalize on the Blizzard title's success. This trend eventually gave birth to a MMORPG sub-genre mockingly known as "WoW-clones," since most of them started as nothing more than cheap knock-offs on the game. Runes of Magic is a rare example of a game that started as a "WoW clone," yet evolved in a way that made it stand out on its own, eventually making a name for itself in the gaming community.

There is no industrialized city, no technology or any grey colors in this game since regardless of the area, the fantasy theme could never be more present. This is showcased through extravagant settings, monsters, the colors used, the wild plant life and the ambient music, making this game look like WoW with the fantasy factor put in overdrive.

While the character customization settings pale in front of today's !!! games, you can make your character unique nonetheless, with some even praising the graphics for being more friendly on their dated PC systems. You can currently choose between three races, and customize the way they look through a variety of features, from hairdo to body proportions or body presets.

Some games usually force you to choose a class with which you may have to stick to until you reach end content, while other more recent games allow an open class system, with players being able to make up characters using toolkits of their choosing. Runes of magic have a different approach to the matter, since it uses a dual-class system, allowing you to start as a base class at the beginning of your character creation, and then choose a different class when you reach level 15. This secondary class gives access to most of the skillset of that class, with certain class combinations working in synergy to boost certain pros of your class, while other combinations work on filling in any weaknesses.

The subtitle says it all since the main gameplay elements are the same in this game as with all other MMORPGs, where the end goal is to eventually either face off a big baddie in a raid or pummel some heads in PvP battle. Of course, the journey to end content isn't all that farmy and grindy as it may sound, as the stories are epic yet whimsical, and the possibility of evolving in the community with the trade skills you can train make the journey sometimes more appealing than the result.

While those of you that are hardcore fans of the series will argue that there is indeed an end to the game, the developers always releasing new contents and organizing events to keep everything as fresh as the first day they launched the game. These expansions involve increased level caps, more gear, better monsters, more challenging instances and more.

While not as impressive as the game it built its reputation on, Runes of Magic has nonetheless managed to step out of the shadows of "WoW clones" and has managed to make itself known for what it is: an amazing experience in a fantasy realm!
