Since the official launch of Runes of Magic in March, the team at Frogster Interactve and Runewaker Entertainment have been incredibly busy developing more and more tasty content for players to enjoy - for free! With more than 1,600 quests in the world so far and counting, Runes of Magic is proving to be a really solid, feature-rich free-to-play title. Now we've received word that the RoM team is at it again, this time including more piratey content based on the recently introduced Black Sail Pirates. This new dungeon for players to explore is called the Secret of the Treasure Trove, and it will offer lots of swashbucklin' adventure for those scurvy dogs brave enough to step foot in there.
This new area, a cave located off the new area Ravenfell, will be home to a bevy of new monsters - from undead pirates and skeletal warriors, to weird mutated part-squid monsters. Players will also have the chance to test their skills against a variety of named mobs from a giant octopus named 'Will's Curse' to the missing pirate leader, 'Snow Blake', and her fearsome phantasmagorical crew. So if ye be lookin' for a Treasure Trove of adventure, this sounds like it may just be your Runes of Magic ticket, mateys.

That monster makes me think of Dr.Birkin from Resident Evil 2.

The the thing in the screenshot looks to be half coral, much like the pirates in the third installment of Pirates of the Caribbean.
"Will's Curse"... Hmm. Where do I know the name Will from?
This reeks of PotC ripoff.

Uh, where have you been? Runes of Magic rips off just about everything. And it's a better game for it.

Have they added more sound to the game? It was a huge turn off for me when I mined and cut down tree to have no sound effects at all

The constant updates really make this game shine. I sort of wish they'd fix the many bugs and bad translations though (especially in the 2nd class area).

Have they fixed the sound-fx yet? (ie: no mount sounds, no mining sounds, etc).
Not going near it again until they pull their lazy finger out on that one..

Yea I resubbed to WoW because of a few things.
Some of the main reasons were:
Talent points and experience not being linked.
Sound and music REALLY, REALLY godawful. Especially sound.
Lack of actual story line, Classic WoW feels painful to level through after playing Wrath and it has a hundred times the story Runes of magic has so far shown.
Lack of balance I'm playing a mage and it owns everything so hard its completely boring to play......
