Frogster unveiled their next expansion for Runes of Magic back in early February, announcing that Chapter III -- The Elder Kingdoms will be arriving in May. Now we have even better news: if you're planning to attend GDC next week you're going to get a first look at Chapter III.
Frogster announced today that they are planning to give a peek at the first features of The Elder Kingdoms at Game Developers Conference. We know that the expansion will feature a fair amount of new content -- new dungeons, instances, PvP battlegrounds, and more, so it will be interesting to find out what area they choose to show off first.
In addition to a look at the new features, Frogster is promising a surprise for GDC attendees as well: "a new product to expand the RoM universe into a new business field."
That's certainly got our curiosity aroused -- stay tuned to Massively during GDC next week for the full scoop on what Runes of Magic has up their sleeve!

It's always fun to speculate on these announcements:)
I've been hoping for a long time now, that they will start making player figures, similar to WoW's figureprints.
I know that a company they had(still are?) working with, Merch4games, sells official merchandise like T-shirts, posters, and mugs. Merch4games is also usually seen near the RoM booth and different live events. There's no proof of any connection, but merch4games also advertises their 3D sculpting technology on there own website.
I would love to see this. With how versatile RoM is in letting players choose any and all armor and weapon pieces they want, with whatever stats they want, and letting you color multiple segments on individual pieces, it would make for great, unique figures.
Whatever it turns out to be, the announcement has me curious.
