Chapter II: The Elven Prophecy

Chapter III: The Elder Kingdoms

April 20, 2010: Auction House changes to fight the evil spammers!
Trading of Gold for Diamonds, and vice versa, has been temporarily disabled as this was the mechanism being used by the gold sellers to move their product. Ditto with sending gold in mail. Frogster promises the option will return as soon as they feel it is safe (like, when all the gold sellers are out of business).

I have to say that I have always felt that you should not be able to trade gold for diamonds in the first place, as it muddies the separation between real-world cash (diamonds) and in-game currency (gold). Feel free to discuss your own views on this in our forum.

Announced April 17, 2010: Patch 3.0.0 going live next week, Phase One of Chapter II: The Elder Kingdoms

Curse Network pulls the plug on RunesDB
If you go to the RunesDB url you get a splash informing you that Curse has stopped database support for Runes of Magic. You are further directed to see their RunesWiki for your needs. I took a look and must say it looks a tad anemic. Unfortunately for us, the players, they did not preserve the existing comments nor export them to the wiki, so all of that info is just gone. As a consequence we have removed the Other Resources link to RunesDB from our pages.

Farewell, RunesDB. Sorry to see you gone. On the bright side we do still have the BuffedDB (which seems to have mysteriously crashed tonight).

WTH? Minigames! Ancient Treasures
I was running around Sascilia Steppes last night on one of my newer alts and ran smack into a little camp and NPC I had never seen before. Of course I had to investigate!

Runes of Magic Has It's First Birthday!
A Short year ago, March 19th, 2009, Runes of Magic went live. I was there, and although I have not stayed in Taborea the whole year, I am very happy for them. :)

See this page on their site for all the events and festivities.

RoM Adds New Server
I have not been in-game for a few months and logged in today to see the announcement of a new server! So, RoM continues to grow. Good, good! Everyone give a welcome to the new spanish-language server, Palenque!

According to that vast ocean of information, The Internet, "Palenque" means "palisade" in Spanish. It is also the name of a Mayan ruin in Mexico and the name of a tribe indigenous to Nicaragua and Honduras.

Wiki - Not just a job, it's an adventure!
Our very own Bludwyng is playing on Govinda and having a good time running around and collecting information. Quest Series pages are populated, at least with the names and sequences, for the lower-end zones of Howling Mountains, Silverspring, Sascilia Steppes and Dragonfang Ridge, with more to come. Most quests are still red-links but quests, mobs and objects are filling in fast. We could really use your help!

Patch 2.1.7: War and Parties
The release of Patch 2.1.7 (currently on Test) introduces the first wave of a new PvP battlegrounds-style play arena to RoM called Siege Wars, and the Spring live event, The Masked Ball, a daily quest event in Varanas City. The rollout of Siege Wars will continue up to the final push with the next expansion, Chapter III: The Elder Kingdoms.

Chapter II: The Elven Prophecy
Chapter II: The Elven Prophecy, Runes of Magic's first expansion, went Live on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009.

Wikibase™

Bludwyng
If you are new to ZAM, welcome! And if you have been with us all along, welcome to you too. This is the top, or Main Page, of the Runes of Magic Wikibase™ here. I am your friendly neighborhood wiki-ferret, Bludwyng, and I am here to help you, the players, make this wiki into a resource for all RoM players.

Players helping players is what this wiki is all about, so don't be shy! I will do all I can to provide you with whatever tools you need to make this place look and feel exactly the way you want it to, but I can't do all the work myself.

By the way, I am a player, too, on Govinda, so be sure to say hi to me in-game on Bludwyng (M/W), Donal (R/S) or Elbehreth (Dr/Sc)!

Wiki News

2010

  • 3/30 - On all pages if RoMMob, RoMItem or RoMQuest is used to link to a page we do not have then (Rdb/Bfd) will appear after the link. These are a search link direct to RunesDB and Buffed database. If we do not have it we want to help you find it! Why both db's? Well, first we do not want to play favorites, but actually I have found that neither db is 100% complete, but between the two of them there is almost nothing I have not been able to locate.
  • 3/19 - Because the new default skin here is black text on a white background and Common quality items are white text, we have change Common to underlined black text so it will show up. Just be aware that the item colors are true to the in-game colors except for common, which is inverse.
  • 3/15 - I am making a pass through all the templates, updating and upgrading them both to look better on our new default skin and to make use of some wiki tools that were not around back when I originally wrote them.
2009
  • 3/28 - New template: RoM Daily Quest, calls RoM Quest to do most of the work, but also adds some extra information just for Daily Quests.
  • 3/26 - I am debating whether we should have a Skill template or not. I am not sure a page for each and every individual Skill is worth it. Currently I am leaning towards pages like Category:Mage Skills that simply list the skills in a table.
  • 3/17 - Happy St. Patrick's Day! RoM Item is done. Due to the complexity and the variables I am sure you will run into items that do not fit. When you do, upload a screenshot of the item window to the item page and pm me with the URL and I will make the template fit it asap. The same procedure applies to all the templates, but Item is the one most likely to be inadequate.
  • 3/15 - POI and Object are done, and Resource Nodes are handled by Object.
  • 3/14 - Templates for Quest, Mob and Zone are done. In the next few days I should get templates done for Object, POI, Resource and Item.
