Congratulations to all the finalists!

Ever since we have heard about the rumors that E-Games will be publishing a Medieval MMMORPG, Runes of Magic, the Exitializ Community became interested and read something about the game. We have decided to put up this fansite to provide the Filipino players specially the e-Gamers more information about the Game.

We’ll keep this site updated for you guys. Hope that this site could help your Journey to Taborea. Have fun and See you guys pretty soon!

You may visit our Fansite at http://rom.exitializ.com or simply rom.exitializ.com

You can still register as one of the Alpha Testers of the game at http://alpha.runesofmagic.com.ph

I would just like to share some of my Journeys in Luna Online Philippines since Closed Beta Test. I would also introduce you to my character Elendair.

This one is a rouge and used to be my secondary character during CBT. By the way, rouges are basically more of the nuker and damager type. As I can observe, Rouges has the most population in town. They can have the path of Long Range nukers or the Archery Path and they can also have the Dagger Path like assassin, ruffian and such. So upon strolling around Ruins of Draconian and looking for Quests, I saw this lonely GM.

Let me introduce you to my Elendaire, a mage. Mages are also nuker types that basically depends on their Magical spells. They may choose to be damager type or later on be a Support type with more buffs and better healing skills. Elendaire is a Damager Type mage, and obviously he is in pink. Mages wears robe and some of them looks feminine, like this one. I’m wondering why is that Lizardman following me.

So moving on, Last, August 14, 2009 Luna Server has come to its Open Beta Phase. There have been so many players waited for its opening and here’s one proof.

You would probably observe so many busy people running and of course, some of them would probably mamage their warehouse and prepare for their long grinding sessions.

This is now my main character, Elendair, an Infantryman, the advance class of Fighter. Fighters are melee class that can either be a Defensive or Offensive. This is my character when he reached level 37, and thanks to xNim for that axe, I am not actually planning to change my weapon unless there’s free. ^_^

and to share you one of the funniest experience I encountered playing is to see this cute chick lying on the ground. She’s been there when I woke up and stayed there lying for around three to four hours. Maybe the owner or the player is grinding until morning and can’t keep it any longer.

Oh, by the way that is my guildmate from Exitializ Guild.. ^_^

You may download the game now at http://www.runup.com.ph/download/index.php. So what are you waiting for? Be a Lunatic now ^^.
