Chapter IV - Closed Beta

Chapter IV - Closed Beta is near! 24 March 2011



This news is taken from the Runes of Magic website. for European servers here, and for US servers here.

As previously announced we will hold a preview event for our Community, inviting you to join our Test Servers for a first glimpse of Chapter IV – Lands of Despair.

The Closed Beta is currently scheduled for the 6th of April 2011 until the 29th of April 2011. There will be no NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), which allows our invited players to communicate openly with those of our community who did not yet make it into the Closed Beta. A special Chapter IV Closed Beta section on the forums can already be found here where you can share your experiences with fellow players and our Frogster team.

Chosen players will have their live server characters copied to our internal test server (PvP). Please note that no items from bank, housing or in-game mail will be copied, though. Their live server accounts will be left untouched and exist completely outside of the Test Server.

For Europe servers
Today, on Thursday 24th March 2011, we will begin with a small contest.

By answering the questions below correctly and sending them, along with your correct account name & valid email address to event[at]runesofmagic.com, you’ll have the chance to get a spot on our Closed Beta servers.
 * 1. What is the name of the god that created Taborea?

For US servers
Today, on Friday, March 25th, March 2011, we will begin with a small contest.

Write a paragraph, maximum of three sentences in length, detailing why you think you deserve to be chosen to be in the Chapter IV beta. Please be clear and concise, and use proper grammar and punctuation; this is important because we will be asking for your feedback on the Chapter IV content.

One entry per player, please. Send all entries to: rombeta@frogster-america.com

Deadline is Friday 1st April 2011 @ 11:59 AM PST.

We will contact the winners via the email address you use to send in your submission so please be sure to check your email regularly. Please note that we will never ask you for your passwords, so if you do get an email asking for your passwords, it is a fraud.

We will be starting off with a limited number of beta testers but we hope to be able to add more as the beta progresses.
