Oh Runes of Magic, how I love you, and how you hurt me.
100% honesty, Runes of Magic is one of my absolute favourite MMORPG's, it's a game I feel has so much potential, and yet the designers and the producers seem focused on driving it further and further into the ground and ignoring the NINE YEAR old memory crash bug.
This video is both a love letter to, and a scathing remark toward, Runes of Magic.
I still like you Gameforge.

Pay to win
Pay to advance
Pay for convenience
Are ALL the same thing.
If you can give the game more money to become more powerful or gain advantages, the game is pay to win.
When a game becomes Pay wo Win, it actually creates an environment where the best way to advance in the game, is to go to work, then spend money on the game, actually PLAYING the game is an awful way to level up.
As usual, thank you to my Patreon and Twitch supporters.")
