Runes of Magic to Become Browser-Based

[Zardon]

Frogster has announced another major change coming soon to Runes of Magic - the game will be fully playable in a browser-based format later this year.

Frogster has entered a partnership with Kalydo, a middleware provider which has already integrated GodsWar, to allow browser integration through plug-ins and cloud computing to be played through browsers, starting with Facebook integration.

Facebook players will be able to create an account just by opting in on Facebook, without the additional account creation procedures or downloads required by the current client system. The game will then be playable in full-screen or windowed mode.

Andreas Weidenhaupt, Chief Licensing Officer of Frogster, commented:

"We are expecting to see a marked increase in the numbers of players for Runes of Magic through this cooperation with Kalydo. Powered by the impressive Kalydo technology the browser version will enable us to attract new target groups who previously have found the download, installation and registration process too complicated."
