[h2]Colorweave Festival[/h2]


Legend has it that the earliest people didn't wear clothes. When bad weather came, they couldn't do anything but huddle together for warmth and wait for it to pass. The weak and feeble gritted their teeth and endured the cold without help from anyone. People would die from exposure if there was a cold snap. They were slaves to the weather.




Then one night, the gods dispatched an envoy wearing clothes that were seemingly weaved from a rainbow. Just to look upon their brilliance was to be bathed in soft, soothing moonlight. Her name was Lunella, and she came to teach people how to weave clothes and survive winter's cruelty. This event marked the very beginning of our concept of beauty. Afterwards, a few pioneers popped up and started experimenting with dressing up. They designed new styles that focused not just on warmth, but on the beautiful and vibrant too.




After the people had mastered weaving, Lunella quietly made her exit. She has not been seen since. In order to honor the memory of Lunella's graciousness, people prepare their most beautiful clothes and come together every year at this time. The festival is meant to symbolize the permanence of Lunella's teachings. They will continue to be handed down and live forever in the minds of generations to come.

The time has come to give you an update about our upcoming plans. Today we want to share a sneak peek of what you can expect in the close future on Runes of Magic and what we have been working on lately.

Performance improvements



Yes, this is true, you are awake, the long-awaited performance improvement patch that is severely reducing the crashes of the client is coming very soon… with the Colorweave festival! With that patch we expect that the performances will be greatly improved, especially in big cities! We can’t say for sure that all crashes will be gone, but it should be a big step in reaching more stability in-game for most of you. Of course, we will monitor the feedback and results closely once it goes live.



Server Merges

We promised merges, and we are delivering them this summer. We are currently finishing our merge plans, so far we can only confirm that the new servers will not be merged.


We also have other plans for future content in the works. As soon as it gets a bit more concrete, we will inform you about that too.
Thank you for reading and we wish you all a great summer.
