Frogster Interactive has announced the addition of siege wars, a new type of mass-PvP warfare, for Runes of Magic. Siege wars will place guilds in pitched battles in the attempt to seize castles from each other. The open beta for testing the siege wars begins today, March 11, a month before the anticipated release of Runes of Magic's Chapter III expansion, titled The Elder Kingdoms. From the official press release:
Right from Chapter I, guilds have been able to have their own strongholds which they have been able to individually furnish and extend with additional buildings. As a part of Chapter III, the newly introduced battles will also include new bonuses and it will also be possible to build siege weapons: from catapults to rams and arrow throwers – the guild wars will deliver a comprehensive arsenal of weapons of war making it possible to hammer your opponent within their own fortress.
