This may stand it head-and-shoulders above its free-to-play peers, but it isn't enough to compete with the genre's heavyweights. This feature allows you to strip stats from armour and weapons and transfer them elsewhere. Yet the Arcane Transmuter is an interesting mechanic that does help to distinguish Runes from its subscription-based rivals. The interface is unnervingly similar to Blizzard's game, and the rune system - which the developers proudly claim to is one of Runes' defining features - resembles the gems and socketable items found in other MMOs. With the exception of a few new features this is exactly what Runes has done. In the lead up to Runes' release, one of the main worries about the game was that it would attempt to follow the well-trodden path of WOW much too closely - a route many a failed MMO has dared to take. Replace the boars with giant mushrooms, and you'll see that Runes of Magic makes efforts to follow the same baffling formula as WOW. Who Actually Likes killing boars? The World of Warcraft phenomenon has passed me by entirely because I couldn't understand the appeal of spending hours hacking and slashing my way through hordes of low-level creatures in order to gain experience.
