Runes of Magic Patch 1.9 'Naga's Awakening' Heralds Second Chapter is Frogster America's announcement that the first content from Chapter II of Runes of Magic is now live. Here are some new screenshots, and there's a new Runes Of Magic Elves Extended Trailer on GameTrailers. Here's a bit on the new content in the subscription-free MMORPG:

Players can explore the ‘Weeping Coast’ right away. In this swamp territory, adventurers will meet the Naga for the very first time. New quests tell the history of the region and ultimately lead to the bottom of the ocean. In the group dungeon ‘Heart of the Ocean,’ alongside fish people and other ocean dwellers, there lurks a powerful leader of the snake-like beings, ready to seize unwary players. With ‘Naga’s Awakening,’ Frogster has also raised the level cap to 52.

The content update also expands Runes of Magic with more open combat, and a Public Encounter. In ‘Varanas Nightmare,’ up to 150 players can step into nightmare world where the regional capital Varanas is in ruins and under siege by undead skeletons and nightmare beings. At the end of the three stage challenge for experienced player groups, there is an encounter with the Demon Lord himself – this is the first time that the eponymous fiendish lord of the first chapter makes an appearance.
