The client-based MMORPG Runes of Magic lacks true forward momentum and even the publisher Frogster are not capable of fixing the existing deadly bugs, which leads to a wave of Runes of Magic account hacking. While there’s no attraction in today’s free to play business model, it seems such games like Champions Online, World of Tanks and Dragon Saga have been in imminent danger of death.

However, this unpleasant trends did not cause some hindrance to Frogster’s plans on bringing its flagship MMO Runes of Magic to Facebook and browser platform.

According to the yesterday’s  press release Frogster and Kalydo work together to make the Facebook version of free fantasy mmorpg Runes of Magic and later it will become a browser game too. The millions of players will soon be seeing a new MMO Facebook game. This is not the first time that Kalydo has worked out plans to bring MMOs to Facebook, as we found out that it also brings IGG’s free mmo game GodsWar Online to Facebook.

If Runes of Magic would have become a browser game, it also support 3D visuals with no hours of download and no installation – the fantasy role-playing game will run in common browsers just a few clicks.  And this will happen in 2011. Perhaps in the second quarter of 2011, Runes of Magic is completely in the browser and be playable on Facebook too.

Frogster hopes that the new version is a significant expansion for a great  number of players.

It is typically normal to see that game developers go deep into their mind and try to dig out a great point to get player’s attention.

Potential scandal, images with sexy chick, updating game features as players suggest… whatever it is, there are always a way for game developers to catch players attention on something. Or maybe held a Lucky Draw with abundant rewards like free journey to somewhere, or some Hi-tech products, which always good at gain players’ attention.

However, there are always some doubt about the truth and rightness of a Draw. Maybe, this is just one of trick came up by game developer, and no one really gets rewards, or some insiders get the rewards…But there may a real case that players did receive some big rewards.

Recently,  Caplay just informed us that they had a Valentine’s Lucky Draw during 26th Jan to 14th Feb (CST). In this Lucky Draw, their players who had ever bought game coins from any of their games, Napoleonic War and War of 2012, even a minimum order will give them a chance to win an Ipad free of charge. There are 5 Ipads for this whole Valentine Lucky Draw.

Well, though the Ipad seems not the most attractive Hi-tech gadget from Apple line-up now, but why not try, if you could get a free one, at least, this is a shot to get a kinda good but free stuff.

We gain some information from PR of Caplay that though the whole things a little bit hectic(and there is a long holiday break during the time the event runs), they promised that Draw would be true and the outcome come up in a fair way.

To prove that winner are pick up in fair way, they even ask their oversea GM members to made video snap and present how the winners was picked up by the third Live Draw site.

Good video Caplay! And good voice,GM Isa. At least, the whole draw seems really believable now. But I suggested that rewards can be distributed into players from 2 games in a balance proportion when there a new Lucky Draw, as all winners are from War of 2012. Poor NapWar…Just never piss any players off; you know they are the real meaning your games.

If you have interest to know about how this draw was made and who the winners are, you can refer to http://www.caplay.com/vipad-snnn.html.

Don’t forget to remind us ahead, if there is a Lucky Draw of these kinds next time, allowing players from our sites have access for that as well. That is we call fairness as well.
