A few weeks ago, we surpassed the 2 million registered accounts mark and marked the occasion with a contest that took place on our English Runes of Magic Facebook page. RoM players from all over the world took time to share why they play Runes of Magic.

Here are some of the top comments:

Todd Andrew B — "I play ROM because little elves told me too."
Taylor B — "I play runes of magic, because unfortunately, I cannot cast spells in real life. :(."
Albert Martijn L — "I play Runes of Magic because I am the one who decides when, with what and how I play in an immersive world free of forced labor."
Travis R. — "I play Runes of Magic because its F...... AMAZING."
Kellen V. — "I play Runes of Magic because President Obama said it would help the economy."
Elisa G. — "I play Runes of Magic because I should have been born elf..!"
Oscar Ballesteros F. — "I play runes of magic because I want to have fun."

"Are you sure we’re in the right place?" asked a panicked voice.

"Trust me," came a firm reply. "So far, this map we got from that beggar has been useful in avoiding the Naga. Just think of the treasures waiting for us!” 

Two adventurers — one is in heavy plate armor with shoulders as broad as a bull's back and the other is small, agile and wearing black leather — kept wandering deeper and deeper into the cave under Aotulia Volcano, into the heart of the Naga's home.

Slowly and carefully as to avoid possible dangers, the pair walked through a maze of seemingly never-ending corridors that glowed with a fiery blaze. At the end of the long journey, they reached a chamber so huge that their torches weren't bright enough to illuminate even half of it. All the adventurers saw were some gold coins strewn about directly before them on the chamber floor.

"Look! We’ve made it!" cheered the rogue, running to collect the loot.

"Stop! Wait!" shouted the knight, trying to stop his companion before something went terribly wrong ...

... but it was too late. Glowing hot eyes rose from the darkness, and a deep rumble flooded the cave, shaking the ground. The two poor souls realized they were caught in a fiery nightmare and were in the lair of the Demon Dragon!

Their agonizing screams echoed throughout the cave and were the last anyone ever heard from them.
