Rubies of Eventide Beta

This medieval MMORPG is still in its open beta stage, so you can try it free of charge. At this early stage it's difficult wether the title can survive amongst more illustrious and established opposition but Eventide shouldn't be taken lightly. The mythical world of Vormis in which it is set is vast and has been skillfully crafted from the LithTech engine, and there's a detailed character system incorporating some 90 classes. www.rubiesofeventide.com
