According to tradition lovers make gifts on Valentine's day. Following that tradition, Frogster presents all loyal Runes of Magic players with Diamonds and items worth 500,000 Euros. Players will receive 50 Diamonds on every server they have at least one level 10 character. This special currency can be spent on all the items available in the game's own Item Shop. To make this more attractive Frogster lowered the prices of several top-selling items for the weekend, saving their players up to 66% per item.

The reasoning behind the high detail announcement is starting to make more sense now. It will be interesting to see how demanding the new upgrade will be on browsers."
