Frogster America, Inc. today announced that Runes of Magic pre-paid game cards will soon be available at Target stores nationwide. The cards will provide instant access to in-game credits in Runes of Magic, and offer players the opportunity to purchase in-game credits where they shop the most. With more than 1,700 stores in 49 states, players of Runes of Magic will have more options to pay for items that enhance the game. The game cards started shipping to Target stores on October 1st.

“Having our Runes of Magic pre-paid game cards available at Target is a major opportunity for Frogster and our dedicated players who have been asking for a way to quickly buy items in game,” said Lars Koschin, CEO of Frogster America, Inc. “Now they can go to any Target store and be able to spend diamonds the same day. Best of all, there’s also an exclusive mount which is only available to game card buyers.”

Runes of Magic Game Cards come in $20 increments and can be used in the game’s diamond shop to purchase mounts or in-game enhancements. The Target Game Card joins the recently announced Zeevex card program which will make Runes of Magic’s in-game currency available at 7-Eleven stores. Frogster continues to look for additional ways to support the community with alternative payment methods, survey credits and other opportunities that open up the game’s paid enhancements to the free user base.

In complement to game cards, from Wednesday 14th October, Frogster is launching a series of in-game events in the Runes of Magic game world. In a weekly rhythm, a dangerous troop of Zurhidon warriors will strike in turn on the various European servers always at 20:00. In the course of the manually GM controlled event, the Zurhidon will use their sinister powers to the fullest, summoning up demons for their own dire purposes.

In order to overwhelm Taborea, they send two generals in addition to their demonic and Zurhidon troops. The task lying before players of Runes of Magic will be to beat back this evil and ferocious force. But take care; the powers of darkness will try to cut off the well-intentioned player troops in order to lure them into an ambush. Instead of being content with just one prime location, they will actually attack on two fronts simultaneously.
