What exactly is Runegard?
Runegard is a creative emulated server project by many veteran nexus players. People familiar with Baram or NexusTK will notice the similarities between the two games, but we are actually independent and use our own ideas. Everything in the game has been created from the ground up including, maps, monsters, spells, weapons and quests. Our server is created using powerful algorithms and you will notice that it runs and responds much faster than KRU's version.

How much does it cost to play?
There is no subscription fee to access the Runegard Servers

How do I connect to the server?

I'm used to Nexus and leveling fast, why is Runegard slower?
Nexus completely destroyed the entire 1-98 content in their game. Leeching is rampant and new players are completely unable to play unless they know older players who can leech them. KRU had to release a brand new area just so players could hit level 50 without the help of stronger people. We have put in checks to eliminate leeching in this game, but at the same time made it easier to hunt with a group. Players will be able to join groups with minimal exp loss, so we encourage people to hunt in groups of 5,10,15 and even 20.

Why are bosses so hard?
Runegard has taken away easy, trivial bosses and has put in a system of full scripted bosses.
Every single boss in Runegard is different. Bosses have much longer respawn rates and require large groups to kill them, the trade-off being they offer better rewards and a high rate of dropping items.

What is Runegard crafting like?
Runegard has taken ideas from successful mmorpgs like Ultima Online and World of Warcraft. We use a recipe skill based crafting system. Crafted items in runegard are not repairable, thus making an infinite demand for these items. We have completely upgraded skills such as Mining where you actually will hit ore nodes, and Shepherding where you use shears to cut wool off the sheep.

Will there be subpaths and clans?
Absolutely. We loved the idea of subpaths and clans from nexus and plan to implement them in to Runegard.

If I have an idea for a subpath can I send you it?
No. We will let you know when we are ready to introduce them.

I have an idea for Runegard, where can I post it?
We have setup the dreams board in game, and we currently monitor and respond to it everyday. Do not send GMs any ideas regarding the game. We will ignore them.
