MMO company Frogster announced the launch of a new Runes of Magic server with a fully localized Spanish version of the game for the U.S. and Canada, claiming this is "the first free-to-play online game in North America to launch a Spanish-language server".

The company believes the new server has the potential to attract "several million" new players to the MMORPG. It also says the server will help those learning or interested in further developing their Spanish-language skills to interact with other Spanish speakers, playing the game while also practicing real world skills.

Created by Taiwanese developer Runewalker Entertainment, the free-to-play game has players creating different classes in the fantasy world of Taborea, leveling crafting skills, completing quests, fighting enemies, exploring dungeons with groups as large as 36 players, and more. Runes of Magic has attracted over two million registered users since launching last March.

"With millions of native language Spanish speakers in North America, as well as people that want to actively practice their Spanish language skills, the market is large and untapped," says Frogster America CEO Lars Koschin. "Runes of Magic is the first free-to-play MMORPG to actively pursue the Spanish speaking audience and we hope this is just the first of many servers to support the community."

Along with the new server, Frogster is localizing the Runes of Magic's community website, and is hoping to hire Spanish speakers to act as in-game Guides and Game Masters.
