For gamers looking to play the popular MMORPG, Runes of Magic, the process just got a lot faster and easier. Today, Frogster released a new 3.5 GB version of the Runes of Magic client, which is about half the size of the full client, which opens the game up to players that might have slower or metered connections to the internet. By optimizing the contents of the initial download package, Frogster is taking steps to continue the growth of the leading free-to-play MMORPG, which has more than 4 Million registered players.

The vast reduction in the size of the slim client was made possible by compressing some of the detail in the graphical textures and sound files. Aside from these two differences, the game and features in the slim client are identical to those of the full client. Additionally, the slim client of Runes of Magic requires fewer system resources, offering gamers improved system performance.

Both the slim client and the full client including the current update Patch 3.0.5 are available for download at the official website: http://us.runesofmagic.com/us/content.php?show=download
