– Special Charity Event Complete –

AUSTRALIA – January 25, 2011: The Runes of Magic charity event for victims of the Queensland floods has concluded with players purchasing 413 mounts and raising $2,478 to donate to the Queensland Premiers Flood Appeal.

N3V Games CEO Graham Edelsten was not surprised by the phenomenal result. “Australians have a long history of helping each other out through difficult times and this is no exception. N3V Games, Frogster and the players of Runes of Magic are proud that that we could help out in this way.”

Runes of Magic player and Harlequin guild leader Mikey Lawrence was also appreciative that he could help out: “The Queensland Floods really affected all of us in the Harlequin Guild, since a huge number of our members come from Queensland. We wanted to help out any way we could and the charity event run by Frogster and N3V Games was a great idea since it gave us a way to directly support people affected by the floods. We’d like to thank everyone at Frogster and N3V Games for making this possible.”
