Hey, everyone! The Gamespy servers are going dark as of May 31st. This, of course would prevent players from playing multiplayer Rune since we used the Gamespy servers for our multiplayer master servers. HOWEVER, Human Head is issuing an update today to resolve this situation. We've set up our own Master Server, but in addition, we've received support from other users who have set up their own Master Servers and are going to include them in our Master Server list so that ...if one server goes down for any period of time, players won't have to stop playing multiplayer Rune.

To get the Update-

If you own Rune Classic from Steam-
You don't really need to do anything if you have auto update turned on. The game will just update with the new Master Server list. If you turned off auto update, in the steam client, right click on the game in your library list, select properties from the dropdown list, then in the Local files tab select Verify integrity of game cache. This will force an update.

If you own Rune Classic from Good Old Games-
An update should appear in the Good Old Games Downloader. Login and follow the update procedures.

If you own the original Rune disc game-
An update for Rune 1.07 is available on www.humanhead.com!
Simply go to our website and click on the link for the file. This is a .ini file. Copy it to your system file and overwrite your old .ini. This will update your Master Server list so that you can keep on playing. (Make a back up of your old Rune.ini just to be safe before copying the new file over.)

Official Announcement

As of 10 AM Pacific, Weds. June 13th, we will be live on Steam. We appreciate all the support of the community over the years, and look forward to growing Rune into the future with the momentum of this release. More news to come!

The classic Viking third person hack-and-slash melee game will be released on Steam within a week after June 8th. Rune Classic presents the original Rune and the Multiplayer Expansion Pack Halls of Valhalla. Thwart Loki and his minions and stop Ragnarok, the Norse End of Days, from destroying the world. Replenish your strength with mead, meat, and lizards. Call down the power of the gods to charge your weapons with fierce Rune powers. New enemies, new Steam Achievements,... and updated levels await the intrepid Viking within you. Experience Rune's notorious multiplayer in vicious, darkly humorous up close and personal melee action. Bring swords, maces, hammers, axes, and your opponent's severed head or arm to the fray.
