Installation...

Alright, the new patch screwed my game up to where it would crash every time I opened it. I uninstalled it, and now am reinstalling it. However, I have a question - Why do you all not just condense all of the patches into one big patch because several times I have been downloading it and the patch just freeze and I have to force close it and completely restart... If any CMs, Moderators, Mentors, Etc Etc Etc would reply it would be helpful on how to stop the patch freezing. Thanks.

Try starting with the most recent version. I just redownloaded the one from the rom homepage, which was version 5. This will have less patches to cycle thru than an older version, ie version 4.

But I, like many others, agree the cycling thru obsolete patches should be done away with.

Inferiority posted links to the direct 5.0.5 installation file downloads here: http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=70835 You should use those.

Unfortunately, we don't yet have a new compiled set of 6.0.0 installation files available quite yet. So you will have to endure the patching process with the 5.0.5 installation files. As Inferiority recommends, temporarily disable your anti-virus and/or 3rd party firewall program when installing and patching. (The firewall that comes with Windows Vista/7/8 works well and doesn't interfere with the installation/patching processes.) Once patching is complete, re-enable your anti-virus and/or firewall.
