Ruin is set on a fantasy-medieval time where players not only need to survive and fight other players but also many types of magical creatures. No magic system is confirmed at the moment

This has now been cancelled. From the official site linked in the OP:

Facepunch wrote:Post Mortum

While the idea of a medieval version of Rust with fantasy game elements was appealing, Ruin never really managed to escape Rust's shadow enough to define its own gameplay.

Ruin had elements that were mostly identical to Rust (crafting, looting, harvesting), and the features that set it apart from Rust were problematic. The huge hand crafted world would have needed constant expanding and updating to keep players interested. The missions would get repetative and boring unless we constantly added new ones. That isn't something we've got the bandwidth or stamina for.

It's also easy to see that the game would fall into a lot of the same development pitfalls as Rust. Server DDOSing, cheating, hostile & toxic community - why would we want two of those?
