About Game
RF Online is an epic mix of traditional fantasy MMOG mixed with unique futuristic sci-fi action to bring an entirely new and original take on the existing MMORPG genre. Set in a deep space galaxy known as Novus, take your pick from three all-powerful warring factions leading your character into the final battle for total control over the entire Novus galaxy. Chose from either the Bellato Union, taking control of individual robot battle units like never seen before within any MMOG, Holy Alliance Cora, the mystical and fantasy orientated race utilising the power of magic and finally the mighty Accretia Empire, a futuristic alien race intent on spreading destruction across the entire sector with their advanced weaponry systems.

i've played the Japanese version for a while. People in game rarely talk, but I like the controls a bit better than most other 3d RPGs, very configurable. However one can't help but feel that this is almost exactly like Phantasy Star Online.. then again.. it is partly made by Sega too.

[babojjang]

Partially made by Sega? What are you smoking?

This game was made by CCR Inc, the makers of Fortress 2 Blue and Fortress 3 PaeWangJun, or am I mistaken?

I played the Korean verison and it's pretty nice, though I haven't gone that far. I definitely will play the international release. I hear there will be a monthly fee. =/

Partially does not mean completely made.

I've never tried the Korean one, but if it's similar to how Maple Story is distributed in Japan and Korea, then there could be slight differences between the versions which could be attributed to differing publishers that sometimes add in their own influences.

[babojjang]

Oh wow sorry about my ignorance there. I never knew they teamed up with SEGA to make this game, my fault! =/

At first I didn't know there was going to be a monthly fee but now that there is, I'm hesitant to try it =/

no biggie. Even though the game's concept is a rarity among a sea of medieval and orient based mmorpgs and has interesting style and graphics.. I wouldn't say it's THAT special to warrant paying a monthly fee (if they ever implement it).. there's just too many other free Korean and japanese made mmorpgs out there that one could simply just move on to (Granado Espada, Ragnarok 2, among others that will be out in the near future).. doesn't hurt to d/l and try though

Oh wow, i just checked it out and it looks really awesome!! Very nice graphics. Is there an english version though?? If there was i would so play, no matter how long it takes to download.

[1SwtDeception]

Interesting.. I never even heard about this.. Thanks for the heads up =]. Definitely going to try.

[narcotix]

looks fun, kind alike gundam or something maybe ill play

[iZZYBELLA]

Wow, nice graphics.

But... I think not. I like it when the people talk more. =)

i dont think sega partially "made" rfonline,
CCR made the game, licensed rights to multiple companies so they could distribute the game internationally
SEGA for japan, Codemasters for NA/Europe

there's going to be some closed beta soon for the game where u can sign up on the first site i posted~ no idea if i will pay2play the game yet, but it sure looks cool.

you're right. I double checked it. Sega is the publisher for the Japanese version while CCR is the developer.

[babojjang]

It will be pay 2 play, it said so on the FAQ.

[Izzie]

I want to, but the korean one went to pay to play,
so I don't wanna start the international one.

[InSong]

graphics looks good.

Since my thread was closed i'll reply to u here Kame. About the grind and all. I used to play RO, and im sure many on here have as well. The grind in RO was a LOT tougher than in WoW. WoW and grinding? Doesnt exist in my opinion. Really though, WoW is so easy to lvl. I got my warrior to lvl 60 in less than 2 months. And a ton of other toons to 50+. WoW is cool and all but it gets so repetitive playing BG and lvling. Instances got hella boring too. In the end its all about gear gear gear. And who can own who in pvp. zzzz.. RF looks cool though cuz its a new concept in pvp and being able to use mechs seems like a sweet idea. Im sure in time RFO will be good too with add ons and patches. Im gona give it a try. But Kame thanks for ur info. Well appreciated.

all i did in wow for the last 3 months i played
was go on it to just talk to friends that i knew iRL that were leveling up. and just pvping outside orgrimmar lol

anyways, if u dont mind the grind (i didn't mind it either, but an ASS LOAD of other people do[in similarity to lineage 2. if u ever played that)
it can be a pretty good game. mainly because it looks so cool and visual effects are so sugoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. !


oh btw. If u plan to go the humans in RfO, and you are hoping to be a mech... they are really weak at the high level. mainly because of their slow movement and weak damage. (and in the game its instant potting nearly, so u can't kill anything with a mech.)
just think paladin, that can't heal and has about 10x more hp and armor lol

In my opinion, the gunner->striker is awesome. although it gets a little annoying sometimes to have to deploy to attack with the launcher, it still looks.. so cool. and they are hella strong at higher level when I was playing.

i played this on a private server, didnt find it that intresting.
