Rising Force, RFO, Romance & Fantasy

I fixed it to say Rising Force aka Romance & Fantasy, because the Codemasters (Non-Philippines English publisher) site clearly says that "“RF” stands for “Rising Force” so the full title of the game would be “Rising Force Online”. However the game is being commonly known as “RFOnline” or “RFO” for short. There is also a descriptive term for the game as “Fantasy and Romance” which is sometimes confused with the name."--Capibara 02:14, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

@Capibara: I know that. In fact, RF was originally titled as "Romance & Fantasy Online". Somewhere along the way it got changed to "Rising Force", or RF for short. At everyone else, thanks. I'm going to add equipment effects later. --Izaak 10:07 PM, 10 April 2006 (GMT)

RFOnline Balance, Chip Wars

I was wondering - would it be appropriate to discuss, in detail, the current state of US RF Online's balance mechanics and Chip Wars controversy? I've been told that there are some servers that are currently suffering from overly unbalanced gameplay between the three races. --Sqrfrk 00:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added some descriptions of the Accreatian classes and class skills. please feel free to edit if you think I messed it up. :3

free&premium accounts or simply pay to play?

might be worth adding if this game is free, has some sort of premium account system or requires a payed membership, i myself only looked up RF online on wikipedia because i didn't want to download the client and find i had to pay to use it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.106.72.222 (talk) 00:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Currently on most servers, RF online is free, with the exception of the Philippines, which also has a premium account service in addition of the F2P or Item Mall service. This Premium Account features x2 mods on XP, PT, and Drops. JediSentinel 13:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: Add current status of different language RFOs

RFO in different countries is not "synchronized".

Tremendous dramas are/were upon ru and codemasters' RFOs.

Below info is provided as "AFAIK". =)

Russian:

buggy open beta Episode 1, Giga 4 went into buggy "something" on April 19, 2007. It wasn't officially called release, but it's "Episode 2, part 1, update 2". Cash shop (sells special consumables, gems, jewels and other stuff for new currency, that's bought for real money) was added along with numerous other unexpected changes, which caused (imho) a definite recess in game popularity. People do argue on this and some are content with the update, but uproar can't be denied, and population did dwindle.

There are ordinary accounts. Hardly playable, actually. Item drop from mobs is rather low and doesn't cover the expenses in the end game.

Situation improves if one purchases a premium account option at ~$10 equivalent per month. It's possible to farm mobs for loot and stay frosty. In addition, premium account increases rates of Exp and PT acquisition from fighting.

Some new updates were expected in the late summer to autumn 2007, if i recall it right. I can't find a confirmation though now.

Conspiracy theories about drop rates being overly decreased for free accounts are, of course, there.

Korean:

According to CM forum officials, there's Ep. 2, p. 1, update 4 on korean servers. same sources indicate that update to have been branded 'designed-to-make-people-leave-the-game' or something by the majority of korean playerbase voted. According to russian official publisher team members, the balancing is quite similar (now it certainly becomes "was", since ruRFO gets adjusted, too). They also say, that krRFO is F2P (free-to-play) with cash shop and premium accounts equivalent is said to work as follows. While one is playing RFO from certain internet cafes, he receives bonuses similar to premium accounts' of ruRFO. A portion of a bill for cafe services goes to developers' pockets.

Codemasters (Europe/US):

Atm, CM is still Ep.1, Giga 4 with some self programmed additions and balance modifications. Not sure how things are with subscription fees.

Forums of CM indicate, that extremely long delay (while being fed the promises of Ep.2 update) has caused great share of population to get bored or frustrated and leave the game. Once upon a time ( ^^ ), there was a patch from korea containing Ep.2, but it wouldn't even work for Codemasters test team and so it was sent back. Continiuous negotiations have reached an agreement recently. It seems, that CM will have to back off with their inacceptance of cash shop introduction. Current plans/promises for CM are Ep.2, p.1, update 5, an update currently developed by koreans for koreans.

No idea about other RFOs.

RF in the Philippines

Was made under the 1 and a half years experience in-game, plus observation of the populace and their sentiments in the forums (Official Boards). And I agree to the person's opinion above: For Koreans and by Koreans, which I also stated in one of the bullets or points that CCR (which is evidently composed of Koreans) wasn't able to foresee or EVEN analyze that the trends, population distribution, etc. of the Philippine servers isn't like those of Korea's servers. Hence, the new problems that added to the old ones in Episode 2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ForYourEyesOnly (talk • contribs) 04:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RF In The Philippines Part 2

Copy pasted parts of the original due to some people deleting the whole segment. This is not anything derogatory for the game, but puts in light, the points from where the developers and publishers can help each other to make the game better. Fixed the DDNM statement.

gameplay?

What's the gameplay like? Why do none of these mmorpg articles cover that? Do you just click on things and they die? Do they have instanced dungeons? What? Ohemgee 06:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
