RF online was not good.
This game is crap I recently tried the 7 day free trial and after about 10 mins i canceled my account.
Reason: If any of you have played the free game, Space Cowboys, you have played RF online it is the exactly the same you are in the hangar with merchants all arround ya. Point and click movement and attack didnt even waste my time looking but probably the same crap skill system as most asian mmos ...lame.
Not tyring to hate on those that enjoy that style of game but most of us hardcore mmo players will not enjoy it so i felt i should let them know what they are getting before they waste their money.

Well you are obviously a 13 yr old , going by the list of games you posted, because if I am not mistaken mmos started way before any of those games were even a twinkle in their developers eye, much like you were while I was playing mmos when they first came out ... so yeah kiddo hardcore.
Anyway, back to the game, yeah you can move with the keys, just like most games you can change settings duh. That alone dosent change the fact the game was crap, if anyone noticed he did not say this game didnt look like Space Cowboys. while you are running arround in the hanger area that is. BTW Space Cowboys is much better than RF and its FREE!
I just want folks to know what it really is, dont care if ya like it or not, just dont want the players that like real mmos to waste their money and get ripped off, on yet another lame copy of the same old games.
I am done kiddo, clog up the post all ya want.
Please for the love of God define Hardcore ????
a) grinfest
b) open pvp
c) not wowiest
d) pornsite ?
To me a mmo is a game nothing else .
Rising Force offers some cool distractions in it's pvp elements. But I feel even Shadowbane which is free executes them better.
So yeah, if it was cheaper it'd not be so bad. Nice massive map to it and all that. Overall, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either.
I kill other players because they're smarter than AI, sometimes.

I tried it, and longer than 10min. It's not really my style tbh. I have played more MMOs than I care to admit on here and I will say that very few offer what I'm looking for. Yep I'm another displaced SWG player. Something about the ability to do so many things in a game and be whatever you wanted that appealed to me. Even doing nothing could be fun. Nothing else out there can really offer what SWG did on a large scale. In the games now a days if you aren't doing quests what are you doing? I'm usually logging out. Grind fests are ok to an extent, but if combat is un-engaging like it is in a lot of games then I get bored faster. /burstrun /prone /kneel /attack /eyeshot /prone / body shot/ dodge /disarming shot /run /heal in SWG --Vs. *Must be facing target to attack* hit hit hit hit hit hit hit die. RF is a pretty game, just not enough to keep me playing long term. I don't think I could buy a 1 year sub to it like SWG.
who do you think you are to judge the game? You didnt even PLAY the game for crying out loud. you moved around in town for one minute
hardcore mmo players? Your not a hardcore mmorpg player, real mmo players actually play the game first.
do everybody a favor and dont try to let people know your opinion about the game. when I am looking for information about the game, I want to hear the opinions of people who actually PLAYED the game, and not by some kid who moved around in the starter town for 1 minute and then posts in the forum comparing it to space cowboy (hey, why not compare it to EVE while your at it?)
dont post again.
Pro, organized pvp, and 3 teams which gives it a step up on WoW, which doesnt take much.
PvE, same mobs respawn spam one/2 moves while you have autopotions on, not that exciting, but seriously...what mmo doesnt have grinding leveling, this is just a bit worse grinding, not as much group interaction as i would like (EQ 4 years) and not a wide variety of moves.
Its a cool game, but it just does not offer as wide a variety of opprotunities, it is 100% pvp, if you like raids mostly, dont buy it, if you like support, dont buy it, if you want big group traditional tank healer support dps, dont buy it, iif you love chopping up your enemy in bigbattle pvp, buy it!

Well I wanst even gonna bother to post here on this game again because it is CRAP but i will clear up some stuff.
First off if you reply to someones post with a smart ass response then ... expect a equaly smartassed response back! ( hence the 13 yr old statement, as of course I and all of us would love to be 13 again)
As far as hardcore goes,I have "every" single mmo that is playable, from the begining of mmos to current, And I still play most of them depending on my mood. Yes, I have wasted months of my life playing them in the process and that would be on just one of the many games, and have quite enjoyable experiances with pvp and following the storylines in several as well. And yes grinding is a part of all of them however it should not be the main focus!
All that said it still dosent change the fact that this game is just another copy of every korean mmo that has come out so far... like i said i have played them all !
I always buy it and try them out,find out its crap, and am out 50 bucks! Personaly I can afford to do it I care not about the money, BUT some folks out there cant afford to just throw money away, on a game that is supposed to be good but is in fact exactly the same ,with different character models and story, If you noticed in my OP I said not trying to hate on those that like the asian mmo style if you like that style then you are home. However dont try to hate on me for letting folks know that this game is purley a copy of the same crap engines that all korean mmos have,and that you can get the same experiance for FREE with some of the others that are out.
And just so you know I did play the game longer than 10 mins I did kill some mobs and explorer outside( the space cowboys copy of a mall) but 10 mins was all i needed to know that the game was a poor copy of better korean mmos that are free to play!!!
This will probably be my last post in here as i feel like it realy is a waste of time chatting about this game as i could be chatting in the forums of a game that is fun and looking to IMPROVE on the mmo market not just bleed floks dry of money with multiple copys of the same game.
In closeing i want to add that i understand that some of you want to draw people in to play with you, since you already wasted your money on it, But please paint an accurate picture of what you are promoting.
Strange the way my last post was deleted and yours was changed? Anyways, Everyones opinion is important and first impressions are key. Upon logging in to the RF world I was terribly dissapointed, as I am sure most will be.
I guess tho that your opinion is much better than anyone elses, so let us all just play what you think is good, ohh mighty elite member!!
If you were wondering why my post count is so low, its because I actualy spend most my time PLAYING the games I like, and are good, instead of trolling the forums because they arent.
I only came in here to prevent someone from buying this game with false hopes of a new and ORIGINAL game, if they go in knowing it is a copy of every korean MMO out, and that is their cup of tea then good for them, this post wasnt for them as I said many times now.
Hell who knows mabe the devs will read how we feel about their games and make the much needed changes eventualy ...or they can listen to folks like you that dont need change and it will stay the same.
Dont get me wrong I liked the Idea and the story... however the engine they slapped it on sucks ass and killed their games story and any originality that it might have had, basicaly made it not worth the investment.
In your post, that was deleted, you said I couldnt tell the difference between L2 and RF.
I ,however, never mentioned L2 even once in comparison ... perhaps you noticed your self ,that it is a copy of their engine that RF uses? And yeah I can tell the difference L2 "was " actualy pretty good and worth paying for, where as RF is not.
There are actually quite a lot of diffrence between L2 and RF Online. you never found them, because you only played for 10 minutes.
I mentioned Lineage 2 because thats what most Korean MMO's are like, was that really so hard to figure out yourself?. you did not experience PVP, you did not experience the battleportals, you did not experience the clan sport, heck, you didn't even make your first CLASS change.
You know those people of 40~50 year old, who try to give people advice about computers, when they have an old pentium 2 and never use anything else then Word?
Your the same thing.
You can come back here for hours, but I can blow every arguement you make out of the water. reason? I played the game for a reasonable amount of time. you didn't.
LMFAO, man you really are daft, how many times now have I said that it is just like every KOREAN mmo out???
And I said I did play it longer than 10 mins about an hour to be exact BUT 10 mins was all i neded to know it was a shit copy of every KOREAN out, and not worth investing any more time in ... I wasted enough time on that style game already with L2 played original lineage too. Back when they were fun and ORIGINAL.
And just so you know kiddo, I just got done beta testing my 30th or so game, Archlord,(also by codemasters) and guess what BIG SURPRISE HERE... its the same too !!! So yeah you go ahead and keep shuffleing them money and yeah they will keep shoveling you the same shit game with a different smell to it hahaha.
Me personaly I will wait for a better game to release and will hope for small companys like RedBedlam ...who made Roma Victor, or shadowpool who is makeing Trials of Ascension. Both of them have spent time to make a completly new and original approach to mmos and have totaly new battle systems and just about every other aspect too. Roma Victor is great and will do very well, they just have a few bugs to get out and some polishing.(read up on them before ya post back like you know something about how mmo's are supposed to be)
So like I said, I have tons of other games almost every one out to draw experiance from ... so yeah RF was not good. And compared to all the others I played , RF was just a POOR copy.
How long are you going to come back here? your just making a fool out of yourself. you statements prove you know NOTHING of the game. go troll somewhere else. when people look for advice about a game, they want opinions from people who actually PLAYED the game for a reasonable amount of time. not from some guy who played it for 1 hour who really didn't experience anything.
want me to list out what you didn't experience about the game?
1: PVP, the most important aspect of the game
2: Chip Wars, this is what the game is all about
3: Battledungeons, challenges in the game
4: Clan fights
What did you experience:
1: The first town
2: the first few newbie mobs.
I hope this small list makes you see how rediculous your post is.
- the grinding became the game
- the potion spamming made it possible for one lvl34-36 character to endure the attack (or rather defence, since it was that player that was attacking newbs and the other were trying to kill him or drive him away) of 8 other players (the 8 I'm talking about were also high lvl players)
I was already kinda pissed off with the grind when I was trying to raise my ranged skill (no smart remarks, I was keeping them almost maxed on every level, but after Ranged hit 40 it was insanely time consuming to raise it more - and the cap was 99) but after I saw that one enemy enduring us hitting him with potion spamming... I quit the game.I have been there, when the first MMO went online... RF will not be remembered kindly by the western market... not when we have games like UO, DAoC, EQ (to name a few) to remember...

thank you, seePyou, for helping me make my point. Everyone who is reading this can see another player that spends more time playing good games than defending shitty ones in the forum, also finds this game to be a waste of time like I do and he did play it for a long time it seems ... probably now, from that post i gather, he wishes he didnt ever waste his time playing it.
He gave it the test, stuck in till lvl 30ish it sounds like, before he gave up on it I commend him for his dedication, I am sure that alot of the staying to try it out was due to the fact that he had bought the game fully before the free trial, and didnt want to have just thrown away that money.
Yes, that style of game can be fun. However RF did not make it fun , they made it a boreing grindfest of button mashing and potion spamming that after a few hours will make you wonder why you are wasteing your time.
And if you had played Roma Victor you would know that it is a great game and that YES they have more work to do but it will be FUN, way more fun than RF could ever boast to have in it. The combat system alone is 1000 times better than RF's, they also have a realistic crafting system and the community is based of players that prefer to RP over GRINDING.
Combat for example where you hit matters like head, hands, arms and legs each has its own stat and battles can go either way. The world is to scale of the area(real world) and getting ready to expand to be even larger. Crafting is my pet peeve, but they will balance it, now it is almost 100% realistic as far as time needed to build stuff.
So Gameloading, you would say that RF is better than Roma VIctor? How? they basicaly copied other peoples work put their own faces on it and story and mabe added 1 or 2 new things to it... Roma Victor came with a TOTALY NEW approach and systems. Yeah like i said they still got work to do, however that is because this is a small company and they have done NEW things that need NEW approaches to fix, they even stated themselves that it is a work in progress and many features need to be added and balanced still.
I didnt hear ya say too much on ToA but I would assume that you think that will be shit too huh ? lol
I Beta test games very thoroughly and I spend time getting to know every aspect ... however if I log in and it is shit... I wont waste my time as I DO have better things to do.
Ohh and yeah you are right RF wont last much longer KEEP WATCHING LOL yup I think it just droped another point in ratings hahahah. And guess what it is a complete game!! ROFLMAO
Almost forgot, hehe your little clue train is headed back to the station forgot to leave you your brain... you do know that you can read about a game before you play it right? So yeah I know what the features are I also know they dont make this game any better.... but the big question is if you like it sooooo much lol why does your list say currently playing lineage 2 and RF is not even listed ? 2 guesses everyone LMMFAO
But as for me comeing back here, I will keep poping in from time to time, I enjoy our little talks
For your information Shane910, RF Online had a whooping 1 million subscribers in korea. Your roma victor probably didn't even make it to 10k box solds. Its much more likely that RV will close its doors then RF Online will.
Roma Victor had new things, I'll give you that, too bad that every features of them couldn't possible be more screwed up. 20 minutes cooking fish? yay, what fun!
But its nice you bring in the ratings of this website. lets take a look, shall we?
You lose.
RF Online stole other idea's? You know. In my previous post, I clearly asked you to find another asian MMORPG with faction vs faction vs faction and the skill system, yet you avoided that question. I geuss that proves that once again your just talking out of your ass.
and what makes you think I forgot my brain? All posts I made are based on facts. I can back up everything I said in my posts. it seems your the one that has to wonder where his brain might be.
read about it? I can read a manual about flying an airplane, does that make me a pilot? I don't think so.
about your last question, maybe thats because I like Lineage 2 better then RF Online? But what has that to do with anything? Just because I enjoy Lineage 2 more then RFO does not make me yell around, to use your wording, "LMFO ROFLROFL RF ONLINE = SUCKS!". I enjoyed the game, but I prefer Lineage 2. your point is?
Thats my point exactly! You dont even play it anymore because YOU like a game that came out how many years ago? And you find that a game that came out years ago is more fun, but we should all still, just run out and buy RF even though L2 is better? Why? Shouldnt you be saying run out and but L2 in that instance? (would be more fun BTW)
If you yourself thinks L2 was a better game than RF even though it came out long ago, then by all means STOP trying to say that RF is good lol you are now contradicting your self ... nuff said on that I guess.
For you information Roma Victor did break 10k sold quickly as a matter of fact ... however yes, like I said it is still a work in progress... unlike RF that is supposed to be finished. So yeah RV has a lower score than RF for the moment but when they get all the features added and the polishing done it will be a great game and you will see that change.
But in the end it boils down to this ok, just being real here, RedBedLam is a small company they work realy hard and they are trying something new, they said themselves that it will be a slow process and that they had to release early to keep the game going. They stated that on their home page ... the one you read before you buy it. But all these other mmo companys out dont want to take a risk and try something new(witch is what we all want in one way or another) so they keep releasing the same games and just make a few minor modifications and rip people off their hard earned money.
I will put it in a different way too . You go out and buy a new album from a group you heard about, and it was pretty good, so now you like the group and you cant wait for their next album to drop right... only when it comes out it has exactly the same songs on it , but they just sang it in a different pitch and a new beat. Now you had been hearing all this hype about how much better it is than thier last album was... only you had no idea that it was just a remix!! Now would you honestly be happy that it was just a remix or would you be pissed that you got riped off full price for what you already have???
Dont get me wrong im sure the band put alot of work in to their new album, however, they should promote it correctly "THIS IS A REMIX" should have been right on the cover right???
So dont hate on me for letting folks know that this game is a remix of better games out ok . All I am trying to do ... Matter of fact ill help you out and make ya happy. Everyone should go play L2, with Gameloading, because it is actualy fun and a much better game than RF online.
Cant wait to hear from ya soon hehehe.
Ok no matter how you want to word that, it still comes out L2 is better than RF. And that is sad considering that it came out years ago and RF is supposed to be new. Yeah I understand you like to play both ...cool your money but in a game that charges monthly you should have much higher standards.
As far as Roma Victor, or RedBedLam ripping folks off ... no, like i said it is in plain english on their home page that it is not complete and just so you know, since you obviously dont, it was a one time payment so I dont pay them each month... so yeah I can afford to wait till they get it right and have fun for FREE in the process.
No its not better to copy someone elses hard work and call it new and or your own.
You know whats even worse? when you first build an album of a good group, U2, or whatever floats your boat. next, you buy another CD. yet you find out that its made by a couple of 14 year high school kids thinking they can create music. thats Redbedlam.
All I can say to that is WHAT? You took what I said and make a jumbled up paragraph, that make no sense what so ever lol. And if you couldnt understand what I was saying with that in my post, then perhaps you are not as intelligent as I was begining to think you were, through our conversations.
I find it hilarious you keep saying its a copy, but when I ask to find an asian MMORPG like it, you avoid the question. I geuss this proves its not a copy eh?
I am not avoiding anything I sad before one or two new features slapped on top does not make it ORIGINAL, And just so you know faction vs faction is not a new concept been arround for a bit usualy that is a aspect that the player takes in their own hands through RP you heard of that ? Dont have much of that in those grind games from what I have seen. mabe a select few and mainly because you dont have time your too busy grinding .
Well either way RF is not worth a monthly fee no matter how ya slice it my friend , trust me I wanted it to be good, wanted to play it and have fun, the sci-fi setting was very appealing and refreshing, but when I saw that it was slapped on a copy of a korean engine all hope died, their is no way in hell that they earned my monthly fee, it will be best spent on a game that I will play... as you should do man, save yourself some cash since your not even playing it currently lol.
I am sure though that RF is glad to take your money while you have FUN playing a different game, hey tell ya what I will make a crap copy of a korean mmo and you can pay me to play L2 hows that sound ... must sound great since thats what you are doing. Ill call it "Gameloadings money dump" hehe gonna be a big seller in korea!
Hell I will even hire ya to defend it in the forums, since ya do such a good job, hows that sound?
Just because you are unable to comprehend his simple metaphor is no reason to falsely accuse him of inferior intellect.
