About the game from a player
I played many mmorpgs before and have finaly choosen RF as my game of choice. The game haves bugs, yes, that is normal for a constantly changing game enviroment, but the problems get fixed! The servers are regulary maintenanced and bugs, bots, ingame gold sellers and other problems get fixed and removed. The game has lots and i mean lots of players on 3 servers. Begginers should choose Novus as their server and not Solus as its recomended by GMs. Novus contains the most players as it is the oldest server and most fun to play. PvP is like "oh yeah!" but it only makes sence above lvl 40. If and when u start playing the game write a coment or two here or on the official Codemasters forum. Just use your netbrowser of choice and type in RF online. Have fun and enyoj gaming!
Blah-blah?
Comments
Uhm, and why do you recommend them to play on novus? That seems stupid, all the people there are too high level for others to compete, while solus only has a few level 50s... What reason do you have?
Solus is awesome!
I'm a Cora and the chat is pretty fun(except the occasional 12 year old). There's only a few level 50's(and thats for all the races; the first Cora got level 50 a few days ago i think)
The first bell just became 50 yesterday.
I have played RF Online for 3 months now, first on Novus and then Lumen. I am disappointed with the game, the problem with gold spammers, bots and hackers takes weeks to get fixed. A recent hacker who was videoed breaking every rule took over 3 weeks to be removed. I doubt all the high level armour and weapons he created have been removed. There are many bugs and exploits, we had several server crashes daily till Code masters discovered it was being done by players to recover items lost during crafting ( there is normally a 5 minute roll back after a crash ). There is a potion bug/exploit that makes it nearly impossible to kill a player in PvP. There are exploits that enable a player to skip the equiping a weapon animation.
The Bots use a map exploit to jump to a new location, sometimes under or several metres over the terrain. The HQ area is full of gold farming Bots making it difficult to finish quests in the area
The Map chat in HQ can not be used unless you block several gold spammers who change the names often, my block list became full after a week.
The game is free and can be fun to play if you enjoy PvP. You will need to spend some money in the cash shop at 40+ if you want to remain competitive in PvP.
Codemasters needs to employ a few more GM's and get the new code from Korea to fix the bugs/exploits to make the game fair and enjoyable.
I'm not going to comment on how bad CM is doing it's job or how inexperienced and understaffed their team is, I just gonna say that the game still has same bugs it had two years ago. The game will eventually move to a hacking protection system like gameguard, but I don't know how much (or little) good it'll do as many players say the system has it's flaws across other MMOs. Not implying anything, but I "hear" PrivServs offer more fun with removed grind and more hackers.
Cheers.
the gold spammers thoghu are bad after like level 10 you will hardly need to go back to HQ unless pots.
and yes as its became free CM have dumped it to the bottom of there list of priorities but it a fun game and worth the d-load.....
i havent got bored of it in like 3 months and thats a surprise for me and MMO's
(if any1 wins the lottery buy the rights for the game and do it up )
GLORY TO THE EMPIRE! XD
if u like to grind and pvp games for u
I wouldnt be so quick to blame codemasters. Most korean games suffer like this and the operators in the regions are virtually powerless to alter the game.
There isnt much to this game at all no depth. If you like the anarchy and exploits it prob is fun - if you cant beat them join them.
Caveat Emptor
i play this game for little less than a week. It is shallow, grind fest at its best...but for now its brainless fun. get full bag of ammo, find party and go mindless grind same mobs for hours and hours
I tried TabulaRasa and that is visualy better but crapyes gameplay than this game. Instances are 5 min short and that is fun...
What i heared tho that they will make it pay2play game, which will for sure turn off alot of ppl including me. I have nothing against micro transaction sistem, buying some items which are NOT musthave to enjoy game
