Well I hate wow and love the feeling of being a part of huge battles. The only problem is ppl say the whole game is a grind. I dont mind grinding i just dont have time to play for 8 hours a day. Is this one of those games that u have to play for months on end just to be good in pvp?

if you can spam-pots and press one button..then yes..you have already masterd RF pvp.
you can technically go when ever you want, but your much better off working up your skills w/ pve until about lvl 25. It only takes a few days and helps you get a hang of the controls and the skill system. That will prove vital when you actually take place in the chip wars.
so to answer your question it is really not balanced to lower levels because you need to use the lower levels to build your charactor up to be competetive, or useful.
in addition pot spamming is absoultly necessary but you need to be using your skills while you are doing it, and also the battles are not turn based so you need to be constantly attacking, this is scary to wow players because they cannot chug pepsi and eat doughnuts while battling
RF Online isn't worth anyone's time and money unless you're so into asian MMOs that there is nothing else to your life. Problems with RF Online? There are many. Pros to RF Online? There are few.
Solo the meager and redundant PvE content, nearly devoid of quests while grinding the same things over and over again ad nausium.
Enjoy the fact that you look like everyone else of your race with little to no customization.
Be prepared to spam your keyboard for skills & potions. Keyboard smashing is the key to this game. If you're looking for actual tactics, planning or real strategy, look to the horizon as far past this game as you can. No, you won't find yourself able to eat donuts and drink pepsi, but do you really need to embed your hand inthe keyboard to be satisfied with your game?
Personally, and this is only my opinion, I am of the mindset that only illegitimate teenage boys obsessed with having sex with small Japanese girls will be playing this title.

while i find your post to be hilarious, i am inclined to disagree based on the facts that i there is more to my life than asian mmo and dreaming of little japaneese girls. while i may find eastern women attractive, i am happily married, have a child, a house and a full time job. Despite that i still ejoy this game.

Well depend on what you're looking for ... the graphic is like anime drawing ... grinding with mostly kill task ... but i'm waiting for the huge battle to conclude whether i'll stay or go
Ok here is the best advice I can give you, grow a spine and try it? Your right you may waste money you might love it. Don't listen to any opinion because frankly everyone is jaded one side or the other. One guy loves it because large-scale battles own (its true they do and pot chugging and key bored mashing big deal? Welcome to reality wow has that awesome 5 min cool down on a pot lol wtf?) Anyways the other hates it maybe because he had a shit experience maybe because he had bad lag or maybe just because he is one sided who knows. There is only one way to find out if a game sucks or its the game you will be playing for the next year, and thats by playing it.
(I like RF allot i have played every mmo really auto assault, eve, uo (my favorit to bad they destroyed it) eq, wow, Lineage 2, Toon town (girl friend tricked me !!! heh it was still amusing mini games) FFXI (i liked it allot economy crashed kinda got tired of it) SWG (hahahahahahaha oh man no comment) Coh ( fun game cool concept but just wasnt for me) Ragnerok (cool looks like FFt its good for a bit then gets old) Planet side (very fun i still play from time to time) EVE (eh very interesting game but not for me) Daoc (i hated it, not sure why it just wasn't fun) Rose online (eh its ok not worth to pay for) ect.. you get the point you have to play to figure it out. Given some of these games I mooched off friends but some i bought and they sit in the corner collecting dust but at least now I found the game i enjoy.
This is a good game. The graphics are great if you like Anime style art, but everything is kept a bit simple so accommodate for better gameplay in larger battles. Charecter customization options are also limited for this reason. The UI is very different from Western MMOs and takes a bit of getting used to. After you are used to the interface and have customized it to your liking you will find the controls are tight and very nicely done. I can switch tasks and wipe through mobs very quickly and the bird's eye view camera angle is great. There is little story to speak of so you won't be doing alot of errands for NPCs.
This is about logging on the UK and crushing someone with your mech while someone in Seattle, WA curses you and vows to get his revenge. This has a more open ended character development design and by leveling the skills you want and wearing the armor you want you can tweak out the performance of your character towards your unique fighting style.
I loved WoW when it came out and I like this too. They are very different games though but if you like a good community and a very nice little game system you will probably like this game. If you do not like grinding, if you need NPCs to make you run errands for them or if you need safe areas in a PvP game, then this may not be for you.

WOW gives you the option to grind like a mindless drone in order to level just like RF...but WOW also gives you the option to take on quest if you prefer. And all the while...you can craft, duel, PVP, Raid, fish....you can do whatever you want.....RF allows 2 things....1. grind like a monkey on crack and 2. offers a weak version of PVP....Wow offers multiple battle grounds to duke it out...or you can take the fight to the enemy...either way the PVP options are superior to RF.....conclusion...WOW=GOOD....RF+BLOWS.

Hey dumbass questing is grinding except now you have taken 5 minutes of time to read some badly scripted story that makes no sense since everyone does it. Also no one but you thinks wow pvp is superior so stop pooring BS on everything..
durling? pointless waste of time to boost low ass egos
Fishing? Yeah sitting there doing a two point click with a single animation is sooo much more advanced that crafting stuff in RF
raid Sorry we dont have 8 hours a day to do a single raid place and even if i did why would i for the possiblilty of a new peice of clothing?
craft yeah thats so differnt then rf i mean you around around do your crafy lets see herbalism and you pick flowers and make the numbers go up...wait...that sounds allot like training a skill in rf....ut oh hypocrit detected.......

Hey dicckkkears....just because you like the numb nut grind of RF...dont take it out on a superior game like WOW. Now tell me you taRD...what does RF have to offer that WOW does not have??? Look crack-head...WOW does everything and has everything RF has to offer..only WOW does it better. Like it or not RF=bloWS...and WOW is king!! It's good to be KING..huh.
What does rf offer? The best thing it offers is weeding out people like you so that we can enjoy the game. If WoW is the kind it is sure loseing a ton of members. Last i checked people were quitting in droves everytime they release a patch its to buy time but it never works.

to be honest wow is not a bad game, it was not my cup of tea, i found it kidish. what i do hate about it is the communtiy whcih is comprised of a bunch of ignorant, lazy 12-15 year olds or worse 20 somethings living in their parents basements. the game is played, and if i want to support Blizzard, one of my favorites i will play some Starcraft, whcih imo is the only game they currently have worth playing.
so i would then answer your question by saying no one who plays rfo acts like a 3 year old, that i have seen, in or out of the game.
What I cant understand is why would people that consider WoW so much the best MMO in the market doing here than? Why do they have a need to find another MMO or play another MMO in teh first place if WoW is so darn good? Why would even bother coming to a forum and post this game is crap if after all they want to play is WoW.
Or maybe if they think that have a need to come hang out at another MMO forum instead of WoW that maybe there is something truely wrong with WoW. It only prouves that well there not even worth listening to. Since well maybe since they like to hang here they secretly love RFO and just cant get enought of talking about it even if its bad.

Nope I started one week ago and I got to level 25, didnt really power level I spended alot of time leveling my PTs and making cash. So if you take your time 1 week to get to 25 and start getting the missions for the War Chips now if you giong to be able to 1vs1 anyone. NOPE. Of course that not the goal here. During chip wars actualy everyone of any level is wanted because you always need interferrance in a war. I couldnt kill those higher levels than me but I had my ranger armor on and force them to run after me so meaning some were separeted and the higher levels had less on there back. Hehe Divide and conquer and it work. With a brawl with in between 100s of players things can get interresting. I manage to get some pvp contribution points while doing poke shots that annoyed the ennemy hehe.

if you are looking for another wow, or eq, or ffxi, no.
if you are looking for large scale battles at the cost of "content" then yes.
you should really weigh the fore-mentioned becaue if you don't you'll just become another flamer on the rfo forums

Your saying the pvp is easy but im asking is it only for the highest levels are do they balance it for the lower levels?
you can technically go when ever you want, but your much better off working up your skills w/ pve until about lvl 25. It only takes a few days and helps you get a hang of the controls and the skill system. That will prove vital when you actually take place in the chip wars.

Its so hard to decide it seems that ppl have extreme opinions of this game. They ethier hate it or love there is no inbetween.
Ok here is the best advice I can give you, grow a spine and try it? Your right you may waste money you might love it.

this game is only for fanbois.
where do people apply to become fanbois for this garbage anyway ? im really wondering ...
