RF Online

Sup,

I am really anticipating RF Online after reading a preview of it in the current Play Magazine. Anyone else? There are some sweet pics of iton IGN here. . Anyone going to play, or are playing the beta? Is it more like FFXI or WoW? I think I read somewhere that the Sega PSO team worked on it, is this true? Maybe the gameplay will be more PSO then. I read that there is a heavy PvP element to it.

I heard its going to be like Lineage with a killer grind and heavy thought on pvp and player interactions. I am excited to give it a go. I signed up for beta hope i get in. The graphics look fantastic i love the art style, PVP should be good. The game just looks exciting all around

I love the setting too. Futuristic weapons mixed with classic swords etc. I like elvs and robobts battling it out. I like a hard grind but I do hope its not as crazy as high level Lineage grind which finally got to me

What do you mean by "hard grind" ? Like it takes awhile to lvl? I played FFXI till lvl 35 bkm/20whm and that took some time and patients. I love the look of the elves with magic and the huge guns! I think Im going human though. I want a custom Mech.

Do you know if you can party with other races, or is the only interaction with other races pvp? I wonder how customisable the game is. I dont really care about the facial features/hair/body/etc...but I care about weapons and armor. In FFXI you could look at someone and see how battle tested they where, or how much exp they had because of their high lvl/rare stuff. I hope this relflects lvls in someway like that.

Hard Grind means along time to level.

In mid level lineage i would gain 00.3% for each kill in my 50's. So to gain 100% to level it took hours upon hours of grinding away. It was fun but after a while a little too much. I hear once you hit 70's you get 00.01 for 3 kills lol

From what I have seen from RF screen the armor seems very diverse so. It seems you can generally tell level range just from armor.

As for pvp I cant confirm but i read that anyone is fair game for pvp. Its not like WOW where you pick a side. I am not sure though because when you go to a website it says choose your side. I think it might just be like ffx1 where you fight for your area is some conquest of some sort, while pvp is still open.

From what I've read there is a daily inter spieces war and VERY level based. Basically it's just an easier more carebearish version of lineage with a more futuristic setting, for better or worse.
