Gamespot ReviewFeatures:
Multi-Race
RF Online enforces three main races:
Full DescriptionBellato Union
This is the closest faction to Human (as in WoW)
Holy Alliance CoraThis race is the closest to Elf (as in WoW)
Accretia EmpireWhile this race is like Robots
All-Warring Races (no alliances)RF Online does not let you play and hunt in peace, all three races in RF Online are always in constant war. During your hunt, you might encounter other races trying to tackle your race's growth by PK (Player Killing) your growing buds (your lower lvl players so to say). This usually happens when you're hitting level 25... The quests at this level requires you to travel and hunt at neutral area which all races can enter.
Another special feature would be the
Chip War.
Every 8(eight) hours you will be prompted that a Chip War has begun. All players with a good level (30++) is suggested to come (usually lead by high-leveled players) to battle a chaotic free-for-all three-ways battle-royale frenzy to destroy other races' chip control tower and taking its Chip to your own Tower.
Victory in Chip War means, until the next Chip War is declared, the winning race can mine at the centre of the mine, guarded by the Holystone Keeper. Mining at the centre of the mine is roughly 3x faster than mining on each races' portal. So if you can imagine, you can basically expect to have your gain in 10 minutes mining in the centre as much as your 30 minutes. mining at your portal... and if for 5 hours (the shortest Chip War interval) meaning you can get as much as 15 hours of mining valuable ores that can be sold or used for Crafting.
Multi-Job/Profession/Class
There are 4 main class available to each races except for Accretia Empire
Full Description- Warrior
- Ranger
- Specialist
- Spiritualist
- Warriors are as always the character with more health and melee damage.
- Rangers too are as always the character with more agility and dexterity who use ranged weaponry.
- Specialists are the character with the ability to craft weapons, armors, ammunitions and even create stronger, better equipments for your race.
- Spiritualists (except for Accretia) are the magician of the game. As always you will rely on different tree of elemental spells ranging from the Four Main Elements (Fire, Water, Earth and Wind), or the Two Opposing Elements (Holy and Dark)
Job/Profession/Class Advancement
Once your character reached level 30, you can advance your class into a far more superior class which gave you more proficiency and a new set of skills (or open new features special only for certain class).
A Warrior can choose between the damage specialist (with two-handed weapons or dual wielded blades) or he can choose to be the Tank (as in WoW term) using shield and one-handed weapon as his main arsenal.
This class advancement applies to all races with minor skill and proficiency differences.
A Ranger choose between the stealthy scout, a high-damage ranged attacker, a trapper and also (only for Accretia) a launcher. A scout is usually equipped with invisible skills(cloaking), and traps. A ranged attacker is equipped with skills that either enhance your damaging abilities, or disable your foes with chants and spells while shooting at them.
While a Launcher, is a ranged attacker that wield big futuristic guns. Special to Accretian, a Launcher can damage a group of mob simultaneously. Although a Launcher is not much different than an area-damage ranger. Many mettles have underestimated them and paid hefty in return. A group of well-organized launcher is capable of holding the whole race at bay with their constant bombardments.
A Specialist generally focuses on the ability to craft materials into more useful equipments that can be sold for profit or given to a friend for a better purpose. As for each race, specialists have their own uses other than crafting:
Accretian:
Accretian Specialists can advance to Engineer who can construct siege towers to protect important assets and areas. At further level, Engineer is able to convert into a Scientist who is able to heal and resurrect their allies, or a Battle Leader who can provide a speed for its allies and decrease the armor of their opponents.
Corite:
Corite Specialists are limited to a linear job advancement path, after advancing to craftman at level 30, they only have one option being an Artist at level 40. As their abilities does not differ much from Accretian except the Scientist's healing and the Battle Leader capabilities of buff and debuff.
Bellatos:
Bellatos Specialists are special. They are able to advance into a race-unique class called Driver.
A Driver's ability is to drive a Massive Armored Unit or MAU in short. This MAU is a giant machine with enormous defence and offence power. Whilst having superior prowess, the creation, upgrades and maintenance of MAUs often cost a mountain of fortunes. A Driver which later can advance into Armor Rider, should be prepared for repetitive, daily, money raid for their MAUs. All in all, the MAUs provided terror in the battle field. Available to major upgrade into the Black version, known as BMAU (Black MAU), these Giant machines are the meat of the war and should not be underestimated. Taking a group BMAU down is always a hot discussion of strategies and tactics at other races' forums and chats.
Last Spiritualists...
They used magic earned through manipulation of element. Their skills are divided into elements and each elements have many force reavers which enables its wielder to cast different magics.
Spiritualists work the same for Bellatos and Corites except that Corites have their own race-unique class, the Summoner.
Spiritualists in general can advance into a more damaging one.
For Bellato, the other option would be to advance into a support class known as Chandra. Chandra are able to heal and cast many buffs to support its allies.
As for Corite, the option would be the famous Summoner class.
Being in this class, a character can summon an Animus which can assist the caster in the battlefield. There are four different Animus:
- Hecate - the Force Animus (balanced off/def)
- Innana - the Healer Animus (heal the caster)
- Paimon - the Sword Animus (absorb damage - Tank)
- Isis - the Aura Animus (the highest DPS)
Hench the Animus is also subject to leveling, the higher the level, the stronger it is. (HP-wise and damage-wise)
Male/Female Characters
For you who have the urge to play as your opposite gender, this game offers a male/female difference of characters, except for Accretia tho (how would you differ a male/female robot anyway :p). The main difference would be the type of clothing, the face textures and the hair models. And FYI, the Corites females are by far the most tempting playable character for us boys :)
