RF Online gets new world

By Robert Purchese Published 12 November, 2007

Too many people playing.

Codemasters Online Gaming has had to add a new world to RF Online to cope with so many new people wanting to play.

Reinvigoration came after subscription and download fees were abolished recently, making the MMO completely free to play.

It has prompted Codemasters Online to create a new Planet Wars update that will let you shoot each other in space, as you fly through lots of new planets and systems.

RF Online launched in early 2006 and got shouted at by us for its repetitive and tedious gameplay. Naturally it has undergone many changes since then, so it may be worth a free look if a blend of sci- fi and epic fantasy floats your boat.

    They'd have to pay ME to play that godawful game.

    its ok for a free game now. Much better than alot of free mmo's out there (i mean free to play and free client). It doesn't hold upto long sessions but for a quick blast every now and then its pretty fun... and now that you don't have to pay, justifies the small amount you will be playing it :)

    Poor Codemasters. Four main MMOs, two turned out to be so bad they resorted to giving them away, D&DO is apparently swirling around the plughole, and I'd be very worried for LotRO if this form continues.

    Fury seems to be turning into a lemon too. "PvP Reborn", hah, true.

    LotRO is a nice WoW "clone" with a far better care for the source material than the abomination that is Star Wars: Galaxies, so it will survive.

    Rubies of Eventide, ArchLord and Anarchy Online also are free to play (the latter without most expansions though) so it might be a trend for declining MMOs...
