Exclusive RF Online Magazine Available Now for Pre-Order

Codemasters Online Gaming is pleased to announce the launch of the official RF Online Magazine, a glossy, 68-page, full-colour magazine that will run alongside the game, packed with news, interviews, exclusive fiction, previews of game events, player guides, guild profiles and in-depth features.

Produced by MMM Publishing and available worldwide from www.codemasters.com/eshop or www.rf-onlinegame.com, the magazine will be published quarterly and will run ahead to game updates and enhancements. This will enable the magazine to bring details of all the latest news, previews and exclusives to the RF Online fan base before they're released anywhere else.

Also on offer for RF Online subscribers is the chance to advertise your Guild and have it appear in the magazine; etched in print forever. Expand your Guild and increase your chance of taking down rival Factions - the RF Online Magazine will give you the notoriety you desire.

"We're excited to be producing the official RF Online Magazine for Codemasters Online Gaming" commented Ian Bond, Publishing Director at MMM Publishing. "We've been overwhelmed by the amount of fan fiction, guides and Guild adverts that have been submitted so far and we're sure that RF Online's growing fan base will love the magazine".

ABOUT RF ONLINE

RF Online is an epic mix of traditional fantasy MMOG mixed with unique futuristic sci-fi action to bring an entirely new and original take on the existing MMORPG genre. Set in the deep space galaxy of Novus, RF Online sees you take your pick from three all-powerful warring factions and leading your character into the final battle for control over the entire Novus galaxy.

RF Online delivers a unique approach to Player versus Player gameplay, utilising one of the most advanced combat systems of any MMO title. Full-scale battles break out daily as thousands of players engage in deadly wars - the reward of victory is high: the winning race gains control of the game world's most valuable mine and its precious resources. Each race has its own characterisation, with skills and abilities taken from both traditional fantasy and science fiction.

Players can join the Bellato Union and take control of their incredible Mech battle units, the like of which has never been seen before in any MMO game. Alternatively, give your allegiance to the Holy Alliance Cora, a mystical and fantasy-orientated race, or sign up to the mighty Accretia Empire, a futuristic robotic race intent on pillaging resources and spreading devastation across the entire Novus sector with their advanced weapon systems. RF Online for PC, launched in the US, the UK and Europe in February 2006. For more information, visit the official website at www.rf-onlinegame.com
