ABOUT RISING FORCE ONLINE
RF Online is a totally FREE TO PLAY fantasy MMOG, an epic mix of traditional fantasy 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
