Codemasters Online Gaming has today announced the availability of pre-order packs for Rising Force Online, its luscious looking and much-anticipated sci-fi fantasy MMORPG. RF Online marks Codies' first tentative steps into the fast-growing MMORPG market. Check out these new screens from the game, which SPOnG received earlier today.
Anyone who buys an RF Online pre-order pack gets guaranteed access to the RF Online Gold beta test, which is shortly to go live, along with a soundtrack CD and some other exclusive RF Online gubbins. The ‘final’ fully tested version is scheduled to go live on Feb 24th.
Before we go on, SPOnG would just like to ask - what is it about MMORPG’s that makes them take over people’s brains? Seemingly normal folk start playing a little bit of World of Warcraft, and within no time at all they are spending all of their non-sleeping, non-working time holed up in dark rooms imagining themselves as little dwarves. Its certainly a bizarre hobby (addiction?), yet one which millions of gamers worldwide have embraced wholeheartedly.You can Buy RF Online.
Especially, that is, those crazy Koreans who, if we believe some western media reports, regularly collapse dead, straight onto their keyboard in their local Internet café, from playing the latest MMORPG for 20 days straight with no sleep. SPOnG reckons that all this must be true, cos The Sun sez.
Anyway, back to RF Online. The look and feel of the game is pretty unique – it’s a mix of more traditional fantasy rf gold content alongside a more unique and futuristic sci-fi and cyberpunk feel. The game is set in a deep space galaxy known as Novus, where players take their pick to join one of three all-powerful warring factions, all battling it out for total control of the Novus galaxy.
The three character types you can choose from are from each of the main factions. Firstly you can choose from the Bellato Union and take control of individual and massive robot-like battle units. Then again you might opt for Holy Alliance Cora; a mystical race that utilises the power of magic. Finally you could plump for the Accretia Empire, a futuristic alien race that boasts advanced weaponry systems. Essentially you can pick from Mech-Warrior, Elf or Cyborg(rf money).
