Rising Force Online is coming in the first quarter of 2006. Created by and licensed from CCR of South Korea, Codemasters is porting this highly popular massive multiplayer online roleplaying game to the States this Spring. Sporting over one million users in Asia, RF Online features a mix of traditional fantasy style roleplaying gameplay with action adventure sci-fi aspects, ala Final Fanatsy.RF Online is set in the Novus galaxy where three very distinct civilizations are at war with each other. The Bellato Union are a cross between Humans and Dwarfs and they have the ability to engineer and create powerful Mech suits to pilot. The Holy Cora Alliance resembles the traditional Elves of Tolkien fare and they have the ability to use magic and summon humongous mystical beast to do their bidding. Lastly, the Accretia Empire is made up of a futuristic robot race whose only goal is to pillage and spread across more territory. The Accretians have guns...huge guns.
RF Online's game engine will predominately be focused on the Player vs. Player aspects; however, the game also features a daily pre-organized global battle where players from all factions will gather for a humongous melee to determine who has the rights to mine precious resources. The victorious faction will retain control of the mining area for 24 hours. Mining leads to acquiring valuable credits, items, and experience necessary for leveling up your character.
