Some tips if ur asking urself about some questions: 1- the powerful weps were used for balance the game 2- real pvp and fun starts at lvl 45/47 that's why till hitting that u should focus on lvling 3- TO FIX THE GRAPHICS AND THE HEALTH BAR put the brightness down 4- The amount of itens on the floor is important
About the loots. you can just press and hold space bar and your character will take all the loots near him. Space bar is used to attack and take the loots. You can click on the monster and press space bar and your character will attack the monster.
The weapons that you get at start is actually overpowered, you can use it until level 40. But if you use that weapon until level 40 you will loose a lot of points to level up your PT. PT includes melee, range, shield, defense. That's why some players don't really use that weapon. Some players are actually using much lower leveled weapons just to level up their PT. So using only that weapons has a lot of disadvantages.
@jaymunk1 yes there are, the game is open but in the base of each faction there are warps u need a party and the dungeons there are instanced, most ppl do that for the reward at the end.
I dont get it why people compare this to Phantasy Star Online seriously? when this game was at its prime it cramped 20-25k players in one map and PVP each other out for 1 hour for RACE BUFFS AND RACE RESOURCES AND RACE SUPPREMACY
A romance also refers to a narrative in prose or verse that deals with heroes and/or their deeds. That's where the romance in the title comes from most likely.
the over powered weapons happened waaay later on, once they started the F2p stuff. when the game was originally Pay to play, the starting was much more traditional and a much harder grind. it used to take easily 4 months to get to level 40. I think they did it to create a stronger incentive to keep playing to get to your first job advancement at level 30.
@paolox01 It's a first look, meaning showing people who are interested in possibly playing the game what it's like in the beginning and all that. He doesn't have to know everything about the game to show people what the first ten minutes are like in it...
Also, if you turn up the graphics to enable glow, a bunch of UI and other features cease to work right, like anti aliasing or the status bars.... Odd as heck and they may never fix it, but disabling glow (referred to in game as sharpness... ironic since it makes it blurry) makes it nicer
@lightninkyd It's actually not a review its a first look. That means that he hasn't played it to much only read up about it before hand. So obviously he hasn't looked into the controls deeply.
@SmellsLikePSU Downloading from the website should work. RF changed hosting company once and I think the previous hosts were the ones who sold discs. So you're basically connecting to a server that doesn't exist anymore.
@21wolfmoon21 yes, dont know why not :P and if not you can also play on a Private server.... (there are really mush pservers from RF online, with a good poppulation to so...)
Yes, that's what they were for. They were intended for vets who needed to create new characters, to help them level up easier. There was a bug that made them go to everyone, though, even new players.
those overpowered weapons...do you keep em forever or just for a period of time??? pls reply :D i like your video's and il subscribe to ya :P keep up the good work ^^
I remember playing the beta when codemasters published the game with their subscribing model. It was definitely the better times of the game when you didn't start out with cheat weapons and had to actually work your way up. The beginner mobs are now rendered useless and you can achieve lvl 40 in just one day.
@DemonicGameFreak Have you checked to see if your computer match with the system requirements of the game? After you download the 4 files, you have to extract them and the result of the extraction will be a installer.
Sup RF players, be sure to move on to RF Moonlight server (private server) It's a mostly stacked Cora and ACC server, with bells being the underdogs that randomly raid and stuff
its kind of annoying to sign up. you gotta verify everything as you go a long and when you put your email in you gotta go right to your email and then type the code they give you.
dude you do not need to click the items on the floor manually you can just use the SPACEBAR to loot that is why you NEED to follow the tutorial in the beginning.
the miss placement of the HP/Monster HP bar is a bug caused by a wrong installation ;) a reinstall would solve it right away ;) may i ask on which server did u made the video on? :D
@DigitalWebOwner ok.....I never said anything about this game. I was referring to the comment you made, and that this ISN'T a review, it's a first impression...
this game is very active but as a nub starting on the game it will be very difficult, items and weps ppl sell now are quite expensive unless you use CS or get into a strong guild.
@Malkvor Yes it does, And to other people, this game is really good. I enjoyed it, even without the new powerfull stuff that you get. Nice graphics, fun to play. I would recommend it.
since when do you start with such powerful weapons? I used to play it back in 08-09 and i started with the basic "newbie" weapons. Did something change over the time?
@rokikshasas yeah I get that part, what's kinda weird is calling the game stupid because he had to pick up the items by clicking each one. rather than just using space bar, something that he wouldve picked up in less that 5 minutes if he made an effort to do so
lol I got my hands on the disk today.. but when I launch it after installing it says "connecting to update server" then the process stops running.. how do I fix this? Would downloading it from the website work?
why isn't there any sound in game? This game would be funner for me if there was sound but I can't figure out why there is no sound. only sound in the game is in the intro video.
dude i really loved this game when ccr had it ... i mean i played this game faithfully everyday for 2yrs strait its a shame it didnt make it. i still have my dvd rom and case for this game.
im currently downloading the game, and the download speed is very VERY low, it takes 18 hours...anyways, do i still begin with those overpowered weapons? when i create a character? or was it just some kind of event or some temporary update?
Still doesn't mean most of it is medieval fantasy. Sure, there is a lot of it, but not more then other genres. And if you don't like medieval fantasy, you have many excellent choices from those other genres.
Aww, when he went to cross the bridge I wanted him to go to the left to the Ace Bunky Lunkers :( BTW Omer, they give people those weapons because they want the people that played the game before to get back up to the levels they were before without it taking months.
what are the system requierments? it looks like you would need a very good computer to run it, i have a 2002 windows xp, do you think the game would run smoothly on it?
>There is no romance in this game You know that "romance" is not only about love stories right? Romance here most likely refer to this definition: >A long fictitious tale of heroes and extraordinary or mysterious events, usually set in a distant time or place.
I played this game years ago but for some reason the stopped the european server. I'm playing on starting playing this again but can i use my previous account or do i have to make a whole new account? I don't mind if i have to but i was just wondering. if it is then i'll trying looking for my account info.
the of why you should get the "drops" is because they are money,mobs on rf don't drop money just that items,if you want money take that items and sell they
You probably downloaded it from playrf. Because the official RFO is down, Playrf made a new RFO client. Many players lost their high level characters. This is the reason why they put the overpowered weapons in the game. To let the old players of RFO become their old level again in a faster way, so they will not get bored. :P
I Tried playing this, but got bored because I had no idea what to do, and it seemed like none of the npc's were willing to tell you anything either. When do you get to pilot the MECHS???
I barely downloaded Rf Online and when i click on my Rf Online icon to play the game it says connecting to launcher update server and loads for like 10 seconds but then nothing popps up. Anything i can do? any solutions? thx
@herodark123 u need to play the game to make that judgement... low lvl items have nothing on end game. those items are really helpful in the beginning and the beginning of this game.. is very long
Lol you can press and hold space or z to pick up the items with out clicking on them. This by far the best game I've ever played. The story line and pvp system is the very interesting and extremely fun.
I know this is two and a half years late, but if they drop normal level 1 weapons, and you don't like having the overpowered starter weapons.... then just use the drops?
what a bout he population ? is it still populated nicely , i mean like , crowded cus i like crowded servers , more people to know so it won't get boring
+hatuna matata The Codemaster servers for RF Online closed back in 2008 in North America. Too bad. The game wasn't all that bad for a time waster. It's only downside was it was released before F2P was a thing. The game would have survived using a F2P model over a P2P
I saw a random ad of this game that said "free to play" so I clicked on it. It took me to their site and a "trailer". The trailer was just some batshit steampunk anime that didn't tell me anything about the game so I had to go to youtube. I don't expect it will be any good, seeing how they can't even advertise themselves.
try playing accretia , there's sci fi thre and if you get a higher lvl u can get a MAU for ur bellato. now clicking so many times for loot??? press and hold spacebar u'll loot everything
Some tips if ur asking urself about some questions:
1- the powerful weps were used for balance the game
2- real pvp and fun starts at lvl 45/47 that's why till hitting that u should focus on lvling
3- TO FIX THE GRAPHICS AND THE HEALTH BAR put the brightness down
4- The amount of itens on the floor is important
note. you can use Spacebar to loot the stuff. also you can toggel using the \ butten between number and function keys for skill using
About the loots. you can just press and hold space bar and your character will take all the loots near him. Space bar is used to attack and take the loots. You can click on the monster and press space bar and your character will attack the monster.
WASD does work, you get to choose from "Keyboard mode" ( WASD ) and Mouse mode ( Point and click ).
The weapons that you get at start is actually overpowered, you can use it until level 40. But if you use that weapon until level 40 you will loose a lot of points to level up your PT. PT includes melee, range, shield, defense. That's why some players don't really use that weapon. Some players are actually using much lower leveled weapons just to level up their PT.

@jaymunk1
yes there are, the game is open but in the base of each faction there are warps u need a party and the dungeons there are instanced, most ppl do that for the reward at the end.
@PriDeLocDown No. It's free to download and play, but there're cash shop items that you can buy to help you in game. It's optional tho.
I dont get it why people compare this to Phantasy Star Online seriously? when this game was at its prime it cramped 20-25k players in one map and PVP each other out for 1 hour for RACE BUFFS AND RACE RESOURCES AND RACE SUPPREMACY
Exactly bro was an speacial game and will always be in my heart,good times!

@paolox01 It's a first look, meaning showing people who are interested in possibly playing the game what it's like in the beginning and all that. He doesn't have to know everything about the game to show people what the first ten minutes are like in it...
@Darkplayer01 It's not possible to fly, but Bellato's drivers can use MAUs (sort of mech) to fight.
Also, if you turn up the graphics to enable glow, a bunch of UI and other features cease to work right, like anti aliasing or the status bars.... Odd as heck and they may never fix it, but disabling glow (referred to in game as sharpness... ironic since it makes it blurry) makes it nicer
@lightninkyd It's actually not a review its a first look. That means that he hasn't played it to much only read up about it before hand. So obviously he hasn't looked into the controls deeply.
Btw you dont need to click on the item drops many times o.O or somthing... there is an emotions that makes you pcik them up.
@SmellsLikePSU Downloading from the website should work. RF changed hosting company once and I think the previous hosts were the ones who sold discs. So you're basically connecting to a server that doesn't exist anymore.
oh and you don't have to manual click them all, there is a way to auto pick up. JUST FYI
@21wolfmoon21 yes, dont know why not :P
and if not you can also play on a Private server.... (there are really mush pservers from RF online, with a good poppulation to so...)
Yes, that's what they were for. They were intended for vets who needed to create new characters, to help them level up easier. There was a bug that made them go to everyone, though, even new players.
those overpowered weapons...do you keep em forever or just for a period of time??? pls reply :D
i like your video's and il subscribe to ya :P keep up the good work ^^
you don;t have to click the items being dropped by monsters. You just hold "space" on your keyboard ;)
best game play ever. nothing can compare. waiting for rf2 to be release soon.
rf is love, rf is life
@PhYcOnErD
the game does have wasd, u need to press H to chance to keyboard mode
I remember playing the beta when codemasters published the game with their subscribing model. It was definitely the better times of the game when you didn't start out with cheat weapons and had to actually work your way up. The beginner mobs are now rendered useless and you can achieve lvl 40 in just one day.
@DemonicGameFreak Have you checked to see if your computer match with the system requirements of the game? After you download the 4 files, you have to extract them and the result of the extraction will be a installer.
@Damnedsoul53 Point and click, Use arrow keys, Press "H" to enable keyboard mode and use wasd controls.
@gunandhec but won't people keep their starting weapons the entire time because other weapons hit too low?
@PhYcOnErD You can switch to keyboard mode with H. So you can walk with WASD ^^
Sup RF players, be sure to move on to RF Moonlight server (private server)
It's a mostly stacked Cora and ACC server, with bells being the underdogs that randomly raid and stuff
its kind of annoying to sign up. you gotta verify everything as you go a long and when you put your email in you gotta go right to your email and then type the code they give you.
Are you playing now or downloading RF ? How long it take to download and patch cause its been 6 years now when i last played. :)
Which is the best class? I'm just seeing which one is the best,
so I know which one to pick when I download it.
@RexieV theres a buttom that makes you pick them up
@o0wassap0o. no u can change is to wasd and spacebar to jump. i figured this out from other videos
giving strong weapons at the beginig was pretty smart. motivate newbies into playing further
@jitrandom awhile ago i think i saw someone say around lvl 30... and at that time lvl 50 was the lvl cap
dude you do not need to click the items on the floor manually you can just use the SPACEBAR to loot that is why you NEED to follow the tutorial in the beginning.
the miss placement of the HP/Monster HP bar is a bug caused by a wrong installation ;) a reinstall would solve it right away ;)
may i ask on which server did u made the video on? :D
w.a.s.d keys on the keyboard soes work, youy have to press H on the keyboard :) and use q and e to strife left and right
Do you still get those awesome weapons when you start?
@DigitalWebOwner ok.....I never said anything about this game.
I was referring to the comment you made, and that this ISN'T a review, it's a first impression...
it seems to me the beginning wepons are a choice
you can always take a quest weapon and ignore the op ones
at present, are there still many players in this game out there ?
@RFanthem K im downloading the game right now? so when i start the game i get these pro looking weapons like his at 1 still?
this game is very active but as a nub starting on the game it will be very difficult, items and weps ppl sell now are quite expensive unless you use CS or get into a strong guild.
@Malkvor Yes it does, And to other people, this game is really good. I enjoyed it, even without the new powerfull stuff that you get. Nice graphics, fun to play. I would recommend it.
since when do you start with such powerful weapons? I used to play it back in 08-09 and i started with the basic "newbie" weapons. Did something change over the time?
That isn't what was filled with on the CM forums...
@rokikshasas yeah I get that part, what's kinda weird is calling the game stupid because he had to pick up the items by clicking each one. rather than just using space bar, something that he wouldve picked up in less that 5 minutes if he made an effort to do so
so besides rediculously overpowered weapons from the get-go is there any other changes to this game or did he just cover all the points
This game is a time capsule of mid-2000s Korean MMORPGs.
I remember playing this when I was literally about 6, had a unique vibe to it at the time
I have a question.. Do I have to download all the parts of RF Online, or could I just download the recent part or patch thingi
This game has the best War system I have ever seen. It is super fun and very entertaining.
@DigitalWebOwner thats why its not a review its a first look
can this be played/downloaded in the states? if so where please!! i miss this game
The anime may have come out this year but the original Light Novel is from about 2006
lol I got my hands on the disk today.. but when I launch it after installing it says "connecting to update server" then the process stops running.. how do I fix this? Would downloading it from the website work?
wasd does work if you press h ^^
why isn't there any sound in game? This game would be funner for me if there was sound but I can't figure out why there is no sound. only sound in the game is in the intro video.
dude i really loved this game when ccr had it ... i mean i played this game faithfully everyday for 2yrs strait its a shame it didnt make it.
i still have my dvd rom and case for this game.
@xXXHuRRiCaNeXX its first look not some hyper mega killer lord king pvp video
@realsituation
Did you also have a problem with the download? If so could you tell me how you solved it please :P
you can press space bar you know -.- to pick up the loots...
im currently downloading the game, and the download speed is very VERY low, it takes 18 hours...anyways, do i still begin with those overpowered weapons? when i create a character? or was it just some kind of event or some temporary update?
@spenceguitarguy So when im in keyboard mode i move with W,A,S and D right?
Still doesn't mean most of it is medieval fantasy. Sure, there is a lot of it, but not more then other genres. And if you don't like medieval fantasy, you have many excellent choices from those other genres.
RF Online is not a virus. Its Very clean. I got it today. It took me 20 minutes to download. Not that much time,but worth it
Man I loved RF online when it came out. I remeber switching between WoW and RF Online cause I loved them both.
Aww, when he went to cross the bridge I wanted him to go to the left to the Ace Bunky Lunkers :(
BTW Omer, they give people those weapons because they want the people that played the game before to get back up to the levels they were before without it taking months.
@ray1244 RF is based on PvP not PvE, so if you don't like killing mobs forever, it's a good option for you :D
this server is, i think is an international private server. but RF Ph has added returnees weapons to new chars..
what are the system requierments? it looks like you would need a very good computer to run it, i have a 2002 windows xp, do you think the game would run smoothly on it?
Can you walk with the arrow keys or W A S and D ??
>There is no romance in this game
You know that "romance" is not only about love stories right?
Romance here most likely refer to this definition:
>A long fictitious tale of heroes and extraordinary or mysterious events, usually set in a distant time or place.
to pick up the items, use spacebar (;
@Astaticembrace So it's ok for this to give fail impressions about a game?
Is this game worth playing? Coz iv played rappelz and forsaken world but is this andy better?
I played this game years ago but for some reason the stopped the european server. I'm playing on starting playing this again but can i use my previous account or do i have to make a whole new account? I don't mind if i have to but i was just wondering. if it is then i'll trying looking for my account info.

You can catch the itens droped clicking in the " \ " buton
I Tried playing this, but got bored because I had no idea what to do, and it seemed like none of the npc's were willing to tell you anything either. When do you get to pilot the MECHS???
I just downloaded this game and I cannot connect to the update server.. i open it up and after 10 secs it disspears.. any ideas?
@realword27
If you put any caps in your name you have to make sure you enter it in in the log in.
i also watched your Runes of Magic game review and thanks for this vid
I barely downloaded Rf Online and when i click on my Rf Online icon to play the game it says connecting to launcher update server and loads for like 10 seconds but then nothing popps up. Anything i can do? any solutions? thx
hey guys did you can play this game in any country or in Eurepe only ?
@herodark123 u need to play the game to make that judgement... low lvl items have nothing on end game. those items are really helpful in the beginning and the beginning of this game.. is very long
W A S D works u need to set it first to keyboard mode. to loot just press and hold the space bar -_- they give you those weapons to level till 40.
aa wrong info im a rf vet an u havent seen the accretia all mech an scifi + us can use space to pick up the items and u DONT have to use returnees
Lol you can press and hold space or z to pick up the items with out clicking on them. This by far the best game I've ever played. The story line and pvp system is the very interesting and extremely fun.
This kinda reminds me of Star Ocean. I'm giving it a try
@DigitalWebOwner fail comment :)
It's a first look, not a review. ^^
I know this is two and a half years late, but if they drop normal level 1 weapons, and you don't like having the overpowered starter weapons.... then just use the drops?
thual too handed awesome swords?
what a bout he population ? is it still populated nicely , i mean like , crowded cus i like crowded servers , more people to know so it won't get boring
+hatuna matata The Codemaster servers for RF Online closed back in 2008 in North
America. Too bad. The game wasn't all that bad for a time waster.
It's only downside was it was released before F2P was a thing. The game
would have survived using a F2P model over a P2P
I saw a random ad of this game that said "free to play" so I clicked on it. It took me to their site and a "trailer". The trailer was just some batshit steampunk anime that didn't tell me anything about the game so I had to go to youtube. I don't expect it will be any good, seeing how they can't even advertise themselves.
Space bar is the auto pick up loot button so you just slam the space bar every time you kill a few things lol
try playing accretia , there's sci fi thre and if you get a higher lvl u can get a MAU for ur bellato. now clicking so many times for loot??? press and hold spacebar u'll loot everything
Time for a dumb question. What is the max lvl in this game...?
