While player-versus-player (PVP) gameplay is a part of nearly every online role-playing game, it's going to be a big focus in RF Online. In most online role-playing games, PVP battles are limited to usually dozens of players at a time. In RF Online, PVP battles can incorporate thousands of players. In fact, they're already a regular occurrence in RF Online, as there's a daily battle for control of a strategic area in the game that draws thousands of players every day.
As with any online role-playing game, your first task will be to create your own custom hero or heroine, based on one of the three distinct factions in the game. This choice will affect not only the look of your character, but also the way you play that character, since races depend on magic or technology to survive. We've got background information on each of RF Online's three factions, as well as exclusive new images in our screenshot gallery.
