RF Starts Cleaning Up Game Economy

June 16, 2009 · Filed Under MMORPG News, RF Online · 1 Comment

When I wrote about Novus Rising, the new RF patch which fixed the server crashes and raised the level cap to 66, I got a lot of comments and questions about our plans to fix the economy. As you may all know, the game economy is rather stunted with the influx of duped and illegal items which came from causing the servers to crash and exploiting this to make illegal, duped items. I told you then that everything will be addressed in due time.

Now, we’re starting to make good on that promise.

The RF team has initiated steps to clean up the economy inside the game. Good news, indeed!

RF Adds Wildcard to NEST 2009

June 2, 2009 · Filed Under LIVE 2009, RF Online · Comment

Taking cue from the success of the Ragnarok RPC wildcard phase of the tournament season, RF Online adds another layer to this year’s Novus Elite Squad Tournament (NEST).

In the RF Wildcard phase, players can vote for the nominated guilds via top-up points. Each top up has a corresponding value. Right now, the Wilcard (also called Carvan’s Champion) is done with the nomination phase and has 5 guilds nominated per server.

RF Online SP3 Issue and Solution

May 11, 2009 · Filed Under RF Online · 3 Comments

One of the issues encountered during our campaign for the new RF Novus Rising patch is the fact that it needs Windows SP3 to run. Well, after some testing, we found out that it only needs a PART of service pack 3: the Visual C++ Redistributable.

This is good news to all players/cafe owners who experience the error above. You no longer need to download SP3 in order for Novus Rising to work.

RF Rises Anew

April 27, 2009 · Filed Under RF Online · 4 Comments

Last Friday, April 24, we took all the RF servers offline to setup the newest patch, Novus Rising. It took more than 24 hours non-stop to do. A million thanks goes to all the dedicated people who’ve sacrificed sleep (and their weekends) just to make sure that Novus Rising will be up and running.

The servers finally came up around 8am on Saturday morning. It wasn’t 100% perfect but we’re going to patch a lot of stuff ASAP.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped us make Novus Rising a success.

RF Server Crashes Reduced

February 26, 2009 · Filed Under MMORPG News, RF Online · 9 Comments

We’ve been slowly winning against the “War on Terror” on RF Online. These “terrorists” are the cheaters and hackers who crash the RF servers on purpose.

Recently, through our OWN initiative (without the help of CCR), we did something that reduced the server crashes. Of course, we can’t tell you the exact details otherwise the cheaters and hackers will use it against us. Although the problem is not totally solved, at least there’s a huge reduction in the number of server crashes.

I’m republishing the official statement that we posted at the RF site here for your convenience

RF Philippines War on Terror

January 16, 2009 · Filed Under MMORPG News, RF Online · 18 Comments

I won’t keep it a secret. It’s obviously the talk of the entire RF community.

A lot of hackers and cheaters are deliberately crashing the RF servers so they can dupe some items. This has been a really pain in the @$$ for us and our loyal and fair players. We’ve been banging our heads together and the team has come up with a temporary solution to combat the “War on Terror” - disable both the registration page and character deletion indefinitely. This way, the cheaters and crashers won’t be able to make nuisance accounts to crash the servers and do illegal trades of dupe items.

Hitler Quits RF Online

January 7, 2009 · Filed Under RF Online, Videos · 5 Comments

This video first became popular with Hitler being banned from Xbox Live.

Now, in a cool and funny remix by Orkzie, Hitler and his Bellato army commanders are frustrated about the cheat engine users and hackers. So are we. Yeah, we hear you guys. We’re working on it. We hope that CCR finally listens and helps us rid the game of these darn cheaters.

Now, watch the video after the break. Enjoy!
