Feedback: RF New Server

May 4th, 2009 6 Comments

I’ve been asked this question lately by a lot of players: Will there be a new server for RF Online Philippines?

The answer is; not at the moment. With the advent of great developments for Novus Rising, allow me to share with you my own points on the matter.

After the break…

Well, for one thing (and let me be honest with you), servers cost money. LOTS of money. I’m sure you all know that Level Up is a business and costs need to be justified. Right now, the 5 servers of RF Online still can accomodate the playing community so there’s no need for a new server at the moment.

Most players argue that the duped items, the inflated economy of the servers are not good situations to play in. Well, that’s true. But like I said in the past, we shall tackle that ONE STEP AT A TIME.

Right now, the RF Philippines team is focused on fixing the crashes on the servers (which is the main cause of all the duped items). We’ve done that with Novus Rising. As soon as everything is stable (i.e. minor bugs fixed, item mall is fully operational) then we will get down to work on fixing the economy.

As of this writing, my RF team has already drafted some plans towards this. I can’t share with you the details yet but rest assured that it will involve finding and getting rid of duped items. We’re even laying the groundwork for an amnesty program so those that bought duped stuff and were banned can get back their characters and start playing again.

I’d like everyone to know that we’re aware of the situation and we’re working closely with the developer (who has direct control on how to fix stuff) so that we can bring a better playing experience for all RF players. We’ve done the first big step with Novus Rising, which took almost a year in the making.

We thank you for your patience, loyalty and vigilance to the game. We are asking you to join us once more in this crusade to bring a fair and level playing field for everyone.

If you have ideas on how to effect this, I’d be more than glad to hear them from your comments below.

In behalf of the the RF team,

Strength and Honor!

GM T

    I am aware that a new server costs lots of money so my suggestion is to merge the two least populated servers into one server so that we can use the other server as a “new server”. I know that a server merge is complicated but I think it’s the best option we have that will not cost too much. The “new server” will surely attract players to play RF again because a lot of players wants a fresh start. It will also attract new players because some players wants to play a game if they start it with everyone else. Just in case that we’ll have a new server, PLEASE be EXTREMELY VIGILANT and ACTIVE in taking down violators and monitoring the new server because CE can still breach the current version of RF and it’ll end up the same as the other server which will the defeat the purpose of having a new one.

    Servers cost so much that when they merged all the RO commercial servers, they never bothered getting or even upgrading the server that will be used.

    Give everyone a brake with this crappy BS and stop wasting peoples time. With the way LU! charges for their product (time subscription and item mall) and how crappy almost all (99%), if not all, their employees are, I don’t see why money is such an issue.

    LU! couldn’t even get a competent employee(s), what more fixing a major problem like this? The way things are going, all LU! does is get every penny they can in exchange for little expenses. Milkers. :)

    We are vigilant about CE. Merging is also an option that we’re going to study. Thanks for the suggestion.

    An Rf player here asking for amnesty, I was turned down by 1 on your GMs. Sir Vessago with all respect expalined that it would be unfair if I will be granted another chance to have my character back.

    Ive explained to him that my sister who is playing the game at that time since i decided to hiberbnate accidentally picked up an item that was been distributed through the race. As expected from a kid she kept the item even sell it through the map chat. To cut it short she was banned with my character.

    I ask Sir Vessago if i ca have my character back and even suggest to delete all my items. My appeal was denied and his reply goes like, I have offended the game because my character was proven to have the alledge hot items.

    I would like to react on what you said Sir tris “As of this writing, my RF team has already drafted some plans towards this. I can’t share with you the details yet but rest assured that it will involve finding and getting rid of duped items. We’re even laying the groundwork for an amnesty program so those that bought duped stuff and were banned can get back their characters and start playing again.”

    Is it still possible or just give me a clear point that I could have agree better than the explanation of SIr Vessago If my character and alike could still find light in this dark tunnel.

    My character, others as well who were banned because of this hot items is not source, I dont even give a damn interest on those who do it. My concern here is that, Its unfair to us who are just playing the game and were banned and the culprit is still at loose.
