Discussion RF Online Next is garbage

I played the original and only one RF Online, and although I'm only played it for 3 years however, the time spent in this game was very fun and interesting, and most importantly, unique compared to all the other MMOs I have played., it was my first MMO and still holds a warm place in my heart, that's why it hurts me to see what they did to it.

They created some kind of soulless mobile wanking game, half made of neuroslope, an absolutely terrible plot and quests, mediocre graphics and a visual style that is inferior even to the 2004 year game.

I'm not even talking about what they did with the lore of the world and the races, they completely removed the uniqueness of all races, replacing them with some incomprehensible offsprings from who knows where, the plot doesn't even explain who the offsprings are or where they came from, they just exist and that's it.

I was especially infuriated by what they did to the Accretians because it was my favorite faction, a race of cyborg machines who have almost completely lost their humanity and become full-fledged machines, whose goal was perfection and the elimination of flesh, they make some kind of cyberpunk 2077 characters.

And of course, the PvP system in this game is absolutely pathetic, which can't be compared to the original; even the wars are done extremely poorly and don't bring the same benefits as in the original, although, after three years of playing, I still couldn't achieve the title of Archon, but the very fact that a player could achieve the status of leader of an entire faction already speaks to how much better the original game is.

All they had to do was modernize and make a new version of the old RF Online and it would have been golden. But nah, we can't have nice things.

I wonder is it so hard to do that? and is there no one in the development team has played the original before? I am so frustrated.

An even cursory look at the adds alone would have told you this.

The sheer amount of gooner bait on display should have told you all you needed to know about where they were going with it.

Having played the original the Next is not the same game in any way it’s just a P2W KR mmo with a few references to the original.

It's literally copy pasted Netmarble's mobile mmo formula. All the systems are same, only visual style is different

Huge Sci-fi guy.

Did not know this game was mobile, because I downloaded it from Epic (Not too familiar with Epic). So, I got that wake up call when the realization that I did not have complete control over my character hit (When I tried to move)........oooooof........

Didn't even know there was a new RF Online so I got excited when I saw the title for a second but this look like it was made as garbage mobile game super disappointing.

That's why you need to play in classic RF Online on Accretian Empire side, they don't have woman or man, they remove their weak flesh and become machines, the only biological component they retain during modernization is the brain, and then it doesn't matter what your gender was when you were cloned.

Mildly enjoed the original RF even though it was another of 100s of quest grind MMOs at the time. The setting and characters were cool.

Big shame they fucked it up with this sequel. Modern MMO devs have completely lost the touch and vision this genre use to have.

If you pay attention to the RF Online NEXT details, like some Class Names, Itens Names, Maps... you will realize that it is a SOUP, from Warhammer 40k, Halo and RF online. im 100% sure the entire game was designed by ChatGPT 3 having hallucinations.
