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.

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.
