Can't believe my eyeballs reading this. http://mmoculture.com/2016/04/rf-online-2-trademark-registered-for-sequel-to-classic-sci-fi-mmorpg/ "Today, it was revealed CCR filed a trademark for “RF 2”, and listing it as a “downloadable software” for various platforms, including virtual reality. There is no word on when CCR is going to make an official announcement." Since CCR is still behind this, and due to their despicable behavior about RF Online, first of its name, I sense a cash grab on the franchise, with no genuine intent to make anything worthy.
Interesting. I spent a lot of time on this game when I was younger and while I loved chip wars, pit bosses, voting, and PvP nature of the game I don't know how a modern version would holdup without some major overhauls. To be fair, the combat systems were right shit and half the reason why you couldn't quit the game was the carrot on the stick of upfront grind and chip war attendance. You invested so much that it was hard to leave behind. Still has a special place in my heart beside Ragnarok Online. Listening to the music is a blast from the past mind you,
Never expected this, but a new RF game could end up being fun, only time will tell. On a side note, I had completely forgotten about "CCR" until I read this thread. lol
Publishing Rights for RF Online 2 for China announced ! http://mmoculture.com/2016/05/rf-online-2-locojoy-claims-to-have-acquired-china-publishing-rights/ "Beijing-based games company Locojoy has secured the publishing rights for RF Online 2 in China. The deal includes the PC Online version, and also the future Xbox One, Steam, and mobile platforms release"
Console RF? I doubt this is an traditional MMO if anything they will use the game world and previous design to build something new.
