    Hello RF Online.

    We regret to inform you all of the closure of the Rising Force Online service at RedFox Games. The terms of this decision were finalized last week, and the final day of service for RF Online is scheduled for February 21, 2023. We understand that this news is disappointing to many of you, and we ask that everyone refrain from speculating or vilifying any parties involved.

    While our staff does not have all the details regarding this situation, we will try to the best of our ability to provide as much information regarding the status of RF Onlline. As many of you know, CCR, the developers of RF Online, was acquired by Netmarble back in September 2020. This included all the rights to their IPs (Intellectual Properties) and their derivitives. However, since our original contract was written before the aquisition, all our communications regarding RF Online and its service were done directly with our contacts at CCR. We are not privy to the decision making of any other parties involved and do not have any inside knowledge regarding the status of any other RF Online services.

    Over the past two years, several patches were developed and tested on our test servers, ranging from attempts to rollback the 4.25 version to applying a Classic version of RF Online, but ultimately, none were rolled out to our main service. At the time of this writing, there are no plans or option to transfer servers/data for existing players. As a result, our only option at this time is to make the best of an unfortunate situation.

    The currently Reclass event will be extended each week until the closure of our service. This will mean all players will be able to reclass 3 times each week for free and the count will reset after every weekly maintenance. In addition, starting in February, several items in the cash shop will be heavily discounted (~90%). Depending on what functionality we have available, these sales may be limited in quantity, so we ask that players refrain from buying all available items, so other players can have a chance to enjoy these items during this time. Bonus Rates will also be extended until the end of our service, and if players request higher rates, we can apply them during our weekly maintenance.

    Our staff is saddened by this news, since the RF Community is one that we have grown to appreciate, despite the difficulties we have faced. Ultimately, we hope that we can make this last month of the RF Online service as memorable as possible. If you have any requests or suggestions, please send us a support ticket titled "RF Sunset" with your idea, and if it can be applied, we will ask our management team. Thank you for reading this post and we appreciate all the time you have spent with us playing Rising Force Online.

    At least make leveling faster so people could experience Lvl 75 at the very least and be able to use "end game equipment". Also make dragon parts easy to farm so everyone can have it too GM, just a suggestion if ever this is final.

    Man this is awesome news. Netmarble isn't going to sit back and let the north american market just go untapped. So either with RF or RF project, they're going to want to find a publisher to partner with in North America. so maybe now, we'll actually get a well managed game that provides events, updates and communication. Sure as hell cant get worse.

    Because of our system limitations, we are not able to mass distribute items or add/remove items from our npc or cash shop. However, we will see what other resources are available to us to try to make pvp more exciting.

    How high should we make rates for February to help players level up? Unfortunately, we can't increase upgrade chances, but increasing the drop rate should allow for more high end items to be available.

    This good credit to Toxic players like Magekal, Aiova, and their toxic leader Seira who harassed players away with their dirty play. Now your benefactor Jin Hong is crying because he spent so much USD to let the server live long and will still end. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    omg. same feeling i had when kobe died. i will miss playing my favorite game since 2002 or 2004. this is nuts...!!!
    just make sense to end it on a date when it all started. if it's not much of a hassle from your end GMs, kindly give some something for free to use that we can enjoy until its final date. i hope someone will save us from this, so we can enjoy playing the game we all love

    1 monster kill 1 lvl, +7 items in npc, so we can go all PVP, or those who haven't reach 75 get us easily to 75, and those who are at 75 get them to 80.

    Yes please!! The highest rate possible with pitboss spawning time more frequent. PVE and PVP should go hand in hand. Thank you GM

    Since that's not possible make pb spawn timer every 5 mins :D so we can farm them with the increase of rates, maybe let us chose our dragon weapon boxes instead of random? Thx! Just throwing ideas out there.
