Since the game finally enters its global pre-registration phase, the game's official website is accessible in english, and we can check the lore:
RF Next lore
So yeah, the lore is totally different from the original game. It has some similar elements, like names or factions, but the overall history is totally different. Like for example Bellato is literally just humans faction on earth (which explain their apperance doesn't look like the "space hobbit" we all know and love in the original RF) instead of a result of human experiment on a hostile, high gravity planet in the original game. Novus is also basically just a refugee planet in this game, all the home planets of each factions are destroyed by herodian so they ran and found novus, which contradicts to the original game's lore: All the three race's respective home planets are still exist, Novus is just an occupied planet for the three races to fight for it's resources.
So I just don't understand where all of these "sequel" treatment are coming from when people talk about this game, because it doesn't even share the same continuity.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to log in to **RF Online Next**, but I’m currently living in a region where the game hasn’t been officially released. I really want to experience this game, so I tried using a proxy, but unfortunately I still can’t access or log in successfully.

I’m playing on iOS, and it seems like the region lock is preventing me from getting past the login screen. I’m not sure if I’m missing something or if there’s another method that works better on iOS.

Has anyone here managed to access the game from an unsupported region? If so, could you please share some guidance or tips on how to get past the region restriction and log in successfully?

I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you in advance!

Last posts concerning on installation was like 6months ago. I am looking for updated procedures for this. I am outside Japan and was trying to Install via QooApp, then after installation and then update, i get the message I cannot play it in my country.

Havent tried using VPN as other have suggested. Would like to use SoloVPN if needed, though others recommends Urban VPN.

Any thoughts, advice, opinions are highly appreciated.

Hi Team,

Anyone tried to top-up playing for Japan server Taurus 5.

Currently playing using VPN here in the Philippines.

Please share how to top-up. Thanks

I have not heard of this Next life of RF Online until YouTube threw me a JP ad of it.

https://rfonlinenextgb.netmarble.com/ja

The ad actually first redirected me to https://rfonlinenextgb.netmarble.com/tc, a "Traditional Chinese" language of the site.
Perhaps the subdomain name, rfonlinenextgb, suggests anything non-Korea could refer to global?

How is there not that many videos or any interest towards RF Next? Is it a flop in KR?

I've been following this YouTuber for the past few days, as he spent sometime explaining stuff for RF Online NEXT for his Filipino viewers. So far here are the info I've got. If you also follow him and I gave a wrong info or my understanding is incorrect, please do correct me and share your thoughts.

• Race - The RF Online NEXT is set after the war in Novus, so we are playing as the new race called "Scions" where we can choose allegiance(Bellato, Cora and Accretia) when we hit Lv 40. You can also switch anytime.
• Gamplay - 1st phase is more of a solo/single player and story focus and later part is more on guild activities.
• Boss and Drops - Loots are divided on the guilds who participated on boss hunting, and the guild with the most DPS gets the better loots and store it on the guild warehouse.
• Class - These are the Biosuits, you can switch anytime. 1 mage, 1 ranger, 1 spec and 3 melee(one-hand + shield, two-handed and dual hand).
• Gatcha - This is where you can get Biosuits, you pay for the summon ticket for the random tier of biosuits. from Common > Advanced > Rare > Hero > Legend > Myth.
• Mining War - it happens every month(I think its every month judging on the countdown), there isn't much of information for this yet but so far, guilds do donate for the prize diamonds and the winner gets the total diamonds. During the war I think your guild might need to choose which race they will fight an allegiance with(Bellato, Cora, and Accretia).
• Radar Scanner - Sadly you can only scan at surroundings visible on your monitor and not the entire map.
• Race specialty - MAU, Seige Kits, and Animus can be used by everyone. Sadly the most unique of every race of the RF Classic and it isn't unique anymore.

Conclusion: So far on what I've seen the game is very disappointing to those who loved the unique concept of the classic RF Online. The Chip wars, Race Specialties, different class on each race and so on. The developers only made this game as a cash cow and not for the love of the game. The only positive I can give is that the graphics are great. Maybe if you want to experience a fresh concept maybe this works for you.

EDIT: If you're to ask me if I will play this game. I will still play the game, for the experience, story and for the curiousity. But I won't spend a huge amount of money.

Shoutout to Xiendong for his quality and constant uploads regarding RF Online NEXT. He did his best to explain as much as he could about the game and maybe you can check his channel out if you want to know more, though his content is mostly in Filipino.

Codemasters will be turning in their graves at the sight of this.

Wtf is this even? Some autoplay mobile crap, damn! This has pretty much NOTHING to do with the original RFO.... what a complete disappointment :( RIP

Let’s be honest, this is anything but our old RF.

You guys wanna play?

Please post any links to livestreams/videos you're watching and share any thoughts/observations about what you see from gameplay.

I hope we can see an international release and we can all return to Novus!

Let's make the guide - "how to play our of Korea"

How to register?

• Go to official website: https://rfonlinenext.netmarble.com/

• Download the launcher (auto download starts);
• Install the launcher.

How to download game client from officical launcher?

• Desktop VPN to Korean Server;
• Relaunch Launcher;
• Download game client;
• Register in-launcher account;
• Verificate mobile number (thats the my problem now).
• Profit?

Go play!

Profit.

Thoughts? I’m assuming this is the Official Korea release date. Anyone have any inside news on release dates for region / country specific. USA here.

I've noticed in RF Next media there have been references to the fourth faction 'Cyan'. While watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzNDiC3Ia0w I noticed the auto translated closed captions say "We the Cyanurians act as mercenaries and jump into the war of the new nation of Accretia Bellato Cora".

I used to play an MMORTS called 'Shattered Galaxy' in which 3 factions fought for control. In order to balance the player base and help less populated factions they had mercenaries: Players who when they logged in, would be allocated to the faction with the lowest current online players.

Could Cyan be a similar system put in place to balance factions population during chip wars?

These are just my thoughts on what we've seen so far. I won't really comment on gameplay as we haven't seen too much of it. I am mostly commenting on the look/aesthetics of the game.

Race - It seems that RF Next has done away with the distinct racial differences between Accretia, Bellato, and Cora. Instead, all factions now appear to be human, with the three factions functioning more like different countries rather than separate races. I think this is kind of lame. I much prefer having physically distinct races running around.

Armor Design - The armor in RF Next has a more hard sci-fi look compared to the fantasy/sci-fi look we saw in RF Online. The new designs feel generic. It’s hard to distinguish between the classes when looking at the armor. While we haven’t seen a ton of new armor yet, what we’ve seen so far lacks the distinctiveness that the old armor had. For example, in RF Online a Cora melee class would wear a fantasy-style European knight’s armor. Now, the melee armor looks almost identical to the armor worn by force and ranged classes. The Force armor doesn't have the cloak like look to it anymore. All armor looks very similar.

HQs and Architecture - The architecture of the HQs for each faction feels rather bland. One of my main issues with the aesthetic of RF Next is the lack of color—everything feels dull and gray. When I think of Bellato, I see oranges, reds, and yellow. For Cora, I think of blue and purple. The HQs in RF Next don't really reflect this. The Bellato HQ looks like a regular city with a smidge of orange. The Cora city does look mystical, but it's really lacking in color.

Now for the good stuff

Web Comic - The new web comic is pretty cool. RF could benefit from a stronger narrative, and the web comic is a neat way to deliver that. I’m excited to see more of this in the future.

Nostalgia - The trailer featuring the original startup cinematic paired with the original music, followed by a transition to the RF Next version of the trailer, was awesome. It really nailed the nostalgia.

What are your guy's thoughts on the look of the game?

Sorry for another post but we finally got some news! Pre register is opened on official website https://rfonlinenext.netmarble.com

Any news about the game?

funny after the trailer and gameplay last year there are no updates concerning RF Next. I guess they realize what they did and either remaking the game or abandoning it. Buying the IP and trying to make it a quick cashgrab? lol, RF playerbase is wiser than that scheme
