It’s February 26, 2008 and this is the day RF Online Philippine players have been waiting for. And I just wanted to share something….
A repost from my previous blog:
I can’t remember how and when it all started; what I can remember back then is that Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) became a hit to old and young ones, especially those of my age. It spread like wildfire and is totally getting epidemic. But I wasn’t really interested to that especially when I learned that you have to pay to play. Just think about this, you have to pay both for the game time and internet connection at the same time.. Definitely you are being ripped off. To those who fell for such, how pathetic.
Way back then, I was introduced to iRose Online. It was my very first MMORPG, it’s free and I really really enjoyed it. Although it was a bit more like a childish game because of the graphics, I really enjoyed the community since I’m not only interacting with pinoys online, but other people from different countries as well. I was so pissed off when Rose Online was adapted by Level-up-Games, and certainly they implemented that P2P(pay-to-play) scheme which made me say I’m NEVER going to play any games that have game time rates.
Although I tried playing the first free hours of p2p games like ragnarok, guildwars, and tantra - none of them really suites my taste. I also tried flyff, it’s a good game, but I didn’t find it interesting either.
I tried other online games which are for free and I found myself at the halls of the schools of Ran Online, it’s free for life and it was fun – well at first it was, but I didn’t like the community since it was infested with trashtalkers, kids, or most likely adults who acted like kids. I stopped playing it of course.
Then I came across an internet café and saw a lot of people playing RF Online. Although I wasn’t really interested I tried playing it at home. And I just don’t know why I certainly got hooked and addicted to it. It’s a pretty decent game with a lot of new stuff to the MMORPG world that hasn’t been. It is at least different from most other MMORPGs because the skills are dependent on how much time and usage you put into it and not what your level is. Combining Sci-Fi and Fantasy is excellent and the graphics are really awesome. I love the story, the concept, pvp, chipwars, battle dungeon, the team-play and more updates to come. I love the community, the social interaction, everything! I just can’t get enough of it. Curiosity did kill the cat. It’s Level-Up’s most expensive game at that time, but I didn’t mind. And eating my words isn’t really me at all, but I did.

I actually stopped playing this for more than a year because I’ve been very busy with my life. Well at least by now, I have lots of time to work, to study, to be with myself, my love ones and my friends, and I can still find time to play. I’m back to Novus Sector.
And what has really drawn me to write something today? I was waiting for RF Online’s Crimson Dawn patch. It will be up some time late this evening. I can’t wait. xD
