A lot of the same conventions from other MMORPGs but with a sci-fi twist blended in for variety.

For people looking for a new, revolutionary and highly innovative MMORPG, this isn't the game you're looking for. However, people looking for an MMORPG with a decent amount of good grahics, varied weapons, equipment and character classes this game's got it. The 3-way race conflict set in a futuristic world where strangely enough guns and mechs mix with spells, shields and swords is a quite a new concept but despite that new concept the standard conventions found in most MMORPGs are present. For example, quests can be found but are very simple even optional. Inventory, buying & selling, loooting, trading, auctioning and chatting is all here. Another thing that is also here is the level-grinding which really grinds so much at around lvl 30 and to some that may really be the one thing that ruins the experience. For the patient ones though, going through the grinding until the highest level of 50, you will be rewarded with really cool and strong equips and skills for obvious reasons.

The one thing that stands out the most here is the in-game dynamic of the 3 races fighting one another during the regularly scheduled Chip War and even outside this event. Winning the said Chip War grants you mining rights to the Core of the Crag Mine where the Chip War is held. Mining at the core is a lot faster and the ore that you mine can be refined to get upgrading materials for weapons and equips.

To sum it up, the setting of RF Online is quite new, but the way the game was done is nothing we haven't seen before. For a sci-fi MMORPG experience that doesn't deviate from the way MMORPGs are typically done, this is a game worth trying for a while.
