RF Online

I made a quick search through the boards, but didn't find any answer to my question (in the title) I'd like to help populate the faction that most need it, and they all look interesting...

Can anybody help ?

accretians is the most populated faction.

Cories were always the least populated.
My estimate (give or take 5%):
Acc ~40%
Bell ~33%
Cora ~27%

That's for Lumen server as I haven't been playing on Novus for a long time. I'm guessing it's about the same for all three servers.

Cheers.

There are 3 servers, I played on lumen. The Accretia are most popular and tend to win most of the chip wars. The Bellato are next and win about 1 in 15 wars. The Cora seem least played and I THINK the last win at Chip War was a joint effort with the Bells against the Accretia. The Accretians also seem better organised and more players turn up for the wars.

It is a very hardcore PvP game so expect to get killed several times a day. The grind from level 30 to 45 sems very bad. There are enemy hunting the areas where you are trying to do quests and level. They are often 10 to 20 levels higher then you and if they attack it is a 1 hit kill. The only thing you lose if pked is some CP, which determines your rank.

I have nearly stopped playing atm waiting for the next patch. There are several exploits / hacks in the game which need to be fixed urgently, but these should not effect you too much until you hit 30. Which should take about 1 week for your first character. There is no in game support and you have to submit a ticket if you hit any problems. We are several patches behind the Korean servers and it seems to take forever to Translate the patches and test them.

There is a online shop and if you can afford it the begineers rings and amulets are useful. You may have to spend some money at 45ish if you want to be competative in PvP.

let me  look at the situation of  the most common faction,then ill play it expediently

I play on Solus and it's the same here. Accretians are the most populated and they win quite a lot of wars. This server is different in that the second most played race are corites judging by the number of players that show up on the wars.

Here are the most current population stats

The most common faction in the game is that you always can find some unexpected things.

Accera are most common and have a high CW win rate largely do to the launcher

Bell are the next most common but have the lowest CW win rate MW's rock at defence but not as useful at offence for CW

Cora are the least common but are better at CW the bell as they are largely summoners and thats their strength

Cora and Bell normally will team up on the Accera CW and share the win or they will lose to the Accera who will normally kill the cora CW faster then the 2 races can normally kill the Accera's. Nukes and teaming up is how the other races win unless they just have the largest cw pop at the time

in pvp

Accera are ok it takes good gear they also got a hp and armor boost

Cora are the best they really only need a spells and a summon and can kill even other around there lv with ease

Bell are the worse they can pvp but it takes more team work the melee and rangers will be at a disadvantage without direct spellcaster support and the MW's will be costly

---------

over all though the game gots pvp imbalances

either you can kill some one or you cant

if you cant they will just sit and auto pot and either kill you, run away, or call for help

if you can the fight is over in secs

The system is almost exclusively ganking because of this

and ganking is not pvp

The most common faction is the new active where you can get something that every player want.
