"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand" - Randy Pausch

I heard some pretty good things when I first started looking up information.  "The best PvP!" etc.

So I downloaded it and played for about a week, got to level 25, then I realized two things.

1.  The quests were bland.  All they would say is "kill this many of this", and this was mainly the quests for the game.  I found this very boring, and in no way what so ever did it make me interested in the game.

2. The game is mainly a grind, especially when you are a lower level.  Sure when you are level 45+, mabye you can enjoy PvP, but if you are lower than that, it is extremely hard to do PvP.  You have to train ALOT to get to that level as well.

So in the end, I found the game repetitive and just a plain grind.  They say the wars are fun, but I'm not going to grind forever just so I can do them.

I got to level 47 and sold my acct.... The wars are not quite 'fun', unless you fork out hundreds of dollars in the cash shop to be even with the other players running around with level 50 gear + upgrades on it. Or just waste your life playing all day. VERRY bad pvp, its based on how well a player accumulates items/money and nothing on level at all. Sad part is m8, even if you got to lvl 45 you wouldn't be anything unless you managed to get a few good deals on weapons/armor. And by the time you did, 45 would be obselete compared to 50/cash shoppers.

I got over amonths enjoyment out of the game. I got to level 38 as a specialist and find it boring to level. It takes way to long. I may play it once every other week for maybe an hour then I move onto other games as the grinding gets very boring.

"See what you gota do is: wrestle a bear, and then answer his riddle."

I played it until 22 when I figured out that I was still lvling and doing quests within viewing distance of where I started. The pvp sounded fun but I would have to get to grind to lvl 45 to even do it. Now don't get me wrong I think that grinds make for a better high lvl community but I'd like a little more to look forward to than just CW after all my hard work. I like pvp but I'd rather play something like GW which has a little more depth and no cash shop. I did like the fantasy/sci-fi theme though and wish that they made more games like it. It entertained me for a while but I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

it's not....I really hated this game. forget what level I got to....but yah...such an annoyance, even with the new content that was suppose to come out soon....I hated the leveling and skill set up....it made it so you would have afk level to do things, or to be any good you would have to do multiple skills, which you had to level up....bah. skill points are a better idea any day.

Totally agree. It was a disappointment. My first shock was the graphics. Sure, they look nice in screenies, but when I played it felt like my character was flat, as well as the world. Nothing felt like it was modeled in 3D...

The combat is also pretty much lagged. The running around and confusing quest system for beginners didn't help at all.

To top it all off, do they even keep the game updated these days? I stopped playing the beginning of the year, but every month I run all my game clients so that they can update. Not once has RF had to download an update!

I thought it was fun. But the time i was playing it my friend was always hogging the computer so i couldn't play. Got to lvl 20 in one night. That was a hectic night. Another friend was being bitchi so we made a new account in a different server. Specialist and wanted to use those big machine. LOOKS HECTIC first but yeah. The quests are the same thingy and Chip war i mostly see those Casts winning. Chip war bad graphics to run my fraps wasnt good but was weak got killed mostly xD
