Codemasters has announced the addition of another new server for RF Online, the "100% free" MMORPG.
Thursday, 8th November (2pm GMT) - Codemasters Online are thrilled to announce the opening of another new world for their hugely popular 100% free MMORPG RF Online. The new world known as "Solus" will open its gates as a surge of new players join the RF Online service.
Since the switch to free to play two weeks ago, RF Online has achieved unprecedented levels of success as players come from far and wide to declare their allegiance and battle it out for control of Novus.
"To open our 2nd new world in the space of two weeks is a tremendous success and testament to the ever increasing player base and their loyalty to the game. The current demand for RF Online is far exceeding our own expectations and the active player base continues to increase week upon week." commented Adam McGowan, Global Product Marketing Manager, Codemasters Online."
Following the opening of "Solus", Codemasters Online are now preparing for the games next free update due to launch in the coming months currently named "Planet Wars". This completely free expansion will see players take to the skies in fast paced action space combat as they pilot their ships through space and venture to all new planets and systems.
RF Online, the completely free MMORPG is an epic mix of traditional fantasy and futuristic Sci-Fi set in the deep space galaxy of Novus where three races compete in an ultimate struggle for power and resource.

I am happy for the developers that this game is doing well. I will caution them, the free to play playerbase tends to have a very short span in game, hence I think the initial numbers could be just a temporary increase.
Agreed, once all the newbs get higher level and get into PVP, and realise that PVP is a game of who has more potions and who can spam them faster, they will run!
Or they will realize that the game is build around group PVP and not 1 vs 1 PVP .
Another MMOG than WoW opening new realms? Excellent! More, please! Growth on different bases is always great. :)
