In the future, humanity will become extinct and the diminishing of desperately needed natural resources throughout the galaxy will result in a no-holds-barred bid to control what little remains. One planet in the distant, magic enriched Novus system is discovered to contain such minerals. The three descendents of humankind - the technologically advanced cyborg Accretia, the inventive techno-magic Bellato, and the spiritually guided, magically gifted Cora - have made the journey to this remote planet and are now using every advantage at their disposal to seize the coveted Talic Mines. The power to save an entire race is in your hands.

RF Online, known as Rising Force Online until after the Korean Closed Beta, is a sci-fi/fantasy MMORPG wherein powerful magic (which the game calls “Force”) exists alongside advanced technology. Unlike most MMOs that use statistics like strength, dexterity, mana and hit points, RF Online features a PT (Point) leveling system which represents various skills and masteries from Ammo (crafting) to Summon. Each PT has its own experience bar which raises as a particular skill or mastery is used.

RF Online also features a unique three-way Race vs. Race (RvR) battle concept, with the player choosing to play as one of those races based on their preference towards technology (the Accretia), magic (the Cora) or a combination of the two (the Bellato). The outcome of every RvR battle has world-reaching effects on in-game economy. When not engaged in RvR combat, players can hunt monsters or take on quests for PT experience and equipment drops which may have special bonuses not found in store bought equipment. Unlike many MMOGs, however, there are no "safe hunting zones" in RF Online. Every area is open to attack from opposing races.
