PvP in RFO By DOME

Category: Default Game: Default Posted on Oct 23, 2006 11:03 pm


PvP in RF Online is focused upon the 3-way race war between the Accretia, Cora, and Bellato (also called RvRvR). Players of the same race are automatically allied with one another and cannot attack one another. Players of opposing races are always considered enemies, no matter if informal truces have been established or not.

RF Online PvP is designed to be team based. This ideal is only reinforced by RF Online's potion/healing system - it is nearly impossible to outdamage an opponent's self healing abilities in a 1v1 skirmish. Because of this, players are heavilly encouraged by the game mechanics to group together and work as a team in RvRvR situations.


PvP Reward System

Upon killing race enemies, players receive "fame" or "contribution" points. Consequently, players lose these points upon dying at the hand of race enemies. The amount of fame points gained or lost depends upon the level of the enemy being killed or the enemy doing the killing. Participating in a victorious Mine War (more on this below) also grants players with fame points. Note that fame points will decay if a character does not participate in PvP activities for a long period of time. Fame points can also be exchanged for money.


Killing an enemy that is 5 or more levels lower than yourself ~ Roughly 1-100 fame points

Killing an enemy that is within 5 levels of yourself ~ Roughly 300 fame points

Killing an enemy that is 5 or more levels higher than yourself ~ Roughly 500-1,000 fame points

Participating in a victorious Mine War ~ Roughly 10,000 fame points

As fame points are accumulated, players will climb the fame ladder for their race. The player with the most fame points within each race is known as the "race leader". The race leader has several special priveleges: the ability to broadcast messages to the entire race, the ability to converse with the opposing race leaders, the ability to call a race-wide poll, customized armor, and a special aura to alert others of his/her race standing.

The following four runners-up are sub-leaders of the race. Their special priveleges include: the ability to broadcast messages to the entire race, customized armor, and a special aura similar to that of the race leader. As one can probably imagine, competition over these five slots can be fierce.

A player's rank within their race depends not only upon their own fame points, but upon the fame points of their allies. For example, to reach the next highest rank within your race, you not only need to gain fame points, but you also need to displace your allies by surpassing their fame point total. Players are automatically promoted or demoted depending upon their fame point totals ingame. A list of each race's ranking system is below:
