RF Online - Status Interview @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault catches up with Chris Dye, the Community Manager for RF Online.

Jonric: In terms of the gameplay, is there much content for users who prefer to solo? How about for those who enjoy questing, or crafting?

Chris Dye: RFO doesn't hide the fact that it is a hardcore PvP and RvRvR game; it makes a point at being aimed towards group and guild activity. Whilst you could easily enough play on your own, you really would be missing out on the very heart of the game - the core reason and biggest fun-giver for playing RFO - which is the regular race battles every eight hours. There are PvE elements and quests, but these are really just a means to get characters to a level where they can begin to participate in the PvP / GvG / RvRvR elements of the game.

Crafters exist in RF Online, and play a strong support role with abilities not only to craft weapons, armor and ammunition in the field, but also special ones, from resurrecting fallen allies to getting certain unique ammunition... depending on which race is picked.
