By now, this much is clear to us: Massively multiplayer online games are here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. Games that let you create a character and go off on adventures in a persistent online world with hundreds, even thousands, of other players, fighting monsters (and sometimes other players), acquiring treasures, and becoming more powerful with experience levels aren't going anywhere, thanks to pioneers like EverQuest and breakout successes like World of Warcraft. Next year, a new player will emerge on the scene that offers a combination of the high-fantasy elements you'd expect from an elf-and-dwarf type of online game as well as futuristic, sci-fi elements. The game is RF Online, and recently, we had a chance to take an updated look at the game.
