RF Online Explodes Onto A New Plateau With The Latest Free Giga Expansion Now Live

Second Free Western Giga Expansion Brings Brand New Areas And Features

Los Angeles (September 26, 2006) – Codemasters Online Gaming has today released the second major content expansion for RF Online, the epic sci-fi and fantasy MMORPG. The second Giga update is now available, free of charge, across all servers and will take RF Online to Giga 4.2.

Now more action packed than ever, RF Online will automatically patch in the new content giving players access to the previously uncharted player area Elan Plateau where players can pit their wits against all new monsters and quests.

Also part of the update is Circle Zone Scramble, a unique Guild versus Guild combat system that pits guilds battling to the death using an original point system set of sporting rules in a revolutionary new environment.

Expansion Contents:

·      Elan Plateau: Unravel the secrets of a brand new area of the map with all new monsters and challenges.

·      Circle Zone Scramble: Prove yourselves as a top guild and be rewarded with control of your own Settlement bringing with it status and financial rewards.

·     Control the Neutral Zone: Raise your guild’s flag and take control of the neutral zone, economy and all.

·     New Race Leader Voting System: The top players in each race now have the opportunity to run for race leader/Archon; other players vote for whom they want as race leader.

·      Remodelled Cauldron Volcanic Map: The creatures of the Cauldron Volcanic have evolved and grown stronger bringing with them four brand new monsters.

·      Experience and exPerT (PT) rates modified: Experience and PT gains from monster kills increased to aid levelling characters.

·      New Items: News ring and amulets added for each race.

·      Added functionality to Combination System: More weapons and items can now be added together in additional functionality to the crafting system.

"To have Giga 4.2 live on our servers so soon after the previous content update is an amazing achievement," said Ed Blincoe, product marketing manager at Codemasters Online Gaming. "RF Online’s loyal community will be excited about the new areas and features. We’re ecstatic with the changes being made and are confident that this will take RF Online to the next level."

The expansion, Giga 4.2, is the final Giga expansion for RF Online and leads the game into the brand new "Episode 2" expansions due early next year.
