We are very pleased to announce that we have now entered Phase 1 of our RF Online Beta Test
We have to emphasize that this phase is extremely limited to a select number of core early community members and those selected based on their beta applications.
We are in the process of mailing out a limited number of Phase 1 beta keys to initial players who will be able to assist us with
our very early testing of the game.
Once you have received those keys please follow the full instructions given within your acceptance email to create your player account and download the RF Online BETA client. You can only use it once so please don‘t share it with anybody.
Now we have entered the first early stages of BETA we strongly envisage that all pre-order customers will be be granted access to the beta within the next 2 / 3 weeks leading up to the launch of the game.
The RF Online Closed Beta itself will be split into three phases:
PHASE 1
The first phase will be a very limited affair so that we can test our integrated billing and game system with core community members including the fansites, core forum members and dedicated RF Online community members.
PHASE 2
Phase 2 testers will have access at this point as we initiate our first "light" stress test on the Player Account System and game. Guilds will be invited to partake in this stage of the testing along with a number of the initial sign ups to the game. Again we need to test some vital areas of the game with these guys. We‘ll also see our lucky competition winners joining the fray at this point.
PHASE 3
Phase 3 will implement final fixes and possibly the next Giga update with its new localisation strings, etc. This will be the phase in which the pre-order customers will get their chance to declare their allegiance and enter the battle for Novus!
