RF Online Kills Servers

Codemasters has announced that RF Online, their first MMO title will be shutting down their European and North American servers on November 10th.  Codmasters has made a statement that negotiations between them and CCR, the current holders to the rights of RF Online have failed; and since Codemaster’s contract is due to expire they must shutdown all western servers.

Codemasters has disabled all account subscriptions to the game to prevent users from creating any new accounts. The last full day of game play will be Nov. 9th,  all western servers will be shutdown the next morning.

RF or Rising Force Online was Codemasters first MMO title, and it was one of the first MMORPG’s of that time to achieve success in the Western Market.  As unhappy as fans are to see the game leave our Western shores; the blow is just as bad for Codemasters.  The company was very happy with the results of their first MMO title and are sad to see its run come to an end. Codemastser has posted an official statement on their website.
