Press Release
Magical Fantasy Meets Futuristic Science-Fiction Action in the Latest Chip Wars Update

Inside the world of RF Online, a war has erupted on the planet Novus as three mighty factions engage in vicious battles for control of the prosperous Central Mine buried deep within the planet’s core.

Every day on Novus, three mass-scale battles are fought between the Bellato Union, the Holy Alliance Cora and the Accretia Empire. The victorious faction is granted access and control of the Central Mine Core to extract precious materials, which increases both personal and Faction-wide wealth, until the next war begins.

At the beginning of each war, the three factions have a "Chip" created for them representing a faction’s presence in the war. Should a faction’s Chip be captured, they cannot enter the mine until the next war begins. The Chip war rages until only one faction has their Chip intact and they have captured one of the other faction’s chips - or 3 hours pass with no winner.

As one faction takes control of the mine, they also take control of Holy Stone Keeper who prevents other factions from entering and killing all those who approach!
