Hmm, do you know the features of this game? It looks like a good game to try.

R2 is exactly what game,what does it stand for and is there any link to the game that someone can provide?

umm what is R2 it looks good for a sec i thought it was RO2 but nope :P

On the korean/foreign games list nearing the bottom is a link.

Looks cool. I wonder if it's a grinding game :confused:

Yeah I had found the link off the list forgot to say thanks necron.

But the r2 game is so gorgeous.I love the modules.

Sorry about not explaining what "R2" was.

New Korean MMO from NHN & Hangame - R2 - Reign of Revolution - Embraces MMO Capitalism
A new Korean MMO, R2 or "Reign of Revolution", is in beta testing. What is most interesting is that the game embraces "MMO Capitalism" in that game currency can be exchanged for real money.

The game encourages Player vs. Player (PvP) play since all items a character poses are dropped when they are killed. Also, if a player group or guild controls a castle or fort in an area, they can charge taxes on items in the region.

This type of game play hovers in a interesting, or dangerous, juncture between gambling and skill-based play. Combined with a Micro-transaction/ virtual asset economy (the basic economic model was not described in the article), this game could be a sign of the direction of online gaming.

Of course, this model also will spur real cheating.

Nothing like making money to inspire player interest.
Jungle Law and Taxes Apply in ‘R2’

By Cho Jin-seo
Staff Reporter

Members of the Korea Guild lay siege to Furie Castle during the first test service of the “R2” computer game last month. The ruler of a castle is entitled to levy tax on other gamers.
Big Korean game companies are obviously running out of creativity with NHN’s new game ``R2’’ being a case in point.
``R2,’’ or ``Reign of Revolution,’’ is one stereotypical fantasy MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game), those of which are already flooding South Korea.

The first beta service last month revealed that the game has excellent graphics and background music, but other than those, there are no distinctive features. Especially, gamers say that its storyline and game-play are no better than ``Lineage'' - ``R2'' is just flashier.

The game is still in its development stage so there is a chance for improvement prior to its final release. The first test version was unveiled last month to some 3,000 selected users, and the second test is scheduled for June 7.

What distinguishes ``R2'' from other similar games is probably the cold-blooded player killing (PK) system.
Gamers are allowed to fight against each other almost everywhere, except for certain safe zones such as towns. When a character dies, he or she drops all items gathered such as weapons, scrolls or magic potions. Eventually, many gamers become more interested in killing other gamers than in hunting down monsters, making it a dangerous world where the strong prey on the weak.

There is no punishment for killing other players, except that if you become a murderer your name is marked in red. The only way to punish these killers is to off them too, which may risk your own character’s life.

In addition to this morbid PK system, ``R2’’ is also a blunt advocate of MMORPG capitalism.

Like ``Lineage,'' gamers can form a ``guild'' and can engage in group-on-group battles with the main mission being to take possession of castles and smaller campsites, called ``spots.’’

When a guild seizes control of a castle, it is authorized to impose taxes on all items traded in the surrounding region. Given that game money can be easily exchanged for real money in countless item-trading Web sites, running a castle can be a lucrative business.

For this reason, controversy is likely to arise when the game is officially launched within this year. Except for Geomind, the developer of ``Rohan,’’ no online game companies have officially allowed trading of game items and game money with real-world currency. With ``R2,’’ NHN is likely to be the second game developer to encourage such trading.

When taking a look at the game itself, users find that the graphics of ``R2’’ are very similar to ``Zera'' from Nexon. There are three types of characters knights, elves and magicians that look like they just popped out from a fantasy `anime.’

Knights uses swords and other hand-held weapons; elves are experts with bows and rifles, and magicians are, well, magicians.

The background music for the game is what NHN can be most proud of. Twenty musical numbers were composed by Japanese artist Kousuke Yamashita co-composer of the ``Nobunaga's Ambition'' series with Yoko Kanno and performed by Japan’s Kanagawa Philharmonic Orchestra.

NHN spent more than two years developing the game and it is reported that Korea's largest Internet company has spent more than 10 billion won on the ``R2'' project. If the firm does not want to waste that amount of time and money, fundamental changes should be made and some creativity needs to be injected into the game before its final release.

edit: sorry wires crossed
its actually website trading thats been given the go ahead.
which is being done anyway lineage2 example .
cool can't wait to play!
The Pking sounds like a real blast!

Psh count me in Im am so going to play this game.even though its going to be a while for the english version but hey trust worthy indeed.I love the economic system controled by players and the "item drop when defeated by player killer".
this is an very very interesting game.And I do say its its a stylish gameplay then lineage 2 then bring it on because I love gameplay.

I'll be in but the PK system will piss me off no-end.

Good graphics but I'm out... I'm not a PvPer and I hate to drop my stuff when I die.

I just can't.:(
I'm supposed to have fun playing games, and I don't have fun like this.:(

It's not that bad actually.I don't like these types myself but its does draw a line between wits and in game teamwork.Because how I see it when you get pked either you go kill the person who murdered you while fighting a mob or you get a party of maybe one or two and hunt them down then it may become bad or a vice versa.But hey it would be fun to keep things on going o keep the game alive.
I don't wanna be like a HASEO who is scared of pvp.so thats how I see it.

Could also turn out to be an "uber gank fest" or where higher levels just stick in the low level training grounds and PK 'till their hearts content.

well count me in ^^
i love pvp/pk and the possibility to take taxxes for trading is OMG!! we should make an "OnRPG"-Guild ^^ so we cant pk us XD.. and when someone gets ganked we go like : WOOT DIE !!!! (30 vs 1 XD)

^^ lets have fun there

See yeah I like that thinking right there.OnRPG ftw.Man guild could be so pwnage its so even funny.Once it does happen ytou already know you will have the active players feed info back tous and many more become better then turn out the OnRPG guidl is too big so have to make two which brings an alliance.Oh man the more we grow the better we become and the taxes for all the others in the land becomes very hard since we can do what we want since we psn.This is a evil/fun/kille dor be killed type of game which gets me pumped for the rush.And I know that your down to to it and I believe a few others will when they see the value of the game and players diggin' the gamplay and stlye it has.

I'd be happy to start an onRPG guild in R2.

Actually I don't see no problem in you being Guild leader.I find it nice and plus who should be guild leader of then the one who found the game.:D
But I'm ready to be right on the lines ready to take fire.

well since this game is in Korean, it will be difficult to play and trully understand it. Getting pked..losing gear.. etc.. could get alittle annoying and just add to the confusion, and language barrier.

Id say this game would not be for someone who wants to try and solo, there would definetly have to be an english guild made to protect, and teach new comers and such. Otherwise people will play, and just leave out of frustration.

well i think .. at all this game isnt for soloing.. everyone gets killed.. well not only 1 on 1 .. but 30 on 1 xD

and well necreon can be the leader :D .. i hope there are any stealth classes ><" so i can imba ambush them all xD

I believe there isnt a stealth class I was looking on the site and found Knight, Ranger, Elf. There will probably be a few more classes (I assume) by the screenshots but so far its just those 3

then ima go ranger!!! ^^
lets hope the download doesnt goes like 5 kb/s with 2gb to load ><"

i watched abit of the movies, ill be trying this game out for sure and ill be down with a onrpg guild :) this game reminds me of lineage 2 everything seems so similar even the pvp system, but think this is gonna be a hell of a grind game like L2 :(

then ima go ranger!!! ^^
lets hope the download doesnt goes like 5 kb/s with 2gb to load ><"
Yes another ranger along with me.lolz
you already know the power of the range.
Anyways I am so downloading it even if its a big filesize.I mean everyone say its a lineage2 mimic but the style sure is way different especially the activity that will be provided in the game.

This game looks sick, gonna give it a try, I'm bored of english games. When you guys get in post name here :P
