Netmarble’s latest title, RF Online Next, kicked off its character name pre-registration on August 12. It was a golden opportunity to secure a name on one of the 30 available servers. The first wave of registration wrapped up early at 11:50 AM, clearly demonstrating the palpable hype surrounding RF Online Next. In response, a second wave was launched at 1:00 PM.

The second wave saw such a massive turnout that most servers were snapped up in a heartbeat. As of 5:30 PM on August 12, the remaining open servers are Poame 2 and 3, Dollingen 2 and 3, and Kizaia 2 and 3. Given that Poame and Kizaia are already approaching capacity, it is highly likely they will close soon. Dollingen is currently listed as 'congested' rather than 'full,' offering a bit more breathing room for those who haven’t claimed a name yet.

The character name pre-registration for RF Online Next is set to end on August 19. Names secured during this period can be used from the official launch on August 26 until 1:59 PM on September 23. Do keep in mind that if the reserved name is not claimed by then, the information will be purged at 2:00 PM on September 23. Furthermore, you get exactly one chance to change your server or character name, so choose wisely as there are no second chances once that decision is made.

Pre-registration for the game itself is also ongoing. By signing up through app stores, entering a phone number, or subscribing via Kakao and YouTube, you will be gifted a package worth 149,000 won upon launch. It includes in-game rewards like the Thunder Sound Wolf and Cursed Horned Deer mounts, so don't let this slip through your fingers. Just like the first round, the second wave of name registration could close early. For the latest updates, head over to the official RF Online Next website.
