Codemasters Online Gaming is pleased to announce the launch of the official RF Online Magazine, a glossy, 68-page, full-color magazine that will run alongside the game, packed with news, interviews, exclusive fiction, previews of game events, player guides, guild profiles and in-depth features.

Produced by MMM Publishing and available worldwide from www.codemasters.com/eshop or www.rf-onlinegame.com, the magazine will be published quarterly and will run ahead of game updates and enhancements. This will enable the magazine to bring details of all the latest news, previews and exclusives to the RF Online fan base before they're released anywhere else.

RF Online subscribers will also have the chance to advertise their Guild and have it appear in the magazine, etched in print forever. Expand the Guild and increase the chance of taking down rival Factions - the RF Online Magazine will give players the notoriety they desire.

"We're excited to be producing the official RF Online Magazine for Codemasters Online Gaming," said Ian Bond, publishing director at MMM Publishing. "We've been overwhelmed by the amount of fan fiction, guides and Guild adverts that have been submitted so far and we're sure that RF Online's growing fan base will love the magazine."
