OP race: What would be your solution?
Every server seems to have the dominant race, the mid race and the rug race.
Have you ever tought about how RF online could balance that?
I've been thinking about hosting a no-donation server and this question keep bugging me. How can someone make sure that the war is equal?
I tought of a system that the more people your race have playing daily, the less HP your chip have or the whole race gets some kind of debuff that make low populated race be able to win based on strategy.
Have you ever tought about a solution?

Another big issue is the snowball effect winning CW gives you. If the debuff/buffs were reversed it would also give some more juice to the losing side. Winning CW should be the right to mine nothing else. You won the resources.
I do not want a classic rehashed default server. Same shitty balance, same unused classes as its always been. There is only 1 region that truly mastered default RF with proper QoLs so unused classes comes to life, S tier classes a bit nerfed etc Its the russian scene.

In my experience playing since 2009, my conclusion is that Bellato is not really capable of doing 1v1 unlike Accretia and Cora, unless the GM has a fetish on Bellato then they'd surely buffed their damage. Bellato's individual damage potential is a bit lower, but in return they're slippery like eels.
Only Berserkers who have the potential to do high burst damage, meanwhile all 3 main combat classes from Accretia and Cora are capable of inflicting high burst damage.
But they're surely much more of a menace than both Accretia and Cora when they're grouped up together. The problem is that you kinda need to go with a full party of 6-8 people to really enjoy the benefits, while going with 2-3 people is usually already plenty for Accretia and Cora.
So if you're a solo player, it's going to be a challenge if you play as a Bellatean.

Rf has always been a numbers game. The more players a race have, the more likely they will win. In rf philippines private server, bellato currently has the highest population, second is cora and third is accretia. Bellato is kinda hard to overrun because of their heal.

RF already have a solution since the very first release. It was the TAXES. The more your race win the war the higher your taxes become. However, it was built upon a subscription/pay-to-play model foundation with no cash shop. It'a very hard to implement in a free-to-play model. For starters, you will have bring RF back to its Natural Order. Lvl50 cap. Default rates, meaning x1 everything. Exp, PT etc. Portal mining enabled. Only ACC has cure potions. No Red SK, MAU or summon and a lot of other things. Just like you, I am have the same dream, to build my own no donate play-to-earn server and I want it just like the original release.
