Getting People to play rohan again

[Firerr]

Dear rohan staff during the last few years you have lost really allot of players
and im sorry to say but 70% of it is due to your greed in events
making your game pay to win with all the events like walter and talisman
the thing is that the events you guys come up with are awesome events
accept the paying over 100$ to get the item players want ruin it for 90%

let me suggest some ways to get people intrested in rohan again...
clean events fair for everyone..

[example]
lets say we make a (Kings Talisman event)

an npc is placed with items you can buy with chrone
King scroll level 0 [5kk] chrone
King stone [2,5kk] chrone

from lvl 1-6 you dont need an extra
every scroll from level +5 to +7 wont be deleted
from level 6 - 7 you need to buy an extra item like ars +6

lvl 1 - +5 all stats
lvl 2 - +10 all stats
lvl 3 - +15 all stats
lvl 4 - +20 all stats
lvl 5 - +25 all stats
lvl 6 - +30 all stats
lvl 7 - +50 all stats

and dont make the succes rate stupid low , make it like 40%
because its real money that i am spending and getting the result in 2/3 times is good enough instead of spending 100$ and having the feeling that im being ripped off

why is this event fair because it leaves it optional to spend money for the final +20 and it dousnt make your oponent overpowered and the player can still get a good item with ingame chrone and feel good

there wil be people wanting the max so its win win
players wil be happy and so wil you with your earnings
make it more acceseble for people in general to have good stuff
instead of making people pay allot and feel ripped off

[Firerr]

and another thing that people love is questing to level up
your basic quests give way to low exp for people to enjoy them
instead of brainless farming with an hk people want to be challenged
base your game a bit more on quests and collecting items for npc's

the only quest ppl do is elemental dungeons and ses quests
it would be wise to give people 15% of level per quests instead of 2%
and make the quest lines a bit more interesting instead of only killing quests
make them visit cities to pick up stuff and kill small bosses with party quests
wich would give 30% if they complete it
the game would become way more interesting that way and people would appreciate the game play allot more then they do now , i think your player base would go up again because its refreshing and new

@Firerr Hey man, sorry for the late reply, been pretty busy with class balancing stuff. I really appreciate you taking the time to put up some ideas for us. I do agree that I would like to see quests be a little more interesting (Better EXP rewards and/or better item rewards) than they are now. I've been toying around with the idea of boosting EXP rates up to Lvl.50, so people can level and get to their main job a bit faster. I need to find more money sinks for players like sunnyangel (who constantly talk about how rich they are) because they certainly aren't using their crones for things like helping other/newer players out. xD
The barrier to entry IS currently high, but the trick is finding a solution that works with the servers we have now. Making another server is definitely not something we're against, but I want to find a solution instead of just doing a fresh start. The people that have invested so much time and energy on Jainus/Isen deserve more than that. You could see some of the salt already from our forums, and that's from years of feeling neglected and ignored. I am here to reverse that situation.
Thanks again everyone for your suggestions and input!

I'm glad you're working on something and if you just think of making easier and more fun to us, then you'll profit too
If you concentrate on profit, you get no profit and angry players I'm telling you cause I went through the same thing.

Quests:
Finally we got some quests with exp, but how do I feel about them?
I feel somebody just wants me to lose too much of my precious time (0,8% for killing 6k mobs = 20 hours of my life)
Are you kidding? Is this a game or slave-master relationship? Or you just want to make me busy like Cinderella's stepmom till you think of what to do with me?
This is what I felt and still feel as a player when I take these quests.
But you're lucky. I hope you'll change something, so be happy to have nice and good ppl here, patient too.

Level up
If I want to lvl up I need approximately 2k hours for 1 lvl. So?

Transcedence event
If I want to get enough transcedence stones, of course I can find a way to take from others, to "abuse" other players or my own lvl 115s, but if I want to play fair with my char, and sit here all day long, I'll need 3 years of active, ever-day playing to get trans weap.

Conclusion?
Ask yourselves what was the purpose? To make us dishonest to each others? To encourage us to misuse/abuse our friends, beg for transcedence fragments or buy them because it's made impossible to get them in some normal, human time span?
Did you want to make us feel nervous? Mad? Surely you did. But were you aware of that?

This game is nice, and some people just play it whatever you do to us. I think it's clear. Obviously we're addicts lol
But maybe it's time for a shift, not only gms, but players too, for all of us to make Rohan game the place where we come to have fun, to feel welcome by all players, even those who kos us

Think of Rohan as a primarily free game where everyone can feel welcome, where quests are challenging, but not distressing, you'll create a nice, a bit wild place where we would like to invest.

Good luck

Yes to this. Just change the LMS rewards to Transcendence Stone Fragment but make this one a none trade-able item so no one will abuse the event. Oftentimes when rewards used to be better a lot of players multi client inside this event.

Very good opinion.

[arthurderohan]

you're wasting your time. GMs already have a pile of 700 if not more suggestions in their list.

First of one of them is doing their monthly upgrade sale as everyone is requesting.
Second of them is lowering their prices on IM since everything increased by 200 to 1k or more rps (causing more ppl to leave)
Third of them is restoring old ran's rates.

[sunnyangel]

this game has too much barrier of entry to get new people to play.

To fix that problem you have to remake the entire game a la rohan 2 or old school rohan and obviously learn from the mistakes that killed this game in the 1st place.

They restarted quite a few servers............. and it appears they didn't learn anything from their mistakes lol. This whole franchise is beyond help, as most people who play it already know

Wrong approach I mean an entire new version of the game that doesnt have 1/2 of the overpowered **** in the system. Its like it never existed.
