Playwith Interactive (PlayWithi / PWi) is an American subsidiary of Playwith Korea based in California. Steve is COO of PWi. PWi is a licensee of YNK Korea's R.O.H.A.N. Used to be a wholly owned subsidiary, but now they are a separate entity and host several games produced by a number of publishers.

While PWi can configure the game and make incremental changes to it, they can't fix bugs. For bug fixes they depend on YNK for bug fixes and base code changes. They just don't have the expertise or source-level access to make real game changes.

Like you said pwi in America is a susidiary of those in Korea, but in difference that Koreans have full right to it and only they can fix anything, if Steve is COO of PWi that it means he is a translator and can talk with them to make this game better. Still license for PWi here is one thing, fixing bugs is another, the license is only given prolly to host the games or make contracts with other hosters which may host as well, like PH rohan.

These days Mr. Lee is more interested in removing competition that might lure his players away. So he trolls places like epvpers and other sites looking for new private servers opening and sending out DMCA takedown requests to their hosts.

Private server means one, that his "mother" (main game) sucks so badly that players need to configure the game and make it more and fair balance. But still instead of sending those DMCA of stolen source of the game code they should fix their main game here, so the privates could stop one day.

Very true. If PWi's server were actually good and satisfying to most of its players, people would not feel the need to look elsewhere.
Private servers thrive on dissatisfied players that leave here disgusted. If players were satisfied here, private servers would die off because nobody would want to leave.
It takes a lot more than putting out a 'wiped' server with the same load of overpriced, overpowered goods and unbalanced skill crap.

When players cry that they can't play because the overpowered classes are wiping up the board with them, what does PWi do? Put out more overpowered crap and unbalance things even further.

Players don't like that and if the management here would only take the time to look at what they did in the past, read the forums and look at the player base after those changes they would see what works and what doesn't. Unfortunately the selling of that overpowered crap is what keeps this game alive and as long as that happens, things won't change.

Because they capitalize on ego's player and frustration of having failed their real life.


It's funny to see how 90% of Rohan population either dropped school, either has serious psychiatrics problems. (pointing out at Ithilliar)

Isn't that whole point of an MMORPG though? To give people a release from their ordinary boring lives? PWi knows very well what motivates the average MMORPG player and capitalizes on it. When they go a little to far - some of the less tolerant depart and leave the more tolerant ones that they can exploit.

This is the commercial MMO Free-To-Play business model and it serves those that implement it well.

I'd say the whole point of a game is having fun.

But that's not what Rohan provides. Rates in rohan are just so bad that it proves it's intended to capitalize on player's ego and frustration, instead of giving people a release of their ordinary boring lives. "Repeat it until you success". Almost everyone I met in rohan came playing this game with the goal to be "the best" or joining "the best side" instead of enjoying the game. Most of the players here have serious ego and self-insecurities issues. Sadly there's nothing about being the best or being "pro" in rohan, it's all about numbers and the ability of throwing money in that game. (because at some point you'll have almost everything)




plus/minus the ability to communicate with other players, and the ability to team-up. But that only works if you 1) have numbers with you 2) enough players that are able to throw money in this game. 3) enough lack of self-esteem to wake up at 3am because your client dc'ed and you gotta relog it to level/got rulerfight or some event like PA or TSB.

Lets be real, while Isen came out as player's voice were finally heard after 3 years and multiple threads of warning ending to a desertion of that game, and while I've spent bunch of, I don't feel I'm going to start everything all over again and spend 5.000e more again. If I don't spend, its going to take me months to not even reach the spending players who are spamming exp scrolls/seals to be the first one/be the best or spamming deluxes to get their club +6 after the 20th try.

This game had its fun, Kensen got banned and both shinji ithi and luckyseven got butthurt for years (which provided me a solid laugh), but I won't start that again on Isen, neither on Jin and I won't even talk about ran.

Oh when will the obsession with me stop?


What did you laugh about? The part where you hit 6k while claiming to do 90k regs? The part when you were getting 1 shotted on daily basis? Or the part where you got kicked in Isen from every guild you joined, and now can't log because you're waiting for name change?

Dw bby you're not alone we're all laughing with you.

Uh, I haven't been kicked from HW unless it happened today but I doubt, 2nd I've been kicked because YOU went to cry on ventrilo begging for me to get kicked from Illuminati because you poor girl has been killed at ruler. Awh fk. Then started kos on Hollywood and threatened to continue if they weren't kicking me. Obsessed much ? You started it the 5th mn I joined by mistake that guild. I made a deal with them that I'm pretty sure you don't know of because it's been discussed with their core and only me and them knows it.

Communication skills, Ithilliar. That's also not like I have like 8 alts in almost each guilds and talk with almost each core and not like I can't log 3 GM's guilds...


Which part of that aren't you aware despite your h24 spying on vent/rc/guildchats ? l0l

The part where you hit 6k while claiming to do 90k regs?

Thing you don't know is that I shared for almost 2 months a chimera set with 200 int stones with maha. Been there, done that, destroyed you all at TSB while laughing. Sitting with maha laughing while you all guys get hit for 100k and we're having fun sharing the set in the middle of TSB to change our dmgs so you get confused with it varying by far.

Dw bby you're not alone we're all laughing with you.

Still butthurt...

ANd I doubt I have been kicked from HW but keep dreaming lol.

Spying? That's what you and your duper core does.


For one illuminati doesn't even have vent but ts, and if you were any factor to them you'd knew that, and they had no issues kicking you, tbh had to even spell them out your name. Same for Hollywood.

You're not kos for your "skills", but for your forum **** talk. Gl picking new name, just don't pick Haily again, we been through that already lols
