Getting People to play rohan again

[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.

Yeah but the same company running things.............

Lets face it - they screwed up when they released Epic weapons. Instead of making things right they came up with a win an epic lottery. Then came upgrades. They sold x2 parts and waited months after that to sell the remaining two parts. After that any new players had no (legal under EULA) options to obtain an upgrade, other than to spend 99,000 rps, as they stopped selling them and stated they wouldn't sell them again. After a few years came enhanced boss drops and then another upgrade sale............. and then another upgrade sale.
There are plenty of other things that I've left out.

I don't think that I could trust them not to screw up another game if they put one out.

(The barrier to new players thing hahaha........... I've played some games that require money to be spent - but seriously - You can spend well over $1000 on this game and still be a non-factor - thats just taking the piss - whos gonna play once they find that out?)

i do believe the original rohan (that came out in 2008 until 2010) was really "free to play". Management screwed it out and since GM irene is here, every player says the management got even worse. Prices increased, everything you buy has like 90% chance of being money lost, and playerbase went down again.


In 2012 you had ton of peole, now you're lucky if there's more than 30 people on summon events.

The original 2008 rohan was just as p2w as rohan is now, the difference is people died so fast that your "skillz" could carry you.

Funny you don't realize this until after they ruined the game with epics/upgrades once, and you were one of the ones begging for them to server merge and ruin the game with upgrades a second time.

Oh well...only thing that's going to get the population up at this point is a permanent 90% off sale, but we all know that would never happen.

Its cute how people try to blame me.


I gave playwith the best move with the constraints I was given, ran players didnt wana give up ****, jin players needed a move before they quit and it was too early to open up a new server.


I also didnt approve of upgrade 2.0 especially the fact that it was 4 parts. I wanted to have a 2 part system that promoted farming activity which leads to more gameplay in the long run.
