Getting People to play rohan again

[EaglePhoenix]

Some people here talk like they know everything about business.

YNK Korea is responsible for major game changes, skill changes and what not else. Basically, what we are getting is just because Korea felt like it or they finally got to translating their huge pile of paper on their desks.
YNK inc. handled the IM, publicity, global server(s), EM and the general flow of things (events, etc).

Balancing the game happens on both these fronts. Korea lacked behind majorly and never listened to the demands of us global players. The Korean market is a huge difference between the Western side.
The two times they finally heard part of our prayers, was the removal of staff-buffing templars and the change of some scout and giant skills.

Evidently, it also came with the introduction of the Hero skills which both neglected any game balancing as well as neglecting any class builds other than the already mainstream cookie-butter ones.

YNK inc., however, could have put a patch on the sore wound, but instead chose to inflate the already unbalanced game even further by their IM sales and retarded event prizes. They did not learn from their mistake the first time (first Epic sale), the second time (server merge), past that the upgr. sales., thereafter the following server merge, the release of new server (Divinity..Jin..) ... their near last hope and the straw for most others was the release of the Isenserver.

The promises made there and then got quite a lot of players back into the game. The idea of a crone based server with basic IM needs - sounded very good. I, myself, reckon a monthly fee of 10-15 dollars well within reasonable bounds. However, Isen turned out to be a lot worse than all their mistakes combined together. Then again, they missed many opportunities for both new server and server re-rolls (epic sales for one thing..)

Now we have these new class balances. They're not too shabby to be honest, but the IM is still totally messed up and the game is currently filled with OP stuff it is hard for anyone to start anew.


We can all come to the consensus that epic/upgr. will never be rid off..
Actually, the whole idea behind chimera's wasn't too bad. Of course, they should've never been introduced - but to go along with the epics and all that jazz.. Besides, it could have made crafting a lot more interesting. Yet, instead it was handled as the new cash cow and made both OP, expensive and beyond retardation. Up till this day, they still neglect to put an AD spirit on sale (for obvious reasons) and the fact that you have to spend so much on a monthly basis to maintain but one character is beyond ridicule.
My moment I said "this is it" for real (other than couple quits beforehand), was me buying spiritstones with cash and still failing them on equipment. Seriously?

So, OK.
Website looking good: nice.
Class changes: not bad.
Who's playing, though? Those that are, are either on HK afking or flaming each other from their opposing bindstones.

Oh, also, don't get me started on HK's.
If anything they insisted on introducing that crp - it should've been for lvls 101+ where the grind is beyond ridicule anyway. The grind is so slow, the economy went batcrazy. Moneysinks, anyone?
At low level it's near impossible to maintain a character, at higher level you don't know what to spend the money on anymore..


But hey, +1 for class balancing future. Will there be attention for str/int/sepa dekans? I'm kind of fed up with the whole VIT builds.
Would also love to go back to the old days of (near) full int/psy warlocks/wizards.

Now, anyone care to discuss guard and defender? STR defender has always been a viable option, reckon it gets the edge over guardians now, tho?
