I came back expecting rohan like it was before epics and what I got was a hollow game of its former self. Aside from there being nearly no players, the players I do see are bots. When I ran into people while just was questing I would try to say hi and talk to them, but ofc they just ran around in a circle killing mob, heal, kill mob, heal.
With games like eso and guild wars 2 out, people have moved on. They are nothing compared to the fun of rohan bf, but at least they are updated graphics, huge player bases, plenty of things to do other than grind, and overall not as scummy as YNK about cash grabbing. Rohan BF did it right. Sure the leveling was slow, but the community experiences I had back then have lasted with more all these years. Watching esoteric and incursion have their wars, the RPK calling people a POS, getting high enough to vengeance on them. None of that exists anymore. Nobody wants to play a decade old game with the old tab targeting system, 0 end game content other than sitting around binds tone and killing a guard to show how cool you are. It's just not fun anymore. I wish I could go back in time but it's time to accept reality. Rohan is gone and it's not coming back. If you want to play a game that has less than 10k people on not including time zone differences then good luck. I have decided to move to a newer mmo and just let memories be memories. Reading this thread is what I needed to finally cut ties. Idiots like bubble butt who will defend their master even when they just smack them plague the forums, but in reality the game is a huge mess with massive imbalances that won't be solved in the next year at least.
