Getting People to play rohan again

[Mctwattybollox]

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

[Mctwattybollox]

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.

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

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.

cmon its free to play game.

There are still a lot of incoming players though...LIKE ME! hahaha... BTW nice suggestion dude

Believe me, no. Almost 90% of the new incoming players just leave after 1 week playing that game. Are only left those who RMT or some die-hard players trying to be the best but even after spending $1000 they gonna remain nonfactors considering you gotta have to spend 2000-3000$ to reach top players level.

Back in 2012 you had like 100 people (I do include Jin+Ran) who were at that level. Nowadays on Jainus, you have 10 people fully endgame geared, and fully IM'ed. And a lot of people left when they introduced that +50 cap cuz no one wants to level for 3 months straight to reach that. Not only it adds 500 base points (which is broken and stupid) but also no one has the fkn time to level, considering the almost perma pk from guilds. There's like 3 parties - max of people trying to reach +50.

The others are just trolling at Lime and having fun but thats all.

Out of 8 new people I have talked with last week, 5 of them had RMT account with endgame items for a value of 300 to 500$

*waves cane angrily*

back in my day there was so many people you would crash when you venge ppl in popular grind spots.



The only good part about ye-olde rohan was the sheer amount of bodies one could kill with the ****tiest of gear. Now you need a rumir just to kill ppl like godlyke thats crazy.
