If they love Rohan and they don't come here, what are the alternatives? There are some for sure.
And trust me on this - there has never been a shortage of pinoy players in those alternative places.
I know why PlayWith offered the PH players a 'transfer'. They saw a possible boost to their player base that did not require any game rework. Good for them for jumping on a possible opportunity.
But don't assume for a second that they will recreate the OP garbage that destroyed RohanPH here. That won't happen. Right now this game is in the same desperation mode that RohanPH was in before it died. iRohan is the 2nd largest market for the R.O.H.A.N. franchise (largest is KRohan).
You know how when you are hanging off the side of a cliff and the only thing you can grab on to is a few tufts of grass?
iRohan is dangling and there are only a few tufts of grass left to snatch at:
tuft of grass 1: import PH players and hope they stay.
tuft of grass 2: boost existing weapons to compete with OP weapons being provided to PH players
tuft of grass 3: release upgrades in permanent monthly sales
tuft of grass 4: merge Jin and Ran -- because there is not enough players in either to make 2 servers worthwhile maintaining.
tuft of grass 5: Trinity - ace in the hole. Last desperate act. Should bring in players to see what it is all about - particularly in Isen.
Yes, just a few tufts of grass to snatch at madly. Are the strong enough to keep iRohan from plunging into the darkness of oblivion?
Stay tuned and see how this story plays out.
