    Default Rohan OB Date/Time Announced!

    Open Beta will begin on Tuesday, May 27th at 8pm PST.
    http://forum.playrohan.com/forum/vie...hp?f=4&t=10194

    And this one will be slightly different to the generic asia grinder like requiem.

    Handcuff System
    http://forum.playrohan.com/forum/vie...php?f=4&t=9097
    Possible abuseable feature but also might be a solution for a player enforced anti-bot/gold-seller policy.

    Trading Center
    http://forum.playrohan.com/forum/vie...php?f=4&t=9019
    This is possibly unique to all f2p mmorpgs out there. They try to implement some kind of sell/buy platform for items and chars. Might crash the whole economy but its also a new approach (I only think sonys station access platform provide something similar) against bots/gold-sellers and naturally another source of income for YNK. Only time will tell if its good or bad.

    Open key-mapping
    http://forum.playrohan.com/forum/vie...php?f=4&t=8603
    How much games I played and I run out of hotkeys or I have to use F-keys (rappelz) or I have to switch key-banks or mouse or whatever other insane implementions they use. YNC implemented something a lot of player suggested. Actually they implemented the max-version of a lot of suggestions. Im surprised and impressed.

    I expect a lot of bugs. heh.

    --------------------------------------------------------
    20.05.2008 Update
    Can we buy RP [Rohan Points]on OB release? Or just on official launch?
    No. The item mall will open after OB, RP will not be available on 5/27.
    So the trading center won't open till after ob either?
    Correct. It will all be launching together.

    About the hand cuff system
    The way this works is, you can use handcuffs on any character that is not sitting, in combat, or in a safe zone.

    What's the point of it if you can't use it on person that is in combat, ie botting?
    And does that mean that you can use it on anyone that is afk that is not sitting and in a safe zone?

    Handcuff system is just extremely ****ing stupid and is going to get a LOT of innocent AFKers put in jail because of YNK's stupidity..and what if you get the captcha thing wrong on accident? what then?

    Other than that horrible implementation, the game has some other cool stuff added to it.

    Gonna give this a try at least.
    Though I doupt it really breaks away from the generic grinder, it may be better than the ones I'm playing.

    Thanks for the news. I played during CB, but never really committed because I knew that there was going to be a wipe. This game looks pretty interesting to me, even though in the end most games are grindy at one point or the other. What really matters is that you are enjoying yourself when you grind.
    Thinking of something to put here.

    I played a lot of other games and all their anti-bot mechanism sucked or are exploitable too. This one is new to me, maybe its worse maybe not.

    Rohans protection is:
    Automatic (gameguard) - Player (cuff) - GM (investigates)
    Every single one is weak, the combination might work.
    I can disable gameguard in 30 seconds, and it doesnt prevent my mouse or keyboard from being programed. It took me longer to break Xtrap because it was using direct x and Vista allows me to see the xtrap stuff with the SDK , which cost 1.20 US + documents on the process and calls.

    GMs cant do much , I can show you some of the stuff I wrote with Gen 15 MS keyboard macro and how the keyboard was able to response to the AM in SoWn.

    Most of those Gameguard , Xtrap , Nprotect , are for keyloggers on intercafes. Even AcTools provides code to by pass them now.

    On Nprotect you can use a feature in vista to make it run it run in empty space , and it thinks its protecting the game.

    If youre gonna do anything to stop botters / gil sellers , then

    1) make stuff untrable , gold , cash , item , etc , process it through a npc which makes a log and checks for unusual activity, then autoban them , make them go through the appeal process.

    2) Spawn a boss which drops nothing , in high spawn area , that kill 98% of people, non bots will run , bots will go target or be killed. You could even make the boss hit them and kill them , they drop all loot on death from the bot.

    3) Sell levels , characters , items and stuff in the cash shop. Its free to play , its not a good product anyhow , you make big short term sales , and weed out the people who wont buy.

    It's bad idea because, It's f2p game. Why would anyone play a game with less features over p2p games? If you make ppl pay for a average/decent game, players will leave and choose another game. There are tons of other competitive games. Plus game will be flooded with those who payed to be max lvl. This will discourage alot of players to even try this game. Thus making community only filled with hackers, bots, and ppl with money, which reduces population into smaller numbers. I've mentioned Rakion as this example. What's the point of buying lvls if noone to show off to? SOE mentioned this as well; ppl buy high lvl shyt to show off to large audiences. With same uber lvl n eqs, there are non advantages. They might as well play all lv1s in pvp. Will the game last long? Hell, no. A company gotta think of it's reputation and game's prosperity. Lastly, they are already milking pvpers with better pots n scrolls for expensive prices. Just like in war, other countries sell weapons which are consumable. It's not same as selling high end weapons in the game. And why would other countries want countries in war to b wiped out? What happens to your trades with these countries?

    Hmmmm, hand cuffs on buffers and healers in parties means the party dies or disbands.

    Anything can be exploited, so what?

You get a cash shop item , at lvl 10 which enables 30 days of auction house server wide , it list items from the 2 test servers currently.

    You can also npc items , get money , the item is held for 24 hours currently, in which you can buy it or for a 3% tax , sell it on the npc at a "valued price" like a silver sword has a value of 4 , it cant excess a certain amount currently 12% of the npc value.

    There is a npc in next to the mail system which you can buy levels , with points , exchange characters (cost 45 points) , exchange items (for points) and other things that I cant read.

    You can also "drop off" a character npc , who will give the character 8% xp per hour , for 100 points.

    Its based on ZT Online , 1 to 40 is quick , even grinding , everything cost points though , even the blacksmith cost 1 point per refinement. I m trying to figure a way to buy into it. I found it through site on MMosite , and followed the links.

    --------------
    Fenrir787 , why is it a bad idea? 99% of Rohan and f2p will be freeloading locust , who strive on being number one. Why allow the locust to move freeily , and not pay. If you put in systems like SOE exchange or Live Gamer , you ll draw more money and more players.

    SOE in 2006 ~ 2007 said the number of players who used the exchange exceeded those that bought the adventure packs and expansions. That is bankable money.

    Its a cash shop depended game , nothing can upset the balance. Plus you get an instant cash cow. 1) Pvpers love to gank and be uber ~ milk them and milk the kids / adults with too much money 2) pvp is a never ending cycle of pay back , death , and power struggle ~ milk it , much like we do when 2 countries are fighting , sell arms to both side and hope they wipe themselves out.
    I ran into an article in a magazine some weeks ago, where they interviewed a CEO of a firm providing services for online games like WoW. So if you want, you could pay for a raidspot. Lets say you want to see all the raidbosses of burning crusade, so you fork out a certain amount of cash, got your spot and some days later the guild runs you through all instances.
    Or you could buy to get epic item drops, or pay to get some high-level babysitting you.
    Well, thats definitly not my vision of PLAYING a game.
