Recently my real life friends has invited me to play Rohan Online. At first I was thinking that Rohan Online may be just another same Perfect World kind of 3D mmorpg, the kind that I dont really like because of 3D wanna be but poor game system mmorpg, I tell them that I dont want to play it if it is like what I think, but my friends keep telling me that it is really different than other those 3D online mmorpg that we saw online. I still not believe, but however I have become curious and want to know if what they told me was true, so I decided to download it and try out, well at least I have nothing better to do after I quit Mabinogi =)

I have to admit that I was wrong... Rohan Online is a very nice mmorpg! This is what I think after I created my character and try it out. Well basically it is true for what my friends have told me, it is really different than other 3D online mmorpg that I played so far, unlike Perfect World or 2Moons, this game really gives you the fun of playing a 3D mmorpg. Let me point out some of the interesting part of Rohan Online:

Graphics - 9/10

Rohan Online graphic is really awesome, all the details and structures are made perfectly beautiful, everything in this game is so smooth and tidy, the colors is really an eye candy that it wont make my eyes pain like those other 3D online mmorpg that I have suffered for their messy 3D rendering. For this it has already attracted me from pulling my legs out of this game, and it has successfully made me want to walk around to see more. All the characters in this game is really charming, expecially their dresswear and facial appearance, everything is just so fine there is nothing that gives you feeling weird or unnatural, and the body motions are so real and well made. The effect of this game is too an extra, skills and spells are fascinating that you wont feel boring for the process of grinding monsters, somemore the monsters are cool and attractive (yes, attractive XD) that you will feel really enjoy for hunting them.

The only cons for the graphic is that they should add fogs or more environment blending like wet/dry land surface, blur when covered by shadow, bright shine effect when casting spells in dark area like cave etc, just their lighting effect is still not enough. I have try to find the setting for these but I find none so I hope at future they will add these special effects in game to make the graphic much more better =)

Sounds - 8/10

The sound system of this game is really nice, most of the music are orchestra fantasy kind that suites perfectly and gives me a feel more deeper into playing this game (I dont know how to describe this kind of music, just like final fantasy series that kind =x) The special effect sound is great too, whenever I cast a spell I can hear my characters chanting voice, and the sound of explotion or thunder is really a wow, if you have a nice speaker system then sure you will enjoy for this. Others like the grass whispering while the wind blows or the birds singing when the weather is nice or the sound of seashore or waterfall, all of this you can hear very clearly when you are there, if im not mistaken I remember I heard the bugs making noise somewhere...

The only this that I dont like is the music not oftenly repeating to play, sometimes it was so long that there is no music at background and I was like grinding monsters in a dead valley =_=...Not that I want non-stop repeating the music until it become annoying but the gap for the music to replay is just too long, like after the music end and 5 minutes later only the music repeat back to play.

Gameplay - 9/10

I can tell you that I like very much for Rohan's gameplay system. First there was a Weaponsmith/Armorsmith system that allow you to combine 2 weapons or armors and make out a new more advancing weapon or armor, and if there is like one of the previous armor have +2 HP recover stat and you combine with another +3 MP recover armor, it will become a +2 HP Recover +3 MP Recover armor, it was great that I no need to throw or sell the gears that Im wearing and I can combine them into making a new higher gear for my higher level.

The skill point distribution in this game is pretty friendly, you wont need headache to do research on wiki for how your character build, since this game every and all skills are needed, you just need to concern which type you want to become. Like example Im playing a healer now, as a healer all the healing skills are necessary to learn, in order to get the very bottom skill I have to learn all of the skill at least level 1 to unlock the next skill available, for that I have all the skills in level 1, but since I want to become a Templar (battle healer) then I need to concentrate more in defend/attack buff skills and max it till level 5. Pretty easy.

Quest are acceptable in this game. It is not nonsense like those mmorpg which asked you to kill 500++ monsters to complete the quest, this one ask you fair enough only to kill certain amount like 20-30 numbers of it, so this game is not that grind for me, at least for now. The only thing I hate for the quest is that because of the small amount of monsters need to kill and I completed it very quickly, but because of too quick, everytime I need to walk back to town for completing it by talking to the npc, too much walk in and walk out of town is too annoying for me =_=...

Jobs/Classes - 9/10

There are so many jobs/classes in this game that you can choose, it is divided by races, which has Human(Knight), Elf(Healer), Half-Elf(Archer), Dekan(Fighter), Dhan(Assassin) and Dark-Elf(Mage), for each have their own strength and weakness. What we need most in playing mmorpg is to have many jobs or classes to choose, so this game should satisfy anyone that want to pick their own favourite class to be, which gives more fun and extending game life to play to discover each and every classes own unique style of fighting.

One point that the jobs/classes system feature in this game are very attractive is their own unique appearance. They have their own style of dresswear and outlook which makes everyone prominent for their class. I personally like this feature very much ^^

Conclusion

Well, the above is not the all of Rohan Online, since Im still only a level13 healer that just started yesterday. I cant say I know everything about this game and everything I said is true, but this is what I get so far for playing this game, and still I want to say is Rohan is BETTER than Perfect World, 2Moons or Cabal. Its just my opinion. It is a nice game if you want to try out. Soon I can join all my friends in Rohan and I was expecting to see more from it, I hope Rohan gives me more excitement and joy. Anything new that I find I will probably update here to share to everyone.
