Every day new games enter the open beta phase. When they do more and more people learn about the game and are able to say what needs to be kept and what needs to be changed. When players start a game in the beta phase they are able to learn everything there needs to know about the game so they are able to help new players when the games makes the move out of beta phase. Rohan Online: Blood Feud has been in it's open beta phase since May 27th. Like most games Rohan takes a while to download and install, but what it has that others don't is a hacking prevention system. It was refreshing to see that when logging into the game.
Rohan has five different servers to choose from, and it even tells you which ones are heavily populated, lightly or moderatly. It also suggests a server for you. Each account can have about four characters on it. Players have siz classes to choose from: human, elf, half elf, dark elf, dhan, and dekan. The race you decide determines the class your character is. Elves are healers, humans are knights, half elves make good archers. Dark elves are the mages in the game, dhan are the assassins and the dekan are dragon fighters. You can customize your character's face and hair. Before ending the character creation you can decide which place you want to start out at either the tutorial city or the city for each race. The tutorial city helps you learn the basics of the game before sending you into the world.
In order to move around in the game you click to move just like in Conquer Online and Magic World Online. You use the arrow keys in order to move the camera around because the view you have is from behind the character. Attacking things is rather easy in this game, sometimes more easier than other mmorpg's. If you don't start out in the tutorial city makes learning the game and moving a little slow. The hot buttons are much like Conquer being that they are one through zero. The loading page gives hints just like it does in World of Warcraft. To improve skills you need to use skill points that you get when you level up. The experience bar surrounds the avatar not a bar like most rpg's, not to mention that you level up a little fast in the beginning.
It can be a little hard to navigate your character sometimes because you are changing the view of the cameras as you move. The graphics do measure up to other mmorpg's some even the ones that you need to pay for, but some of them are still a little sketchy such as the places that supposed to be water, still looks like drawings. In many different role playing games you can make your character do different things: in Rohan you can even pick the song you want to dance to. IT seems as if many rpgs are heading in the way of mounts for your character to ride on. Many allow you to hatch them and then ride them at a certain level. In World of Warcraft you can buy a mount at a certain level. Rohan is no different you can go to the Rohan mall online or in game and buy yourself a mount.
Rohan: Blood Feud is a great game. The only problem I found was that sometimes it was hard to log in and the game froze on me a couple times and I got disconnected a great deal. This could have been because of my own computer not the game itself; so you could have different results when playing the game. But in order to see what the game is truly like and whether or not it would be something you would enjoy, you should check it out yourself.
