At least, that was the plan. Earlier today, I found myself wanting adventure away from my busy virtual life in Atlantica Online. So I scanned my desktop for shortcuts to clients of massively multiplayer online games I used to play. Rohan: Blood Feud caught my eye, and my fancy, so I couldn’t stop myself from double-clicking on the icon that would launch the game’s client.
I chose the Silva server of Rohan Philippines because a friend played there. I was supposed to milk him for items. Unfortunately, he wasn’t around. So I did the next best thing: I played the game …read more

A little late, don’t you think? Yes, I realize this bit of news comes late, but to be totally honest, I’m not too keen on posting news about Rohan: Blood Feud in the Philippines—at least, until I get rid of this bitterness I feel as a result of my failure to join closed beta.
Wait! Before you cast that stone, hear me out (or read about it if you can spare a peek). I got discouraged, plain and simple. I didn’t continue playing Rohan: Blood Feud in the Philippines after the first day of closed beta because of sheer frustration with …read more

Yes, you read that right. By the time you finish reading this, the giants will have probably taken over all of the international servers of Rohan: Blood Feud.
No, no, no. You’ve got it all wrong. The giants are not among those mindless mobs you slay on the hillsides. They’re actually a new playable race!
Check out this announcement from Rohan: Blood Feud operator YNK Interactive:
Join us as we welcome Rohan: Blood Feud’s new race, The Giant Warriors. In preparation for their arrival, game servers are now down for updating till March 11, 7 p.m. Pacific Time. Once we reopen, you can …read more

I’ve forgotten how crappy the first days of most online games closed beta testing are. Rohan: Blood Feud’s first day in the Philippines has not been spared. No matter my resolve to continue playing, I find it more and more difficult to level my character. I mean, a choppy latency is bad; not being able to move while watching, usually in morbid fascination, mobs hacking and biting away at your character is definitely worse.
I know, I know. I shouldn’t be harsh, since that’s why online games have a closed beta period—to iron out the kinks and ride out the birth …read more

Yes! I’m finally back in the saddle. My apologies to MMOtaku readers. My frail health is getting the better of me. Health issues aside, I’m gearing up for a great week of online gaming, starting with the closed beta test of Rohan: Blood Feud in the Philippines.
As you’ve probably gleaned from the title, Rohan Online Philippines is set to begin its CBT on February 26, and partly due to the hype generated not only by Level Up! Games, publisher of the game, but also by bloggers who want a piece of the action, more and more players seem to be …read more

Yes! Finally, Level Up! Games, licensed operator of Rohan: Blood Feud in the Philippines, is preparing to open the doors to what is probably the most anticipated massively multiplayer online games in this little tropical country this 2009.
The splash page of the official Rohan Philippines website says it all:

I find this news refreshing as I’m already growing tired of playing on the North American or international server. No, it’s not that YNK Interactive, developer of Rohan: Blood Feud, is doing a bad job at handling the hit online game. It’s just that, as I explained in an entry entitled Playing …read more

You can spot them a mile away—fans of the classic tabletop role-playing game Advanced Dungeons and Dragons may be a rarity in the virtual worlds of MMORPGs, but if you’re one, you’ll know one.
Yes, as I’ve said countless times in the past, I’m a fan both of tabletop RPGs and massively multiplayer online RPGs. Despite spending hours upon hours of rolling dice, taking down notes, and pumping my mind to produce images and play out scenarios, I find the allure of playing tabletop role-playing games nearly irresistible. It’s too bad I don’t get to play anymore, since most of my …read more

Veterans of this online game called Rohan: Blood Feud need not read further. This article is for novices, especially those massively multiplayer online role-playing game fanatics in the Philippines (yes, the little tropical country I call home) who are itching to try the game. Not that I’m discouraging veterans from adding to what I have to say.
The question, “Do you want to be more powerful in Rohan: Blood Feud?”, isn’t about acquiring an artifact that can wipe out dozens or hundreds of mobs and decimate foes in the field of Township Battles. It’s more about using weapons and armor that …read more

One of the best signs that a massively multiplayer online role-playing game is faring well is the constant updates it receives from its developer. There have been many online games in the past that, uhmmm, died prematurely because of the lack of support from its developers.
This is why I am elated to find an email from YNK Interactive in my inbox that announces the changes in Rohan: Blood Feud. The email is set up exactly like a newsletter. It’s also aptly titled—The Rohan: Blood Feud Katar Khronicle.
Here’s what the guys up at YNK Interactive have to say in this year’s …read more

Have party, will grind. That’s the name of the game whenever my former Perfect World Philippines Tiger Server clanmaster winwin and his brother weejay are online on the North American Rohan: Blood Feud server Akhma. The brothers don’t seem to get tired of hacking and slashing (and shooting arrows and spells) at the mobs that spawn in their chosen hunting ground, Shadow Gorge.
Back when I was playing Rohan: Blood Feud on the Marea server, I used to go around the different towns—Einhoren, Vena, Kai’inon, Rev’Decca, Par’Talucca and Montt—and grabbing all the quests available before setting out to eliminate monsters required …read more
