Rebuttles in red by me.
An impressive list to be sure.
Too bad there is almost zero substance to it at all. Most are positive user ratings which is not surprising considering fans usually give favorable ratings for things they like.
That's akin to walking into a bar and asking people if they like alcohol.

I guess you missed the search box at the top of the site, took me less than 5 seconds:
Ten Ton Hammer's Rohan: Blood Feud Review
Ten Ton Hammer's 2008 Best of F2P Awards
Rohan is a F2p and it is in a TOP 10 with games like Lotro, AoC, Wow, Aion and WAR in front of it.
Rather impressive I would say.
But we already know that some people on these forums just have be negative for the sake of negativity.

Fair enough on the first part. I withheld comment on that since I could not find it and stated as much. Talk about negative comments....
On the second part, I'll take that list with a grain of salt seeing as how WAR is ranked first on that top ten list and is arguably one of the biggest disappointments in MMO's in some time by many.
I stand by my other comments. The OP's claims were of numerous accolades which are unfounded except for the two quoted by you.
If pointing out the flaws in the OP's statement is being negative, so be it.
The OP wasn't given much slack because he spammed up the forums that day in a matter of a couple hours, necroing months old posts and starting new ones saying the same things over and over about Rohan. He hasn't logged in since and was most probably a viral marketer.

I find it hilarious when you dig yourself into a hole you come out with "viral markerter." Lmao thats a first... I play many other games, yes...world of warcraft...eve...etc... I only feel rohan needs some attention a good game and mmorpg moderators havent added a guild to it yet. Its called bias..really...look it up in the dictionary.

What hole did I dig myself into exactly?
You're the one having delusions of grandeur about Rohan. I mean seriously, you linked a site that had 2, yes 2, user reviews that resulted in a skewed 9.3/10 review score and you expect to be taken seriously.....pfft!
Also I wasn't the only one that thought you were a viral marketer because some of the threads you started were deleted for nonsensical spamming.
If MMORPG hasn't added guild for Rohan, maybe it's because there is not enough demand for it. It's called running a viable business, not bias. Why should they waste resources for something that maybe only a handful of people(and in reality you are the only person I have seen complain about it) want when those resources could be used to get a much better return somewhere else?
The only attention you've brought to Rohan at this point in my view is negative. If you're any indication of the community there, I'd definitely pass and I know many others that would as well. We got enough of smack talking punks in WoW. Actually I had enough when I left AC1 Darktide but that might be before your time MMO wise.

I posted what was up there...the only reason rohan was left in a shadow was because they started something called a cash shop. Before that it was a viable community.
Also I wasn't the only one that thought you were a viral marketer because some of the threads you started were deleted for nonsensical spamming.
I only started two threads...starting two threads is not spamming. If mmorpg feels I spammend my opinion than there is seriously something bias here.

Demand are you serious? The only reason there hasn't been a demand here on mmorpg is because rohan has a great forum. I dont think people want to waste there time with a guild forum on mmorpg. While I have nothing personal against mmorpg.com there are worse games on here that have a guild section that rohan outshines.

Actually since I posted my thoughts on Rohan, there have been many new players, with the addition that the servers are at medium capacity.
In any case opening a thread does not use up resources, so before you make an assumption do your homework or know something about php before you start talking nonsense.

LOL @ some of this stuff. I was actually a Rohan player for some time from its launch and move dthere with my guild from another game. It has ALWAYS had a cash shop, it wasnt some new addition that suddenly killed the pre-existing community. Not to mention that the cash shop (at least as it was back then grante dcash players too big of an advantage, as well as allowed players to sell entire characters. As far as the PVP in the game went, while fun at first, eventually become nothing more than a "my guild zerg is bigger than your zerg" competition, not to mention that while the game originally claimed to be PVP focused, you were punished for killing players by becoming a murderer who could drop equipped gear after killing just a few people (and then needing to stay logged in for hours an dhours just sitting ther ein a safe place to get rid of the red name so you could even get into town without getting killed by guards), unless it was in the scheduled township battles every couple of days.
The worst thing of all was the massive, and extremely easy (especially if on a warlock) and boring grind. The game is pretty decent for awhile, but once you get past about level 50-60 (level cap i believe was 99 or 100) the grind starts getting ridiculous. There are known aoe farming spots for grinding xp, and you constantly find yourself spending hours and hours for days at the exact same spot for a certain level range and it just becomes extremely tedious and dull. the only fun part is when someone else decides they want your farming spot and a fight breaks out over it. But of course, while it may start out as a party vs party battle, eventually they have to get their guilds involved, and whichever guild can get 3-4x the amount fo people there faster usually takes over the spot. Sure tehre are some rare cases in which youve got guilds that rely on smaller numbers and better players rather than a zerg, thats when the battles become a real blast, but usually if you get one of those battles going, some other jackass guild will come along and just zerg the both of you.
I have got to agree, this game gets a bad rap on MMORPG.com, but most other sites like it a lot. Isn't it odd that the editor gives it a grade a full 2 points below us community members? I have been playing Rohan for a long time now. Sure there are some faults, but every MMO has them. But this is the best f2p MMO out there right now. Great game, great graphics, better-than-average community.
Is it better than Runes of Magic?
That to me has been the best F2P MMO.

Runes of Magic, IMO, is terrible (sorry, no offense). I deleted when I hit lvl 32. The only thing nice I can say about ROM is that in end game you can be like a CS user (without actually paying), it'll just take you like 6 months or so, instead of the 4 months you'll take as a CS user. I can't believe that publishers aren't ashamed of making games like ROM. Try Rohan, it's by far the best f2p MMO out there right now.
