| | GUNZ The Duel is a massively multi-player online third-person shooting game (MMOTPS) set in a world where fantasy and magic meet the industrial revolution. Treasure seekers, bounty hunters and rogue explorers use stealth, magic and cunning as they face notorious outlaws and bounty hunters in non-stop adventure across the Empire and the Republic. Featuring a wide range of game modes from intense Deathmatch, Berserker Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Assassination, Duel mode and story-heavy quests and missions, GUNZ The Duel provides players with non-stop action in community-centric environment with deep character customization and progression.

| | MMOFury | | Can you explain the difference between IGunZ and GunZ: The Duel?
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | iGunZ is the beta test stage for GunZ: The Duel. It was an open beta to all users around the world before NHN USA decided to bring it to North American players. With the release of full service at ijji.com came premium items, events, updates, more game modes (Berserker, quest, duel, clan war, etc.), and much more.
|
| | | | |
| | MMOFury | | GunZ is growing at an amazing pace, this of course gives NHN the ability to hear more feedback from players, what has been the overall feedback from the community?
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | The overall feedback has been excellent. Our players are very happy and excited to be playing GunZ: The Duel at ijji.com. We have been receiving a large amount of complements on how we allow the community to participate in fun and creative events. We hold numerous events for our beloved players and give them a chance to enhance their gaming experience. In some of the past contests we’ve held, they get a chance to show off their artistic side while adding content to the game. Players design specific in-game items and we let the users vote in a poll on what should be created. Up to this point, we have had two armor sets, a weapon, and a new map successfully developed into the game from our players. Also, we like to keep the game competitive by holding seasonal Clan Tournaments. And all of our tournaments, events, and contests are full of fun and there are always cool prizes to be won. It has truly been a great experience for everyone.

| | MMOFury | | Currently Clans are set up with 2 ranks (Leader and Member) are there any plans to add more ranks like Co-leader, Senior and Junior Members, etc.?
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | Currently, GunZ has three ranks within the clan. There are Clan Masters, Clan Administrators, and Clan Members. At the moment, there are no plans to add additional ranks, but we could very well in the future.

| | MMOFury | | GunZ is not considered a gory game with its combat effects, is this ever going to change? Are there plans to add effects like blood, etc. to the game?
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | Though GunZ is full of fast action shooting sequences, it is not the type of game with blood or gory special effects. I think those types of gory blood combat effects are fit more into a military style FPS game, not GunZ.
|
| | | | |
| | MMOFury | | Training rooms can be brutal at times, any chance that we could see training rooms being added that offer ways of just focusing on technique? Things like unlimited ammo and HP reduction but without death could be a nice addition.
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | We like the way the training rooms are now! In the training rooms, players can practice moves on each other without losing or gaining any experience. So even if they die, players can re-spawn and continue to practice.
|
| | | | |
| | MMOFury | | The quests in GunZ can be really intense as they mainly focus on Boss kills. What was the primary goal behind implimenting this style of quest over traditional storyline style quests?
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | GunZ’s development philosophy is to let the player play a light and fun game in a short period of time, so we wanted to keep the same flow in the quest mode. Therefore, we’ve chosen such a game system that the user can defeat many monsters in a short amount of time and can fight with the Boss without unnecessary preparing time.
|
| | | | |
| | MMOFury | | There have been some nice design contests that allow players to create Weapons and Maps, etc. What place will these contests have in the future development of the game?
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | The contests were first planned as one time event but they received a much better reaction than we thought from the player community. So, we are hoping that our new publishers will plan to carry out similar contests on a regular basis. All the great ideas submitted to the contests have become great stimulus to our inspiration.
|
| | | | |
| | MMOFury | | What kind of major updates are being worked on that will be incorporated into the game within the next few months?
|
| | | | |
| | Wook Kim | | The biggest update will be addition of a new quest, where for the first time we’ll introduce God Graded monsters. The first of which is “Palmpow”, a mischief god. When the God appears, it is funny and quite cute – but then surprises players with deadly magic more powerful than any other previous monster.
Also, the “High Haven” map from the winner of the North American GunZ map contest will be updated. Since the Death Match maps take a long time to develop, the map updates have been delayed. But with the development of the “High Haven” map, we are planning to put more effort on new map development.

| | MMOFury | | Is there anything else you would like to add?
|

| | Wook Kim | | Thank you very much for your interest in GunZ! Please keep looking at the notice for the new updates. Thank you.
|
| | | | |
| | MMOFury | | And that we will! Thank you for answering our questions and we will make sure to keep an eye out on the Official Site for Updates.
