LuniaZ: Revival- [Stage] H1-10 [Normal] - Newbie Eir Solo
0CBT South America Server -- super old game that is being revived, so I don't believe there's any NDA involved at all (or rather, it'd make absolutely no sense whatsoever if there were one, not to mention KR server already exists and all that)
Mild lag due to my internet connection. Really not liking this since I have to wait all the way to Lv 19 in order to get my core skill for soloing as an Eir, but it is what it is...
Can I recommend this game...? Ehh... there's definitely some good and really cool points for this game, and it's definitely memorable for me; however, given what was shown early on for the server management...? I'm not sure I can actually recommend this in good faith due to how hell-bent some of the management has been already with making it the whole thing fall flat on its face
If they'd actually manage the game well and fairly, not to mention properly, this would actually be a fair recommendation of a game due to how the gameplay mechanics work. It's nothing super unique nowadays, but back when it launched... it was definitely something pretty special
Unfortunately, the game's been plagued with terrible management from hosts, hosts which also managed to over-reach with trying to amass games and ending up shuttering in the end, and straight up neglect from its developers with them more or less reallocating their main team to their new big cool project (Kritika) and leaving basically a skeleton crew for maintaining this game with basically 0 updates. The last bit was why it ended up shuttering in the first place as they were no longer providing content updates
We've had a recent 'cash grab' using this IP as a mobile phone game, so unfortunately... old players are going to be very skeptical when you start having things such as... a cash shop open during CBT where full refunds/transfers of purchased goods don't transfer into the actual launch. Which unfortunately, appears to be what was going on last time I checked with a GM stating that there was only going to be a 30% refund, full wipe, no transfers in the official Discord server for the game. We waited for over a week for this information to get confirmed by the GM. It's an entire mess and a half, with additional issues of the GM claiming that they are professional -- except using extraordinarily unprofessional word choice on top of never apologizing for using some rather extreme sounding word phrasing even after being confronted about how unprofessional it is to use the word "silenc[ing]" someone in the particular context when "mute" or "ban" would be more appropriate (even "censor[ing]" someone would have been ironically better despite how loaded that word is in negative vibes). Needless to say, I don't want to deal with that giant train wreck, so I left the server =-=;;
At most, this will be a casual affair for me. I'm still waiting on a Global or North America release before considering investing, and will almost certainly be on the lookout for whether or not the game is properly managed before considering any investment given Lunia's atrocious history of being poorly managed that resulted in a collapse or two in the past =/
