hello,

I just happend to know the game "Lunia"

Well.. it seems fun, but not sure to download the client 'coz of my download speed.

Before i make decision, i'm asking you guys what this game is like.

Unless they've done something about the lag, it sucks. It's too bad since this game had the potential to be like Gauntlet only online.

can you tell me your type of your internet connection and location you access the game?

i heard that the sever is located in the US and i though there would less problem in lag..

I'm in the US and have a broadband connection. I had usually stop routing through proxies when I play games so there was definitely as clear a connection as possible between me and their server.

Latency is the main reason that we don't see to many online fighting games for the PC. Problem with Lunia is that it's basically an online fighting game complete with combos.

lol they Lunia PR campaign has hit the forums, look at all the guys looking to get someone to recommend them.

You should be able to play Lunia with a slow connection, just like you can play Guild Wars with a slow connection.  It makes use of Instancing for its dungeons and scenarios.  You can also only have like 4 people on a scenario at a time.  Also if you remember playing Counter Strike and Subspace early on, you could only play it on Dial Up and it worked fine.  Thats about the bandwidth you will need to play Lunia.

I personally find Lunia refreshing from the usual click, attack, hit 1-9 buttons for spells, basically the standard mmorpg style of play.

the combo system and the "arcade style" play style is pretty unique i think. i even wrote an essay on it for my Paper about games and play styles. it's not common to see an mmorpg that uses this play style ya?

aside from the usual bugs that a new game has, i think it's a pretty cool game. refreshing actually.
 kinda tired of the usual grind the other mmorpgs give.

my main character is a level 20 knight (for the moment)

Character Name : Keokepa

Server : Foriel (Asia)

Have a question for those  who said they love to play Lunia.

You don't have lag or disconnection problme seriously like other ppl who thumb down for its network problem??

Also, i watched Forum in Lunia hompage, and saw many questions from users, but no answers from GMs.

Do they have GMs to take care of players' complaints or problems?

not really

i experience a little lag now and then

but nothing serious.

i don't even experience any of the problems the other users have like missing items/extreme lag/can't connect to server if using vista, etc

so far... the Gms have solved some of the bugs with the latest patch and most of the problems like the game not working well with vista have solutions posted in the forums. if you have read the forums properly instead of just glancing at the threads, this would be obvious.

in anycase you can't expect a perfectly working game right from the start for a game that is still in beta yeah?

I play Lunia since middle of may 2007~~~ and I must say it makes really fun!

I found realy fast new friends with wich I play nearly everyday.

Then on The GameConvention i won the 1# place and now I go to Korea for Lunia <3 So Yes IT MAKES FUN xD

and finnaly the CashShop was opened ^_______^ I waited so long for the CashShop >.< and (YAY) I got the fish for my dainn xDDDD

I even stared a german FanSite for Lunia <3 (www.records-of-lunia.de)

A small problem is that many europeans (a speacialy from germany as I know) have connection problems to Lunia so Lags a caused x-x maybe a Server IN EUROPE would solve that problem q.q

PS: sry 4 my bad english ><

I will be completely honest.

(expecting a negative comment right...?)

this game... is very. very fun.

Lunia is quite an entertaining game, and i think it's one of the few mmorpgs that make me feel like im ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING.

not necessarily important, or significant, but at least im having FUN.

I think this game is one of the few games that actually make me feel like leveling up is not a chore. Unlike WoW.

now, i think WoW is better than Lunia. But, WoW is... 15 dollars a month. Lunia, being free basically means:

Lunia>>>WoW

The reason this game is fun is because you basically play the entire game with keyboard. NO brainless point and click, and the occassional tap of the numbers 1-9 to chug potions. This game actually makes you more involved, and it has a great combo system if you can spaz on the keyboard fast enough. Swordsman can do a a s s spacebar spacebar for a combo thats about 10 hits long, or they can do s >> < > a a a s >> < > a a a s and then a special kicking skill, and then a ground attack. thats about j20 hits long.

You actually run around the field, and feel like you're playing a game. NOT working at a part time job, like most mmorpgs, that after a while, make leveling seem ... AS...SLOW...AS...HELL.

It is not very fun playing alone, but playing with other people makes the game very enjoyable as well. There are many nice bonuses you can get when playing with other players in a stage, which is increased monster EXP.

In addition, this game has a nice story--- at least it's not crap. The character design and the graphics are very attractive as well.

The only thing that in this game.... is... it's not very popular since nobody knows about it yet, and theres some lag. But since this game focuses on player vs monster, not player vs player, lag really doesnt piss you off much, or get in the way.

By the way, if you are lagging. Check on how to update your firmware on your router. If you're using a router that is. Because if your firmware is out of date, the game will be quite laggy. The problem should be fixed once the firmware is updated.

The similarity of this german speaking like an asian that barely has the grasp of the english language is amazingly close.
