Frequently Asked GunZ Questions
General GunZ Information:
Will I ever have to pay for Gunz: The Duel?
No, the game is free of cost and no monthly fee. That means you can download the game anywhere, install it, create an account, and play for free. No money involved whatsoever. None. Nada. Ziltch.
GunZ Developers make their money from selling premium items, which have a slight competitive advantage, but are primarily purchased for their ascetic value. (They look cool).
When will GunZ: The Duel come out?
No release date has been confirmed for I-GunZ, but we expect it to come out during the 2007 physical year.
Versions for North America, Korea, and Japan have already been released. Their respective names are IJJI-GunZ, K-GunZ, and J-GunZ.

Where can I buy a hat?
Hats will be implemented as money-only items come release.
What are enchants?
They will be equip able items in your weapon slot which will grant you elemental bonuses such as stunning on hit (Lightning) or damage over time (Poison) Like hats, enchantment upgrades will be Money-only items.
What type of game is GunZ?
GunZ: The Duel is a third person shooter with MMORPG aspects. As you get kills, you gain exp. Items are a factor but the game play is generally pretty level. The noticeable differences are between very big differences in level.
Is there in-game support for Clans and Guilds in GunZ?
Yes, but the full implementation of this isn't in. As of now, you can create and manage your clan and arrange clan matches. During these matches, you earn 1.5x extra exp and bounty for each kill.
What types of modes are planned?
The game currently includes the deathmatch, team deathmatch, and clan matches. Questing is not implemented yet but is planned for I-GunZ but is available in ijji-GunZ, K-GunZ, and J-GunZ.
Login and Character Creation:
When I try to login to a certain server, GunZ: Online just hangs after I press Login. What happened?
The server has crashed and you should try a different one.
When trying to login, sometimes I get the "Too Many Users" message and sometimes I'm getting the "Cannot Access Server" message, which one is right?
The server is full. The only solution would be to keep trying or to try a different server.
How do I login? The servers are always full!
A failsafe way to login is to weigh down your Enter key while at the Login screen. This will continuously press Login and hammer the server to enter.
Can I have a space in my character name?
At this time, no. We're not sure about the future, though.
What class is best?
The only difference between classes are the starter weapons. The easiest class for a beginner would be the Travia Gun Fighter.
Is my character info the same on all servers?
Yes. You can log into either server and your information will be the same; however, while logged into one server, you will not be able to play with people on a different server. The way around this is to communicate with the people you want to play with. The easiest way would be to post your gaming schedules on the forums.
Characters and accounts from different versions of GunZ cannot be accessed from more than one version. Each account is localized per the version that you signed up with.
GunZ Commands:
How do I add a friend to my friends list? The command doesn't work!
You have to be in the same channel as your friend to add them to your friends list.
How/Why can't I create a clan?
You can create a clan by using the command or going to the clan section at the bottom right of your screen. You must be in the same channel as four other founding members to create a clan.
Basic GunZ Game Play:
Does my character gain more life and do more damage when he levels up?
Not passively. As your character levels, you meet the requirements for higher damage weapons and clothing, some of which add health and armor points.
Does it matter where my bullets and slashes hit?
After some testing, we've noticed that when your character is hit in the upper chest and head, a smaller percent of damage is directed towards armor, so more damage is done directly to your hit points.
Can I lose experience?
From levels 1-20, you do not lose experience when you are killed by another player. However, you do lose experience if you mistakenly fall in a hole or kill yourself with a weapon. When you hit level 21, you lose experience when you are killed by characters well under level 21.
Is there a difference in experience on different maps?
Yes, Venister has informed us that larger maps yield more experience per kill.
How do I record replays?
Pressing F11 begins and stops replay recording. You can create an infinite number of replays every game, so you're not limited in any way. The average size of a replay is less than a megabyte, so don't be afraid of the number that you record. The only noticeable change will be a slight drop in FPS.
GunZ Troubleshooting:
My name fits in the character creation bar but the game says its too big. Is this a bug?
Nope, taking the space out of your name will solve name creation size issues.
I keep getting a 999 ping and/or get link dead in game frequently. What do I do?
We're not sure on this one yet. Currently it is believed that this is a bug and not a router or ISP issue.
I see spikes coming out of my gloves and armor. What do I do?
Check off "Shader" in your video options.
What can you tell me about Ping? Why is my Ping 0?
Ping is the time it takes information to go from your computer to the other person's computer and back. Unlike games like Counter-Strike, you view pings between you and other players, rather than pings between other players and the server.
