GunZ 2 FAQ
Q. When are you planning to start servicing GunZ 2?
A. Unfortunately we can’t inform you the exact servie date, but our goal is to open it in Korea no later than the 2009.
Q. How far has the development been done?
A. A great deal of programming part has progressed. We are not altering GunZ 1 game to create GunZ 2 but totally programming it new from scratch, so it required quite some of the preparation time.
Q. What’s going to happen to GunZ 1 service? Will it stop updating?
A. GunZ 1 will keep on developing. Actually we are doing more frequent updates since 2008. As long as we have GunZ players, GunZ 1 will keep updating.
Q. When did the GunZ 2 development start?
A. It started since October of 2007.
Q. Will GunZ 2 have same Graphic engine as GunZ 1?
A. No, GunZ 2 will use new engine, Realspace 3.0.
Q. Since the Realspace 3.0 engine sounds like upgrade version of Realspace 2.0, which was used for GunZ1, shouldn’t it be similar?
A. No. we are not an commercial engine development company and the name ‘Realspace’ is simply a codename for the graphic core that we use. 3.0 means the third developed engine.
Q. What kind of features does the new engine have?
A. We wanted to for an engine for wide use so it can be used for indoor and outdoor graphics. However, it’s not decided if there will be an outdoor map for GunZ 2. It obviously has improved graphic quality and can handle various types of effects and development support tools. We’ve developed all the solutions internally until 2.0, but in case of 3.0 we’ve chosen method to apply some codes to external library. It’s similar to the system like “PhyX” from NVidia.
※ Realspace 3.0 is also used in our upcoming MMORPG game.
Q. What is the biggest change in Gunz 2 gameplay?
A. GunZ is a game with a in-fighting characteristic as main. Compare to GunZ 1, we are developing GunZ to in a direction which combines out-fighting with in-fighting properly.
Q. Will there be changes on graphic concept or world view?
A. It changes to some extend. In case of graphic, we are setting up the concept art and will follow it. About World view, we are forming an attractive world for playing environment.
Q. What will be the system requirement?
A. We are planning to work towards GunZ 2 also be able to run on low end system setting similar to GunZ 1. However, with higher system setting computer it will show next generation graphics.
Q. When will GunZ 2 be serviced to other regions?
A. Currently we can’t tell you exact dates, but we will do our best to provide great service to world-wide GunZ fans.
Q. Will there be overall general gameplay change?
A. Not exactly. It will be somewhat similar to GunZ 1 but change the problematic system to better system, and improve the good features. The game progress will be similar to GunZ 1. We won’t have sudden genre change nor character proportion change.
Q. How about game approach?
A. GunZ 2 carries moto of more eye-catching with ease compare to GunZ 1. We are aware that GunZ is hard to start in the beginning, so we are doing our best so more users can enjoy.
Q. Will there still be kStyle(slash-shot, butterfly steps, etc.)?
A. Yes there will be. But it will be a bit different in terms of outlook or control. (like clicking so many keys in one second) We respect the new tactical value created from users by kStyle and hope that it will be more advanced and appealing feature of GunZ 2. But we wouldn’t like to keep it same as GunZ 1 – we will keep the tactical value of kStyle and improve it from there with our style.
Q. Can we still use the characters from GunZ 1?
A. No, it’s not possible. There will be many changes to character system, so we won’t be able to call character information from GunZ 1.

I wonder what they mean by improving k-style. Hope it doesn’t change the gameplay in a bad way.
09/28/2008
Wow i can’t believe this is happening XD….
10/06/2008
I am pretty annoyed that they are making k-style easier
10/14/2008

I don’t like the fact that I spent 100s of dollars on ijji and that everyone will switch to Gunz 2 making me also switch and abandon my account >.> like from international to ijji. sigh…
10/20/2008
We are in progress in assosiating with mait due to gunz 2 out. Still in progress
10/25/2008
Hmm should be interesting… I would prefer it to be a bit more violent than gunz the duel, and ragdoll would top it off perfectly
10/28/2008
WHAT? don’t make kstyle easier to do. omg that would disappoint many many MANY KSTYLERS!
10/29/2008
Im not joining it for sure im good with ijji :), but why do you guys want to join anyway when gunz 1 is good enough already.. -.-?
10/30/2008
making k-style easier would probably make it harder for actual k-stylers, im never ever gonna get prems again, not until im an adult, by which time ill have quit the game, hopefully ijji gunz will still maintain same amount of players for another 2-4 years, so i can quit when im 18 and get full use of the fimbul unlimited when it comes again iotd and my ring of gr8 emperor and iron cavalry, cuz i only just got those rings, and havent even got the fimbul yet, all the gunz versions shouldn’t be misrepresent buying their G coins or equivalents, and explain CLEARLY, that if u get G coins or the equivalent, that ur items will eventually be deemed useless due to the fact that their is a gunz 2, and buying prems wud mean that they, in the next few years will be useless
10/30/2008
i just hope they don’t change how k-style works, its stupid if 1 press of a key makes you slash shot etc. NONONO OMG NOOBS K-STYLING! ROFLMAO!&*&*^@*#&@!
11/02/2008
I want to help develop GunZ 2. Possible for me to do that?
11/03/2008
you know i think that most of NAgunz players will stay especially when they are making k style easier most pro’s and people profecient at k style will not wanna go to a new game were there months maybe years of training will be deemed useless.

11/12/2008

11/13/2008
Ok I quit Gunz about 6 months because of the graphics.
Now I will definatly join Gunz 2 but how long I stay depends on the eye candy again.
I WANT TO HAVE A LOW FRAME RATE SO DO YOUR BEST

Alright… Basically, Gunz the Second Duel is the offical name. And K-Style will be a possibilty. Maiet isn’t interially sure about keeping it, but… Gunz 2 will have no style such as, S-Style [Samuri Style] Basically it’s no ranged weapons, but Maiet has made that sword even better then the first Gunz, allowing you to fluently use it even against the strongest weapons. And… Rumors so I’ve been told is they’re adding new weapons such as bows, and turrets. They’re are also adding certain vechiles for use as well. But this is all gathered rumors from Maiet, and Ijji Gunz Players themselves.

remove taunt and mb laught too so there will be less ego in the gunz 2 community. We must not screw up the gunz 2 community like we did to gunz 1
