For the next few posts I'm going to review different aspects of Lunia, which is MMORPG (massively multiplayer online roleplaying game). But, before I get in to the reviews of the different parts of the game, I'm going to take this blog to give a semi-brief rundown on the game including how it's played and a brief history of the game.
In Lunia, to fight, you go to different stages that have different monster levels, depending on which stage you are on. For example, monsters on stage 1-1 are level one, monsters on 1-2 are level 2, and so on until you get to stage 2-1, where the monsters are then level eleven. After each stage, there is a boss battle and, in order to finish the stage you have to (obviously) defeat the boss. These stages can either be played solo (by yourself) or with a group of four other players. Each episode consists of ten stages except for episode seven, which only has nine stages. In order to level up, you have to accept quests for each stage which also will show you a small "movie" that explains the plot, why you're there, etc. Besides the stages, there are also bonus stages that you can unlock using keys that you get when leveling up and myth stages, which you can only get to after rebirthing at least once and accepting a certain quest once you're level seventy. Rebirthing is pretty much getting to level 70 or higher and then resetting your skills and level so you're back at one, but it also increases your strength and amount of skill points you get and will cause you to get an accumulative level (which, some items can only be equiped when you get an accumulative level of about 120 or more).
Lunia (full name is Lunia: Record of Lunia War) was created by a Korean company called Allm and was originally released to Noth America by 12FootTall but later changed over Ijji. It's English release was in May 9, 2007 as a closed beta and in July 31, 2007 it was released as an open beta. February 18, 2008 it was released in full on 12FootTall and late rereleased on October 7, 2008 on Ijji.
Is this a strictly online game where you have to pay a fee to play each month, similar to WoW? Do you know how many people play? If you want to fight with other people, where do you go to find those other people?
ReplyDeleteIt's free to play, but you can pay for certain items. I'm not sure how many people play for the fact that it's available in different countries. To fight with others you have to go to PvP (player versus player) where there are tons of options on how the fight is. For example, one of the options you can choose turn you and your opponent in to snowmen.
