What's GunZ?
GunZ: The Duel (Korean: 건즈 온라인), also known simply as GunZ, was an online third-person shooting game, created by South Korean-based MAIET Entertainment and managed on an international gaming portal by ijji games until management shifted to the Aeria Games gaming portal in March 2012.
In the first week of May 2013 (1st on the forums 5th on the homepage), Aeria announced that the game would be cancelled on May 31, and that the forums would be deleted June 31. They would only refund AP purchased during those final 4 weeks. AP purchased in prior months/years used to build characters would not be refunded to players.
This closure happened 2 months following the announcement that GunZ 2 would be released for free in English on Steam.
It was free to play, with a microtransaction business model for purchasing premium in-game items. The game allowed players to perform exaggerated, gravity-defying action moves, including wall running, stunning, tumbling, and blocking bullets with swords, in the style of action movies and anime.
