i guess this topic can be retired.
i stuck with the game til about 2008, i think. eventually became guildmaster of raoners, a fairly major guild dedicated to... yes, raon.
softnyx korea spawned those in america out to a new site / servers (ijji, i think). later ijji closed it back up and you had to transfer your acct back to the world servers. i decided to fade away with the tide.
gunbound was a really good game run by people overcome by greed. problems that existed from the beginning (#1 being the lag-stuckness thing) were never fixed. their idea of progress was pretty much to keep adding paid content and new rules.
my other big issue is that i preferred to play by slice-feel more than drag-formula. i just didn't get the appeal of memorisation and calculation to win even tho i was surrounded by those who did. they were like smack-talking robots to me.
i did eventually make wand... i think either sapphire or ruby.
thanks for the memories, gunbound.
