An interview with GunZ: The Duel engineer Yeong-Hwan Gim

[Akimbo]

1. Why didn't MAIET deal with the hackers during ijji
2. What were the internal issues within the company that caused gunz to fail.
3. Why didn't MAIET cooperate with Aeria at all? (Aeria claimed that MAIET didn't even respond to them, and they aren't allowed to make any changes to the code so they couldn't fix bugs like deleting a clan)
4. There are several private servers out there that cater towards English speaking populations. Would there ever be an official english server of gunz?
5. Why was the reason why aeria gunz closed?
6. Does MAIET still make money off gunz?

1. MAIET wasn't the host, the sold the hosting rights to ijji so it was up to ijji to get more after the hackers and ask for a better anti cheat > cost more money
2. I know that MAIET mainly worked with a lot of interns, so it was sort of a massive college project in a way? Could be wrong
3. Same story with ijji I guess, only hosting rights
4. Pretty sure igunz was the official one back in the days
5. MAIET had nothing to do with the closing of Aeria, pretty sure Aeria (aka the host) just ****ed it up themselves as a shitty copy of ijji
6. No, MAIET closed their doors last year. 99% sure they sold the full rights of GunZ & GunZ

It's like you did not even do some research or some shit.

Simple research and knowledge if you ever wanted to dig into the GunZ scene outside of playing.
Yeong-Hwan Gim may or may not be the brother of my step-mother (she is Korean).
