I just wanted a gunz experience where K-style still existed (unlike Gunz 2), with the same incredibly high skill ceiling (unlike gunz 2), and to not get buttblasted by cash shop whales upon joining any game in a private server despite being level 100 along with them because they have literally twice my hp and ap.

ThreadDo you guys play GunZ because of K-style specifically or because of the whole game overall?
This game would have died in obscurity if not for Kstyle.

It cannot survive on nostalgia alone as older players will eventually get bored and new players are not going to be interested in a 20+ year old game with a high skill ceiling and no matchmaking where they have to compete against veteran players who will just hard stomp them.
