Neowiz Games and MAIET Entertainment released a bunch of new information for their upcoming title Project H,which is now known as RaiderZ. Just to let you troll's know it's the same developer team as GunZ, so infringement there. RaiderZ has been in development since January 2006 and they are hoping for Open Beta to hit as early has the first quarter of 2011, in Korea. Which means Closed Beta tests will be around mid this year or late 2010. Check out the detailed full information on the recent press release on RaiderZ Online. Most of this article is quoted from the press release, since their explanation is much more better than my exaggeration.

You're probably probably wondering where and how they came up with the word RaiderZ since it's a bit similar to the name of their other title GunZ. Who need "S" when you got "Z"! Right? Well, there is a lot to read in this PR but it's worth your time.

TWhile the developers wanted to make and add new features to GunZ no matter how hard they tried they always stumbled upon a huge block wall. Quoted from their full reasoning can be found below

Now let's get on to the "meat" of this press release. They have released a couple main features of RaiderZ online that got me very excited to play it. Check it out below

The gameplay is based on what's recently called the "Non-Targeting". This is not to go along with the recent game trend in Korea but as described before we wanted to make a "MMORPG like GunZ". "MMORPG like GunZ" doesn't necessarily mean that the characters should run along the wall or does k-style - Yes, you cannot do that in RaiderZ. It is a gameplay which requires user's skill and control to hit and evade as shown on the screen at the mouse cursor less environment. Our development team had to struggle for quite some time due to the inconvenience and lack of immediacy and the difficulty of development of the "Non-Targeting" feature.

The game play mainly consists of fighting against large monsters called "Epic Monsters". This doesn't mean that there are only large monsters in the game.  Like other MMORPG games, the users can fight against small & regular sized monsters and there are many quests related to those monsters. But as the game systems, the game leads to have battles with large monsters and our goal is to be fun even just with that.

The monsters or quests won't give any equipment or money as reward. Even the shops will have limited types of items and the users will have to find the "Artisan" NPCs to acquire the items. We wanted to make the item collecting fun and convenient, in order to give infinite motivations to play for the game players.

There are NO class system.  But among over 350 skills(for Open Beta version) the users can use points to the skills that the user wish to learn and create a character of their own. Our intention is to break out the restrictions of other traditional MMORPG system and enhance the quality of gameplay experience. For example we want to make it possible to have a magician to use "Fireball" wearing plate armor or a priest who can use "Sneak".

So anyway, you've read about it! Publishers and Foreign gamers around the world are now probably interested in checking this game out, they said they will have their first teaser trailer and website this May. The new website will contain a lot more information than their recent press release so, keep an eye out on it here or their main website!
