I have been with ijji for over 3 years now, played/playing Gunz, Gunbound, Lunia and Soldier Front

I think they are a great publisher, they frequently update the games and have monthly events with great prizes. Then fix server lags on time, but hacks and glitch patches tend to take some time. Soldier Front GMs actually play with players, and communicate with them.

My only concern is their official forum, it is managed very poorly.

[Yes it is a double post, it has a good reason]

I have been Ijji with 2 months now, ever since Lunia moved. Though I have played Gunz and Gunbound, I have never played either of them while on Ijji.

In contrast to Lunia's previous publishers, Ijji is a great improvement. They do update Lunia quite often while they frequently keep us up to date with future patches and whatnot.

My only concerns are the official forums, horrible customer service and indecisiveness with details (namely the bamboo glitch).

I've only played Gunbound before so that's my only experience with Ijji. I find it one of the better game publishers out there. I just don't really get why they use game launchers... it's a bit of a hassle for me. But on the other note, I really enjoy the fact that they also mini-games/puzzle games to keep people preoccupied for whatever reason it may be.

Red · 12-15-2008

Oh yes...the game launchers are extremely annoying and time consuming in my opinion...

Events they have are starting to get stupid.
They are starting to have more Gcoin based events that involve purchasing Gcoins.
The more outstanding GMs have moved on to different publishers
game launcher
relative lag
supports/takes advantage of the lag between NorthAmerica and Europe/Malaysia/Australia, causing frustration in games by creating location-based events and making a different server for Europeans(NAGunZ)

positives
giving 20% more gcoin coupons on purchase randomly
having peanutlabs as a source of free gcoin

I wonder if you realize they are an American based company and don't even have to service any other country if they didn't want to.

I have been with ijji since I discovered Gunz and Soldier Front rather early on. Maybe 2 years, now. They've improved is all I can say.

Sodacan · 12-15-2008

I personally don't like them. They use game launchers, most of their events are based on buying gcoins, and they don't even maintain their games. I've only played Lunia and Gunbound under them but both feel like they're in earl closed beta. Lunia is loaded with position lag and invisible obstacles. Gunbound's players mostly botters and hack users, the game is incredibly glitchy, and it's a sad thing when you get glitched with two dual balls and do 4k damage. I might like ijji if they would fix their damn games but that isn't gonna happen.

Crave · 12-15-2008

I've played Gunz and Soldier Front. Gunz is most likely my favorite game from ijji so far and I think they do a great job with making the "Cash Shop" type items non necessities.

I FULLY understand that ijji is North American. -_________-

Solemn · 12-15-2008

I haven't had much experience with Ijji, but from what I have gathered, they are a pretty good company.

Hotaka · 12-15-2008

I've been with ijji on and off for almost two years playing GunZ. From what i've witnessed they're great. They understand how to keep balance and cash items, customer support isn't bad, they release new content, and host some pretty nice events.

LolWut · 12-16-2008

Been with Ijji since 2006, I played Soldier Front and now Lunia. They're servers are a bit laggy for me, but I love their Lunia updates.

4/5

Allea · 12-16-2008

Well...I've been with ijji since the migration of gunbound NA players to ijji, it's alright but unfortunately I get hanstarter path could not be found for soldier front everytime when I have it and Lunia installed together (only way to get fix of it is if I remove Lunia completely which that won't be good)...(my bro plays SF not me).

I have to agree with Rhikiri though about the forums, it's poorly done plus not every error/problem for some games are resolved (but it's like that).

Overall, they're good with updates but I find that there's a significant of leechers (people using hacks from hackers) on GunZ and Gunbound and sometimes they don't communicate often enough...but that was 1-2 years ago. I'm not sure if things are different now. Unfortunately, they do base some items that are cash when it's free on other versions (not lunia though but other games). So I rate it as 3/5.

Ayumi · 12-16-2008

Been there since the day it came out.

Is Ijji perfect? Not at all. However, its definitely one of the best publishers out there. I especially am fond of their keeping servers not so laggy with routine checks.

Azusa · 12-16-2008

Good - Much better than say OGPlanet or NTREEV USA.

Bredgen · 12-16-2008

I've been with them ever since they opened GunZ on ijji (no idea how long that was ago). I played GunZ with them for a while and then quit (ever since, I'd play it on/off) and now I play Lunia.
I like how they update games frequently and that they like to keep what's going on in order. I love how they interact with their customers. I've had just 1 bad experience with their customer service... but that's my fault I think.
One bad thing about them is that they are starting to make things more and more Cash Shop oriented. But they are a company that wants to make money and it's a good business strategy since it seems like no matter what they do, people will keep buying gcoins from them.
Overall, I'd say 4/5.

Ephradil · 12-16-2008

Eh,I used to play Gunbound and DriftCity out of Ijji's games.

Honestly,they have a few good games,but I don't think they could hold someone's attention longer than a few months. Don't get me wrong though,they are a pretty good company. But I think glitches and hacks don't help you wanna play too much. A good example is DriftCity,where most people hack to cut through obstacles and drive like those crazy A.Is...

But anyway,ijji still needs to work a biiiit harder on things.
