Luna Online: The Date MMO Dev Journal

The folks over at Luna Online have provided us with this developer journal discussing the game's unique dating system
Now that we’re getting closer to the Public Closed Beta, now’s a good time to go over exactly what Luna Online is all about.
Luna Online is a Free to Play 3D-MMO-Date-RPG. That means that Luna focuses more on the social interaction side of MMOs that just about any other game available today. Essentially it has a dating website built right into the game. You go to a Family manager (NPC), register your character, select your likes and dislikes, and put in a brief introduction about yourself. This opens up the whole game population to you. You can find someone with similar tastes, along with level, quests and even allied guilds.

It's now official.
MMOs have gone to Hell in a handbasket.
You know the only people who will use this game are those unfortunates that could not get a date anywhere else. Game for the hopeless. Anyone thinking they will meet their dream date better think again.
If I want a date, I most certainly will call up a girl not dial into a MMO lol.
I hope they plan to have a definite way to make this available only to 18+ and over ( yeah right ).
Can't wait to see the first headline of "40 year old man arrested wih 11 year old girl he met in a game".
Actually it doesn't sound too bad under one condition. Rather than the community taking the dates SERIOUSLY they just take it as a way to network with the community faster.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
You do realize how many socially retarded forty year old virgin fat bastards livng in their mothers' basements are going to flock to this "game", right?
Can't wait for all the guys that think they found thier "dream girl" to find out she has a penis, I don't see how this will be differewnt than any other MMO. Stuff like this always happenes, just not as in-your-face as this game is making it.
In 1-2 weeks you will see "date farmers" who will make sure to match themselves up 100% , always rate the date as excellent and farm the zone all day for the exclusive gear to sell. At least this company gets points for trying but with the lying and abuse that will go on, this feature looks like nothing but trouble.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear ...
The feds should better keep an eye on this one.

Don't judge a game by its apearance. Its actully a very nice mmo. Ive played a foreign version of it and yes, its a bit different but, not in a bad way. Allot of mmo's have some sort of marriage system, and just because this one finds freinds for you based on interests doesnt make it "A pedafiles dream come true" If you uniterested in the game you dont have to flame it. Its completely unnessasary and immature. Its practicly the same as an eight year old saying he or she doesnt like spinach while in reality he or she has never tried it. Be open to something different instead of your typicall mmo with boobs the size of watermellons and severly oversized swords. I applaud the developers of this game for not being afraid to do something different. Maby you should do the same.
No whats really funny is how all these people are on the band wagon about how this is gonna be epic fail, yea you just wait till it comes out seeing I played this over on runup SG server I know what and how this game is like. I will tell you I really don't care for mmo dateing, but this game is one of the best games i have seen in a long time, also is one of the rare games I am willing to accualy pay for cashshop stuff on too. Also honestly what makes this game differnt that alot of fetures on the net and people net dateing, anything you do you have to take caution in what you do. You all can say what you want about it but I hope to get into closed beta and start playing when open beta is open cause this game whoops the heck outta any other game I have played. So unless you try it how about you all stop being the type of people that kill all mmo games to begin with and accualy wait till you try it for more than 15 seconds or 15 minutes, casue even though I didn't use the dateing system when I played over on SG it still really addicting and fun.
Edit : Oh and just also to say almost every other game has a marrage system so yea same can also be said about the games you all might be playing and loving now so there!
lol...and here comes all the 1-post-wonder virral marketers to defend this joke of a "game".
I'm not affiliated with gpotato or whoever the developers are. Im just speaking the truth.
uh-hu. Suuuuuuure. Just happened to be strolling by, just happened to make an account, just happened to notice this thread....uh-hu.
I'm not joking. Ive had this account for a while. I just haven't used it.
If your going to judge a game that you haven't even played, I would like you to ive me 5 good reasons on why the game will most certainly be an absolute terrible game.
of course you have. I would imagine that most of the mass-account virrals around here create their accounts over a period of time, to avoid arousing suspicion.
I'm sure that, for example, the bot accounts used by Ndoors to artificially inflate their game ratings were created over a period of weeks.
listen, im not affiliated with gpotato or the developers. Im just saying what I've thought of the game so far. Maby you should do the same.
And again, if you are going to judge a game that you havent even played yet, at least explain why the game is going to be terribel.
I'm pretty sure the game could be a great hit, in fact. There should be quite some mass appeal for this. Though most of the cirticism here isn't flaming the game, but voicing reservations about how it could turn out to be a playground for 'unwanted elements'. Apart from the occasional online pr3d4t0r it would also attract a huge crowd of cyb0r boyz 'n galz. Hell, I once got pulled in a house as a hobbit, by an other hobbit, in Lotro, hehe. ( Luckily I could bail out when it got really nasty :P). So I don't think the cartoony graphics would prevent this game from becoming a shining beacon for the digitally aroused.
There is no problem with that, apart from the really disturbed few, but that is why it should be adult only. Not only rated but also credit card only, ... or summin.
p.s. drake1980, you are actually the first one to use the word 'fail' in this thread.
My brand new bloggity blog.
Well lets start first off its funny how post count comes into play, how about you see my join date. Second whydon't i post very simple I am very anti socal, also reason I used fail in the thread is becasue it's funny everyone targets a game for using a so called dateing theme and what not but noone ever really thinks about how other games use the marrage systems. This dateing approce in a game isn't new this is just taking it to a differnt prespective becasue I played ton's of games and have seen really the most nastyest people in them and it not even have a dateing system like this in there, although most games have a marrage system and from what I see alot people that are so called hard core gammers take advantage of this stuff, wanna guess how I know this. Becase I am a guy that mostly in mmo games plays the female gender and I get alot of people that send me tells that make me sick. Really and you all wonder why the girls that game play male charaters alot to advoid perverts. So really to even say this game is gonna attract this negitive attention more than alot of otehr games is aload of BS. As I said before I have played this game in its open beta on another version server and unless you play this game you are all just spouting off hot air. Seriously you have a right to your own opions but not playing it and just accusing and assuming things and posting them without it even out at gpotato yet is very badmouthing the game with no real trail and proofing behind it. In closeing I have a moto " don't bash it unless you really try it first! " meaning playing a game for only 2 minutes is null in testing out a game my test outs take at least a few days to make sure first.
And sobb's is right we both are just players that are waiting to hopefully close beta test this game and well its your opion if you want to try it or not but its you loss then, just gives me more chances at getting into the closed beta. Casue I for one really love this game and if you probly ever play it and love to have class versitility and quite alot of options at yoru disposal you would probly love this game too.
We are just voicing our opinions on the matter. Which we are entitled to. And we don't need to have played the game to have an opinion on it. All we know now is that it is a game built around an ingame dating concept and that it has very cartoony graphics but that is more than enough information to have a discussion about. Once again, I have nothing against games which are obvious cybor magnets, and I do think it could be a lot of fun.
But again, I think it should be adult only which makes the graphic style kinda awkward ... to say the least. I mean having dates in private instances + characters which look like 5 year olds? >_<
I do think some criticism is vallid here.
My brand new bloggity blog.
Ah... the one post wonders live up to their name.
Sorry guys if this is not the DUMBEST MMO every proposed it certainly should be and attempting to defend it just makes you look ridiculous.
So please go back to what you were doing, we all had our laughs at your expense.
This is trouble in the making!
And if I didnt know any better I would bet you a piece of candy outside in my black windowless van, in a box next to the shovel, under the duct tape, that this game will bring in the wrong crowd the instant it goes live! This game looks like it was tailor made for Pedo-Bears everywhere! The graphics is proof of that! -------> http://luna.gpotato.com/teaser/
Gah....they always come back with the "play it before you say it sucks" line.
Know what?? I've been playing MMOs for a long time...a really long time. But even I couldn't possibly play every single one of the asian grinders and match-making games...nor would I want to...because they suck.
And just for the record....I can tell a piece of shit from a distance...I don't need to smell it, taste it, or touch it to know what it is...even if it's painted pink.
Ok OK i have to post my 2 cents here. 1st off yes this dos look like a breeding ground for sick players who plan on picking up 8 year olds. 2nd off this looks like every other Asian Match makeing games with no real plot line. But lets look at the large scale of "female players". not judgeing but my girl loves these cute asian MMO's. i joke and make fun with her saying that its in her blood being of chinnese decent. she pinchs me and we have fun. i play those cute little games becase she is soo cute whatching her play and make those cute little faces she makes when she gets a cute item. i wont lie some of these cute MMO's are very fun. we play some of the "hardcore" games. or at least did till are finacial problums. i look foward too this, so say what you will and make fun. but hey w/e. i love my girl and i will enjoy playing cute MMO's like this with her....even if sometimes they are so cute it makes me wanna put a bullet in my head.

It's nice that you and your girlfriend play together and have fun.
But if we're going to take an honest look at the larger scale of "female players", most of them have testicles.

First I was gonna highlight every expletive you used with a fancy color to show how you take things way too personal, but then I realized that would take way too much of my time. If you can't understand why people have some concerns about the info on this game which has been released here, I surely can't explain you.
"Forums like this are the reasons i avoide mass game forums for the most part"
Yeah, because you take things way to personal and insult people who don't agree with you in a very immature way and by that you probably get banned more often than not. Right?
