Luna Online (Korean: 루나온라인) is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing video game developed by South Korean studio EYA Interactive. After a three-year development phase, starting in 2004, the game was initially launched in South Korea in 2007, but first became successful with its launch in Taiwan in October 2008.[3][4]
The game's North American version, which was published by gPotato, was first announced on July 21, 2008,[5] and received a closed beta that began on April 17, 2009,[6] while an open beta started on May 14, 2009.[7] An expansion pack, titled Luna Plus, that includes additional game areas and levels, as well as cosmetic items, was released on January 20, 2011.[8][9]
Closure & Relaunch
On March 27, 2012, gPotato shut down the servers for the North American versions of Luna Online and Prius Online.[10]
On March 14, 2016, SubaGames launched a Kickstarter campaign to revive the game, ultimately raising C$16,987 to do so.[11] On April 1, 2016, the company relaunched the game via Steam, titling it "Luna Online: Reborn".[12]
