[edit] Game Summary
RedMoon brings players into an original anime-style Science Fantasy world that couples both pre- and post- cataclysmic settings, spanning the past, present and future. Through a rich mix of technology, magic and martial arts, players can find a variety of action and combat. They can form groups and even armies that take game play to new heights of association and cooperation. This enables experienced players to help those less able, and in return gain allegiance and future adventuring partners with potential complementary skills. Although this game has low graphics, it is quite enjoyable and addicting.

[edit] The downfall of the Redmoon Online Global server
In 2003 Redmoon, under the management of Khabal Gaming (now Eden II), came under close scrutiny from the community of the time. A hacker quite well known in the RedMoon community named 'm4rky', managed to gain access to the server database, and successfully obtained 91% of the server's database. Whether this was done out of anger against the GCs and GMs, or for personal reasons, is unknown. Following this came many previously unknown facts such as the misuse of power by the GMs (Game Masters) to gain personal benefits for their own characters. After this the server came back up for a while. He then hacked them again at a later date causing them to take the server down once more. m4rky also hacked the Korean server and obtained the server software for the 4.x version of the game, and released it to the public. Even now people are still creating their own private servers, the most notable being Redmoon Classic Redmoon Classic
The official server was subsequently shut down under the pretense of maintenance. However, it was never to be brought back online again. JCE (Joy City Entertainment) pulled the plug on Redmoon International as a result of all this controversy. Redmoon Korea, however, remains a popular game to this day. Although, many people today try to revive the game for its good clean fun, but have failed to do so because of their experiences with hacking.
