2005 MMORPG Luminary Online: Rise of the Goonzu Quietly Launches on Steam

The classic MMORPG from 2005, Luminary: Rise of the Goonzu or Luminary Online, quietly launched on Steam on March 16, 2022. The launch continues the trend of old MMORPGs moving to Steam to widen their playerbase. Despite Luminary's age, the game has run continuously in the West since its launch over 15 years ago and has maintained a pretty loyal albeit small playerbase. The game is being published by Valofe, the same company that publishes most of Nexon's lower population MMOs.

Anyone interested in older MMORPGs should definitely check this one out. Its launch on Steam makes it much more accessible and it's a unique MMORPG that focuses on crafting and trading. Keep in mind though this is an oldie. The UI is dated and can be overwhelming.
