Goonzu is a different kind of MMORPG due the fact that you can simply do so many things aside from grinding. The game has many player run towns and an in game stock market. Players can even collect taxes from other players if that player buys / sells in that player's town. Players can also be elected to town positions, such a mayor, with the game's unique political system. Luminrary's most prominent feature is definitely the game's economy. The economy is entirely player run, as just about everything you buy and sell will go through the game's Auction House, meaning that every item you sell will be sold to a player rather than an NPC and every item you buy will be bougth from a player rather than an NPC. The game does have a few NPCs that you can buy and sell things to, but the NPC doesn't pay more than a low fixed amount for any item, even if its the best item in the game, which forces players to use the game's auction house system. 

The game is very newbie friendly, so anyone can pick up the game and learn the ropes within 30 minutes or so. Leveling doesn't feel like a chore either, as you have plenty of quests to do in each town you visit. The skill system is similar to RYL2, where you have to either buy or find books that level your skills. You can also gain skill by simply fighting, but that method takes an incredibly long time. Luminary has a lot of different dungeons and places to explore, and a fairly small world, so getting around isn't too difficult. The game also offers an item manufacturing system that adds to the player driven economy. You can't buy armor from NPCs, so you'll be forced you to buy them from other players, so item crafters are in high demand. No NPC sells weapons either, so players actually have to go to crafters to get their weapons made, which makes the crafting materials valuable. 

Just about every item that drops in Luminary actually serves a purpose. Unlike every other MMORPG there really aren't any '“widgets' that are meant to be sold to the NPCs. Even common items are worth money to players as they can usually be used for either a quest or crafting. If you haven't tried Luminary yet, you definitely should, it's one of those MMORPGs that will keep you addicted for a long time.
