As a matter of fact, they do. There are certain servers that are dedicated only to newbies of rank Metal Axe or below.
Gunbound is a relatively entertaining game. It combines two of the most simple ideas in a simple, pretty way. Gunbound has many mobiles to choose from, and playing with any of these mobiles is not unlike playing with a physics engine demo. There is a lot to try (Boomer at 89 degrees is always good for kicks). Different shot weights and different throw patterns create lots to try.
Next, the circumstance that exists in which you try all of these things changes with each game. The wind/gravity feature changes the nature of each shot, and teleports will always keep even sharpshooters and shotgunners on their toes.
Finally, there is a distinct air of competition often seen in Korean online games. The rank system exists, but each person's rank is very prominantly displayed at all times. Also, the top ranks are percentage-based, and hence getting to the top is akin to climbing a growing mountain.
All said, though, getting bored of Gunbound is very possible. I rarely play anymore, but you can find me GB as Aeipher from time to time.

I'm talking about the avatars.. For some strange reason, even inside the avatar-off zone, avatars still work! Its annoying when some guy registers a new account and has a main which then passes some really powerful avatar down and kills everyone who is not on his team...
