I think 2moons is really a re-named Dekaron (www.dekaron.co.kr)
Cannot see any mention of David Perry on their site and based when the game was made then I don't think he had anything to do with the game design. Perhaps Acclaim are going to remake it but I can not see that happening for some reason.
Can anyone confirm / deny this?
Anyways take a look at the site for more information and good luck Acclaim

Hey... This is David Perry.
I've just sent a quote to Dana to be more clear for the NEWS ROOM. (We had only intended to announce the game today and not get into a ton of detail until later.) But I do understand how this would confuse, so I do want to be clear that this is not a normal lazy localization of a foreign game. There's a ton of work going in, starting with writing a new story! The whole thing should feel edgy and cool and M-Rated. The American writer who is working with me is having a blast working on the NPC dialog (right now) as there's no restrictions on him. (We really do have the original guys 100% behind us + my guys.)
So please just consider this as an announcement, you will see more and more in the coming months. We will also be inviting our beta testers to provide design input as many will be students of design. I'm looking forward to their input to help change the way people think about foreign titles.
Basically the Korean team are very talented passionate people, hoping we can find a way for you guys to enjoy their work!
I'm gonna do all I can to make that happen.
In the coming months I will try to post more to my blog so you can see how that process goes.

EDIT: Nevermind. The post before mine, if valid, pretty much makes mine redundant. It'd be nice to see some confirmation on that, though; most developers and official game representatives have titles below their forum names to differentiate them from regular posters.
EDIT2: And now there's an "Acclaim" title under there. I guess that's that, then!
2Moons was originally developed by GameHi for the Korean market, where the game is known as Dekaron. Perry and Acclaim will not only localize text for North American players, but reconfigure quests and the game's underlying story.
"2Moons is a game that focuses on training players to become saviors in a world where any hope for survival was virtually nil," Perry said. "Instead of wading through a lot of heavy back story, the game's narrative is all about the individual's journey as they grow to become a level 100+ warrior. And the arcade style fighting system in the game lets you dive right in and go hand to hand with some of the most impressive enemies in a massively multiplayer game yet."
David Perry:
"I've given the designers and programmers in Korea a list of hundreds of changes. Some of them are extremely difficult; some of them have never been done in an MMO before. I know they're pulling their hair out going, can this be done? But whatever they do do on the list -- all of those things are really going to enhance the game for the western market."
You know I'm from the console side of things. If you look at fighting in MMOs versus fighting in console games, you'll notice there's a big gap there. If we can close that gap a bit, that would be cool.
Looking good, having looked around the rest of the posts was beginning to wonder.
Thanks for the info.
