Mabinogi - Fantasy Life

Mabinogi is a Korean Grindan Gaem (MMORPG) in which there are no character classes and more than one walk of life to choose from. You can explore dungeons and fight monsters to level up, or you can be a cook, or a bard, or a fisherman, or a farmer, or a tailor, or a smith, or any number of other things. What skills you focus on determine your character's stats, and ultimately what you'll spend the majority of your time doing.

Another feature of the game is age: Every two weeks your character gets a year older. With age comes higher stats, more HP, and more stamina but at the same time the opportunity for growth decreases. Hence you can choose to start young (as low as 10 years old) and suffer through the early years of being squishy, or you can choose to start more mature (as high as 17 years old) and have an easier time progressing. The choice is yours.

I've played Mabinogi on the Korean Test Servers off and on for a year and a half or so, and it's one of the more interesting grindan gaems I've played. Each time I play I try to do something different, and actually being able to read the game will make this much, much easier (It's very text-heavy).

Is this up any other GFFers' alley?

Wait, is this english version? I play Korean version. It went P2P for awhile giving those who doesn't want to cough up money an hour of game play time per week.

It was fun when I played it with my friends, but I lost intrest after I got in to Ro2 beta. Before RO2 Beta, Grando Espada Beta. MMORPGs are getting... boring now.

Ew, 33 day count down. This is t3h sux0rs, knowing NA-Nexon, everything will be

1. Heavily cash based.
2. Different Cash from other versions.
3. Cash = everything.

They done this for North American Maple Story (comparing KMS) so why not Mabinogi?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As far as cash shop things go, I played the test servers just fine without any need for a cash shop item (and since it was the monthly-wiped test servers, no age reset either). It'll be interesting to see what's offered, though.

I don't think I haven't mentioned this before.

Mabinogi has no cash item as far as I know.

But knowing Nexon America, yes they will add bunch of cash items that no other version has.

I don't think Nexon America will ever go P2P. The worst thing they can do is adding cash system. (Korean Mabinogi went P2P -> F2P)

But than, you never know. RO just went to P2P -> P2P + Cash.

I personally found the game really... boring, Yogurting apealed more to me. School kids > Elves and human.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I thought that the korean Mabinogi had some optional-payment bonuses though, like longer play time on the servers that don't wipe, more pets and/or character design options, age reset, and the like?

Server whipe? I never heard of these, those are on test servers no?

Ahahaha, those sons of bitches, they added cash while I was gone.

There will be movie streaming. Click bottom right button of movie box. [it will lead you to silly homeweb]

Than you will see shop on tool box of the site.

"Character-cards" "Pet Cards" "Gear Chards" "Fashion" blah blah

Another typical Korean MMO from Nexon. I hate MMORPG thanks to cash shit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
