Mabinogi - Review

Released back in 2008 for North America, a developer company named DevCat created a new kind of MMO that takes life, anime and a teeny bit of Irish mythology to create a truly original MMORPG experience called Mabinogi. This little gem is one of Nexon’s oldest titles, featuring unique combat, a freeform skill system, tons of story content and many other features to create a world with lots to see and do.

Since its release, the game has received several expansions called “Generations” that include new areas, new features and advancements to the game’s story content. I got to play this way back during the first couple of generations and a have returned to see that a lot has changed… for better or for worse, that is. So is this “Fantasy Life” still worth living? Let’s take a look.

Play Log - Mabinogi - 8/17/2011

Just putting up a small log for today!

I just started playing Mabinogi again, and this time I'm really starting to get into it. I started over with human character and decided to stay on Mari, because apparently, every other server has gone to hell in a hand basket. Besides, all my pets are here on Mari, anyway.

Right now my human character is LV26 with no rebirths. Already working on G1 quests, but I'm facing a bit of a brick wall trying to complete the Barri dungeon part, so if anyone is playing on Mari, let me know?

Also: I got this adorable little dragon pet with me.

Wanna know what I'm gonna do with it?

GO ON AWESOME MAGICAL ADVENTURES WITH IT, THAT'S WHAT.

 YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH~~~ I'M THE KING OF EVERYTHING!

Play Log - Mabinogi - 12/28

It's been such a long time since I last played this one. I remember hyping the crap out of this back when it was only available in South Korea during its vanilla stages. I had so many good remembers playing Mabinogi. The only reason I didn't play as much as I wanted was due to my old crappy PC.

But now, I have myself a new PC capable of running this, so I figured I'd give it another go. I played English Mabingo during G1 and a little bit of G2, but now its on G12... Man, I missed so much.

I feel pretty damn lost regarding the storyline. right now. It has something to do with alchemy... and a shadow realm? Yeah... I don't know. I haven't gotten the hang of a lot of the new systems such as alchemy and whatnot, so I'm probably gonna be bugging a lot of strangers to help me out.

Despite my love of action MMOs, I still enjoy Mabinogi's active battle system. Trying to get perfect training EXP on skills is still a pain in the ass, though.

 Oh... And I also ran into this thing:

Wat?

Obviously a glitch, but damn it scared the crap out of me when I first saw it.
