Am I only one here who HATED Loading Screens?

  Hmm, I think I prefer the loading screen than the white flash. Hurts your eyes sometimes when you're super tired. D: As for the wait, it seems okay with me since it's usually under 10 seconds.

  obviously done for game stability
  unfortunately a necessary evil or whatever that term is.

  Doesn't affect my loading times. At least I'm not stuck staring at nothing. XD

  One of the loading tips is "If you use counter of a succubus something special will happen."
  
  Also, this solves nothing but desync between mount sharing. @@

  Mabinogi is an older MMORPG than WoW. You could say WoW rips things off of Mabinogi, basic things like "getting quests" and "earning exp to gain levels" and so on.
  
  Your friend is sadly misinformed though. "loading screens" have been around far longer than both WoW and Mabi. Everquest used them from day 1, and I'm sure older MMORPGs did before it.
  
  I would even go so far as to say that there probably is nothing original in WoW at all (though having not played the game personally, I could easily be wrong about some random quest or npc or something).

  And we could go on and on about how Mabinogi is different and Wow ripped us off but it doesnt matter. Two separate games and two separate companies. The only game I know of by Nexon, that will even be close to the gameplay of most MMO's nowadays is Dragon Nest. But then again i don't know much about it. Anyways comments like these are flame magnets... usually.... BEWARE!!

  The loading screens make me think of DFO,for some reason....odd since I haven't played that since G7 came out...
  
  I think they'd look nice in fullscreen mode...too bad I like windowed mode a lot more.

  theres nothing wrong with having the loading screens, though it does make the game load a bit slower.

  Even in the time of 8 bit did games have loading screens, so I can't see how WoW could have claim to it.

  It may make the game more stable... and I know the tips really help the newbs... but could we at least be able to turn the tips off? Most of us do not need someone telling us that eating food will help fill up an empty stamina bar.... :D

  WoW has claim to everything. It's because WoW is the center of the universe. All root from it.
  
  /sarcasm
  
  I see a WoW claim in every game I play. It's just because those newbies haven't played any other MMOG.

  Loading screens are allright, I prefer it to the standard pitch black emptyness that preceded it.

  It's taking me over a minute to log into the game now. What the hell is this BS.
  I'm getting some robes and getting the hell out of mabi.
