If Mabinogi II is a separate game, will you play it?

  I highly doubt it. Unless it's layed out obscenely similar to this Mabi i wont move, I've gotten to used to it and I don't feel like getting used to a new set up now. If they shut down original mabi for mabi 2 i'll probably not touch Nexon games again and probably not anymore MMOs. I've grown tired.

  I do wonder though.
  According to Kitae, one reason to change heroes to vindictus was because mabi was poorly received and they didn't want people to asociate the names. If this were true, then chances of getting this localized are low.
  
  Unless... Nexon changes Mabinogi II to Vindictus II: The Fomorian counterattack!

  
  
  I doubt it. Infact, from what I hear, Mabinogi NA is actually pretty stable in terms of population (we really have a lot of people), but the problem is that for the past 2 months, we hadn't gotten any surge of new players, so Nexon is probably worried on how to pull more people in. Even if you have a currently large crowd size, people will eventually leave the game (school, studies, life, other mmos, etc. reasons) and without new blood, it won't attract much people.
  
  Anyways the a lot of the English player population tend to see Mabinogi as a "turn off" game. With its anime-estique graphics (for some reason graphics determine a lot by other players), it seems carefree. With its "fantasy life" most people see it as nothing more than a 3d chat world based game.
  
  So by naming it Mabinogi Heroes, people will most likely reflect it to Mabinogi in terms of looks and gameplay. By renaming it, it becomes its own standalone game with a fresh start.
  
  Of course take my post with a tab of salt. Since I'm sure there's many differing opinions on why they renamed it, but that's what I've been seeing.

  If it has less features than Mabinogi then I won't play it.

  Quite unsure. But if it's as grindy as Mabinogi is, then no.

  
  
  Grindy? Mabinogi is the least grindy MMOG I've ever played. Just do a few dungeons with friends every 3 weeks and get a ton of lvls.In generic MMO, get high lvl = grind 100 hours for 1 lvl.
  Of course, there are some time-consuming life skills, but getting r1 is still just equal to 1 level up in a grind MMOG.

  Its a separate game with an entirely different engine.
  
  We've already seen some graphical previews, it looks a lot like Husky Express. Which is pretty nifty.
  
  The only thing we know about gameplay is that according to the devs, it will "drastically change how mmo's are viewed and played".

  
  Graphical previews? Where? :L
  So it will look like Husky Express instead of Vindictus? I won't get to see jiggling?

  In GW2 you don't get to transfer anything, but you get some extras for having loads of stuff.

  If it's a new game that's basically an upgraded mabi on steroids? hell no. I put too much time into mabi.
  If it's a totally different game like vindictus is to mabi1, yes. If it's a major overhaul of the game, also yes.
