Well, similar to brad's example, there a lot of people who are kinda turned off because of how Mabinogi sounds. It's hard to get friends to play something like that. Honestly, if I knew nothing about Mabi and my friends asked me to play it, I'd just laugh.

My parents are alright with me playing online games, they just hate now Nexon's NX system works. Their greed annoys my dad so much

My parents don't even mind me playing M-rated and X-rated games, as long as I don't get too absorbed with it (yes, i'm 17 irl and they really don't mind me playing eroges)
The only time they actually said something about my Mabinogi gameplay was when I was spending 1/2 of my 24 hours on the computer. They said Mabinogi was "A trap by Japanese Game Makers to make money" Which really flipped me off because Nexon is obviously a game company from Korea, and i'm not the one spending hundreds of dollars on NX (I only buy around $10 nx every half year or so)
Parents are idiots when it comes to gameplay, unless they play it themselves.
Conclusion: Don't let it bother you

Might I add that my parents always play games when they're on computers?
So really, they never complain to me.

How can they tell if it's japanese or korean xD.
I'm sure some white people (not trying to be racist here D<) calls anything Asian, Chinese.

They always say it wrong, and often to bug me :pissedoff:
As in when someone annoys you by repeating something over and over again :fail:

Not at all, same thing for Indians xD.
It's more like I can't tell if a white guy is Russian or stuff like that unless they talk, or tell me. Same thing for Asians and w/e else.

My parents just call all games as games, regardless of what I am playing. They think that only little kids plays games, no matter what type of games. Kind of boring response.

my mother is trying to tentatively approve, especially since i've been playing mabi for a while.
originally she was very anti-video game, but she sort of viewed it like a drug addiction - if she isn't okay with it, i'm just gonna do it elsewhere and come home at four in the morning after a COD party. (female COD player here)
i subsequently got her addicted to animal story to shut her up.
and thus, our household functions!
:D

If my mom is on, I don't really care.
If my dad is on, I GTFO as soon as possible.
