  There are actually a lot of games that have very realistic physics, but those are usually flash games which have gameplay that depends on physics.
  
  For Mabinogi, well...it's called fantasy life. Plus, if it has magic and we can never die, I wouldn't expect any physics from it. XD

  Ok, let's suspend all the laws of physics, such as friction and gravity! Imagine windmill with that, you would just be a helicopter.

  Lol, helicopter. Boy, that'd be entertaining.

  Without friction you probably wouldn't be able to windmill at all, since you'd have to quickly rotate yourself without using the ground (because it's frictionless and won't do anything).

  @OP: Intense force/resistance depending on the creatures, the rain is never long or frequent enough to make a significant amount of mud, and milletians have a hidden bag of holding and are ghosts. Case closed. :)

  I dare say that this particular opposition of my previous point is indeed quite the conundrum. However, might I point out the severe lack of discernment on your part in regards to the nature of a windmill. Here is a simple graphic that may assist my point.

  So as you see, the windmill derives its spin from the air as opposed to the ground which you insist that it does.

  But that uses wind, not stagnant air. What if there's no wind?

  But you see, the windmill is actually a windmill if one windmill doesn't use one windmill for the other, so the windmill isn't really much of a windmill from the air if the windmill in the air isn't the windmill from the other type of windmill to the windmill in which the windmill originated from, so one windmill would have to be the only windmill if the other windmill wasn't a windmill to the point where it could be considered a windmill for the windmill to be a windmill.
  
  So technically, it is not a windmill.

  Speaking from the point of view of a giant, this is the only thing I'd want to be more realistic:

  On another unrelated note, this made me laugh:

  Armor, for a properly trained person, isn't as cumbersome as people might think!

  That video is a lie. The only thing an arrow can do is knock you slightly backwards leaving no visible wound or damage to the clothing at all. Otherwise, dustin armors would look more like scrap metal after they get hit by a dragon fireball.

  Yet if one windmill is a windmill, does it not follow that another entity bearing the identical name of windmill must be a windmill? I see neither the differentiation nor the logic thereof in which you purpose to separate the two essentially indistinguishable elements. How is it that a windmill is a windmill yet another windmill is not a windmill? Are not all windmills created equal endowed by their creator with unalienable rights... or is that something else? Anyway, I digress, but the point is that if a windmill is to be considered a windmill, then another windmill must needs receive similar treatment!

  Windmill is the name of a break-dancing move, no? And the one animation is wildly seen as a break-dance.

  Well yeah, but in this game it's based on that windmill between the school and Ferghus.
