  1. Color-selection pet cards are just another money-grabber.
  
  2. Typing in an obviously fake Southern drawl...no, Nexon, just no. You're doing it wrong. If anyone seriously "got into the mood" by reading that, I pity their IQ and sanity levels. Once we see your company actually caring about the players and not playing the part of the sly pickpocket (friendly and nice while stealing us blind), THEN maybe we'll get excited about new cash shop content.
  
  3. People will abuse black and white. My eyes hurt just thinking about it.
  
  
  Three strikes, you're out, Nexon. I never looked forward to this being released. <_<
  
  
  Am I the only one who notices that the cash shop and premium shop get a LOT more updates than the actual game? Am I the only one who thinks there's a reason for that? <_<

  You are not forced to buy the color-selectable horses if you don't like it.
  
  Yes, people will abuse the black and white, but all the best you can do, is just to ignore it. :stress:
  
  Anyway, I'm looking forward to this upgrade a lot. I'm going for a gray horse now. ow o.

  I like the all-white horse, but the all-black looks weird with the saddle colour. At least in the creator.
  
  I might go for a light brown + flaxen mane colour.

  Just my usual cynicism. The way I see the world, most stuff is just a lot of unnecessary fluff covering people's actual motivations. Some people (and organizations) are good at maintaining a believable facade, and others aren't. Nexon falls into the latter category. No facade is better than a poorly-built one. To remain silent and be thought a fool is better than to speak and prove it so, and Nexon certainly showcases their incompetence rather blatantly.

  Giddy’up, Mabinogians! Country greeting, Mabinogians!
  
  Our breeders out’n’ the ranches of Erinn have been workin’ double time over the summa to getcha some of the finest breeds a’ horses this side of the Gairech Badlands! “But we already has horses,” some a’ yer might be sayin’. Not these horses, no sirs (an’ ma’ams, do it please ya). These horses are a different kin’ of horse! They’re color-selectable! Our finest translators accessed a useless mechanic of the game from foreign servers and brought it to you! You might say, Mounts? We have mounts. Nope! Now you can color them!

  From now on, wheneva you purchase a Shire or Thoroughbred from yonder Premium Shop, you will be able to choose the color of the mane, tail, and coat of yer new horse! All sorts of color combinations are available, so don’t let yer imagination limit ya! Black mane, white coat? No problem! You’ll be able to uniquely custa’mize yer horses to your own likin’! We've removed old horses, so now you're forced to pay into our new useless game mechanic. You can choose some impressive new colors, namely black and white! Original!

  If’n you already have a Shire or Thoroughbred card in your pet card inventory, they’ll be the last o’ their kind. That is, you won’t be able to customize their coats. Got an old horse still? F*** you! :D

  Hit the ol’ dusty trail with yer own color-selectable horse! Pay us money for something that adds no value to your gameplay experience!

  i find it funny that you indulge in Cynical, insulting and generally annoying remarks about Nexon, but you've obtained a total of 5000+ And continue to play this game, and THEN you question us about our IQ?
  
  To think, the one who, no doubt supplies Nexon with funds, also has a go at there motives and actions?
  
  I'm calling what i'm seeing here.

  This.
  
  Someone has to pay to keep the game running, all that stuff costs real money. If they can do it by tacking on some useless aesthetic nonsense that people will pay for, in order to let other play for free, then I'm all for it. I'll probably even buy one. For most people, aesthetics do add gameplay value. Otherwise we'd all be happy with 8-bit graphics.
  
  TANSTAAFL.

  Somehow I knew someone would bring that ancient argument to bear. I've gotten used to it by now.
  
  There's nothing we as players can do to stop Nexon from being stupid and ignorant and generally customer-unfriendly. It's a fact that they ARE that way and there is no denying it. I play Mabi because it is Mabi, not because Nexon does a great job -- because they don't.
  
  I've voiced my complaints through all channels available to me -- the official forum, the fan forums, the "ticket system" (which we all know does absolutely nothing), and even the Better Business Bureau (Nexon told me in so many words to f*ck off with the BBB). I sent copies of my attempts to consumer magazines and web journals attempting to gain publicity for the sheer incompetence Nexon shows. Doesn't mean I like Mabi any less; it just means I hate the guts of the company that runs it. There's a major difference there. Mabi would be a truly great MMORPG if Nexon would take its filthy, money-grubbing hands off it. That's all I'm saying.

  The people in power have nothing to gain by creating better customer support (Besides losing money) they are getting players because people like Mabinogi for what it is, not for what it could be, no doubt Nexon (And like most companies) are in for the quick-term cash, although (No doubt) they would get more money if they invested in a long-term plan (Spending money here, to create better game play there) but from what i see, there not going to.

  And that's why they suck! :D
  
  I'm with Trigger on this one.
  
  We all play because we like Mabinogi, not necessarily because we like Nexon.

  Alas, everyone has the same opinion (Besides Nexon, and Nexon kiss ass')
