I started a thread like this on the main nexon forums ages ago, I don't know if a thread like this has been posted before. So delete this one if another exists.
Anyways, post your story of how you heard about mabi, what made you join, and what made you stay.
Also, you can post what made you stop playing mabi, if you wish.
Okay, after 5 or so pages, I do believe it's time to post my story...
It all started with Maple (aka. Grindan Story).
I saw the ad for maple on the back of an EGM magazine a looooong time ago, and thought the game looked pretty cool.
Sadly however I had no internet so I couldn't try the game out like I wanted to :(
Fast forward a year later. Visiting my cousin in California, I found out she had a laptop. Since we're cool, she let me use it whenever I felt like it (all I had to do in return was let her borrow my cd player for the rest of my stay).
So while I'm surfing the web, an ad for Kart Rider comes up (and being the Mario Kart Addict that I was, I signed up and Downloaded)
After playing the game for like a week, I then remember something....MAPLESTORY!
Since I already had a nexon ID, all I had to do was download and become addicted.
So I played that for the rest of my month there.
A year later: School starts, my friend talks to me about runescape, I get Internet, then My friend and I join maple at roughly the same time.
Two months later, I quit maple out of sheer boredom,and my friend tells me to avoid playing mabi after I tell him I wanted to join the beta (said it was about farming and sheep herding...wtf.)
3 Months later, My friend up and abandons maple with his newfound girlfriend to play mabi (Hypocrite).
I follow him because I also wanted to try it out.
Fell in love with the game, played for 6 months, lost internet connection and my friends get SUPER HIGH LEVELED in my absence.
Come back, Bored of Tarlach because all my old friends forgot about me or just surpassed me in level by a ridiculous amount.
Join Alexina, find new friends, Haven't looked back since.
Well that was a long read....
Anyways TL;DR: It all started with EGM.
Can't wait to read yours :D

One of my friends made me join. MADE ME, I TELL YOU. Forced me to me join the worst Mabi economy server, too. FORCED.
I stayed because its a nice game.

Started Mabi 'cause I saw an advert for it on the MS site xD Joined because I was bored of Maple. Stuck around for my friends and to just reach my goals. I somewhat stopped playing Mabi actively due to other games xD

Friend made me play, and in return I forced her onto Ruairi because one of my other friends played on there.
Both of us quit because we were losers.
I re-joined because I felt like it.

So at first I was like "Oh hey, fantasy life. Maybe this'll be neat."
Instead of getting Harvest Moon Online I got a game with very well thought out combat xD
Not exactly the "Fantasy Life" I expected at first, but I still love it.

I began out of boredom . I was supposed to make my first character on Mari but I screwed up.
I stayed because it's the only way that I can talk to certain friends. If I did not, I would have stayed playing Manga Fighter

Started Mabi because I played Maplestory and saw the purty Mabi button on Nexon's homepage.
Then got addicted to Mabi. Then left Mabi. Then played again. Then left. Now playing again.

Friend introduced me, but I didn't understand the combat system, and thought the whole thing was stupid. Left soon after. Months later, I was bored of my current game, so I retried mabi. Been playing ever since, and still play actively.

I wanted to play NA Mabinogi but could not due to IP block.
That was when I researched on the other options available and ended up on the chinese server.
I played for a bit, messed around with playing instrument and others before quitting for a year due to no free rebirths. There was absolutely no way I could advance my character at that time and there weren't enough English guides on it too.
Good old times though.
When I rejoined, the conditions were favourable and I had been playing ever since.

During the year of '08, me and Zackeh were MMO hunting. Eventually, I stumbled upon Mabi and got Zack to join as well. -.-' Now he's 4 times my level.

One late night I was just finishing up an assignment, and my friend told me that I HAD to join. We didn't really have many chances to hang out anymore so I gave it a shot, and here I am.
