Hello
Please don't cut me for asking this question
I'm still a Mabi noob and I'm finding it difficult to socialise
Playing solo is also kind of lonely
How do you talk to people on Mabi do you just run into groups of people?
:hot:

First, this question shouldn't be a reason to cut you, that would be absurd.
To answer your question, there are several ways:
1. Go out of your ways, literally greet random people, and see how that work out. Can't guarantee the results, but sometimes you gotta go out of your comfort zone.
2. If you're not an American player (or at least have different ethnic background like Europeans, Koreans, etc), you can always find the small communities of ethnic guilds/groups. Some players are hidden minorities, one of them being me. I'm Korean myself, but most Koreans in Alexina are not aware of that. Speaking for Koreans, there are three guilds for them (in Alexina, that is), whichever one you want to join is up to you, I'm in an American guild because I have my friends there.
3. Trades. When you begin to do lots and lots of trades, some might ask you to remain on their friendlist so they can sell/get help/help/run stuff/etc. Doesn's happen too often, but once in awhile.
As for me, I welcome new people to my friendlist, but I ask you not to beg for stuff. I'll most likely provide help, but not for this month, considering how much less time I have.

Building on what ironwoman said, guilds are indeed a great way to make new friends. I've observed that guilds that stick to one channel and full of friendly people are the groups to break the ice with so to speak.
Another alternative is making a Mabinogi based blog on Tumblr. There's quite an active community that's very very social both on the website and in-game.
Good luck out there!

Ways I've made friends on Mabi...
1 - Music. If somebody plays some music you recognize, say it. They might start talking to you. Otherwise sometimes I've been playing music and people recognized it and said something.
2 - If somebody's around in a spot you're in, ask them what they're doing. Like if you're in a dungeon lobby and you see somebody else walk in and wait a minute, ask them what they're up to. They might want company for the dungeon or something.
3 - Trade/shop stuff as mentioned by others.

Commenting on people's gear is always a good icebreaker, everyone loves a compliment

I'm having the same problem with making friends on mabinogi, and those tips sound like they would work great! but i'm low level so would these still work?

Show proper typing and thoughts and an interest in other people and you'll be fine regardless of level. It's not like hardmode shadow missions are the only thing to do on Mabi (though some people believe otherwise).

Ahaha oh wow I am incredibly surprised
Goodness everyone here is so nice
Thank you all for providing such detailed answers and helping this noob
I didn't know how enthusiastic and helpful the Mabinogi community was
Being socially awkward does not help me with my life
Guess I'll stop lurking around
Hope people won't judge my attempts at being social too hard [/FONT]

As long as it's not some stupid question like "Can babies get pregnant", you're fine.

Well said. ONLY THING TO DO IN MABI IS ELITE. Hardmode is for lazy people (or people that just don't wanna leech but aren't good enough).
