This is a serious question. The last time I played mabinogi was like... when Iria came out. At that time If I were bored I could usually walk into any dungeon and there would be a bunch of people camping out and starting parties for basic,intermediate, and what not. Since I came back it seems like every dungeon is a ghost town. Is this because I'm on server ruairi, or am I looking in the wrong dungeons, or do people just solo everything now.

Your looking at dungeons which, for the most part, are obsolete at this point in the game. People normally run Shadow Missions now which centralize in Tara and Tail.

I still like to do dungeons :(
No one else does.

It's not TOO hard to find party for Alby Adv HM or Peaca, but other than that, dungeon is pretty much dead.

Pretty much this. Only reason you'd fine people running for dungeons is when they want to get a hebona robe, Steel Needle ES (which no one seems to care about but I do), or clearing dailies for peaca, which 98% of the population can't solo, apparently.
I guess you could say you can go spam Ciar Adv hm for Lion Hunter's ES.

Today I opened a Math Adv. for 3 party (which should be pretty popular due to Hellhound Skulls) in the most (or only, because Tarlach) crowded channel and didn't get any reply at all. Maybe that guy who's told me "nobody runs dungeons" was actually right.

yeah you can find people wanting to do dungeons as far away from a dungeon as possible
nobody does them since their rewards are horrible for the effort spent

Now you're starting to see it?
Welcome to the reality. I feel that "I told you so" is the right phrase to use here. If you want to run those dungeons, get people on frieldlist to help, not randoms.

Well, to be fair, you ARE asking random people to spend time in a long dungeon with you so that
you can get the reward (noting that dungeons do not give big per-member rewards like SMs do).
Lots of people don't
enjoy dungeons anymore (i.e. run them just to run them or for fun) because they're longer than shadow missions with much less rewards, so they'll only do them with randoms if they have a chance to get something good out of it too for the time spent.
For gathering people to run dungeons for item drops for skills and such, just poke people on your friendslist, I never have an issue gathering people I know for dungeon runs.

I managed to solo peaca normal for the first time last night. Had not run it seriously in ages, usually gave up if too many mixed mobs spawned or ghosts. Decided to do it after seeing this thread. Was quite fun to do. Recorded the whole thing too so I'll post the video when I have time to speed it up and render it.

Indeed, I really like dungeons, personally, though I'm really low level so I don't have much of an opinion Shadow Missions quite yet anyway (aside from that I learned the hard way to not try and solo them at such a low level with little to no combat skills).
I've had a rough time trying to rank my Composition since it requires a drop from a dungeon I can't solo and I don't have any friends. :skip:
