  I suggest making a character on Lute as other players suggested. i play on Harp server and i don't think there is anyone in Harp server who speaks english so i'm planning on moving my character and pets to the Lute server.

  
  You can move pets/chars over? Or do you just mean recreating them there?

  I don't know if this is still a thing or not...
  
  but when I had a character in the early Mabinogi days in KR server, servers had age restrictions. For example, Lute and Wolf were 12 and over, while Harp was 18 and over. Not sure why they did that or if they still do it.
  
  Another thing to note is that some Koreans might not exactly be too friendly with foreigners, especially if you don't know Korean, although I'd assume this is mostly not the case. And also, little Korean kids that play this game, or called 초딩 in Korea, may be a bit of a bugger to you, but then again, I guess that's the same with any country.
  
  Also, I don't know why no one mentioned this in this thread. But this is how KR server registration works. First of all, you'd have to get your Alien Registration Number. This is an equivalent of Korea's Resident Registration Number (주민등록번호), similar to Social Security Number of the US. Once you have the access to your number, you're now recognized as a foreigner staying in Korea. Second of all, you'd have to use I-Pin. When you try to make an account in Mabinogi, it should prompt you to register with I-Pin account, which you can confirm your membership via mobile devices.

  Yes, KR servers do allow (or at least did, I don't remember) to move your characters. Your stats, skills, items, everything. It's a wonderful feature that NA Mabinogi still hasn't done for some odd reason.

  You can move your characters and pets to another server but you have to pay. they give you 2 services:
  Service #1: Move A character to another server for 26200 NX (thats 26200 Won or 26.20 USD)
  Service #2: move A pet/partner character to another server for 6,600 NX (6600 won or 6.60 USD)
  and as ironwoman stated, Almost all companies require you to sign up with either IPin or your cellphone to verify your info.
  (e.g. Nexon, Netmarble, Hangame, NCSoft, RIOT KR, ,etc ,etc)
  ,also (ARC is Alien Registration Card) and (ARN in Alien Registration Number)
  To sign up for an ARC you go to the immigration office
  To sign up for IPIN, you need at least your ARN, a cellphone number and a home phone number
  To sign up for a Cellphone, your info, your ARC and where you live and etc etc.
  i chose the cellphone option because it was easier and i am barely at home so i didn't need a home phone.

  So if they released that service over here at the same prices it would cost me $356 to move my character and pets to another server.
  
  Holy fuck. Guess that's not happening ever. Lmao.

  How long has this server swapping service existed?

  Haven't seen a single person using English in either Wolf or Lute server. Anyways in terms of populations, Lute>Harp>Mandolin=Wolf. Even if you play in Wolf, you should have no problem playing a game & they have more channels than Alexina (which is the most populated server here in NA)

  Been a while. Most of times you have to pay NX to switch servers but sometimes they let you switch servers for free.
