Hello Everybody
this is Varpur and i was going to start and say how much this game (mabinogi) lacks like my promised new race hopefully dragon-born and a new continent an improvement in the classes/talents/skillset (it doesn't matter what you call it it is simply the same) and finally an improvement in the actual storyline
but i feel as if there is something we don't say around the community a lot even at all
This Is Mabinogi Fantasy Life
Welcome to Mabinogi
yes i get to the point of frustration when in erinn i work so hard and suddenly i stop only to see that iv achieved little to nothing
or the points that i ask myself did my training/work was even worth it
or the point that there isn't any change on the horizon that makes you exited till your eyeballs fall off
yeah been there and im sure there is some predicament that iv not been in
but hi this is mabinogi don't you know its a game and first of all the above and below we like. we play it. aaand the community seems to have some if not influence on the game so yeah mabinogi isnt the most beautiful game or neither the most exiting one (debatable) either but it is what it is further more it is what you make of it don't like then why are you playing i wont lie i had my 'breaks' from the game and i pritty much had it with all the fashion galore every corner you turn
but hi this is mabinogi and nobody is taking an action on it
the game is wonderful the story well written the game mechanics are just well-fitting and the overall environment is flawless (i wouldn't want to see Mecha or even glas in any other gamestyle {worldofwarcraft O.O}) it is so fun to play that we want more , more form the story , more from the mechanics , more from everything which is great but not in our case we got so involved and quite frankly interested that we want not a new addition or change but also our change that change we so deeply desire the one we have been dreaming about for some time 'NEXON DO IT' who did not ever say that? but the truth is that if we get exactly what we want then the game wouldnt be able to evolve correctly sometimes even resulting in irreversible mistakes and agamebreaking (nevertheless nothing is irrepairable if put enough mind and power to it) but we don't actually want that we want the game that game the 'this is mabinogi game' with the kind of bad graphics and the story that just keep on being stuck in tease mode and the overly fashionate people and.. and..
now for the finale i wrote this as last year i finished school at that time ultimate summer was coming and me and my friend played but less then usually then i stumbled upon a post in this place that had a neat lil thing with nao and the player and the sentence [UB]This Is Mabinogi Yknow[/UB]
since then my head is full with that line every single tie i play mabinogi but i feel that a little bit of posetivity is just what the game needs!!! :D

The game is immersively fun for newer players, there's a lot to learn and discover, it's also one of the best Sandbox games despite being outdated.
As your time here goes on however, you've already played through all of the stories and most content, and you'll get the feeling that the rest of the game is nothing but training skills and gaining stats so you can tackle those harder "end-game", non-story related missions and dungeons. You become aware of the fact that the game has more flaws than the naked eye can see, and people will point you towards more of these flaws every day.
Whether you are able to see past these flaws or not is all based on how you like your games or how you enjoy playing Mabinogi.
The stories are great but give us with many unanswered questions, leaving us with nothing but speculation. And a lot of these stories were made by different developers who all had different ideas of how Mabinogi should go, which resulted in chapters that are really hard to put together.
The combat system is amazing although it still has its errors here and there, displacement issues are also a relatively big problem. And the game depends quite a bit on having a decent connection. There's also the problem of combat classes being unbalanced, but it seems pretty unlikely they'll ever find a way to get it all sorted out, if you ask me.
The crafting system and other life skills are also very good. But crafting items feels very unrewarding because of how Gachas spew out the items you can make, only a few times better.This makes crafting skills only worth the stats. The only exceptions are Magic Craft and Engineering, the others are relatively "useless";
The negativity towards the game stems from small issues being found which lead to bigger ones being discovered, and all the flaws make for one pile of issues that we'd like to see dealt with.

Hi there Snowie
you are right about me being kind of new although i did finish almost every mainstream quest and revisiting now those who i missed...
regarding the game i must say the game in my point of view had countless alteration to an easy evolving process as mabinogi isn't the only MMORPG that does survives (if i am not wrong) also the game story-wise offers quite the unique promise altogether you still get the part of revelation to the 'true' colors of mabinogi
skill grinding
story holes
and crafting
yes those are very essentials parts of the game that do 'fail' in [UB]our[/UB] expectation i am corrently lvl 100 total and yet my highest lvl in record was 500 as you imagine i had and still has much more to do as to catch up to the terms of you but even thou my low lvl or experience with the game i still am well aware of talents like puppets ninja guns even some of the life ones that are extremely tedious and frankly quite unappetizing but that's just it while the development wherever its nexon , devcat or even my little brother that plays iPad all the they are not fully responsible as i assume that each of the mention above is not quite the problem itself rather then a mending that wasn't designed well yeah if the development team does things that screams 'not good' i will give them my piece of mind on it and the fact for the story being so unstable is quite irresponsible but this is a community and we can mend the broken part quite well aswell.
looking at these three things i assume there are more of a band-aide then a new update
skill grinding (cpless skills) came for the impossible cp skills?
story holes (well what would you expect if i tell you to rewrite winnie the poo but it has to have a night monster that gives birth to the owl and then acts as the dark lord from star wars) so basically instead of bashing everthing try to accept everything including Shakespeare and Tarlach being bad or so" that would surely give more creative space and well is as much for my dislike the solotion to the problem
and lastly crafting sorry but i didn't know mabinogi is a sandbox game?! wasn't it an 'Fantasy Life' or '[UB]MMORPG[/UB]' not that i don't believe that it could be a sand box too but if you exclude homested then mabinogi isn't much of a sandbox game 'then what are life skills?' they are a filler they fill for op measures and reality measures in the end even the most endlessly game has to end and mabinogi is ending and beginning like a two years old pheonix
so yeah a few porpoises broken can to the heart but the game isn't broken it is consistently get attempted to be broken!
also its nice to meet new ppl :D
