I'd rather they reset weekly. 12 people per year isn't going to serve enough for the entire population.
The cylinder upgrade discovery could reset, too.
Restting all seal stones weekly would be wonderful for me...
But they need to make it so you can break each seal stone only one time, totaling up to 12 titles.
Once you break all seals, you can't break anymore seals again.

Yup, pretty much this, plus the server leader must have LOT of dedications if they want to keep it running.
Even the admin for Mabinogi Reborn said that if they don't have at least about 100 active players by end of month, they might will close the private server down.
This goal won't be reached because they have nothing to entice the users to play it instead of the original. The only way MabiRe will survive is if they change their approach and stop trying to be just like another Mabinogi server. All they have to do is look at other private servers of other games and adapt like them.

The main problem with this private server is that it's pretty much a repeat of the original Mabinogi.
If you want people to be hooked, you should be making something radically different.

Mabinogi takes too long to start over. He should just let people have like 10x rates, daily rebirths, and seal stone to reset daily or something.
Anything on the private server seems very temporary. It looks like it can close at any moment.

There is no way for you to go to jail for playing a private server. Companies could go after the creators of private servers but they don't have time to waste on each individual player of that server. Usually what happens is the company finds how to contact the creator and threatens them to close their server or they will take legal action.

Sounds fun but I don't want to re-rank my skills and play on unstable servers

Between Mabi, Vindi, Aura Kingdom, PSO2, Sims, Minecraft, and Dragon Age: Inquisition, I honestly wouldn't have the time, even if I was interested.

Mana evaporation, no homesteads, 8 durability on perfectly upgraded wands, 97% max repair.

Doing melee/archery would be fun though, all hail Elf Rangers. 90% of players couldn't handle pre-genesis, but it's the only thing that attracts me. For all intents and purposes I do not support intellectual theft.
Other issues include:
-player-based moderation/GMs
-private-based hosting: connectivity & lag
-JP client: I don't speak Chinese (joke)
-no credibility: GMs can hand out 100000 AP at will, add stats to a player, give them a perfect 6/6/6 elemental reforge, or advance a player's progress through any number of ways
-not enough population/friends don't play
-security issues: account security is poor, risk of downloading virus/adware is high

With regards to time "investment," you're actually wasting time regardless of whether you're putting it into the official server or the private one.
That said, a MapleStory private server would always have more appeal than the Mabinogi equivalent, because Maple gameplay is tiered largely by levels (or at least it was when I played.) That is, friends would need to be at a similar level to train together, beat tough bosses and such--and it took a very long time to level. Not so much the case with Mabinogi, where players with hugely varying TTLs can play together just fine (and almost all gameplay is in private instances, anyway.) There isn't much benefit to a private server for friends to better enjoy playing together in Mabinogi.
From a technical standpoint, however, I think it's pretty cool to have alternate servers hosted and partly coded by third parties.
Speaking of a more technical standpoint...
[SIZE="4"]DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THE SAME LOGIN ID/PASSWOD as your real Mabinogi account[/SIZE]
...as nothing would stop them from collecting this info and pwning your real account(s). Not saying they would (I don't know who runs it), but this is just some surprisingly uncommon common sense that people should keep in mind. If you need to download a custom .exe client to connect to the private server, I wouldn't even trust running that on my real computer, as it could contain malware.
