  So are we gonna get facebook groups of angry mothers against mabinogi now?

  This guy was already messed up. Playing the game would have had no further effect on his actions.

  Doesn't stop the paranoid parents spouting arguments about video violence corrupting our youth though.

  Oh I just love how the anglophone world has absolutely no privacy laws to protect people who are accused of a crime.
  
  
  What a weird dude though.

  Don't brush this off because this may end up blowing the lid of what goes on behind the scenes in the community.
  
  Guys like him are the tip of the iceberg in the sense that there are lots and lots of grown men who are preying on young teens in this game, and the fact that he happened to do it outside the game (though it doesn't say whether he met these girls on the game) doesn't change the fact that there are many males who play this game who have predatory tendencies.
  
  It may just go away, but it may not, and if it doesn't, we have ourselves to blame because we turned a blind eye to it for so long.

  Those who knew him (he was from Alexina) said he met the girl from mabi. Not sure if it's truthful, but who knows.
  
  On a side note, out of all the violent and ritualistic games out there he claims that he based his actions off of MABINOGI? What in the actual fuck?

  There is literally nothing that consists of a blood ritual in the game. A gold ritual yes but blood naw.

  I really hope that mainstream media doesn't latch it's disgusting fangs into this story. The last thing I need is for all sorts of misinformation to be spread about Mabinogi by the likes of CNN. I guess Fox News is the one I should be more concerned about...

  The "mainstream media" will most likely NEVER pick up this story. I highly doubt there's anything to worry about, it was an interesting article that was floating around the mabi community and I wanted to share it, is all. |:

  That's not a blood ritual. That's a mass genocide. Oh wait that's worse...

  Well, Mabinogi is a game that starts with a young floating girl with bouncing bosom introducing a child to a new life of violence in which he is rewarded with titles like "who slew a bear at age 10". Moreover, the admin is called D-E-V-I-L Cat. What did you expect?
  
  [/sarcasm]
  
  I always knew that things like that happen in every game, but I was honestly surprised when I read the article. I mean, seriously? Mabi is one of the more innocent MMORPG I've ever played. How do you bad-mouth a game in which players are encouraged to spend time doing everyday tasks and part-time jobs instead of murdering things 100% of the time?

  Free advertising?
  
  That's one positive thing, but honestly I'm most surprised at the part where news and mabinogi meet
  
  On another note, I call bait:

  ??? What the fuck? How does Mabinogi relate to any of this? Sans the three items and the title, there's literally no blood in there at all.
  
  Vindictus is an entirely different story.
