Quote from Kyishi;1280516:
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?
Strictly speaking, the Celtic lore that Mabinogi is based on did indeed have some rituals and the like. What is now St Patrick's day was originally the feast of Crom Cruaich, which at one time involved sacrafice rituals. Of course St Patrick smashed the statue to prevent the ritual from taking place, and then the christian-approved holiday that exists today was established in its place.
This guy is just whacko though. Mabinogi rewrites the mythology it is based on to avoid the bulk of the less ethical rituals and workings. It doesn't even show blood, defeated enemies just fall over and dissappear. There's far worse games people could play, games that did not simplify their source mythology and kept the disturbing rituals.

Either somebody's horribly delusional (and needs more therapy time) or somebody is trying to ruin the game's reputation. Mabinogi is quite light on the subject of blood, and it's hardly mentioned outside of a few item descriptions, let alone a prominent enough subject for rituals.
It would be an interesting move at least, since Nexon would probably be contacted by law enforcement about all this and have to explain themselves. Plus the courts would have no clue at all how to deal with it, most of the jurors being completely unfamiliar with how MMORPGs work. Or roleplaying in general, which can be quite relaxing and enjoyable- but is not reality and never should be reality.

Yes, I understand.. Except he tried to blame the whole thing on Mabinogi, then he get bailed and went to play Mabinogi... That is only just going to make you look like a hypocrite and make you look more stupid and desperate.

he is obviously an addict who can't control himself or his bloodlust, the evil korean game has stolen his soul and corrupted his mind. someone should ask him about it in game tho I wanna hear the story first hand.
Nexon should ban him on the basis that he used their game to perform illegal activity. Such would also reduce their liability- if they let him continue to play what exactly is stopping him from doing this again.
You can't just blame Mabinogi for your sick personality and expect to continue playing like nothing happened. Not going to happen, and I hope people who are on the server he is on report him to Nexon to make sure he gets removed.
