I logged in today and got a ton of stuff. I dont know where to look on the wiki as im not sure if these are recent events or some long ago update.
I think I got like 5 new character cards? I'm assuming this was just in an update for some reason, is there anything special about these? Can they be any race?
A Cranky Sheep whistle, is this a legit permanent pet with an inventory and everything? I haven't used it yet, but when I do is there any catch to it?
Like 1000 AP, was there an update where there was AP inflation or something?
A ton of odds and ends in the VIP tab, will this expire when the free premium service I apparently has runs out, or will they just remain there stuck?
Thank you! Sorry for being clueless.

Going down the list,
The 5 character cards are just a freebie since new accounts start with 6 nowadays. They are indeed for any race you feel like making, but don't get access to 'vip' styles, iirc.
Not a clue on the sheep whistle thing. Returning player bonus, maybe?
Random AP bonuses are likely from the AP Journal update not too long ago; you get some AP for each talent you have at a certain rank.
For VIP tab, you'll lose the ability to add any new items once you lose beginner service, but you can always remove an item from a locked VIP tab. (this was also changed, if you remember having stuck items before)

Thanks a ton! I'm guessing the journal is the Ap. The sheep pet seems extreme for returning players, dont feel I deserve it for not playing...

The sheep whistle and the gacha/vip/AP is for returning players. It is apparently for random accounts that haven't logged in for some period of time. Depending on how long you were logged off or which package you get, the items and the amount of AP received varies. There are 4 versions of the gacha box, one that has (untradable) Incubus wings.
Also, I believe those who got these items received an email about it. So try and check your email for the official announcement, as it was not posted on the main mabinogi page if I recall.

From my data analytic class, for most companies, the majority of their revenue comes from a small percentage of their customers. So if you have been a heavy spender in the past, it is absolutely in their best interest to give you an huge incentive to return playing (spending) :cheer:
