What happened to the NA dev team for Mabi?

  What is there to release from KR Mabinogi? Aren't we just missing like the beginning of G20? I guess they are just waiting for more G20 to come out more.
  
  There really isn't much that much content left to release besides the usual gachapon/event stuff...[COLOR="Silver"]

  There's the whole Dungeon Revamp KR did recently or were you not aware of that? There's also Rabbie Phantasm they added after the initial Dungeon Revamp.
  
  Storywise G20 is done, there's nothing further to G20. Next up on KR's plate is Spirit Weapon Revamp and G21 later this year.

  There's also the buffed Ninja, which JP already got as pointed out in the other thread.

  And Smart Content, an update from 2013 we still don't have.

  only positive thing that floats in my head rn is the possibility of them struggling with the myknights app. I could be crazy but that's all I got.
  
  On a darker side, they're probably closing down mabi and just milking the players before closing I mean there's no reason for so many sales and the community manager to stay so quiet for no apparent reason right?
  
  idk, these are just my thoughts

  Well I don't think we'll ever get the smart content. If we haven't gotten it by now, probably won't ever happen.

  This was my worry with the release of riders of icarus.
  A translation/programming staff doesn't just magically pop out from nowhere. Unless they hired new staff; which I find highly unlikely, I would think diverted resources. I am no saying they only came from mabi, other games were most likely affected. But is it really fair to be implemeting new games when your other games need updates to keep a player base.

  There's a team in NA? Would surprise me as nearly every single branch now in NA gets their hands tied behind their back, treated like mushrooms, and HAS to release what KR wants them to release, and not a moment sooner/later because they give it only when they believe NA can have it. NA team only gets this damn quiet when they want to hide something too, because Sabina and the rest aren't ghosts. They are only caretakers and Sabina has said it herself that when maintenance extension was a norm, they had to call KR to get it fixed.
  
  I wouldn't be surprised if the team JP has was given translation duty. A few times I've been able to check their maint is dead before ours or coincides. Its also hilarious that we got 2/3 parts of renovation before JP, JP got all 4 in a huge update, and then we got ranger, then alban several weeks later.

  The only logic in Nexon's actions is that NA, and probably EU too, gets the short end of the stick and then beaten with a longer one. The nexon forums being a land of shitposters and memers doesn't help with potentially saying the NA community doesn't deserve it because while we ain't as horrid as some I don't think we're exactly pristine either. Can't even get banned from the forums without some super-severe reason anymore.

  Focus has been diverted from mabi for a long while. Even MS/Vindi afaik get more care than mabi. Heck, Vindi has been constantly with updates for a while now. And do note vindi is under devcat as well. Chances are they have more fun with source code than trudging through the hell of mabi's code. A new game does end up spelling less good for some other games, but with how mabi is right now I think its going to remain stagnant.
  
  This could all just be my opinion though. But its what I believe and why mabi is garbage right now. KR flat out doesn't give a damn about NA.

  In an act of desperation I'm browsing Nexon forums. And I just found a very informative post made by Sabina:
  
  

  [about next week's update] The update will not be G20 just yet and to answer the next question from Chris90 about the delay in G20, it is not really delayed any. There are just other updates that have been scheduled to come before it.

  sauce
  
  So the theory about Koreans going Nazi on us is actually quite likely.

  What updates have we had since what OP said? Events =/= Updates.

  That being said, I've given up hope on any Korean MMO's and am quite content with Runescape and the content that Jagex is offering. At least they listen to their players and it isn't like talking to a brick wall >.>

  
  
  I would hop back on my Runescape account but it's either been deleted or someone's hacked it.
  
  It's a shame, really. That game has beaucoup content but the gameplay holds it back. Taking the associated grind into account I can't bring myself to start over.

  I'm taking a break from MMOs for a while; waiting for Dark Souls 3 (STEAM version). I'll come back to Mabinogi if and when it unfucks itself and starts producing content.

  Chronicles of Elyria is the last hope of the genre for me. If that bombs I'm done. The core gameplay mechanics are just too prone to enabling abuse by greedy publishers/devs.
