Why must Iria be so useless?

  1. New Settlements
  2. Daily activities, mini events that occur once every Mabinogi day and give a shot at good rewards. A unique daily would exist in each settlement.
  3. More frequent field bosses.
  4. Caravan minigame. A group of NPCs need help running a convoy between two settlements, protect the caravan from bandits and wildlife to receive a prize.
  5. Update rafting. Players currently raft solo because the star count is shared between players. If that mechanism was removed you might actually find rafting parties.
  6. New dungeons.
  
  A couple of ideas.

  Long perilous journeys where you can't just afk walk remind me of the wilderness in runescape somehow.
  I mean the old wilderness - the one from like 5 years ago when it was actually cool.

  
  
  lol Runescape. Does anyone actually still play that?

  Probably like 20 kids who actually can play that without being judged, the rest are like 40 year olds who live with their mom.

  My mom used to date this 40+ year old guy (similar in age to her) who played runescape. I watched the two of them play once. It was sad.

  Too exploitable. One high level could carry 7 noobs through the river and they'd all get good prizes for doing nothing.
  
  A better thing to do would be to raise the reward cap to like 150 instead of a pitiful 30 (maybe 400 instead of 100 for ballooning), and add more spawns. Make it so there's no resting point in between spawns (so you're constantly being attacked), stagger the groups a bit (so magic/splash isn't OP), and make the mobs more aggressive (multi-aggro jumpers, longer range+more accurate archers, chaincast/adv magic mages).
  
  Then it'd not only be challenging, but people wouldn't destroy the first half a leg without a sweat and then play dead until they reach the dock.
  It would also screw over those damn river glitchers.

  I guess it's because there aren't any rat monsters in Iria. Either that, or the GDP of Uladh is too low to sustain a favorable trade balance if it attempts long distance trading of dairy products. It is my guess that too many cows get killed by brown foxes (causing of course a dairy shortage), and as a result, a ban on transport of said dairy products was enacted by the kingdom of Aliech. The imperial court at Rath castle most likely saw the folly in paying the opportunity cost which would most certainly rear its ugly head if the markets in Iria were to receive disproportionate quantities of the evidently valuable capital known as "cheese". The other possibility of such economic policy would be that the macro-economy of Iria may develop into a mercantile imperial power by shipping milk harvested from its large gnu population and shipping it over to Uladh which would then process said milk into cheese, which would be sold back to Iria by the manipulation of the market system by the entrepreneurship of crafty milletians capitalizing on their longevity and defiance of the laws of physics. Thus, the cow population of Uladh will not be protected owing to the fact that the gnus of Iria are in much larger proportion thus the kingdom of Aliech will no doubt be subject to economic bondage to Iria.
  
  That is why there is no cheese in Iria.

  
  
  That...was amazing.
