Mabinogi is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game released by South Korean Game Distributing Company Nexon, and developed by devCAT studio. Although the name of the game is taken from the Mabinogion, a Welsh anthology of legend, the settings for the game are loosely based on Irish mythology. (Well, that's a surprise)

The game engine features hand-painted textures stylized with edge detection outlining. The game world is developed continuously, through the release of important updates (referred to as "Generations" and "Seasons") that introduce new areas, additional features such as pets and new skills, and advancement of the storyline.

The player is not limited by any class other than the character's race, and is free to level up any of the different skills available. The combination of skill choices, age, items, physical constitution, and other variables such as user titles, is what makes up the character. The gameplay is largely skill-based. To learn and improve skills, Ability Points (AP) are required.
There are also various social aspects, like sitting around a campfire, playing music, having a friendly chat, sharing food, as well as making use of different facial expressions to make user interaction more colorful.
There are currently three continents, Uladh, Belvast and Iria. If the player decides to start as a human, he or she will begin their game in the Uladh village of Tir Chonaill, or the Qilla Base Camp in Iria. If the player chooses to be an elf, the game begins in Iria at Filia, in the region Connous. Should the player decide to start as a Giant, they will begin their game at Vales, in the region Physis, which is located far north in the continent of Iria. As of the Generation 13 patch, a realm outside of Erinn, Avon (based on Stratford-upon-Avon), is able to be accessed by an item found in the first mainstream quest of that generation. As of Generation 15, Belvast Island was introduced (based upon the city Belfast). This island is accessible by taking a ship from the continent of Uladh.

Characters are created by using Character Cards. One card (called a free card) is given free of charge when there are no characters in the account (such as when an account is newly created). There are two kinds of cards that can be bought: basic and premium. Basic cards costs less, but can not use premium features. Premium cards allow more customization options, such as lips, eyes, hair, and colors, but are not required.
Currently there are three races: human, elf and giant. When creating a character, one may choose an age between ten and seventeen. The character will age one year every (real) week. Different ages yield different initial stats and affect the amount of stats raised when leveling up. AP (Ability Points) are also granted when aging; the younger one is, the more AP they will get when they age.
Rebirth is an important feature in Mabinogi. Rebirth allows the player to change the character's age, gender, appearance, and reset the character's level back to 1, while keeping all previously learned skills. As of the North American release of "Pioneers of Iria" players may now rebirth for free upon reaching age 20. The free rebirth option allows the player to reset their level and age, but will not allow them to change their character's appearance. Basic and Premium cards are available to players who do not wish to wait for their character to age to 20, but have a one-week delay limit from the previous rebirth. Rebirthing by use of a character card will allow the player to change their character's appearance as well as reset age and level.
Each (real world) day of the week grants players specific bonuses, such as getting a higher experience rate for certain skills, higher item creation success rate, aging, gaining AP, etc.

There is a wide range of Life skills which give the player the chance to experience a different side of the “fantasy life”. Players can perform tasks such as tending to the wheat and potato fields, making flour, gathering wool from sheep and eggs from hens, weaving and making garments, mining for minerals and crafting weapons, playing and composing music, cooking dishes, taming animals, etc.
Using a system called Music Markup Language (actually a variation of Music Macro Language, which is completely distinct from the notation format usually referred to as Music Markup Language), players may compose their own arrangements or use music scrolls created by other players. In the North American version, these are known as the "Compose" and "Play Music" skills. Different musical instruments, such as lutes, ukuleles, flutes, and others can be used to play.
NPC interaction is important. As the player talks to different non-player characters, more dialog keywords will become available. These will reveal plot points and NPC backgrounds, unlock quests or skills, etc. NPCs also offer a variety of services such as shops, item repair and upgrade, skill apprenticeships and more. Players can also request part-time jobs from some of the NPCs, which can be completed in a quest-like fashion.

Though there is more about this game, there's too much info to be put.

Personally, I love this game. I can be whatever talent I want to be, there's no limit of leveling up(rebirths) and it's a slow paced game like Maplestory. I highly recommend this game to anyone who's into slow paced games.

I'll try this game....

is this for PC

I shall try to play this. I already have a Nexon account though and I dont remember making it. XD

Ahhhhh! ive been wanting to play this but I have the kind of internet that has a limited amount of data and im not sure if it will take alot to download it, guess i better start looking for a library or something

>>6 The data of the download itself is pretty low, but the space it takes to play it is an entirely different story. And, because of how combat works, lag is a total gamebreaker.

Been wanting to play this, but meh computer is shit tier.

More reasons to play it?

WOOO! I got wings!(They're kinda small, but still, I GOT WINGS!)

Bumping this. My character(again, come on, people. D:)

Major update on my character.

>>12 is did upload correctly :D

Bumping but this time with the guild I'm in on the Tarlach Server.
2nd to last on the right is me.

i would start playing it again but several things keep me from enjoying it
1)patching takes forever
2)some kind of graphics card error that escapes me at this point
2.5)...which leads into janky graphics for some reason
3)the character cards costing too much NX
4)they only give you one to start
i do like this game but my COMP seems to reject this game like the plague. (3 and 4 are munny issues)

Level 1828

Holy crap o.o not sure if that's high, but that sounds high, I'm not sure what level I am, but I like to play mabinogi :3 maybe you saw me asking you about it on the MFW thread xD

>>17 Well feel free to add me on Mabi if you want.

I noted that this was the official thread, but I thought that since what I had in mind was a specific thing that I would need to make a new thread for it. Since I was mistaken I apologize.

I'm really kind of in need of adventure partners cause there's a lot of quests that require 2+ people and I'm pretty much a solo player.

Bumping, so there's a SAO event going on, on Mabi right now for 4 weeks. There are costumes of Kirito, Asuna, Heathcliff, and Lisbeth.

And here's my character in the Kirito outfit(not the shoes or gloves that come with it.)

I'm on from 12pm EST - 6/7pm EST on school days, If it's a day off I'm on all day.

I havent played in a long while but i recall when the game first hit the US. I have played it on and of for years. I love the stories and the neat game mechanics that encourages playing a non traditional style.

I have an entirely non combat skill character and it WORKS!

My bother plays Mabinogi, is it as good as people say it is?

It might not be perfect but its addicting once you get the hang of it

Time to check in.
Here's me and my gf's characters.
Level:4001
Exploration:1405

I'm new to this game.

Name: Mahousukai
Server: Tarlach

I'll see if I'll bump into you in Tarlach haha!

>>52 You'll most likely see me in Dunbarton(Dunby for short) once you get there. I don't mind helping with some quest and stuff.
Feel free to add me!

Im so downloading right now xD I need!!

If new people need guides, check out steam, mabinogi on there and people put up guides for noobs, and remember to have a wiki up, cause you always got to do some research with these types of game.

|___|

Here's me again. At the 7th anniversary event of Mabinogi.

Level 4327

If this game get remastered, as in remade in newer graphics/engine or what not,
That would be freaking awesome, even better in virtual reality, like SAO

Yeah, me again.
Level 4500

Ima just bump this.

There has been a Melee Combat Renovation that makes it so Warrior skills have debuffs(like bleeding effect, AOE, bla bla bla). 2 new skills have been added too. Bash and Rage Impact.

Also looking the same as the picture above, except the red part is black.
Level 4900

>>60 how many hours do ye put in the game? To gain 400 levels is no easy feat, especially when ye in the thousands, unless that is cumulative.

>>61 2 years.

And it's cumulative

10/10 best game!
You guys are amazing for actually getting up to level thousands.. Here I am.. starting in level 20 lol

>>63 Ah i see.
>>64 Ah i remember the time i started out, fun times.
Good luck and have fun with ye adventure!

Bump. The Mage renovation has happened a while.

RIP MAbi EU

Anymore people on here play this? Come ooooon.

what game ...?

Name: Celeniya
Server: Tarlach
Level: 21
Main Talent: Mage

I joined yesterday and I thought "why not see if the Dollars has a thread for this?".

This game is pretty damn good, Highly recommend it.

i am downloading it any advice???

>>72

Well try to stay in Tir Chonaill alittle bit at the start I guess, Till you know a little bit about the skills and stuff.^^ Am not playing that long myself. Have fun.

>>72
Stick with 1 or 2 talents until you hit level 100, go 3 or 4 talent after that until level 450, and on and on. I don't recommend you staying in Tir Chonail all the time. Head around to Dunbarton because of 2 other dungeons(Math and Rabbie). You want to run in 3 of the dungeons in the area of Tir and Dunby when you hit level 50+. Those would be Ciar(In Tir), Math, and Rabbie(Dunbarton area) Dungeon. Not in any order.
NEVER try to do Peaca dungeon. Not even at level 1000. DO NOT.
Coming from me, level 5000+ 2 years 8 months Mabi player.

Here what you do, read what the NPCs say, do not skip over their dialogue.
Try talking to them with the keywords, most especially the skills one.
Do part time jobs for the NPCs, it helps, like the church or the healers.
Try sticking towards the main quest in order if you want a better understanding of the story.
And my most important tip

Research the game, use the wiki as a means to learn and progress.
This one is the one you should use: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Wiki_Home

thanks for the advice i decided for the ninja talent and adventure talent my race is elf only a question how do i earn money fast???

>>77 Shadow Missions.

Buuuumping of my char. I hit the Druid talent a while ago.

Level- 7003
Exploration- 2114

Just been mastering so many talents.

i got to say i love this MMORPG it really fun just getting gold is so hard sometimes does anyone have any tips for me i would really appreciate your guys help

I keep on showing off, don't I? :v Charbump

Level - 7281
Exploration - 2179

Yeah its great but its so annoying that its region locked, I need to use Hotspot Shield to get into the servers cause I live in Europe.

Bump

Buuuump.

Level-8027
Exploration-2379

Bumping this. Hit my level 9000 milestone onto here. Pretty much look the same.

is anyone willing to trade? I've been looking for an Elucidator and a Dark Repulser, i'm willing to part with everything in my inventory and all my gold and then whatever i get for a month.

Well....I wonder what Hatash feels when he goes over this thread, looking at his character grow over the 3 years.

I was looking for a new game to play. I'll go try this out then :)

I need to create a new Nexon account in order to get back into Mabinogi (Messed up my old account with many noobish moves from around a year ago). Any tips for players who are pretty much beginning again?

My friend said they were a king of some sort in the game. Urged me to download it, but I never did. To do so, someone has to convince me on here, haha.

>>88 Pretty much like wow, I worked on this character for that long, and the fact I've leveled up higher than most Generation 1 players have.

I'm still looking for Elucidator and Dark Repulser. I'm on the Tarlach server and my IGN is ZDemon.

Just doing this. Halfway to level 10k.

Also, here's a tip. Try to master Archer and Alchemy(both) before you gain 2600 Combat Power(aka Weakest/Weak/()/Strong/Awful/Boss unless using Abyss) It's gonna be a pain to try to get -cp gear, the easiest you'll get is a -500 CP Brigandine if you join a Black/White Dragon run. Only need to participate up to 1500 points.(For better chances)

At this point now, i'll actually pay someone so that i can get the swords...

>>96 Dude, calm down. Those swords are rare nowadays due to collectors and that they were just in a one time event. They're like 3.5m-5m depending on a seller. Don't you go on the shopping channel and put a party up for it? If not, do that instead of bickering on here.

>>97
Sorry... i am calm, it's just that everyone in the Mabinogi forums that are selling it are all on different servers. i kind of thought that i would get a little more results coming here.

>>97
I also don't know how to put up a party...

>>99 "P"

Bumping. All this progress for the past 3 years, and I'm a Master Polymath.

----

Buuuump, Devcat(for the NA) added a permanent addon to the game, Festia Festival. Pretty much it's just a bunch of minigames for those who want to spend time and get prizes on it.
Also my character still looks the same. Cumulative level 13488, Exploration level 3472

Liiiive, people.
A year passed and everything's sort of the same.
Other than that...
Cumulative Level 15302
Exploration Level 4020

Oh I have this game downloaded, but I haven't played it in a while, I might just go back :D
