Coming back... Maybe..Why do you still play?
So i had been watching a twitch streamer for a while yesterday i go to their channel and see them playing and i go....holy i recognize this person and after a while of chatting i download mabi. After i log in i noticed some things the population has taken a massive drop and the market is well last time i was on fine reforges sold for like 200-ish each now it is like 400k.I'm wondering about everyone elses take on this is it worth getting back into and why do you still play?
Comments
Reforges are considered cheaper now. Not sure at what point 200k was the norm.
I still love just playing freestyle jams in dunbarton. Mostly just waiting on g21 right now, but i'm taking some time to train my character again in prevision of that.
I'm just slowly reconnecting with the game, and yeah, while there's been a decline in population, you'll still find people wanting to hang out, i'm sure. There's probably content you missed on that you could catch up on as well.
i used to do a lot of merchant work before i left thats what i recall selling them for i could be wrong.
Friends
Already spent money on pets and other things
Events that give free stuff
Updates and new features
I recently completed G19 (onto G20!)
I have talents to master still,
I have yet to get a GM title ..cuz' I'm lazy..,
new content will be released (story or outfit wise haha)..
Then there is my friends. I love grouping together to play music, play mafia or just talk with each other on a particular crappy day, or just run SM's/Dungeons/Sidhe Finnachaid together if we are bored.
About 1 or 2 years ago (on Mari at least). I started going to Belfast for the first time in ages after the Festia Instant Prize Event where they gave out 5m checks. I was super shocked to see Reforges costing more than 200k (excluding the scammers that would try to sell for 2m).
and if you're a masochist well... you're in good company, I guess.
Real world trades have been a part of every mmo since well... ever. And I think some of our GMs do care there just isn't much they can do.
Maybe if you're low level or don't know what you're doing you can't progress. My s/o started playing mabi 2 months ago and only really has time to play less than 8 hours a week at most, and she's already progressed more than half the people I see in game grinding all day. Why are you still here if you hate the game so much?
mabi is one of the only living mmos now.... unless your cool with WoW Clones and runescape (although runescape has taken a substantial hit in player base RIPPP)
not that all mmos suck but i dont really wanna play things like neverwinter/teso where we get merged together unless you do the massive end game (limited to daily missions, huge questlines full of walking even with decent mounts) or things like tera/bdo where we got map wide AoE and are pretty much just maplestory clones where you try and kill and mob as many mobs as you can, then 1 skill kill them all, NO THANK YOU.... Tree of savior just got lame huge disappointment for the hype but playable... i bet dfo would be pretty good if it didnt have a million classes... causer you know, after a while you cant really not recycle skills
and if your that thirsty or lacking a pc yeah theres some pretty good games that are 15 years old you could play im not gonna bother naming them
edit: theres a few games like albion and stuff that are OK and meet some of the requirements ive mentioned but those are just military simulators and arent any fun for solo players/people without friends/people who dont wanna join guilds or just wanna play with a small party cause your just gonna get zerged and its NO FUN AT ALL And even in a 2v1 where your the one , even if your a strong solo player, your probably not gonna kill both of them unless your really well geared for whereever your playing and getting ganked, OR you can run away (maybe)
im thinking about playing some guild wars 1 next time i take a mabi break
Also, regarding reforges, those are litterly the easy way of upgrading your gear.... i bet you not even 60% of the current player base has a decent artisan upgrade.....
If you are in need of deep, balanced gameplay and attention to detail, try out Achaea. It's a MUD, meaning it is text-based and lacks graphics.
The only game where I leave for 6 months and come back relatively to stability
