Weekly Loc Discussion: Mabinogi Seasons!
Howdy, folks! You may have noticed our radio silence last week, but rest assured, we have not forgotten about you! In fact, we've been hard at work getting a ton of amazing new content ready for you that will (hopefully!) keep you enchanted and entertained during your days in Erinn.
September is halfway over, and the displays in stores everywhere are beginning to put out their pumpkins, ghosts, and plastic spiders for Halloween (they seem to show up earlier every year...), which got us to wondering... In the time you've been playing Mabinogi, what has been your favorite seasonal event? What made that event memorable? Was it a great reward? Fun characters and dialogue? Really involved quests that kept you busy? With such a long history, there are plenty of Mabi memories to draw on, so let us know!

I liked that you could do it on all of your characters. It gave me something to grind without it being related to CP and it wasn't AFK. Plus, the fairy's popping out are cute. >w<
This was way back when, so I don't have very many pictures of the event, but I remember one thing.
Now, this was WAY before Style tab, but this event was very unique for its time, as whenever your character was helping out one of the Santas, your clothing would be altered to show your character wearing a Santa's helper outfit of the same color.
Here's my character back in 2008 helping Bangor's Santa, showing me having the appearance of his Yellow outfit.
Now I'm sure it's nostalgia goggles wishing this would be brought back, as I don't remember the rewards being good, even by standards back in the day, but the event had charm.
I'm not even sure if the event would work nowadays, as I'm sure back in the day it probably used some prototype of the style tab, and it'd probably conflict with that nowadays, but I remember this event whenever I think of holiday-themed Mabi events.
I started playing during October/November 2010, so I was in time for the Xmas or Winter events involving the Physis Ski event.
The events I loved more than anything were the aniversary and April Fools events because of how funny they were.
The summer Beach parties were awesome too.
When it comes to seasonal events in mabinogi, I liked doki doki for valentines because that place was just super pretty overall and had lots of things to do and was very fitting for the holiday. I liked when the beach got covered in ghost ships for samhain but that was purely aesthetic. the belisha mansion was pretty neat too, but there wasn't that much to it, and no one liked waiting in that room at the end. NO ONE!
Rewards-wise one of my favorites was christmas math because you could slap around the humbuggers for gold and get some pretty nice homestead items. I also liked the halloween event with the farmer and pumpkin boxes because he gave really good stuff even though I never got the drawstring pouch.
Story-wise, Samhain is the best, Still hoping for a sequel/continuation
I feel that there's more activity for autumn events because they require one to be active, such as Belisha events.
Summer events are less challenging in my opinion, maybe because most people get burned out by heat waves.
For the few winter ones I've done, skiing events and snowman fight were pretty fun.
You mean, like Life Skills update and updates to issues we've still had forever and an age ago?
I really want to see Christmas Math again though too because I never participated in it before so I'm curious about it.
