    That's what happens when a giant equips a crossbow. See? There was a good reason for Nexon to exclude giants from archery. If you capture it you will duplicate the item in your inventory's sixth slot.

    That's Ancient Mabinogi hieroglyphics, it speaks of the prophecy of the deity called Lag.

    Total guess: normally the game loads and processes resources for the particular conditions on the local computer so fast that it appears to be seamless. If an untimely bit of lag comes along it can slow the process so that you can see intermediate conditions not meant to be seen, but not otherwise worth the trouble to hide.

    It's called a texture page/atlas. A common way to pre-load textures is to draw them once, so they are put into video memory and doesn't cause a hiccup when it's needed later.

    You didn't catch it in your screenshot, but the bottom of the character list on the right sign of the screen, if you look during the loading lag you can briefly see a "Referral" button there.

    It's not related to the current event, it's been there for a long time, but here in NA Mabi we don't have an ordinary Referral system, which is why it's basically dummied out and only visible for a second before the game's like "Oh, wait, this isn't a region of Mabi that has that."

    I've seen this a few times while the character screen was loading, sometimes some of those icons are bigger.

    Its official, this game has became so boring that lag is far more interesting than what's going on in current mabinogi. How will Nexon capitalize on this?
