    In what areas did the Community Team excel at engaging with you in the Mabinogi community platforms?

    Excel? Nothing. The best I can offer is that a while back, in discussion with site staff over a dispute, a previous CM was, at the very least kind enough to make the effort to pretend to care.

    * * *

    In what areas could the Community Team improve their engagement efforts in the Mabinogi community platforms?

    I don't think they can. This is mostly not their fault, as they are constantly being hamstrung by the legal department.

    * * *

    Do you have any ideas for community contests that you'd like to see in 2022?

    I'd like to see more in-game contests, such as PvP competitions, Pet PvP competitions, contests based on the in-game mini-games, and so on.

    * * *

    Do you have any ideas for community contest prizes that you'd like to see in 2022?

    Instead of declaring prizes, ahead of time, why not let the winners choose what they want; to paraphrase Tevye, "Lord, would it hurt to give me a Tethra?" What is or can be chosen can be the basis of lively discussion on the various platforms.

    * * *

    Do you have any ideas for community livestreams that you'd like to see in 2022?

    "Ask a developer" like at the Campfire event.

    Forums activity for the last while has been quite low. This may be due, in a large part, to all the other alternatives and, of course, the game being old enough to vote, drive, get married, and serve in the armed forces. The Mabinogi Subreddit and the Steam Forums, for sure, Nexon has no direct control over; I don't know enough about Dischord to say. On these forums, Nexon has absolute control of the messaging; that's useful to them. So, what do they cost them? As far as I know, Katherz is the only salaried employee with the rest of the team being volunteer. If I'm not mistaken, Katherz is part of the tech-support team, so Nexon is already getting utility for their money. I assume these forums are hosted on Nexon hardware, making such hardware a sunken cost. The forums, themselves, are almost entirely text, which, these days, hardly costs anything to store. So the day-to-day operating cost of the forum is likely quite low.

    Yeah well, I've just noticed a pattern of gaming companies shutting down their forums in favor of discord or reddit (because I guess that helps saves bandwidth and resources or whatever other stupid FALSE notions). The problem with that is that information can't be archived and is not static. Things in discord are also very hard to search for because of the massive amount of information being rolled off the screen. Here things can.

    Also, I freaking hate reddit. I hate the people on there so bad.

    Please don't shut down the forums.
