Real-world In-game Advertising.
Would you like real-world companies to be able to advertise, within the Mabinogi game world, allowing potentially a huge revenue stream for Nexon if it would mean that some, or all, stuff that we have to pay for now becomes free? The details of how that advertising is presented to us I'll leave to the discussion below.

There are a number of ways they could advertise the game but I feel like it would more effective if the ad was something a hundred people walk by everyday or shown in a youtube video that gets a couple hundred thousand views. Still I think the lack of actual physical Mabinogi products is a problem. I would love to actually collect more Mabi Merch to support the game and make more people aware of the game by wearing Mabi Merch in irl locations. Plus what will we really have left if this wonderful game ever shuts down? Just some old screenshots and memories? That question actually got me more interested in finding more Mabinogi stuff to collect. I hope this game outlives me but if anything ever happens to it I would want actually remember it through more than just old screenshots sitting in a folder that you check once a year to remember the good old days.
While I agree that Nexon could do more to advertise the game, what I am talking about, with this thread, is for Nexon allowing other companies to pay them to place ads in Mabinogi. So, say, you're in a dungeon lobby and there's a billboard cycling graphics of "Coke, Taste the Magic", "Ford, Built for the Road Ahead", "G.E., Building a World that Works", and so on.
