    I just had a quick look, at the link so maybe I missed something, but nothing repeats between the offerings and the far left one is called basic. Maybe it's like now with different tiers where the higher tiers offer what they offer PLUS what's in the tiers lower than them?

    I am relieved, although it doesn't say specifically, that they appear to NOT be free, like Inventory Plus became. The obvious concern there is that it would remove an income stream of the game but, for me, the biggest concern about suddenly making subscription services free is this:
    if the decision is made to shut down Mabinogi, Nexon would need all the subscription service to expire first or else it would be a situation of services paid for, in advance, but not rendered. So they would need to discontinue them first. Rather than no longer offering them, which could anger folks that might be enjoying other Nexon games or concern those folks only enjoying other Nexon games, it would be "smoother" to offer them for free. Then no services will be renewed, so they will expire, and then shut down is good to go.

    Nevermind i found a picture of the updated VIP there will be 4 options

    Basic service
    combat with basic premium
    Life skill with basic premium
    and triple service that gives Basic combat and life^^

    however i hope the friday passes will soon no longer have an expiration date or atleast a 7 day long timer

    It didn't, that I could see, I was just worried at the possibility for the reason I outlined.
