I'm not one to really express my disappointment, but i've felt the need to at least air out one major complaint i have. I am an older player and have felt that the direction of slowly going toward solo play has been all but confirmed with these details. I want to hang out with friends and run dungeons, but they have slowly encouraged not to do that exact thing over the last decade. sure, glenns exist and the upcoming bri dungeon will exist. sure the rewards of these leprechauns are freakin fantastic, but it will be a lonely endeavor to farm these items. i would like to see a redirect in the future in encouraging people to actually run together once more.

    I feel you, but it's been going on for a long long time now. The negative sentiment is shared in other regions where "solo play" has become the defining direction both Director Min, and Director Choi have been laser focused on. The Nexon live team also stated in their interviews for maplestory that "party play" is dead in their eyes. But it shows a very big lack of awareness of what is actually happening in their games. I think that lack of awareness of their own userbase is one of the biggest failures of the Nexon live team, and their rotation of inexperienced directors who have a very radical, ignorant, and mismanaged view of their playerbase and games.

    Mabinogi is at its core a social game, they want to make eternity a "social game", but they keep stripping away the social aspect from the game in events or content. If that doesn't show you or anyone else how oblivious they (the live team) are, or showing how lacking in self-awareness they are, then Idk what will.

    OtR only confirms this even more unfortunately, it's a shame what this game is becoming.. I can only hope Eternity will bring back party play but I'm not holding my breath :pensive:

    Hi Sherri, we do have the Malign Hellgate Event going on right now which requires a party of 4 to participate.
