Personally I kinda feel like Nexon should advertise its games more, aka like Mabinogi. It would be cool to get a new wave of members to join. I've had a whole list of probably 60+ friends that have stopped playing all together it seems. And plus, if Nexon does advertise it a bunch, sorry I'm blind.

The demographic is different but niche interest to such things can be distributed and shared effectively with advertising but not many will appreciate what is being offered - especially an old game *ahem* a classic like Mabinogi.
I kid, we would just be going Evony at this point.
We need something like this NA version.
Also this AD was everywhere in yt for me.
I couldn't stop laughing and grinning at this video.
The Simon dance part killed me XD
I've tried spreading Mabi through word of mouth, but the game is just so horribly outdated that it leaves a bad first impression on newbies, especially when you create your character and all you have are these ugly free hair/eyes/colours.
I'm not sure if they changed it back recently, but I remember they took away the option to use premium features when you created your very first character and that was the biggest mistake they could've made when drawing in newbs. When your first introduction to a game is "pay us money so you can look less ugly" it's not very welcoming.
Out of the 50 or so people I've tried recommending Mabi to, only 4 actually tried it and out of those, only 2 liked it enough to stick with it. Some tried it back when you needed premium just to rebirth/use transformations/shops/the right half of your bank and refused to re-try.
The excuses I got were usually "It looks like a bad n64 game", "too p2w", "I already play x MMO/s" and "too grindy"
The last 2 are understandable. I play RuneScape and Mabi and I wouldn't want to start a new MMO right now due to how grindy both games are, but man... some people are just spoiled by graphics nowadays and it makes me sad that people will pass up a fun game just because it's not the latest hyper realistic 4k shooter.
I'm included in that player retention category as I had stopped playing for a while. I'm trying to get back into it, and was hoping a guild would help (after being a low-end solo player) only to get caught up in Nexon's broken guild stuff. Seeing a new wave of players joining in would be nice and all, but figuring out how to keep players is just as important.
So true I've tried to get ppl I know on, but they quit quite quickly. Most have quit on the character selection screen saying it looks like crap (lets face it the options are crap), and how good can a game be if they don't care about character selection options.
Basically, premium options were available back when we had the first free card, but when you clicked on them, they said "Premium only", implying that they were not available off the bat, only for someone to tell you later they were an option for free cards regardless of the notice if you ever found out.
Seriously, what kind of #@$! does this?
"Oh sorry you picked basic options, premiums were available, but we just did not tell you"
For #@$!ing sakes, do you not realize what the #@$!ing "Premium only" notice #@$!ing implied, you jerk? IT IMPLIED THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE! IT IS NOT ON US, BUT YOU, YOU #@$!!
The five free cards have their benefits, and at least this is more truthful than the previous free card, although less beneficial.
Sorry for the cursing, but I am livid that anyone in Nexon would be this moronic. It borders on a cruel maliciousness.
I agree, I wish they would go back and update the old hair styles. I don't know why they don't... =(
