When Mafia was introduced, it was common to see full parties playing it, and replaying it. Now you can barely find anyone who bothers to play it. As for Fiesta, I missed the introduction, but every time I go there, I maybe see someone sitting at the landmark. These seem like they'd be good social features, but nobody uses them anymore. I'm from the Alexina server, so I don't know how the other three are. Any ideas why people completely disregarded these features?

And Mafia gets boring really quick, so a lot of people probably burnt out on it.
idk why people insist on calling it Fiesta just because it sound more natural to them
Not only that but there's only one game you can play alone minus like the fortune teller, which is another reason I think some people don't really go anymore.
I wanted to get the Festia prizes but I don't really feel like trying to find someone to play with me, especially since it is limited, asking people sometimes results in them having to say no because they already did it for the day.
In terms of Mafia, I know some people still play as like, events for guilds and stuff. Maybe see if there's a guild in your server who does events like that and would let you join in.
A lot of people never went in the first place.
If anything, I've managed to get *more* people to play once they realize how many non-RNG prizes are available for simply sticking it out.
Also, there's *two* games you can play alone, but one of them is really long. That's why you get people with enormous stacks of tickets. They do one round of crystal defender then just stash the rest.
I have no idea about Mafia, since I haven't tried it out yet. However, I do think that the Festia would be much livelier if more games had a single-player option, like real midway games.
About Festia, well... That thing is sort of annoying to me. You can try to invite friends to play with you. I pretty much find Festia boring already so i just spam Clobbermeister now and try to get Wiggling Fox Ears and Wig (F). This is only thing i want from Festia now. Yesterday i got Wiggling Fox Ears and Wig (M)... Freaking (M)! I want to trade it for (F) one, but people just laughed at me saying "yeah, i will trade 100m for 20m!"... Why? Just because a single player demanded this high from that wig it doesn't mean that it is 100m from now on. It's free market... -_- I really feel like starting to hate this game's market now...
I agree about that part, but i also disagree too. Town Of Salem has A LOT of players who cheat (revealing their roles to friends in chats such like Skype and etc.), gamethrow (do anything to make your team to lose on purpose), troll (just because they think it's fun) or even leave the game on the very first day (they don't like the role they got or they "have to go" all of sudden). Some idiots even decide that it's a good idea to afk too... lol.
In that case, Mabinogi Mafia looks more pure, but obviously developers didn't pour enough work on it. They just went with "Oh these games are quite popular lately, let's just slap in our version of Mafia fast, we don't need to put a lot of thought in it anyway". The most annoying part for me is that everyone needs to execute someone everyday unless you want to wait like 15 minutes for a night to finally appear. But i actually like the Prankster idea in that mini-game, because you can mess around with other players outfits.
You do realize Town of Salem based it on a real party game, right? One that is referred to as "Werewolf" and "Mafia" and has links to at least the 80s.
If anything, Mabinogi is more like the original version in digital form, which if you ask me, is enough.
No point in devising a minigame with as much depth versus a game that revolves around said concept.
Festia is REALLY DEAD. I don't find a single player in there and i'm in Alexina. Sometimes i can find few players who spam Clobbermeister/Crystal Defender for few times and leave soon after it. If i would wait for someone to join into Martial Darts or Hammer Slam it would probably take me few hours or even days to finally bump into someone who will join too. People now just invite their friends over to play it because that place is empty.
i am not from that server o.O , there is quite a few parties doing daily runs on festia in mari, obviously they are not there all day, there is more stuff to do than festia...
that is the idea genious lol.
I do know that, but that doesn't change the fact that in comparison, it feels like absolute lackluster to me. Difference in opinion. There was also that bug (or still is, haven't played the mafia game lately as I said) where it permanently resets your ingame status message and you have to manually set it again. That bothered me too. Good thing if they fixed that, though I don't care to test.
Town of Salem built on the concept, Mafia here more or less stuck to a more basic formula that befits what should be a simple mini-game in all honesty, and is probably much more accurate to the original concept than the clustercrap Town of Salem has become with 40+ roles.
It is just a pet peeve of mine, to essentially say one thing is a copy of another when Salem hasn't even originated the concept which is pretty recent on a time scale, but it depends on how much one gets out, really.
I am sorry if I got mad.
I know at least in Tarlach, I did see quite a few people there in the beginning for a little bit. Now I'm not sure how many people go since I myself don't.
I wasn't aware there's two solo games though, can't honestly remember which one it was I was doing. I'll have to try checking the other one out.
Yeah, the other one puts you up against repeating waves of monsters of increasing size. It's like that one FSN event where you have to protect a crystal in the missle. This time without crazy AOE superpowers. (Well, at least ones that aren't available to players.) Also... no pets! You get bags of money depending on how well you do. It's not horribly difficult to get a good payout, but it's LONG.
