Forgotten? Name/Server change is in KR
Comments
I left behind a 6k, and two 8k total characters on rua just to start over on alexina. I don't regret it at all, rua is rather dead. And yes, I did lose my 6k to the Black robe event. There was a lot of sketchy things on rua server, and most recently the whole soluna blade debacle. Those things aside, it was nice being on a server where dragon raids get done frequently.
Exactly, I am only referring NA and US since KR will be older.
No.
but seriously, what's the big deal on NA's Mabinogi with the Character Name Change feature?
seriously, its already been implemented on overseas, i don't see why you wouldn't add it here, a lot of people including myself would pay for it
as for arguments like "is too complicated" .. "the friend list" .. "homestead.." .. "ign's only items" .. "easy exit for scammers".. (NO... there's something called CHARACTER ID / ACCOUNT ID which are trackable)... please.. don't! in terms of programming, its literally the SIMPLIEST feature to implement...
you can vote on this poll if you care about only the name change feature for now...

Hey when did Vindictus merge? I haven't played in a few years. >_>;;;
They got it 2 months ago, they server merged with eu. They merged west and east and all NA servers into one. Eu has it's own server still though- so you have the option of NA or EU servers.
Nexon NA is very capable of merging servers, so it can't be a definite no. My name was taken though so I had to rename my char but it ended up pretty nicely in the end.
Clashing names got changed to "Server_Name", like in our instance a clashing name would appear as Ru_YellowBin, name being YellowBin and Ru as in Ruairi server. but you're forced to rename after that, I think it was either the more active one or the one created first that gets to keep their name.
Off-topic, I hate the vindi merge. I haven't played ever since I noticed how bad it was. Merging servers of the same edition of the game is one thing, but when my beloved jumping, auto-running and hp bars were taken from me when I was switched away from EU the game just became impossible to enjoy. I know it sounds like a little, but holy crap that was a devastating loss.
However, for about two years now... I’d say that a full server merge for Mabinogi is a much better option for us and it is waaaaaaay overdue...

Ohhhh dear, Diablerie probably got nabbed then. Damn.
I'm actually one of those that spend way more time ingame than on here. Perhaps you're paranoid because I seem to bump into you in literally almost every thread, but that is definitely not the case. I've been online almost every single day, even christmas and new year's, during all the almost 6 years I must have been playing by now. I've seen more people seasonally or entirely leave than you can probably imagine and it'd be great if you could not jump for baseless accusations.
It's true, I don't speak for the entire population for sure, but the same goes for every person from a different server who doesn't even know what has been happening to the server and simply assumes those figures are true because of how Alexina was advertised as a "new" server for a long time and as a result, there has been this myth that we're somehow 20x as active as every other server. I wouldn't want people screaming to leave Alexina alone again when a merge happens just because of that, as has been suggested before. If we're going megaserver, I want an actual megaserver with Alexina included. It's definitely not super active, it is pretty much on life support compared to how it was several years ago. So, do I think it's time for a merge? Yes. Even for us. That's why I am a bit peeved at this common argument of Alexina being unbelievably alive.
Overpopulation, lag, things lost in the merge, people still saying its empty out of wanting the game dead, people screaming about the merge meaning the end of the game, and above all else, the sheer chaos of 4 entirely different communities and economies colliding, causing the biggest market crash one could imagine.
And no matter what positives name changes would bring, it would still be overall a bad idea here.
With all the alts, trolls, and other unsavory people around, the last thing you want is for them to not only have multiple/easy to make accounts, but the ability to name change on a whim if they have money for it. All they need after is a new outfit and some appearance changes, and you wouldn't tell them apart from anyone else.
Its rather handy to keep track of such people.
TL;DR
If a merge happens, it happens.
No amount of argument will change that, or bring us closer or farther from such.
Maybe one day we can go a month without a merge topic.
Or the revival of one.
Don't you think you're being a biiiit sensationalistic.
Yikes!
Server Transfer: I rather move some of my pets to a different server.
I prefer the ability to move into any server at will with my main character if possible.
well there is really no reason why Nexon KR can't release name change passes for characters and pets. are you saying you would prefer the ability to log in to any server with once character as easily as we can log out and back in or change channels? although something like that may be a cool idea it might not be possible for something as old as mabi. I imagine it would work something like have all characters stored on one server that would send your character data and inventory to the server you select and there be one bank system connected to all 4 servers instead of 4 separate ones. but that is just a guess, I am probably completely wrong. however even if something close to that could be put in mabi it might mean taking longer to log in and would likely be very expensive to add to the game.
