    If Gaia Online can remain online for over 15 years then so can this game.

    @Gaea

    Jeez, there's a whole MMO based around you, and it remained up for over 15 years?!

    How the fu-....?! It sounds like the worst thing since unsliced bread!

    To Op: Your friend probably saw the words "finale" and over reacted but did not do any research.

    ah no like i said before, she didn't even know g21 was coming out until i told her (the same day she told me the game was closing down) and she also said that she saw the announcement sometime last year, so that's not why. she's just mean and does stuff like this once in a while to make me panic.

    I doubt mabi will shut down any time soon. They make money, probably dont spend too much on it.
    Only reason I can see it closing is if they just do countless things to lose the loyalty of their playerbase, or people stop spending money on it.

    Or of course if a perfect alternative to mabi comes out. (Even then some people will refuse to quit. )

    I also wouldn' t dwell so much as to be so worried about it closing, as the truth is someday it is probably going to close at some point (Or reach a point to where it's only a shadow of a shadow of what it once was. Making it so its not fun to play anymore. Like another game I play.) . However the memories you've made with friends will continue to live on. (Queue the rainbows.)

    After this, they may start a new Arc. Don't forget about Laighlinne, it definitely wasn't done yet. If anything they may pick up on that and I kind of hope so, I do love pirates!

    It's still online.

    Funny story, when I signed up for Mabinogi during open beta, I tried making my user name Gaia. But it was already taken, so I had to go with the greek version. =P

    I will be sad once this game finally bites the dust. I'll probably organize one last get together and buy everyone booze from the bar.

    Mabinogi already has more arcs planned, apparently, so don't worry. But I too wouldn't mind seeing some sort of closure on the Laighlinne story.

    At that time, everyone will be drowning their sorrows with strawberry brandy.

    The only thing that would end it would be an unforseen collapse to Nexon or drastic changes to Nexon.

    I imagine your friend saw the news that Mabinogi Heroes was closing down, and mistook it for Mabinogi shutting down. Mabinogi Heroes (Known as Vindictus in NA) is definitely closing it's doors in Japan, but Mabinogi itself is still thriving in Korea.
