  • Why do you play Mabi?

    (my god what is this horrid name I have on here...)

    Hey there Mabinogi Forum people, I dunno how to introduce this haha

    lets just start with this I guess *ahem*

    I don't remember exactly when I started playing this game but honestly it's kind of heartbreaking to see it the way it is now, it feels like such a dead game for new players specifically. Every time I've been on the game as of late I have only seen like maybe one or two players in the starting areas. Its understandable that most of the playerbase at this point are way beyond the starting areas so I don't blame the game for that, I'm purely speaking from a new players point of view. I haven't played the game for long but when I did play it I actually enjoyed it very much. I don't know what exactly caused me to stop playing but I wish I could go back to when this game had a larger playerbase. I'm not sure if its just because I join the empty channels or I am in an empty server, I have no clue. Although, I would love to get back into this game as a new player since its been so long and I wasn't even that far into the game when I stopped. I want to share this game with my friends in an attempt to get them into an MMORPG that we could play as a group and enjoy. However, I feel like its difficult trying to introduce friends to this game as well as get myself into the game in its current state. I feel like a big part of this game is the whole interactive aspect, whats a big world without some human interaction? I don't doubt that the story line is amazing, its just at the beginning the game feels less like an MMORPG and more like an RPG. Of course, as I said before, I hadn't really played the game much before so I feel as though my opinion about the game is a lot less worthy than those who have put multiple years into the game.

    I also apologize if this message/reply is a bit overdone and has been said like a million times or anything like that, I don't mean to be repetitive I just mean to speak my mind. Another thing I'd like to mention, or at least bring up, is the fact that there are still a good number of servers considering the small population of players. I feel like it'd make the game feel a bit more populated if there were less servers, condensing the population as well as reduce the amount of pay the game devs needs to keep servers running for it (or something like that). Another thing that I think could help is maybe revamping the way it looks even if its just a little bit. The game is very archaic in its graphics as well as its gameplay. Honestly though, I don't dislike the combat one bit, I feel like its different than the usual "action based real time action" MMORPGs that are advertised nowadays with few exceptions. If they reduced the amount of servers I'm sure there would be some cash on the side to at least work on making this game better and more modern. I feel if this game got a nice clean revamp then it could be a big game, especially for being a free online game. It could be a nice refuge for players who love the old style MMOs, but hate the subscriptions that follow big titles such as WoW and FFXIV (just to name a few). I've seen old fashioned MMOs be revamped in the past such as Ragnarok Online as well as Runescape (even though I honestly dislike RS3 and much prefer its older counterparts). However, with Runescapes revamp I've seen more of my friends wanting to at least try out the game and get into it. For the most part that's all I think that Mabinogi really requires, just for new players to tip their toes into the water and try it out.

    In conclusion, I very much enjoy this game but would love to see its population return. Although as I've repeated numerous times, I am by no way an experienced player nor do I know anything about managing an online game and/or company. I'm just a newbie speaking their mind. The game has more than enough content within it, it just needs a little more humanity in it I guess haha. I doubt anything will come from this comment but I thought I'd at least put myself in the community instead of just sitting back and having my "criticisms" to myself.

    Anyways, thank you all for reading my comment and I hope to maybe see some of you in game LOL
    Have a good day,
