Maintenance times do not count as missed time as the game clock doesn't stop even when offline.

January 30th 2008 2:00pm - 10 hours = 17 in game days
Jan 31st 12:00 am to Dec 31st = 13400 in game days remaining in 2008 (Counted Leap year)
Jan 1st 12:00am 2009 to Dec 31st 2016 11:59pm = 116880 days (counted leap years)
Sept 18th 12:00am is the 261st day of the year = 10440
Total: 140737 days = 502.63 years.

According to this shoddy time calculation I made, we missed the 500th year in game on August 31st.
This time was based on the beta launch on January 30th 2008, when the servers were booted up at 2:00pm PST.

Hoooowever, if we're going by the "Official release date" the "Official" -fingerquotes- 500th Year of in game time should be on October 20th next month.

Simple suggestion that no one should feel too badly about.

This suggestion basically puts a level restriction on large cheques being held in one's inventory or being withdrawn from a bank.

Why do this?
A ) Regulates dummy character's inventories being used as psuedo personal banks
B ) Regulates gold farming
C ) Player safety (Dummy accounts usually have low quality security)

To make it so people won't depend on dummy accounts for storing gold:

A ) Increase the character bank gold cap from 5mil per character to 20mil or more
B ) Increase housing purchase caps
C ) Update player shop permits.

A few simple things to point out; sure someone can own 30mil gold from selling stuff off or earning it, but some people have literally hundreds of millions of gold spread across a multitude of characters. This is more common for gold farmers to avoid as there is a bank cap of 5mil gold per character, but you can hold up to 75 million gold per inventory, totaling up to 80million gold per character in both cheques and bank funds.

Disallowing gold farmers to stack cheques in their inventory based on limitations should theoretically put a hole in their endeavors. By adding more effort based limitations to things such as this you make gold-farming discouraging, and promote a better in game economy.

Let's get real here folks... No one's going to have 5 to 20 computers designated to running mabinogi. That's just stupid, it's sad, it's stupid, and anyone who goes and does that is just desperate. I would imagine any of these people would suffer extreme flak from their families, or large electricity bills.

Multi-boxing is only available through modding, and apparently someone is abusing mods to set up a botting market specifically designed for gold farming. You can deny it sure, turn your nose at it, or even flat out say something opposite to cover your own butts. However this is more than obvious, and it is what it is.

The truth is that these people are greedy, toxic people who want to reach the top first, and become that specialist snowflake with all the squire gear, and 400 characters loaded with 5mil cheques. But the thing is, is that these people are breaking the rules, and all it would take is for Nexon to find each of their accounts and systematically ban them all. Aside from that, people often forget that some people actually have gotten hacked for being too greedy by non other than the people who make these mods.

It's all money money money to these people, they don't care who they have to lie to, or who they have to toss under the bus to cover their butts, they'll do it. They'll make discord channels and talk amongst themselves and plot against those who attempt to "deter" their little organized gold farming too.

It's sick, it's a toxic way to play a game, and I wish Nexon did something about it.

Botting on the forums, botting in game, people are botting daily part time jobs for adventurer seals, people are botting via gold-farming by selling an infinite amount of reforges, people are botting Balthane Squires, and people are botting on obscure channels in HM dungeons for materials.

Enough is enough, please address this issue and put a stop to this plague.
