So I was thinking of saying this so far:
Lately, I have been seeing many fellow mabi players bring up the concept of a server merge due to current population in Ruairi, Mari, Alexina, and Tarlach. Many wish for a combination of all the servers so there are more players to do dungeon runs and shadow missions, so on and so forth. On the other hand, many wish not to see such a change made due to the current lag and other faulty parts that the game has. Many wish for the lag to be adjusted before a merge can be even talked about since combining everyone together at Mabi's current state will just be lag city. Thus, making it hard for many people to properly play.
However, Mabi is getting pretty old and such merge is unlikely. It's more than just a simple button being pressed. There is a lot of factors to consider and the pros/cons of doing such a game-wide merge.
On the flip side, it does seem like a plausible goal to have a cross-server town and dungeon.
Based on discussion in the Unofficial Official Mabinogi Discord, these are what some players suggested if a cross-server town and dungeon was implemented:
Summary of trading/market:
- At first markets may be a bit unbalanced, but players will figure out how to balance the system and adjust prices and such.
-When items are traded, they are then bound to the person it's traded with. This can allow Nexon(or whoever has administrative rights to release/create new content). In that case, unlock an item for server trading(This could be a NX-based item. Could be named something along the lines of "[Insert name for Cross-Server here] Trade unlock item".
-
Once a item is traded, ** it's bound**. Trade at your own discretion.
-Shops/kiosks can be placed here. Could be a special license created for cross-server.
Summary of town/dungeon:
-Area similar to housing in a sense or to Tir Chonail/Dunbarton.
-Dungeon can be like a castle dungeon that people can farm for mats and such. Fun events can be released for a smooth transition to new dungeon. Possibly a storyline of a NPC that we always pass by and haven't talked to since our beginner player years?The possibilities are endless.
Any other thoughts,comments,suggestions? Open to any. I feel like this could really work out and be a legitimate thing if people can consider that the original idea was a good step, but it would be difficult. Whereas this cross-server town and dungeon(we could have more than one town or dungeon?Who knows) definitely falls into the realm of possibility.
Lol, ;-; I rarely make forum posts so hopefully this can be received well. So yeah, hi.
