I think Discord, Reddit, and other places like them play a small part in why not as many players use the forums anymore. But it is kind of sad how dead the forums are these days. There are just so many other sites you can access easier with your phone or a mobile device. For a while I was having some major issues logging into the Mabinogi forums which greatly decreased my activity here for a bit. It appears some player either were or still are having similar issues which could explain some of the activity here decreasing.

My guess is forums like these are becoming outdated when there are more convenient ways to discuss things about the game with other players. I am probably one of the few that actually doesn't use Discord that much mostly cause I am old fashioned. Forums work just fine and I don't see any reason to stop using them until they 100% die. Things change, back in my day in the 90's the only mobile computers we had were a gameboy and everyone used forums when going online. Now everything is mobile and we have 5 year old kids using cell phones that are basically mini computers. Checking the Mabinogi forums on my phone is a lot more work than just checking Discord or Reddit from my phone. Things are changing and now I feel ancient, technology really has improved dramatically over the past 30 or so years.

Does anybody know what we will be able to buy with season ducats other than mounts? Will we only be able to buy the stuff that's already in the imp's shop by transferring seasonal ducats to regular ones or will there be new additions?

It looks like season ducats can only be used to buy the new commerce mounts or you can exchange season ducats for regular ducats once a day. This image is all the info I found on it:


Here is some more info about the update I planned to post anyway since it was found on the same post as the image above:

I didn't get into Commerce when it was in Uladh. Is it worth getting into Commerce for Iria? Are they considered separate or will I be excruciatingly behind anyway when the update comes out? Trying to see if it would be worth the effort

Iria Commerce will be connected to Uladh Commerce. You will be able transport trading goods overseas using Port Qilla or Port Connous or Port Sella (Port Connous and Port Sella will be the new ones). So yes, Iria Commerce will be different and in it's own separate area from Uladh but you can still sell your trading goods in Uladh if you want to. Airship trading will be a completely new feature and it will be in Iria only.

Commerce is a little bit of effort when your first getting into it but if you are thinking about starting Commerce you should probably start in Uladh first. It gets much easier once you obtain the horse wagon mount mostly cause it is much faster than your character running everywhere. Whether or not it is worth the effort depends on what you want out of Mabi. Take a look at the Ducats shop and see if there is anything you want to work towards. There are also a few monster transformations that can only be obtained through Commerce or Bounty Hunting. I suggest trying it out for a few days and if you like it stick with it and if not no big deal, Commerce isn't for everyone.

Personally I hope they bring the Naco Commerce Event back shortly after this update as it is a good way to help introduce new players to the Commerce System and makes it a lot more fun.

New Uladh Commerce Tents:
So the Commerce Tents in Uladh look like the Commerce Tent in Qilla. As you can see in the pic below this tent is in Emain and has Trade Imps in front of it instead of humans:


More Images of Port Connous and Port Sella:




All of this and more can be seen in this video from 1:09:33 to 1:11:44


Another Interesting Iria Commerce Video:
(To bad I don't speak Korean. It would be interesting to know what they are saying.)
