what made Mabi fun for me was just the great people that it had all along
Well, at the end of the day, Mabinogi is a game. The social aspect is just a side effect of a multiplayer system. And people will play for different reasons, some you can call vain or narcissistic, but those are standards for a way of life and not a game. A "fantasy life" is supposed to be what you DON'T get in real life. The fancy fashion, the awesome weaponry, and the unique experience are all things that this game offers. So if you're looking for happiness, ask yourself why you play. There doesn't have to be an answer but it's good just to have that thought in mind. I, personally, am aiming for the Soluna Blade which is notoriously impossible to craft. But I'll grind into the sunset and I'll help others and get help as I go along. I don't expect to fix people; that's not how it works. At the end of the day, I play a game to get what I want to get out of it and I don't let other people stop me. I don't run into that many bad apples in Mabi, but sometimes an extra sugar coating cxan go a long way. And sometimes, you have to candy those apples yourself.
Mabi is what you make of it. People are what you see of them. And life is what you live of it. So make mistakes, see different people, and live on. That's all anyone can ask of another.
