Mabinogi

NO

Okay. So... Considering I've played this game ever since it's release back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth (I only very recently started using the Steam version so my hours do not reflect even 1% of my playtime) I probably owe this game a Positive Review here. This is my forever MMO. It is very unique, and nothing else is quite like it. So I am bias. That said: It really shows it's age in a lot of bad ways. Ancient systems that are still in the game like the Intermediate Magic pages still being in the game layer underneath newer ones that do the exact same thing can confuse matters, and needing to set up macros just to use the F-keys because those are NOT unbindable from some features REALLY shows off it's archaic systems of old that modern games have rightfully dropped forever ago. The "feel" of the game's early days, the same feel that made so many fall in love with the game, is unfortunately mostly absent due to their attempts to rework and fast track what once was the early & mid game. I'm sure you'll find plenty of veterans that really miss and lament this and can point to specific updates like New Rise, but I won't bother being that detailed here. Because, I think there is still much to like. That old feel and unique sense that Mabinogi gives, while dulled, is STILL here in a diminished fashion. It simply cannot be scrubbed out of it's DNA, and shows in the designs of the NPC, the music, and yes those old systems that made Mabinogi a true 'Fantasy life'. The late game that they want to rush you towards has it's own problems, but I still find fun enough to keep coming back. I like the stories, especially the later generations, and the gradual accumulation of power via literally living multiple lives is still cool to me. These existed back then too. I remember when being a Master in anything with like 30+ rebirths made you extremely strong. Now, it's much simpler, but STILL fun. Also... We are approaching a point of no return for this MMO. The Eternity Project, something we're now confirmed will be next year. After that happens, this incredibly old MMO with it's super weird and old engine will be gone forever. So in a way... It's your last chance to get in before everything changes forever. You're last chance to see what it was like for the first 20 years of it's long and storied lifespan. So yeah. I love this game, warts and all. It'll always have a place in my heart. Through all the complaints and cries, it comes from a community that cares and logs in anyway. You should join us. Get in before Eternity hits, and you can be part of this crazy ride we're all about to go on.

Das ist das beste Spiel was ich seid langen gespielt habe! Es hat viele aktive Spieler die einem helfen und viele YouTube tutorials falls man nicht weiter kommt. Mabinigi ist ein tolles Spiel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not perfect. There are bugs, and some issues that have persisted over the years (support for non fullscreen players to be able to tone down the bloom, hello?). There's gacha greed and what looks like an increase of "motivations" to spend money on a free game. But this is home, and even if I take a break for a year, or three years, I always come home.

2000 hours later i keep coming back.

Honestly pretty good chill mmo. Pick a class and level it up and once you hit around level 50 you can rebirth and level up another class while keeping your first which makes for some cool builds. If your looking for a game where you can run dungeons and try out crafting, homesteading and the like then give it a shot. I've enjoyed my time with it and plan to keep playing.
