    I guess they wanted the game to sound more "actiony"? Even though they're compeltely different games, doesn't the Mabinogi Heroes still have references to Mabi?

    They might be worried of those who might compare the two and conclude that the second is crappier than the first - might be a smart move to advertise as a different game instead.

    The new name sounds more mature, Mabinogi Heroes ain't really meant for the kiddies in the first place. Trying to keep the younger crowd in Mabinogi I guess.

    Haha, Smorticus is a ridiculous name.
    I'm happy this game is meant for the more mature demographic. I'm tired of partying up with people who aren't even out of middle school yet.

    Just because it's marketed towards an older audience doesn't mean that an immature community can't gather. Nexon is a huge company with players of various age groups.

    I'm sure they'll gather as they always do, but I can still keep my hopes up and hope the marketing scheme draws in more older players. I don't mind if they have various age groups, I just hope the majority are semi-mature players.

    Oh yea that is true. I've read so many times on the Nexon forums about people complaining saying that Mabinogi Heroes sucks because it's nothing like Mabinogi-orly? Hopefully people will stop comparing the graphics as well because it's not "kawaiidesuanimu^_^" like Mabinogi
