    The whole story can be found at the above link.

    Some interesting tidbits include that Mabinogi Heroes has been renamed as Vindictus and is set to launch this fall, while Dragon's Nest is coming early next year.

    Interesting. I wonder why they went with the name change? Dragon's Nest would come out next year, I wish we got it this year =/ Good find though

    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.

    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

    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.

    I like the name Vindictus. Mabinogi Heroes sounds even more kiddish than Mabinogi.

    That's true. Heroes just makes it sound like some new show to compete with pokemon or yu-gi-oh or what ever the hell is popular nowadays, haha.

    Nexon has a alot of little kids playing their games.
    If you think they won't join the game just because of a name change you are sadly mistaken. I'm pretty sure the game will have ppl of all ages in it.

    Mabinogi Heroes sounds like a game for 10 year olds for the DS.

    Though don't discount all the little tweens who will be playing Vindictus cause there will be tons.

    She knows how to party.
