    I didnt enjoy the game. But you just might!

    If you enjoy anime grahics and atmosphere in your mmorpg, but with alittle more meat on the bones to chew on, this should be something you try. The battle system requires you to remember a few basic rule of engagement, and then hone this knowledge into instincts. You do need to watch the enemy for their movements and any "signs" above the monster, but its not that awfully complicated. Also there seems to be a pretty much laid out update lineup that offers more for the game.

    For me, personally, I found the battle system rather dull. I got to around level 15 and did alot of dungeon crawling. I watched alot of the youtube videos and it still felt.. stale. But that is my personal opinion, and you should really try it before you make a judgement call.

    The movement also seemed sluggish. It might just be due to the version of the game, and the limitations as well from the CB, but it felt sluggish to me. I tend to ask for more responsive controls, and I feel i might have enjoyed the battle system itself otherwise. I did take what i played and compared it to some later versioned video and it didnt seem to change much.

    That and the graphics annoyed me. Some of you might say graphics dont matter, but I am talking more of the STYLE than the pixel count. I can appreciate the more serious anime style, of more standard humonoid proportions. I, for whatever its worth, just cannot enjoy nor appreciate the anime style presented in this particular mmorpg. It is the same reason I could not get into DOMO. But this is more of a style, rather than graphic quality itself.

    But from features alone, this game looks solid for those who enjoy the style within, and the method of gameplay itself. Screenshots nor youtube bad quality video cant give a game justice or truth. You should always try it for at least 10 hours of playing, even if its goofing off, to get the jest of it.

    But this game is no messiah. It is a game that has seemingly passed the longevity test in it's home country, and been finally ported to here. There are merits for that alone.


    I would say try it. If you have fun then stay and enjoy yourself. If you dont then dont play and find a mmorpg that is more to your liking. If everyone had the same tastes and there was one clear winner then only 1 mmorpg would exist. Remember, {take this only as a example okay?} while WoW might have 10 million players, there are more than 10 million playing mmorpgs elsewhere, many times fold. So.. I say check it out!

    Mabinogi does not follow the usual trend. Thats why it's special.

    yea it was fool.

    its a SECOND generation mmo.
    can you think of any first generation mmos that had wasd? i can.
    want like 4 examples?
    sure!

    everquest.
    asherons call.
    anarchy online.
    dark age of camelot even.

    oh look.

    4 games that predate mabinogi that has wasd movement.

    even meridian 59 which technically is one of THE first graphical mmos was wasd movement.

    and were talking back when internet hadnt been out all too long bucko.
    back in the days of 29 and 56 k modems (thats 2.9 kbs and 5.6 kbs download speed max.)

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    on a side note.

    the ai really isnt as "advanced" as everyone is saying.
    its rock paper scissors and depending on the mob they have one of three options to select from. either randomly or just will choose the next attack based on what the player has selected.

    honestly just looking at like 10-15 lines of code for the ai.
    thats it.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    the game is alright.

    collision system has alot to be desired for and combat seems to go by really slowly.

    maybe i havent been challenged yet but i havent fought anything too exciting that im on the edge of my seat for.

    Until you've actually tried to kill a bear for your first time you'll never be able to understand how exciting it is. And to your above texts, I have no idea where you pulled that from since fishing isn't implemented in CB. The text in town is more like.
    Person 1: Someone make a fire.
    (Fire is made, people gather around)
    Person 2: Who's got meat?
    Person 3: I do!
    Person 1: Share it!
    Person 3: K
    (Stamina bars are refilled for everyone)
    Person 4: Hey, i'm going to get some music playing. I found these songs online.
    Persons: Yay.
    (Person 4 begins playing some popular song)
    Person 2: Let me play a song.
    (Person 5 plays another song)
    Person 1: Hey, lets go to Ciar dungeon. Party on me.
    (Everyone joins his party and heads off)



    At least, thats how its been for me. The only noobish people I've really seen are those who play music near others or try to sell music they find online. But theres not a lot of them.

    And you call us slackers because we hate grinding.
    Grinding is repetitiveness for slow progression in a game. (not fun)
    In Mabinogi, you progress through your own user controlled actions and a lot of it is based on community and player skill. (fun)

    Mabinogi actually looks great if you have a good video card.

    I c, so you are ina way like me. You like those huge rare drops, how ever I hate the time consumption of them. Games built around super rare items and an economy is something you seem to enjoy. Perhpas War will be a game you enjoy for the skill building, how ever I do not know about their Itemization (I pray they will have super rare items). I play FFXI and I know what you mean, I love trying to get those items where you must fight for the spawn that doesn't come except once a day or even less. But as I said, if you don't like this game then you probably won't be able to stick with any f2p game, and from what you said I was right. (Note EQ and RO are both p2p =))
