is this the most soulful MMO ever made?
Is this the most soulful MMO ever made?
Fuck I was just thinking of this today.
As far as character progression goes this game has the best in my opinion. You want to punch things? Sure. Want to cast magic? You can do that too. Do both? Why the fuck not?
Unfortunately the game is hampered by fucking Nexon and it's shitty Cash shop tactics.
Surprising Nexon has been pretty laxed with that game like most of the old p2w stuff is either free or given out through events and there's always at least 1-2 events going. I mean you still have to deal with loot boxes and shitty upgrading mechanics but the same can be said for most mmo's these days.
I remember playing the beta of this and the very first time I went to the blacksmith and saw how it worked I immediately thought "yep that's going to cost money"
Nexon NA as a whole has been pretty anti pay to win. They realized a few years ago, probably with MS1 Rebbot server, that they make more money of cosmetics here than actual pay to win stuff.
Just look at recent stuff.
>MS1 reboot with no p2w
>Hyper Universe no p2w
>GitS no p2w
>MS2 one of the most fair non p2w MMOs ever to come out of korea
>Mabi being more lax
Sure their games populations wise are definitely not anywhere near where they used to but they're doing things good for the players.
I don't know if that's their plan for every game going forward or if it's just a lie to push their next big MMO scam but it's a nice change.
They realized people aren't playing mmo's like they used to and now have to get their shit together. Bring back that population from the early and mid 2000's and they'll go right back to the way they've always been.
It's a pretty neat game and I'm sad I missed out on it during its prime.
I've been looking for similar games that have more juice left in them but haven't had much luck.
I was looking at Villagers and Heroes but it's also a mobile game.
It really is one of a kind when it comes to the actual game. Which is a damn shame.
>"yep that's going to cost money"
And you were right but to be fair, blacksmith was also one of the worse skills to level and still is. Luckily though things are a lot easier now than they were back then.
I like how the skill and stat system works on paper, but some life skills are a pain to level yet you need that DEX from some of them to help out other combat styles.
At least getting INT isn't that painful until you're doing Musical Knowledge and traveling all over Iria for treasures.
At least it's unique.
>every skill you learn and level gives you stats bonuses
>no matter how useless a skill is in terms of use, it can still be useful to your main stats
Man shit like this is why I loved mabinogi, I'd hate to see a game like this go.
It is pretty good, it's just very grindy in some parts and you have to watch your CP also
Why wasn't Alexina included in the merge?
Hillwen engineering and magic craft are the worst offenders of this shit. They're painfully slow to level.
That would be Flyff.

>mfw my level 25 mage girl outpowered higher level mages in stats and damage
>mfw a 30something level mage dueled me using the basic magic blast because no resistances and I rock crashed his face in by 2nd spell and the next three of the combo just made his body shake
I even had higher MP somehow and it was retarded
>tfw can't make fun of other servers for being dead anymore
Its not fair.
I remember wanting to max Carpentry so I could make the strongest Lute and wanting to kill myself.

CA before dirty bomb was anti pay to win too if you leave cases aside, everything was given for free till devs were moved to dirty bomb and NX EU got in charge of the game.
>new update added a fucking concert hall where you can watch, preform, and even sell tickets to
>also added drums to the sizable number of instruments you can play
Don't think many mmo's can be this much soul.
The freedom with skill development made it feel like anime Ultima Online. It was great.
Many good times were had.
Fantastic Melody OST is damn good. I'm impressed they even let us use them in game.

>Cichol is a manlet
>GitS no p2w
Yeah and one of the worst f2p shooter grinds I have ever seen.
Yea but does it have a cape slot yet? Fucking capes and newbie adventurer go hand and hand.
Too busy making endless amounts of wings.
No, Everquest is.
Best music, but sadly cash shop literally sells power and progress to players.
It's literally a 3D ripoff of the actual most soulful game ever made. It's kinda depressing how many people don't know mabinogi's roots.
I never got into the game, I just want to go back to the magical timeline of 2004-2007 runescape.
Don't we all
