Alright folks, get ready for another MMO. Except this one is on a whole NEW level. The name of this MMO is Mabinogi, and it was brought to you by the people who made Maple Story. Now this isn't a flash game like Maple. This one's fully rendered 3D! Look at these videos to see what I'm talking about.

Trailer

And for you Pirate lovers...(This is NOT fake! You can actually do this in the game!)

Final Fantasy in Mabinogi(ALSO NOT FAKE!)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vvyFO3VmVq0&feature=related

So there, three videos. One showing a trailer, one of the gameplay, the third is just freaking awesome, and last one is for Darthy.

Alright so let me lay down the details on this game. Mabinogi is a Fantasy Life simulator. You don't just go around and kill stuff to level, you actually do other stuff like farming, doing jobs, and going to school! Yes, you can go to school in this game(to learn magic, but you have to pay for the class).

Mabinogi is also not job based. Basically you're just some random guy who comes along and is sent into the world of Erinn. There is no war(for the most part), you're just solving the problems in the beginning village and making yourself comfortable in life. There are dungeons, do not be mistaken. BUT, they work differently this time around as well. When you first enter a dungeon, you'll run up to an altar. You MUST drop an item into the altar in order to 'create' the dungeon. Depending what item you put in will depend on the dungeon's difficulty. Also, you won't run into anyone unless they dropped the same item as you. That means if you're in a party, you have to make sure you and everyone are putting in the same item.

Combat system is also different this time around as well. I can't explain it well, but the fighting system is action based and strategic. You'll have to watch the tutorial videos to see how it goes. Yes, there are tutorial videos to help new players, and they are entertaining too(think Red vs. Blue except only two characters.)

They are Lorna and Pan. This small miniseries is the tutorial for Mabinogi. And the whole thing is mostly explained in atleast 8 episodes. (Note: Lorna is voice by Tron Bonne, it seems)

I'm gonna let those two explain everything. Most of everything. I have played the game and I have to say it's pretty fun. The jobs get to me since I need money to buy food(it's essential to keep you working and in fights, more important than health
). I'd give this game a.... 9.5 out of 10.

It's a free MMO, no payment, and you get to play famous songs like He's A Pirate or even the Mortal Kombat theme! I suggest downloading this game. It really is fun.

Okay, me and DJ have encountered a little problem. If you and another person you know are playing this game, and are on a different server, you can't meet eachother. If you want to play with eachother, you'll have to go to the same server your friend is in. BUT! That means you make have to delete your current character or make a secondary one, which means you'll have to buy a character card(which I am unsure how much it costs.)

I'm currently playing in the Mari server under the name Doda. DJ is on the Rauri server, and I don't know what his character's name is. We could set up a specific server for us, personally, since I don't want to delete my character, I'll go with Mari. And I'm sure DJ doesn't want to leave his server either. Tough decision....

Ok... So I've finally decided to try this out, and know what the first thing I noticed after downloading it was? IP's outside of the US is blocked, I think you forgot to mention that.

But whatever, I searched around and found a way to play anyways (hotspot shield ftw), although I run the risk of being banned for doing so, who cares. So which servers did you guys play on anyways? I dont feel like wasting time on a character thats on the wrong server.

Ok, I sort of got into it after a long break due to RO, and since I needed something new to play (Been in a gaming slump), I decided to look into this. It is very interesting to say the least.

I'm on the Ruairi server with Kalos, usually in Channel 2 if you want to look for me. I don't think it's that hard since I'm the only one that has a name referencing falcons (Falcondae)... XD

Found something for Mac users.

If you have a Mac, try running Mabinogi via BootCamp


Looked at the FAQ in the site. Seems like you can play Mabinogi, for those who use Mac. And this is what I mean by BootCamp:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_(software)

So there you go, you Mac users. :)

Well, we can't have our own since it's impossible to have a private server unless someone can emulate it, but right now, there are two servers that the people are on: Ruairi and Mari.

As for those outside the Korea and the US, just need to be patient to when they will be bringing it outside these areas. The few that are in here will most likely be leveling up and such in case there are those who need help leveling up.
