Sorry for the long hiatus. Plus Mabinogi



   Hey guys sorry for not blogging for a while. I've been playing Mabinogi, a Nexon free-to-play. Yes, I know what your thinking, "A Nexon game? How can you play a Nexon game for so long? And why are you even playing a Nexon game after they closed down DFO for the NA servers? Why?!".

   Yes, Mabinogi has the same crappy Nexon service, and trust me, I'm about as pissed about the DFO closing as you guys are . But Mabinogi is the last decent Nexon game. And Here's why.

We were supposed to get these in Mabi Na....
Mabinogi is one of the most unique, and arguably the best, MMO out there. Now, I know what you're about to say, "There is no way Nexon could have the world's best MMO.". But its not the best MMO out there yet.....mostly because Nexon NA is too lazy to make it great...DevCat does all the work....NA just translates and leaves some things out. And by leaving some things out....I mean A LOT of things are left out...For example....We over at Mabinogi NA were supposed to get a FMA update, as well with character cards for Elric,Whittney, and everyone else. But did Nexon NA do that for us? NOPE! Nexon NA let us down (As usual)

But anyway...on to the good stuff!

As I said before, Mabi is one of the most unique MMO's out there. Why? Well it might seem weird to you, but for starters we get stronger by starting all over to lv 1. Confused yet? We start over at lv 1 using the rebirth system.

This is way more important than you think it is!
You know how in most MMO's as you lv up and get stronger, you need to go into harder dungeons and grind stronger monsters? In Mabinogi, when you gain lvs and each lv gets harder and harder to reach, you rebirth all the way to lv 1, making it easier to get to each lv and AP to rank up our skills. The best part about rebirthing is....you get to keep all your skills and their rank's, making skill training easier than other MMO's.

Now....Its time for combat!


Now, Mabinogi isn't your basic attack, attack, spam skill fest that you see in most MMO's. The combat is fast paced and requires you to use fast thinking strategy, which is sorta the main appeal to it. Not only that there are hundreds of skills to learn
NOTE: THERE ARE WAY MORE SKILLS THAN ALL OF THESE



Now there is another appeal to Mabinogi that also captures our love for it. Your not class-restricted. So you can become a warrior, and train Mage and Archer skills. Choosing a talent just gives you stat-related bonuses for training skills under your talent.



Current Talents for Mabi NA. More on the way.


And there's more. you don't have to be in combat every second to get exp. You can become a chef, a tailor, a bard, a blacksmith, a carpenter, a potion maker and many more! Mabinogi is a casual rpg that lets you do what you want, but if you want a linear adventure, they offer goddess missions to go into the lore of Mabinogi (NOTE: GODDESS MISSIONS ARE ONLY OPTIONAL)


Well, I think I've said enough.
