23k hours and 11k USD is what i've put into mabinogi. I started in 2010, and i loved the game dearly until reforges came around. I could no longer use whatever i wanted and have fun. I continued to play for a while longer, always trying to keep up with each new cintent update only for something crazier and more powerful to be released. Skills stopped mattering as much when it came to power, and i was being forced into paying real money for almost every power increase. I got to the point where i gave up on multiple level 6-8k ttl level characters because i knew if i made a new one with a hero card or during AP events, i could gain skills that took a few monthes to grind for or have triple to hextuple the AP of a character i had spent years on. I now have a level 11k, that only has about 400 hours played on it, that has around 17k more AP than my character i had put 6k hours into.... and then another update was pushed, and i learned i could get even more if i started from scratch again. Ontop of this, i am now forced to try and buy powerful pets just to bypass the need for armor that is not only rare and hard to find, but costs 6-10m per piece. Weapons that have any meaningful power scaling cost up to hextuple that amo7nt just to craft, and can roll poorly, and i still need microtransactions to reforge them, and multiple versions or multiple like-powered weapons to even do the next bit of cintent which is growing steadily further and further away. I love mabinogi, but what am i supposed to even do at this point? I cant spend any mire real money, and every guild i've been in has disbanded at this point. There is nothing i can do to even play with the general populace in these dwindling servers. I miss mqbingoi, but it feels like there is no chance i could ever catch up at this point, despite my time and effort put into it.

Nice.

tbh starting mabinogi fresh the game isn't in a good place... the Blaanid tutorial is all over the place and their choice of forcing you to go all over the place was a terrible choice. (I do like the story behind the character though its very cute and you can tell the dev cares about the character ideals.) They really need to rework it so you are doing the story with Blaanid and give u the appropriate power for the story line you are one. yes they can teach you x y and z BUT they need to teach you that stuff WHILE in appropriate areas. Why give me everything at the start then tell me to do the story (which was the original reason why you paid any money into the game in the first place). Like I shouldn't be rank 1 in everything before I even start the story quests. They also need to rework the skills and how to level them as well. Right now they are either too easy to lvl them and they have continuity problems. Specifically the music side. How am I suppose to use a buff skill at Rank F music when the earliest you can get that is Rank D? They need to look through all their poorly made systems fix them all and make the guided path better. They really need to take a page out of maplestory and guide you through the areas u should be at. yes they power level u up to 200 and now up to 260 BUT that takes about 1 month. Mabinogi takes about 1 week... If they are smart they'd do a "reboot" server where its not P2W (specifically on the gambling stuff offering it for free, maybe selling outfits for gold would be fine.) just like maplestory has. Mabinogi should be a fashion MMO they can compete against PSO2 very easily maybe with the unreal 5 update they can do emotes and other things that they couldn't do in the original engine and make money that way instead of the gambling. Hopefully with the Eternity update They rework a lot of the systems. Like do people even do the talking to NPC stuff anymore if they just hand you all the skills basically? Like at this point as a new play I kinda don't even want to log in anymore and I only played the game for 1 week... Great retention game. I do hope the game improves but its obvious the devs are fixing a lot of holes they should've fixed a long time ago.

I started in 2008 and I left in 2010 or something I cant remember, came back in 2016 and saw messages from my friends that were waiting for me. I feel bad for leaving them for so many years. I left when Mabinogi was called Mabinogi Alchemist.

i think this is a mature decision and all good things must come to an end. the graphics update will pul me back in for a few months... but the rng has to change or the p2w has to change. if p2w aspects were made 1/100 current costs nexon would likely make MORE money... or if rng was 100x the playerbase would flourish... which would also make them more money. and all that would captivate you and i to play mabinogi

My see you next year didnt age well, im glad im wrong❤

I just realized my Briana renown isn't maxed 🤦

Me, who's been playing on and off since around 2010 with not even 1/100th of that: "N-not i-impressed" *sniffle* To be honest, congrats on that account and on the 2k. Damn I've been playing on and off with my friend this year and is the game a far cry from the unfairness it was in the early days. Even then, you have the patience of a god. GLHF friend

shoutout juice guild

this is awesome

It's time for Glenn Elite, Kodey.

Unstoppable

Dang you're the real hero, great work

10/10 Dang you got more grand Master then me now iv been slacking

hey kodevu would you train me to be op in mabi

good to see you are back :)

mate you forgot the phoenix pet buff so even if all of those chances to not die fail... you just stand up and keep fighting

now do it all again and record it... Glad you're back, congrats on the 2k !

as a super weak old player this makes me sad.

The idea of spending time and energy with less than a 1% chance for a reward is insane to me, that's why I stopped taking this game seriously and just open it for a quick time waste and uninstalled it when the dreadful feelings come back. Yes, It's easier to skip the early game but for what? To jump in an insanely girndy mid-game to an awful end game, because let's be honest all skills can be trained easily the only hard-to-train skill is the pet bead thing which the real struggle of it is gold to buy the beads and gold is a big part of the major awful grind of this game. I really don't care about the future of Mabi as their mentality never really changed but I really hope people appreciate their time and reconsider where and what to spend it on.

I am someone with both strong love and hatred to this game. I love how the game functions in combat and some overall fun stuff you can do in the game, however... The p2w side and all these percentage systems, is something i deeply hate about the game. I have fallen into the term of "sunk cost fallacy", i wish i could stop playing the game, but i can't really let go after so much i have put into it, and i personally even struggle IRL to just manage because of this damn game. Really hope the devs move on from their current sales tactic and all awful percentage systems to something much better at some point... One of my recent expriences has been really draining me dry, i accidentally overwrote an reforge on my staff, then trying to get it back has been draining over 100m already while making money has been proving very difficult, even selling my own things to get the gold, i feel like this game in nutshell takes away more than it gives...

I quit recently and permanently after playing since 2011 with different accounts because the game got too boring and too grindy once you hit endgame. There wasn't much else to do in mid game and early game content.

I've just started playing a week ago myself, and so far I have been having quite a bit of fun, personally especially because of blaanid as well. I don't particularly care about reaching endgame myself though, just enjoying the ride so far.

Honestly just came back after hearing the Eternity Project and another friend showing off their Cosplay. At one hand, it's crazy how far the Blaanid gears can take you. But in the other hand, after reading the story (G9-G18 then the FInale of G21)- Thankful for it. It's... not very engaging or motivating to struggle through the same and pointless Shadow Mission for the 20th time just to talk to an NPC or do anything. Thanks for the honesty and fresh video contents, have a good retirement (and if you do return, a happy one.)

You've truly made it to the end game, congratulations!!! *clap clap*

You're 100% right about the early game being trash, but they don't care. They want to speed up newbies to the "good" part of the game, even after the unity update gives all those old zones a fresh coat of paint, I can only imagine it'll still feel like just as hollow of an experience.

I stopped playing mabi 14 years ago. My friends keep me updated and ask me to come back all the time. Alot has changed since my days but 1 thing that is still the same is nexon wants you to spend money on everything. Maybe 1 day i will find another game as goof as this one

I was thinking trying Mabinogi, But then I remembered this game owned by Nexon, After watching your video It’s even more clear now.. seems like a waste of time for a new players. Makes me wonder if there is any new players at all or basically this game will die and burn on hardcore players.

if you are playing mobi right now please stay safe from hackers in game. they are taking accounts and placing people on systems. i am sabersaff, bluedeer, gizmorampage, rezzca, saborba and benatrix on the game. and have ended up getting hacked or somehow someone got on my account with out my premission or information. as of right now i am having trouble getting into my account do to someone who has hacked me. please be careful and be safe on the game. also if you see weird behavor with supports of any game just be careful and make sure they are asking of you what their suppose to be asking for. stay safe.

this game took grinding to another level

there is really nothing else to do other than gambling once you get the tutorial done

nega what

FELLOW GOBLIN LORD ENJOYER! I enjoyed your guide, thanks!

The problem is Nexon. A lot of good games run by Nexon turn to shit really quick with all the gacha and gambling microtransactions

I jumped ship from Mabinogi years ago. Just wasn't the same game after gacha look over the store. Same fate that killed PangYa for me as well. Let me just buy stuff directly please. Stop making it Gacha. It's sad when I used to craft arrows/potions for gold. But Gacha award potion/arrows were tradable... every time they held an event with gacha awards that included such things for months my source of income was dead. I started playing FF14 last year though and it's basically a vastly superior Mabinogi. Just doesn't have the unique combat Mabinogi had. But FF14 you get to stylize your character just like in Mabinogi fashion is a big thing. One character can learn all the classes again, just like Mabinogi. Even the Bard as a similar music system so you can play any music you want/make. It's basically a better Mabinogi. Which I'm glad FF14 exist now.

I dislike reforges the moment they released them and yeah, now that you can get some in game with out nx it helps a lot, but the limit on how many you get is so bad. If you could lock lines you want to keep it would be better of a system. But Because it was a pay to win mechanic from the start it really spoiled the game. I don't mind that Blainaid gives you total levels. Her problem is she AUTO trains skills and AUTO GRANTS skills. They made training easier which is nice but they made it TOO easy.

I played Mabi off and on since Open Beta, and I left before a lot of those "endgame" stuff (don't even recognize most of them). I simply enjoyed my time casually, and when I got to my "endgame" it was simply getting my melee swords forged, placing some good enchants on them, and (after many battles) eventually 'retiring' by spending my later years as a merchant (both to make profit and to enjoy my fashionogi). I did return very briefly less than a year ago, just to check things out, and saw there was those Blaanid quests and... Yeah; Within just a few days of playing through some of her questline, I not only got really powerful gear, I also was given enough exp/levels that ended up making my friend (who was with me starting a new character) surpass my main in terms of total max levels, just cause of how much she gives you. -------------- I guess Blaanid is nice for returning players or for vets wanting to make a fresh character and not want to spend as much time early game, but holy heck does she power you through things that (I feel) took me weeks to get through. I do hope with the Unreal engine update, they make changes so that players both new and old can get to better enjoy the experience and journey through the games content and story. Lots of mmo's forget that these days and just try to rush you to the newest/endgame content, rather than letting people experience and enjoy the journey to the later content.

Send me all your cool items you don’t want! IGN; hellmarik

Did they make the riding mounts out the store?

Awe the memories

So weird to hear someone complaining about Mabi's P2W in 2024 when I harped about it for a long time in 2009 and everyone told me to shut up XD

WHY WOULD YOU QUIIIIIIIIIIT THIS GAME NEEDS EVERYONE IT CAN GET!!!!!!!!! I LOVE MABINOGI! EDIT: GAMBA!

Hey, I just started making video after being inspired by you, I hope you will return one day.

As a 10+ year gamer i can relate to this, also to add about your rant i will say: Game needs more faster gatherings and faster part time jobs, ( gold directly in inventory like exp system and the total annihilation of dollbags from the game ), the gathering daily takes years to do and completely breaks your will to do stuff faster, melee skills need to be expanded for every melee weapon and focused on each trait of a type ( from little armament to the big ones ) like they did with the lance one, every skill needs to be rebalanced for 100% success in every thing you do if you reach Dan 3 or Rank 1, smithin or tailoring percentage for the set effects ( like bearna ) need to be FIXED to the maximum when attemptin ( you cant see set level effect 3 - 5 in 2024 like it was some gambling, total trash ), In game we have a lot of restrictions: - daily dung runs/reforges/rewards/basic player stats/ critical and so on - , this it cant even be considered a real MMORPG anymore, theres no real freedom, no real advancing/personalization for dedicated veteran people, its like a game with shackles. Every content should be increase rewards at least goldwise+items to +25% in each cap level difficulty based on comulative level skill ( yes i agree that Blaanid is too much OP for new people they dont reconize the real trials you need to do for advancing ). Game needs Re-do or re-play scenario button for real farmers ( every content wise ). But MAYBE we will have everything with Unreal Engine 5 WHO KNOWS (?) " wink wink " :^) Game doesnt need advanced graphics, it needs to not crash at GM events when people gather in one single channel, but again maybe UE5 will solve everything.

i agree i dislike the 1% to get good at the game. but yea i also keep around to see what come next and enhoy the life in erin, will miss u kovu hope see u soon ovo

W take. Same reason I quit. The longer you play the more you see that the game is just a cash grab disguised as a fantasy mmo. Sucks cause the game holds a lot of nice memories. May come back when unreal engine comes out.

With the Master Plan event going on you can also just spam Nowhere To Run Elite Baltane Missions to get to level 200 if you use combat exp pots and use a 3x EXP Baltane Crystal.

I ended up taking a long break from Mabinogi because my guild stopped playing. Some of them returned, so I rejoined, but the whole game tilted so heavily into pay-to-win and I was suddenly too weak to do the missions I used to breeze through. But in my break, I developed a love for tabletop RPGs, so I started making one in an attempt to simulate my favorite TTRPG (City of Mist) and my favorite MMO (Mabi)... Mostly because I'm not bold enough to ask newer friends to try this game in its current state
