Mabinogi is one of those games that has so much you can do that its almost impossible to find yourself some “dead time” starting with the character customization, the dye system,the craft system (where you can craft your own clothes and other stuff)…also the exploration system that give extra action points (ap which are used to upgrade skills), the social side of the game where you can sit by a fireplace and share food with other players and play and compose your own songs for everyone to listen…This game has so many features and so much to do that the hard part will be choosing what to do next.
Another good thing about the game is that you can chose any skills you want since there is no class system so your free to make a pure melee character or a archer with magic spells…let your imagination run wild wile choosing the skills you think are the best for your fighting style.
The only downside i find here (as a player of the Mabinogi Eu) is the lack of game moderators…often you find yourself in town surrounded by players spamming skills on duels and attempting to scam some newbie with equip trades and such…as far a i can say you can just black list them (simple, easy and fast method to solve it) but a ingame moderator to stop this kind of things every once in a wile would be more effective.
Either way Mabinogi is a great game to spend your time if you like to play games with a lot of social features and party dungeons.
Honestly one of the best or maybe even the best mmorpg out there. there is so much to do in this game that its is amazing that it’s free. you must try this game or you will surely regret it
An awesome MMO! Unfortunately, the EU versions are ignored by Nexon and run by engrish-speaking money grabbers. Prices are upped from the American release and we get few updates or events and poor customeer service. On the upside, EU has servers which don’t break as often as americas and a better in-game economy, so not all is bad. Worth playing if you can find friends to do it with, despite what i’ve said. Things can only get better.
i dont know if people agree with me but we can make a guild called mmobombers so people might now a bit more about the web site and if any of you guys play this they can join our guild but im suggesting so if anyone a guild about this then tell me so i can join
This game so far is on the top of my list of MMOs, there is so far no MMO/MMORPG out there that can top it. I have been playing this for years, and I am a person that gets board of things very quickly, and Im growing bored of it so sometimes I look for games like it, or other nexon games such as DFO or vindictus (being a U.S. player). Yet I cannot find anything remotely close, all I can find are click click F11 F11 F12 F9 pot pot pot LEVEL UP! games and i think those are extremely boring so… Im on my quest to find a decent game like Mabinogi.
Now about the game itself. It has amazingly beautiful scenery all over the place, from the deserts of Connus, to the Jungle of Cor, and the Snowy Planes of Physis. The part that starts to draw you in is the combat system, the versatility of a character, with little to no skill limits, and the character creation. With 3 races as I said, they have some skill limits of each of them, but they are skills that normaly are hard to aquire or are not used much anyways. But overall its a beautiful, fun, adventurous, actiony game, with a very good story line. One game that every gamer MUST play.
OH! I also forgot to mention a very cool aspect of the game, Transformations! Elfs can transform into a falcon/human thing, Giants can turn into a Beast/Human thing, and Humans have a choice, they can become a Knight of Darkness, or a Knight of Light, a Dark Knight or Paladin. With these transformations, all of your stats are boosted (except for Paladin, which gives defense instead of Intelegence), you get health/stamina/mana boost, and each one gets a different skill( except Paladin). Of course something this powerful can be made stronger, but it is limited by time, so to increase the time you must be younger of age, yes there is ages like 10 11 12 13 ect. and the more you rebirth the longer it lasts! Amazing game isnt it?
Mabinogi is a great game! It satisfies almost everyone’s gaming buds. From a hardcore gamer to a Casual gamer. Everyone wins here. Friendly players, good gameplay and amazing art style!

Heck yeah! Best game ever. I have to re-download each time I play but its worth it!
Vindictus a.k.a. Mabinogi Heroes developed by the same developer , devCat , kinda maintained the story , somehow I think the NPC’s look like the ones in vindictus even so I think from that 3 years of developing atleast 1 year was for writing the story , bcuz is great
and that game is known for the good story , but as manny say Mabinogi is a great game , ok I agree with that but Vindictus is even better 
too bad is kinda repetitive , I mean after 1 week i kinda got boored of the same dungeons.. but it worth playing believe me 
too bad is published by nexon , they should’ve look for a better publisher or publish it by themselves
ive played this game for like 5 mins (i kinda got bored and wanted to listen to music) but i’ll b honest it was better than all the mmorpgs ive played although i have my ups and downs with this game i would recommend this for all gamers casual,hardcore,RPGers,FPSers any type of gamer would definitaly enjoy this
^ this game is for FPSers (first person shooters)
._. wut
This game isn’t much of an RPG. Its more of a “chill with friends and do random stuff” game.
LOL’D
This game has more story than most (if you follow the mainstream storyline). Don’t assume if you are not properly informed.
if u play it choose the Tarlach server ^^
(im in there as mitzu77)
There is so much that the maker of the review did that can misinform you. First off this game is not a American game, Its Korean. second yes leveling is fast and slows down eventually but there is also the unique rebirth system that lets you with time reach as many levels as you want by putting your level back to one. but the thing with that is you get to keep a percentage of your stats gained to build up and of course keep all the skills the same rank. There is no skill tree really you are free to get any skill you want anytime you want as long as you have the right amount of AP to upgrade it which you gain by leveling and some quests. As with the camera i saw that he commented that he was annoyed by not being able to zoom out but he failed to put in consideration that there may have been a obstacle blocking being able to zoom out more. Had he looked into the story some he would have seen that the owls are helpers of Nao, the woman from the beginning who wants to help you as a newcomer get started in the game. Movement is quite smooth and you can swiftly move from one skill to another while fighting. In a way yes Tir is a newbie area yes but Mabinogi does not place level restrictions on where you can go. There is SO much things you can do that there is always ways you can find something to do. Honestly I would prefer it if someone redid this review and was willing to do some research before they did a review that will affect how others might come to play.
i played this game FOREVER and loved it, but the game shit out on me on the update after hamlet. basically, the game sucked over a hundred dollars out of me then quit working, like most nexon games.
anyone know witch server to choose that has a fun and nice community?
Well at the moment, a giant group of hackers completely spammed some things in mabinogi. (Might confuse some people if i go too far into the subject) Sweet and Short = Mabinogi is down for a day or two until nexon can either fix the problem or do a week rollback (sort of putting everything the way it was saved a week ago in their system) SOOO… At the moment, the game is down. PROBABLY NOT FOR LONG. Nexon is almost always quick with getting the servers back up. I personally play in the Tarlach server. My cousin dillon1995 also plays in the tarlach server. The tarlach server has a fairly decent economy~ I suggest tarlach from my bias point of view
If you do happen to join the Tarlach server when you join the game feel free to add me and i can help you out ~Yusuke1995 (InGameName)
Mari or Alexina :3
By the way. Person who did the “first look” You were long on a bunch of things most of them were pointed out in a comment somewhere above ^. But there were a few things missed… I’m not sure why you couldn’t zoom out? I zoom out way further from that perspective on my computer, and you can also zoom in way closer. The game didn’t originally have wasd moving set. Most players actually play with the point and click, sometimes you need it to be more accurate. If you go to youtube and watch a more “pro player” playing mabinogi, the movement does not look nearly as robotic, everything is much more fluent once you’ve played it for a week.. In my case (3 years) o3o It’s a great game… When he says “i’m surprised people still play this game” This game does not get the credit it deserves. IMO it’s at LEAST 3x more addicting then WoW. And i’m not a WoW hater i still play now and then when i feel like paying for subscription, but mabinogi is a much more addicting MMORPG then Runes of Magic, Or WoW.. Like i said IMO. If this game had as much advertising as WoW and had such a big NAME as WoW. Then this game MIGHT get the ammount of players it deserves.
Siiigh the game looks really awesome.. and the reviews and ratings AND gameplay i saw on youtube or other websites liek dis… Its just that its for NA (North America).. I wish Mabigoni have SEA ver.. I’ll gladly be happy abt it :’<
And hotspot wont work for me.. ;3;
*WHOTHESHITIFAAAAKINGWANNAPLAYTHISGAMESOMADLYGIMMMMMMMMEEEETHESEAVERNAOOOO*
I really wanted to try this game it looks so fun! But I don’t have any space on my PC to download it.
they have a light version on the site you wont get all the music but you will get the game, its a lot smaller than the normal download
Mabinogi is one of the best MMRPG’s ever produced.
You basically never hit the max level…because there isn’t one. The armors are not important as the fighting engine is made so that you try to dodge the damage by either keeping monsters knocked down, negate the damage by countering or lower damage with different skills.
The damage of weapon isn’t so important either.
All weapons have their good and bad points. Some are slow or hit only once but do high damage or quick and hit up to 3 times with low damage.
There is no separate fashion costumes but all the costumes are also armors of some kind.
You can also learn any skill you want and train their “Rank”.
All in all Mabinogi is skill-wise the most realistic MMORPG.
Too bad the english versions, NA and EU, are attacked by lot’s of hackers.
Especially EU is on really bad shape. If you’re lucky, you can play for hour or so before the servers are crashed again for hours or maybe even days,
There also was a “Blackrobe” hack going on at one point which basically was used by hacker to corrupt your character data and make it appear as black character in a robe.
The game and it’s support are completely ignored by the EU department of Nexon. So if you want to play: learn japanese/chinese/korean and go play their versions as they have no area restriction unlike NA and EU which are restricted only to their area…
pvp was lame. the armor is important. I had the rarest dustin in the game with the highest def/prot possible with 2 def enchants on them i know one was “imp” forgot what the other rare enchant was called. at fully upgraded dustin + full set+ infra black with all “dark knight skills maxed” Nothing could stop me. you could spam me with arrow revolver i would just walk threw it, same for magic/melee. I could hit you even if you had me in stun lock. just because of the armor/skills for defense. honestly i don’t think you played the game enough to say armor isn’t important unless you were just poor in-game then i understand. also i met level cap before they added new skills past the iria patched (thats when i quit)
Wrronngg. NA servers are available to Australia too.
I love this game its one of the best but I haven’t been able to play it since mabinogi launcher keeps failing and I tried everything… if anyone know the side by side thing to the clinet thing to mabinogi please tell me I want to play this game again asap…:)
I found this game about 1.5 years ago and since then it’s been a fantasy life it’s fun it’s pvp system is fun and everything about it it’s my favorite game now
the EU server is shutting down…. after hearing so many good reviews, im gutted that i cant play now
•A•
NAs only game….ip block….
New Player Question :
I Already Downloaded but everytime a press “PLAY” it STILL wants me to download.
Why is it doing that!? ==”
I have the same problem and I have just given up. Although if anyone can help I would love to give this game a go.
i have same prob
So here is my problem, after weighing the options in my head I decided what the hell this game looks worth a go. EU servers are on their way out, and are the America as well? I downloaded and installed the game no problem. I boot and I go to hit play and one of two things happen without fail. “You need to update your account info before playing” So I do so…Um ok what do they…Fine. Done reboot finally gonna play. Nope. “Failed to launch Mabinogi….” Um? Ideas? Am I the only one this has happened to? Eh anyways I guess back on the quest to find “THE ONE MMORPG TO RULE THEM ALL!” (Side note DDO is close. And I don’t care what you say otherwise I love it =P )
run mabi as admin (C:/nexon/mabinogi/mabinogi.exe)
u can make a shortcut on desktop and make sure u run as adimn
I played this game for 2 years found it to be a “pay to win” game. also I was one of top players back when Iria patch game out. My total lvl was well over 2,000. I had every pet in the game. I had tons of items well worth over 100mil over 4 characters.but the game has major issues. specially with pvp if you didn’t have a “lag fix” + top notch internet like i do. You fail in pvp simply due to skill lag, also pvp consist of just “arrow revolver” spam. dungeoning was just “windmill” spam. Another major flaw to this game, was the fact it is to easy to by-pass the hacking system as myself i had “god-mode” and many other hacks that gave me a unfair-advantage. Oh not to mention customer support. if you have a issue and it has nothing to do with “money” good luck getting the issue resolved the “GMs” or “customer support people” will give you a un-related automated reply. If you spam them with support tickets they will simply ban you. also every patch for the game they almost always fail.
Mabinogi is a game where you can keep yourself entertained since there are so many things to do.
And, sometimes we also call it fashinogi, because sometimes people just buy clothes. NOW! clothes, my goodness. Mabinogi has lady-gaga like clothes. I love mabinogi, and I’ve been playing for about two years, x3.
dude there is no classes on mabinogi ive been plying 3 years (this 4 things now its 6 and soon 7 its actualy not classes is just giving you boost for skills ) u wan use whatevar wheapons skills u want and also no lvl req on anything if u will do another vidio of it try to tall more abut the game cuz w/o tht things this gave is succs (also there is no max lvl limit u can get lvl 10000+)and ppl wont quit
mabi cuz they allways hav what to do (nexon dont updating tht)
Playing Mabinogi ever since the beta came to NA, this MMO personally feels more unique than others. There are many different skills to rank, many ranks to raise, no level cap, and big content updates that come every 2~4 months. It can be a bit difficult for a new player to get accustomed to everything but you can always find a guild stone around the maps to join and receive some help. Many different weapons, items to craft, clothes/armor to get/customize with upgrades or dyeing. Oh and of course the game uses an aging and rebirth system that can reset your age and level back down (which is good because you can regain more Ability Points to rank more skills). Combat is also something that is unique in Mabinogi, it can be seen as a more complicated rock-paper-scissors game but with more possibilities and is more fast pace. You can’t simply spam two or three skills while standing still for the most part, combos and tactics are strongly urged when fighting so it’s nice to mix and match the skills you like using in battle.
However like all MMO’s there are the faults and kinks to it. The publisher, Nexon is known to be hidden in the shadows and don’t interact frequently/all that well in game (GM’s are rare). The game can be subject to a few hack scares because of certain modders. Skill ranking can be a bit monotonous because of the requirements they want you to do each rank. The game can be seen a bit as “pay to win” because of the benefits you get from buying pets (fast transportation/inventory space/able to help in fights), buying premium service (30 day temporary package of benefits like being able to use more inventory space and access to using features like housing so you can sell items easily), and the gachapons (usually at the cost of $1 to $1.50 for one and can give a random in game item that can range from junk for crafting to rare equipment that are enchanted with unworldly things and can cost a large fortune.
OVERALL..the game is fun and has a lot of content to mess around with (fighting in dungeons/missions, commercing, life skill crafting, mini games like jousting, a few events time to time) and can have it’s downsides but is worth a challenge if you invest in time, manage to find a helpful guild, and perhaps $10 to $30 dollars on a few pets to help you along the way.
Fun game, Love how they give free mounts to new players. That was one of the main things that held new players from enjoying this game. This game isn’t dungeon based, but some quests require you to go to a dungeon and complete it.
There is no class system, (you can be a warrior/mage, archer/fighter, alchemist/bard or all of them combined) There is a destiny system, it gives 2x exp to whatever destiny you pick like warrior or bard. There’s 3 total races, Humans, Elves, and Giants. Each have their own benefits and disadvantages. There’s also main story line quests, which are divided into generations. They usually give benefits if you complete them, like transformations, demi-god transformations, personas, etc. Your character and pets usually age 1 year every sunday and to reset your age, you can rebirth.
The things I don’t like is that some dungeons for the main storyline are too difficult, which requires friends to help you out unless you can solo everything. Also most dungeons are repetitive, find keys to open the door, attack switches to open doors, find the real chest among mimics, etc.
Girl in tshirt and miniskirt somehow has two deul wielded broadswords attached to hips. Not even going to visit the site much less install
Only US players and Australians can play, racism present in community.
Don’t play this game. It’s bad
I miss how Mabinogi was in Europe and there was no reason for it to shut down. Everytime I logged in there were only people who I know. I remember when there was a major update and then a few nice adds came on youtube about it attracting some people and they were like newbies who I could help every now and then when I see them around. Now there’s latency in the NA server which totally sucks D:
@ thesimp That’s outdated, I’ve been playing Mabi NA since May 2012 and I’m from EU. The community is not anymore racist than others. Humans will be humans.
@cacalips Huh? If you don’t like that kind of clothes, there are many other options to choose from.
Much has changed as of 2012. For one thing EU closed down and NA is now open to most European countries. Yet even before Mabinogi has been far more than a social game, there are many quests to finish and dungeons to run, exploring to do and more.
What makes Mabi unique is:
- the cutscenes with you in them
- the storyline
- you can customize your characters a lot; wear sexy, casual or elegant clothes
- there is no fixed class system, you can be whatever you want
- lots of different ways to level, the worst grinding you will have to do is skill training and farming for a certain item
- several ways to make money
- The beginning used to be difficult, but was made easier recently. Heard Mabi is on Steam now too.
Mabinogi..very unique. i played many online games but mabinogi is different. whats more? the character, the NPC..omg..they are so beautiful animated..i once fell in love with all the girls NPC. LOL
Yea, it’s a great game. a game that you will free from all those stress. Unlike maple, you noob get lost from the fun. I highly recommend that you start off this game with bunch of your friends. This game have all the features like “making a party with frineds, go hunting monster dungeon then making campfire, everyone siting around it and play music(if there is a musician)” yea, there is a LIFE in this game. The cons of this game is “less user friendly”, you will get lost and dunno wat to do. so, better is read some walkthrough or guide before u start it. maybe thats the reason why the player is less in mabinogi D:
By far the best mmorpg out there. Not just the common sense of variation of colours which makes every player unique but also the variety of loots, lucky drops, and rear items that you can’t predict when you fight. The best co-op game ever and when they say it’s a “fantasy life”, hell yeah it’s definitely a fantasy life that you can get lost in. If there’s to be a VRMMORPG like Sword Art Online, Mabinogi should undoubtedly be the first since it has so much free stuff including the rebirth system which makes it really feel like a life worth living
Hehehe You could be an alchemist (FMA)
I like this game, it just lags on my computer a bit. Its fun
any Filipinos playing this game?? cause i am a Filipino
well you can play if you have IP hide cause there is no SEA server
this game shut down.
Mabinogi is not shut down, the EA server has merged with NA’s server.
I loved Mabinogi while I could play it. It’s really fun, you can really take on any kind of life you want in the game.
My only complaint would be that they auto close tickets and don’t listen to your complaints or problems. I haven’t been able to play the game for a year now ever since they added a patch in the game. I’ve gone to their tech support forum and tried everything, but it wouldn’t work again. I can’t even log in to my account. I sent in a ticket hoping they would help, but they auto closed it and didn’t even look at it. My friend also had a problem in her game where she couldn’t enter a dungeon she needed for a quest, and they auto closed her ticket as well. I would guess the North American team has lousy tech support. They don’t really seem to care as long as they are making money off the majority of the players.
They try to hide the problems with the game by adding all these great events, but it doesn’t really make it up to the people who have problems playing it. :\
I’d say still give the game a try though. It’s really fun! But if you have tech problems and don’t know what to do, you are out of luck.
Is the game can be played in ASIA?
no you cannot, any games published by nexon have ip blocks on SEA
