Very good unique game but riddled with bugs/glitches/lag

Perhaps one of the best games I've played in a while (mmo wise). Things are done so differently here. You get a nice combat system. A pretty open sandbox feel. A decent story line (rare in mmo) for the mainstream quests (except for Shakespeare which i think was god awful). Skills don't have a progression tree. You can learn any skill any order. There is no level cap and there is no "class" restriction. If so ever dedicated, you can max every skill.

Despite all these goods, the lag and glitches/bugs will piss a lot of people off. In some months lag is non existent, in other months even a lover like me have to stop playing the game because how bad it gets. There are also a lot of bugs and glitches nexon is probably never going to fix, I will leave you to find them as you play if you do decide to give it a whirl.

Perhaps one of the things that kept me attracted for such a long time is the patches they release. Every so often, a patch with new content is released. They release it about 3-4 times a year. When it happens, I can't wait to see the new stories/skills/balances/remakes they do.

Overall, this game is an awesome on-off game be it due to content or lag. For new players this game will ultimately boil down to can they look pass the glitches/bugs/lag plaguing the game.

    A great game with one fatal flaw.

    Overall, Mabinogi is a very good game. It has a wide array of skills, many quests, and, unless you use a guide, it feels very realistic because you have to find out everything yourself. Its features include pets which... Read Full Review
