“Mabinogi is (for the most part) a classic MMORPG, with players exploring dungeons, defeating monsters and purchasing weapons and armor. However, the title is also advertised as a way to ‘live your fantasy life’ and diverges from many other MMORPGs by not featuring a class system. Players can level up in any skills, which include ‘life skills’ such as fishing, cooking and playing instruments, and also age. Players are encouraged to go to school/take jobs, and to socialize by hanging out with other players around campfires.”

As I say in the piece, I don’t have a huge amount of interest in continuing to play Mabinogi. It’s still kind of an interesting world, though, and the first Korean MMO that I’ve spent a significant amount of time with, so there’s that!
