Mabinogi

this game got topnotch gameplay... think of it as runescape but with 3D cell-shaded graphics BUT if you are looking for a really free-to-play game then this game is not for you. you WILL NOT, i repeat, WILL NOT advance in this game if you don't spend on their item mall. talk about irony, a free game where you have to pay.

another irony is, nexon (the company that released mabinogi) is also responsible for maplestory (one of the most successful F2P mmo's) yes maplestory also have the item mall BUT the stuff sold are primarily only for aesthetic purposes, you can advance in maplestory even without spending a single cent, and look at how successful it is, reaping in the $$$ for nexon.

now as ive said, mabinogi gameplay is tops, but at its current  "spend or you're doomed" state, soon only a couple of the hardcore players will be left playing this game, and what fun is there when you can only see a few guys running in the server. gameplay is a major factor, but a game also needs community to survive.

just my thoughts, i love this game and i hate it going vaporware just because the community died. 

Vaporware would mean that the game had never been released, not that it was released but did poorly.

oops sorry that we have conflicting ideas, definition of the word vaporware. for me vaporware comes from the root word vapor which is an outcome of evaporation. which things evaporate? water evaporates, but it does not mean that water is not there in the 1st place, the water must be physically present first before it can evaporate. am i right? so mabinogi must first be present before it can dissapear.

but who cares? i dont care... even if you first coined the word "vaporware" and you have a patent to the meaning of it. i have totally some right to put my own definition of the word. hey even the bible got different versions and definitions... so if i were you, i would just accept and respect other peoples opinion and stop trolling the forums... thank you very much. (next thing you know, you might give your own definition of the word "trolling" ) so i better call mr. webster right now LOL

let me hear you say "yeah!"

I don't think he was trolling, just correcting your incorrect definition of the word 'vaporware'

And you... being a player of mmo's SHOULD know what that word means. (Or maybe you did, but instead of graciously accepting that you were wrong, you made up your own convenient definition using your crude form of intelligence to justify it?)

And if you want a good definition of 'trolling' or 'flaming' look at your post.

You're an idiot, Yokam. By my definition, it means someone who may or may not have a valid opinion, but loses all credibility when he makes up his own definitions for real words.

Wow, you're an idiot... That guy's definition was, in fact, correct. You can make up whatever you want; no one's going to go along with you, however.

A game that's believed to be "vaporware" is a game that does not, in fact, exist at all. For example, when Dark & Light's pre-orders became available, people constantly whined "VAPORWARE," thinking that they would pay for it and receive nothing.

And if you're STILL too stubborn to listen, check out the dictionary's definition:

Now befor you start flameing me know that i played fro mthe first day CB started to last mounth so im not a newb about the game.

Its sad but this game was great during closed beta. and it was fun early OB. But lately i have run in to 3 MAJOR problems.

A.- they got a few corrupt GMs. (not all just 2)

B.- most of the community DOSE NOT SPEAK ENGLISH.

C.-Lack of non cashshop items and free ingame activitys .

D.- Lack of bug fixes.

I have played ALOT of games and well other then maple story nexon is probly one of the worst companys to run a game. Mabi is a killer game but sadly its going in the wrong derection . All we can do is hope it gets fixed.

blah blah blah...his point is valid about the vaporware. He does have a good argument, although vaporware has been established beyond jargon and is an offical word in the English dictionary as printed in all major dictionaries.  Unfortunately OP, you lost bro.

In their defense, combat arms is actually pretty fun, as far as fps's go

jircris you are actually telling us also that nexon is worst then nexon... maplestory and mabinogi is made from nexon so all in all you think nexon is the worst... hmmm but how can it be worse then itself:P

anyway.. i want to try mabinogi but unfortunaly i live in europe.. so i cant complain about the game other then IT SUCKS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN SENDT OUT IN EUROPE
