First version, anyway. Fun to play with the character simulator, but I just wish there were an offline version (or at least worked with Firefox)…

Though if they took it from me is another story, but good that they did take it:

Hello!

Mabinogi will be available for all Nexon.net users! February 23^rd – 24^th marks the two-day period where the Fantasy Life will be open to everyone. Regrettably, characters created during this time will not transfer to Open Beta. This is a great opportunity for our users to learn more about Mabinogi and gain a headstart when Open Beta officially launches! Purpose of this Pre-Open Beta is to test the stability of our servers. Looking forward to seeing you inside the Mabinogi world!

To be honest, I think this Pre-Open Beta is not going to work out the way Nexon intended it. The reason’s that there is zero incentive for any player to join the beta in the first place, as:

1. It lasts only two days
2. Characters will not be transferred into open beta

In all honesty, Nexon should just skip straight away to open beta to ensure proper load testing, or give something that people can carry over into open beta. That way, Nexon can get the load testing that they’re hoping for.

Episode 3 can be seen after the jump. (more…)

For those who didn’t get to see it yet:

Looks so different compared to Mabinogi…

January 30, 2008, 5:00 PM EST it seems. Well, hopefully they won’t have a time limit like the Japanese version (and unlike the Korean version), and just have to pay for expansions. You can read more about it here.

There’s a #mabinogi channel on PPIrC for those who wish to join in on discussion.

EDIT: Date calculator here fixed the problem.
