One thing about Mabinogi. I have been playing it for quite awhile and it has ended up costing me ALOT. Sure it's free to play, but to actually get anywhere in the game you NEED to buy cash cards. It is really hard playing this game without the Nao item, that gives you 3 revives and one new revive every hour once used. Without this you would need to have a large group of friends to revive you. No one on Mabi really likes having to constantly revive a player that can't revive themselves. Also the world right now that I have is HUGE. Without a horse, ostrich, or mount bird, it is REALLY a pain in the butt to get around. Though the first maps you come across are easy to travel, once you get to Iria or the new one that I have hardly played, it is really far in between each warp area's.
I am not trying to shoot down Mabi, I love it! It is a great game for partying up with others, making a band, creating clothes, cooking, fishing, getting married, etc. It has many good qualities. It's just that getting anywhere in the stories costs cash! :3 Anyway you should try it out anyway.
