=) It is actually seems feasible to level (or make a living) only through various crafting skills. The little box standing in front is for listener donations. Of course, you have to practice your skills in order to play well. The quality is MIDI, but still pretty nice. In Mabinogi, you can compose and play your own melodies, as well as sell your compositions to others. While in town, I cam across a couple of people playing music. The key to profit in dungeons is to buy kill quests for the mobs inside, which give much more gold than simply collecting whatever drops off the mobs themselves. At the end there is a boss monster that drops enchants, loot, and cash. In design, they are pretty simple, with corridors that often have herbs or ore to mine, and trapped rooms where you have to kill all the monsters that appear in order to proceed. They can be done in groups or solo, and there are even timed 'Boss Rush' and hardmode versions available.

=PДungeons in Mabinogi are randomly generated, depending on the type of item you drop on the Altar at the entrance. I put in an app to one that looked pretty decent, because soloing is lonely. Simply click one to submit a short application and read the guild's bio. The bigger and more gilted the obelisk, the larger the guild. People who buy a basic pay package (around 9$ a month) can start their own guild, and place markers in the world to advertise it. You see some farming mobs in the wild too, but it's not that bad.ДЇinding a guild consists of either asking on the realm forums, or else browsing guild obelisks. The only bots I've seen are some gold ad spammers in towns, usually only 1 or 2 of them, and they're easy to put on ignore. The community isn't anything worse than WoW's, in my opinion (in other words, finding a decent guild makes all the difference), and I think many features of the game are actually quite nice, if a bit rough around the edges. I have to say though, Mabinogi doesn't suffer from any of those things, really. I know the first thing many people think of when they hear 'F2P game' is that it is poor quality, with a bad community and lots of bots.

The game gets content updates about every 6 months or so, and new items added to the cash shop randomly.ДЇeel free to look me up on the 'Mari' server if you're ever trying out the game and need a free ride around newbieville. If you really want to, you can even choose to pay a $9 or $15 monthly fee for extra perks, although it is perfectly feasible to play free (perhaps only buying a mount or other one-time cost items here and there) for as long as you want.

I know I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up enjoying it. If anything, it's worth laying aside any preconceived biases you may have against F2P MMOs just to try it out for a few days.

If you are someone who likes skill-based MMORPGs with lots of crafting/socializing/soloing options, Mabinogi might be right up your alley. Also, only Humans can do the storyline quests at the moment (future patches will introduce storyline quests for everyone). Humans are very balanced stat-wise, which makes them a benefit for beginners (they are also the only race that can dual-wield bladed weapons, which I know lots of people like). Human players get a free Elf or Giant character slot once they ally with one of those races, whereas people who start out as one of those two would have to pay for a second character slot. There is also voluntary PvP and an Arena, though I don't know how popular they are.ДЄfter learning about the different races, I would have to strongly recommend that people make a HUMAN for their first character.

There is a strategy to efficiently skilling up your character and succeeding in combat, but for people who are used to have 20+ different kinds of flashy attacks to choose from with tons of mathematical calculations for min/maxing them all, the simplicity may be hard to transition to (though I actually found it kind of refreshing, plus it allows you to kill things higher level than you with the right skills). For people who hate traveling, crafting, 'playing dress-up', anime, or any hint of grind-y stuff, it may not be that appealing. In terms of game features, I think Mabinogi would actually appeal to many MMORPG-fans - it has many of the things players always seem to ask for in their games (housing, player shops, combat pets, gear customization, RP tools, etc).
