( ´･ω･｀) Fascinating.
I have an astounding amount of screenshots like this. People keep trying to chew me out over this game.
And yes, I’m Labellum.
It's like I'm really in high school!
A question I get while PvPing often, while not quite phrased verbatim goes something along the lines of:
“if u could kill sum1 irl wud u”
And by default I tell them yes, although we all know that randomly committing acts of violence in REAL LIFE has REAL LIFE consequences. If I kill someone in-game there is no penalty against me, other than the fact that I have now created a new enemy in my fantasy life (OH NO). I have no regrets beating the shit out of them in-game because it doesn’t mesh into my actual longevity.
My point is, as stated before, that most of the userbase fails to realize Mabinogi has in fact replaced their own lives with its allure of fantasy. Along with the aforementioned social cliques, people try to live out their actual lives in Mabinogi, finding girlfriends or boyfriends without any sense of what kind of commitment a relationship entails. It’s not uncommon to hear of sixteen-year-old girls moving in with guys, five to ten years their elder. And much like my own high school years, rumors spread like wildfire and eventually hit the official game boards causing tremendous emotional trauma OVER A GAME. Ridiculous.

To conclude, I’d like to agree with Zaki’s outlook on Mabinogi. If their life is horrible enough to where they have to live it out on the internet, why even bother trolling the shit out of them? To the point where someone can anonymously call them a faggot gets them absolutely furious, where is the satisfaction? It’s much more enjoyable watching them live out their ☆~FANTASY LIFE~☆ in vain.
PvP is quite possibly one of the poorest aspects of Mabinogi. It’s mainly dependant on latency, how fast you can load a skill (and/or rank, also see: latency), and of course prepubescent nerd rage. The Mabinogi userbase is predominantly occupied by those who substitute the “fantasy life” Mabinogi promises in place of their own. Social cliques are quite apparent ranging from the “LOL XD ANIME” to the “WOW I’M SO FANTASY LIFE POPULAR” and not surprisngly, often form bonds stronger than blood. People will literally hold grudges to the death within this game because “OH MY GOD SHINKI CALLED ME A FAGGOT” or “SHE STOLE MY STIFF 8/4 RAVEN +4 ICE ENCHANTED BROADSWORD” (nerds).
The userbase has even come up with their own Mabinogi PvP terminology, one of the more popular words being “randoming”; meaning attacking someone who knowingly has PvP ON, but does not wish to fight. What I don’t understand is that these people spend hours in places made specifically for PvP, and PvP is about fighting… right? In the cases of open PvP, people have the option to keep it on, or off. It takes literally no more than five seconds to check the open PvP flag on or off in the options menu.
PvP is the pinnacle of Mabinogi’s fallacies.
u mad bro?
You really hurt my e-feelings ;_;
CAPS LOCK might be cruise control for cool, but you still need to steer.
I don’t like to consider myself a troll, but I doubt that any of you could deny that edging people on who take this game seriously is not appealing.
