Mabinogi : 2008 Best of F2P Awards

Jan 04, 2009 06:00:50 PM     News Item: 7622

Danny "Ralsu" Gourley played free-to-play (F2P) games almost exclusively in 2008, and he told Ten Ton Hammer readers about his best experiences in his Top Ten Free-to-Play Games. Now that 2009 is here, Ralsu takes a look back and celebrates the best F2P games he tried in a number of categories:

To the uneducated observer, Mabinogi is a simple game. Don’t let the pastoral setting fool you. Nexon started from the ground up to create a fantasy life with their game.
Check out the 2008 Best of F2P Awards to see what else Ralsu enjoyed.

Mabinogi : Anti-Aliased: Top 5 things MMORPGs should learn in the new year pt. 2

Jan 02, 2009 10:00:00 AM     News Item: 7555

Filed under: Culture, Game mechanics, MMORPG industry, belief, Virtual worlds, Anti-Aliased


#2 -- Balance microtransactions with game substence.

Real money trade (RMT) was big news this year. The rise of the microtransaction model was on everyone's lips. I'm not calling for a death-knell of subscription fees or anything (I like the predictability of the subscription system; I know how much I'm going to pay) but I am saying that microtransactions need to be carefully monitored.

"Just remember the first rule of actually having an avatar in an online space -- citizens want to look cool above everything else."

This writer's suggestion: cosmetic pieces. The item doesn't have to do something to make citizens love it. Take some hints from Gaia Online, Mabinogi, and City of Heroes. Their models have proven that citizens will pay for things -- awesome abilities or not. Just remember the first rule of actually having an avatar in an online space -- citizens want to look cool above everything else.

Many citizens may not agree with John Smedley on everything he says, but he's dead on the money with ideas like toonaction figures, guild calendars and pictures, and posters with your toonon it and the official branding. Those items are amazing models, easy to produce, and a great way for an alternate revenue stream to flow into your company.

#1 -- "Kill/Quest, Level" model is a dead horse, get on with it already!

Yes! Get on with it! This is, without a doubt, in my mind, the biggest failure of the industry today. We're following along a solved formula, and it's shooting this industry in the foot. Player needs to level, gamer completes quests and kills monsters, gamer reaches next level, gamer gets new abilities, gamer uses abilities to go complete quests and kill monsters, et cetera.

We keep asking the question, "Why don't these new games seem like they're as good?" And then we begin this in-depth examination and begin checking every aspect of the game to find out why this feels like we've done it all before. The answer is taking a step back, looking at the model and exallegeing aloud, "Holy heck in a handwoven handkerchief, we have done this before!"

The factorwe keep playing single gamer games is because each one has it's own twist on the core formula. Couple that with the story and personal experience, and you get a great game. Our MMORPG industry needs to learn this fact this year -- not next year. The quest/kill, level, quest/kill model has been done and overdone. Gameplay needs to expand past this. Even reputation grinding is nothing more than the quest/kill to level system.

"The quest/kill, level, quest/kill model has been done and overdone."

One game that has been taking off faster than a warp drive engine has been EVE Online, because it has broken from this methodology. Before you begin your complaints, yes, the grinding system is there. Doing missions to get money is the quest/kill system. What makes EVE different and attractive is that this system is not the core of the gameplay -- it is a tangent of that play. The gameplay centers around the tools offered to let users shape and mold the universe according to their wishes. Money is a requirement, but it does not only come from mining and missions; it can come from basically anything you can twist to make money. If you can dream it you can most likely do it in EVE -- that's the magic. This is why EVE is simply one of the best MMORPGs you can wrap your hands around.

2009 has a chance to be something special. With titles like Jumpgate Evolution, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Darkfall Online coming at us, this should be a very good year.

Colin Brennan is the weekly writer of Anti-Aliased who remembered Darkfall before the rabid comment fans ripped him apart for not point outing it. When he's not writing here for , he's over running Epic Loot For All! with his insane roommates. If you want to message him, send him an e-mail at colin.brennan AT weblogsinc DOT com.

Mabinogi : It's a Mabinogi and MapleStory Christmas!

Dec 19, 2008 09:00:00 AM     News Item: 7330

Filed under: Fantasy, MapleStory, Events, in-game, Patches, News items, Free-to-play, Mabinogi


You've been very good this year, and Nexon knows it. They know it so well, in fact, that they're delivering two major updates to Mabinogi and MapleStory just in time for the holiday season! These updates not only include the two Christmas festivals, but also a variety of other new features as well.

MapleStory gamers can get their hands on the new city of Magatia, the Christmas festival in Happyville, special Christmas Sock mobs that will randomly appear in the world, and many smaller holiday quest events. Plus, on December 23rd, MapleStory will undergo the "Day of Darkness" event, where GMs will be spawning special monsters all day long before the holiday cheer of Christmas.

Mabinogi gamers not only get to help out a troubled Santa Claus and watch fireworks for New Years Day, but they also get the enormous addition of being able to own their own houses! Players may now own houses, while guilds can own castles and improve upon their guild stone. Guilds can now also clash in guild battles and create their own special "guild robes" to wear to show membership.

So happy holidays to all Mabinogi and MapleStory gamers! Go take out those evil stockings and help santa pay for his expensive reindeer!

It's a Mabinogi and MapleStory Christmas! Fri, 19 Dec 2008 09:00:00 EST.

Mabinogi : best of - Favorite new MMORPG of 2008

Dec 16, 2008 02:30:00 PM     News Item: 7329

Filed under: Warhammer Online, Mabinogi


Winner: Warhammer Online (writeup by William Dobson)

The hype-o-meter was off the charts just prior to Warhammer Online's release this year, and when the game finally did come out, gamers found it to be a refreshing change of pace at the same time as being a heck of a lot of fun. Unlike so many other MMORPGs out there, WAR allows you to get into the meat of the game right from level one if you so choose.

And what is that meat? Player versus Player combat, or Realm versus Realm (RvR) in this case. With the option to join a queue for an instanced setting battle from anywhere in the game, and open RvR battlefields located in every tier, bloodshed is always just a short step away. The distinction between Player vs Player and RvR is made extremely clear in WAR.

Class balance is not based on 1v1 battles, but rather, group-versus-group combat. The underlying goal of all the factional warfare is to siege keeps and capture territories, which is intended to require the co-operation of larger groups of gamers, and is reminiscent of Mythic's older and much-loved MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot. The ultimate glory in WAR is to have the chance to pillage the opposing realm's capital city,bootytheir dungeons and kill their king - sounds exciting just reading about it, right?

Even if you look past the RvR aspect of the game, WAR still brings a lot to the table: Public Quests, which give gamers a new way of coming together to accomplish PvE goals; the construction values and the way the world of Warhammer is brought to life; the Tome of Knowledge, which provides little incentives to achieve things in all areas of the game, and offers detailed lore.

Troubled, perhaps. Flawed, for sure. But with a team dedicated to improvements and a fantastic new spin on the fantasy standard, everything comes together amazingly well in Warhammer Online. It's nospeculateat all that it is our favorite new game of 2008.%Gallery-21882%

Mabinogi : Nexon's MMORPG Fighting Game Sugar Rush

Nov 20, 2008 11:48:53 PM     News Item: 6594

Nexon shows its pugilistic side.

The words Sugar Rush don't bring online multigamer fighting to mind, but that is exactly what Nexon has for us today. Launching their closed beta today, Nexon is proud to announce it's closed beta has started and will last until December 4th. What is Sugar Rush? Glad you asked:

"Sugar Rush unites combatants in the City of Bashew, an extraordinary world where a school girl carrying a baseball bat is as dangerous as a hulking tough guy swinging a giant salmon. Players battle in different combat arenas to collect “spark,” a vitalcause of energy, to win trophies and improve their rank in the game. Players can choose from three toonclasses - brawlers, ninjas or morphs - and customize each class with different weapons, clothes and physical features."

Nexon Publishing North America's parent company, Nexon Group, is well known for successful games in Asia such as Maple Story and Mabinogi, but Sugar Rush has been designed specifically for North America. Apparently we're all sugar addicts who like to fight, and after watching a few hours of the news, I'm convinced that they may be on to something.

For more information and to start your account, go to Sugar Rush and put up your dukes.

Mabinogi : guide to Halloween 2008 in MMORPGs

Oct 29, 2008 09:00:00 AM     News Item: 6042

Filed under: World of Warcraft, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Guild Wars, Culture, Events, in-game, Second Life, Mabinogi

Halloween, an ancient Gaelic festival that once marked the Celtic New Year, has been exported by popular culture and immigration to a number of countries, meticulously finding a home in North America. The United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands, Mexico, Romania and Japan all celebrate Halloween in some way, while in other most countries the occasion is usually only marked by syndicated television specials, and the occasional movie marathon.

Halloween, though, is alive and well online in virtual environments and MMORPGGs. World of Warcraft, City of Heroes/Villains, Mabinogi, Guild Wars and more all have Halloween events running; And as for Linden Lab's Second Life, it's always like Halloween there -- but it ascends to something of a fever pitch in the last weeks of October.

Join us for a whirlwind tour of just some of the juicy Halloween season events going on at your favorite games and hangouts.

This is Halloween >>

Mabinogi : Anti-Aliased: Games you should have played, but most likely didn't.

Oct 17, 2008 11:00:00 AM     News Item: 5855

Filed under: Fantasy, Galleries, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Nexus: The Kingdoms of the Winds, belief, Hands-on, Mabinogi, Anti-Aliased


So I learned two things since my last column. The first is if I point out Warhammer Online or Playboy models in any capacity, my traffic rating graph begins to resemble the Swiss alps. So... Warhammer Online and Playboy models.

The second thing I learned is that everyone is pretty much agreed on Warhammer, except for a few outliers. The game has faults, but all those faults are easily overlooked when the game provides a fun environment to romp around in. But that made me start thinking... what other games on the market are pretty good, but overlooked due to a lack of popularity? What games would I recommend to my readers who just aren't happy with the current mainstream market? What games should you have played, but most likely overlooked? I think I have a few.
