– Mabinogi 2022 Summer Showcase ‘It’s Fantastic Day’
Nexon’s online game ‘Mabinogi’ is having a hotter summer than ever. Nexon announced on the 23rd that the number of new Mabinogi users in July this year more than doubled compared to the same month of the previous year.
It is interpreted as a result of reflecting Nexon’s efforts to improve communication and game system for over a year since the Mabinogi user meeting in March last year. In particular, the inconvenience experienced by users in the past two summer updates in July and August of this year has been greatly improved. As a result, it is analyzed that it has led to good results by lowering the entry barrier for new and returning users while enhancing the fun of existing users.
■ ‘Growth support’ update that stole the hearts of new and returning users
– 1st summer update ‘NEXT New Beast’ that supports beginners’ growth
Last July, Mabinogi pulled out a ‘Growth Support’ card for new and returning users who felt burdened by the vast amount of content accumulated for 18 years. Improvements have been made to increase the convenience of content with growth factors throughout the game, from combat to life skills, as well as providing various items to help rapid growth, and the difficulty level has also been significantly adjusted.
■ Reorganization of the introductory quest ‘Blony Memoirs’
– Introductory quest ‘Blonney’s Memories’
The introductory quest ‘Blonney’s Memories’ has also been reorganized. For new users who perform quests, leveling and experience reward have been strengthened to narrow the gap with existing users. Instead, it received a good response by resetting the quest so that existing users can once more acquire special items and rewards that can only be obtained from the Memories Quest. The fact that the 4th volume of ‘Blonney’s Memoirs’, the last stage of the quest, was changed to the mainstream, was also outstanding so that the quest might be continued naturally following the completion of the quest.
A user who started ‘Mabinogi’ following the first summer update said, “When I started the game, there was a sense of speed in quests, training, and leveling up, so I might hardly feel the barrier.” Existing users also expressed their anticipation, saying, “I feel that the difficulty has been greatly reduced.” “After the update, both new and existing users, it will be improved so that anyone can easily enjoy Mabinogi’s rich content and story, so the user pool will expand.” .
■ Significant improvement of various conveniences such as expansion of character appearance
– A hypnotic scent that turns spiders into cute aroma bears
The user-centered meticulous improvement in the summer update also stood out. By greatly expanding the appearance that can be created, the fun of decorating the character has been increased, and for users who are afraid of spiders, a hypnotic effect that turns spiders into cute aroma bears was introduced. In addition, it received favorable reviews for enhancing convenience by adding a quest order bulletin board where you can check essential quests.
■ Added ‘Arcana’ talent for top users
– The second summer update ‘NEXT Arcana’ that showed the hidden talent awakening form
The second update in August focused on core users. For users who want ‘growth, more growth’, an upgraded talent ‘Arcana’ has been introduced. Arcana is a form of awakening of hidden talents created by the combination of talents. It is a special talent that is given an opportunity to learn only to high-level users.
A magic swordsman dealer ‘Elemental Knight’, a combination of close combat and magic talent, and a supporter ‘Saint Bard’ with musical talent added to the blessing talent have been added. ‘Arcana’ of various talent combinations is expected to appear in the future.
Mabinogi plans to continue the summer update atmosphere for a long time. We plan to continue communicating with users and introduce user-friendly content in the game in the second half of the year.
Min Kyung-hoon, director of Nexon Mabinogi, said, “Thank you for liking the summer update that we prepared for you.
