The T-Bird Mount

The team from Nexon America has provided us with this info on the T-Bird a mount only available to players from July 16th until July 23rd.

From July 16 to July 23, Nexon is making available the Thunderbird, a flying mount of rare beauty with dashing blue feathers that appear soaked in the indigo sky of Iria.

There is a fascinating legend concerning the Thunder Bird–namely, that lightning strikes from its sharp beak and thunder roars when it flaps its wings. For many years, Thunder Birds were regarded only as creatures of wonder, leaving little else known to the public.

Shopping Guide

MMORPG.com Mabinogi Correspondent Beau Turkey writes this look at the shopping system in Nexon’s item-shop based MMORPG.

Yes, I’m a shop-a-holic.

There… that wasn’t so bad, admitting my problem.

See, Mabinogi has a very simple yet deep system for customizing your avatar. Basically, there are a few standard faces, eyes, and mouths that you would have in most MMOs. But then you can set age and, as I have commented in another blog, gain weight.

But the REAL money maker in Mabinogi are its clothes.There are so many ways to get them, and so many ways to tweak them to your style.

Digging Into the Item Shop

MMORPG.com Mabinogi Correspondent Beau Turkey writes this look at item shops in free 2 play MMOs with specific reference to Nexon’s Mabinogi.

In the cash shop world, it is accepted that many players spend money on virtual items. It is discussed here and there, and in some games is talked about as though the items might be "unfair," but overall the attitude is "anyone can do it, so be it…"

Mabinogi is no different. I spend a great deal of time in the game, and players rarely even discuss the cash shop… at least in the populated towns and in discussions with me. Granted, they could be staging protests that I am not invited to, but I doubt it. Most players are simply playing the game.

Why is it that most players (in cash shop games) don’t worry so much about those players that spend real life money on items, while players in non-cash shop games seem to speak of the cash shop as though it is the end of the world?

Substance Over Flash

MMORPG.com Mabinogi Correspondent Beau Turkey writes this article discussing the merits of substance over flash when it comes to Nexon America’s Mabinogi.

Graphics are a funny thing. Discussing what good graphics are, and why a player prefers them, is a lot like discussing art. After all, everyone has an opinion and there can be no "right" or "wrong," just preferences.

Some players tend to like more "realistic" looking games like Vanguard, Everquest2 or Lord of the Rings Online. Others lean towards "cartoony" or cel-shaded games like Dream of Mirror Online or Maple Story. Then there are games like Mabinogi that show off a style that can be semi-realistic and very cartoony all in the same world.

The question is, do you allow graphics to make or break a game for you? Does it need to look like real life to feel authentic, or do you need bright colors and big explosions to help you have a good time?

The Next Generation of Mabinogi

Generation 3 updates mainstream story line, adds weddings, new quests and improved pet functionality to Mabinogi.

Los Angeles, CA – August 20 2008 – Nexon America Inc. welcomes users to experience the next level of Mabinogi with the newest chapter in the magnificent free-to-play MMORPG, Generation Three. Players will need to overcome a mighty dragon which has been summoned to destroy the world. This episode offers marriage, new quests and added pet utilities, which will compliment the current wealth of game play options already found in the lands of Mabinogi.
The mainstream story quest delivers answers to open-ended questions as players uncover a secret about Erinn. Players will save the human world by recovering dungeon seals, which prevent the fomor, or monsters of Mabinogi, from escaping another world.

Characters in Mabinogi can enjoy a deeper experience within the game’s massive world with the introduction of the marriage system. Players will have the opportunity to not only obtain a wedding license but also tuxedos, wedding dresses, shoes and even a veil for the bride!
Players also gain additional command over their pets, as Generation 3 gives players the option to create programs to manage how pets interact in different situations throughout the game. Users will also appreciate upgrades to the pet’s controls and battle system.

Other additions to Mabinogi include the removal of a cap on combat skills, increased user interface options and several more items, books and character styles. The upgrade to Generation 3 will serve to keep players enriched in the riveting storyline and distinctive art style found in Mabinogi, which has captured the attention of millions of players worldwide who embrace the fantasy life.

Spirit Weapons and New Pets

Nexon has announced the addition of the Spirit Weapon System and several new pets to Mabinogi.

Los Angeles, CA – July 25, 2008 – Nexon America Inc. is adding some spirit to Mabinogi, the sensational free-to-play MMORPG, with the new Spirit Weapon system, as well as a variety of new and helpful pets. These new options enhance the already exceptionally deep game play found within Mabinogi.

The Spirit Weapon system offers players a more powerful weapon, but also requires some TLC. These weapons host a spirit, which requires conversation, food and guidance. As players chat, feed and guide the spirit, it grows stronger. Increasing the spirit’s in-game stats, helps players attack with this weapon and do more damage to foes.

Mabinogi welcomes seven new pets to its world – a cow, white sheep, white flame spider, herb pig and three new dogs, Border Collies, Miniature Pinschers and Samoyeds. The new pets can collect and offer items to assist owners. Cows can acquire milk and sheep can gather wool to assist the owner. With a little work, spiders can assist with the collection of cobwebs and herb pigs can offer herbs. The new dog breeds possess an auto item pick-up function, which means these pups fetch dropped items.

There are other additions to Mabinogi this month. The new Peaca Dungeon is the most challenging yet and will require players to find monsters’ weaknesses to survive. There are also new books to read and skills to learn. Players will have new arrow tips and bolt tips available for battle. And with five more hair colors and three more eye colors available through the purchase of a premium character card, players enjoy enhanced customization features for avatars.

New Pets

Nexon America has announced the addition of pet companions, a dog, two cats, a fox and a wolf, to their free to play MMO, Mabinogi.

Nexon America Inc. is adding a new dimension of game play to Mabinogi with the addition of pets as in-game companions. This exceptionally popular feature supplies players with an exciting new enhancement to Mabinogi’s already massive offering of gaming features.

Players can choose from five new pets: a dog, two cats, a fox and a wolf. Players purchase a pet card through the Nexon Cash Shop and can personalize the pet by naming it. Pets run and attack faster than humans and have skills just like human characters, allowing pets to level up to improve attacks and skills. Each pet has its own distinctive appearance and skill set; a cat might be able to wield powerful magic while a wolf utilizes powerful melee attacks. The benefits of pet ownership, such as extra inventory space and battlefield assistance, truly shine as pets age and grow alongside their owners.

Pets aren’t the only addition to Mabinogi this month. The next update, which is scheduled for June 25, adds five more pets and will feature a new boss monster, dungeon, and the chance for players to learn a high level magic spell, the new Thunder spell. Players able to master this spell will be able to strike multiple monsters at once. Seiren is the latest boss monster in Mabinogi and her glasses and masks are rare items in the fantasy life which can only be obtained through a unique attack. Players should also look out for Fleta, a new roving merchant who sells several unique items.

Mabinogi’s riveting storyline, distinctive art style and plethora of gameplay choices has beguiled millions of players around the world into celebrating the fantasy life. As with all of Nexon’s offerings, Mabinogi is free to play. To sign up or learn more, go to http://mabinogi.nexon.net. Screenshots and other assets are available through the Nexon public relations department.

Wardrobe System

The team from Perfect World International has provided us with this new developer journal discussing the Wardrobe System, which will be implemented into the game after the release of the "Age of Spirits" expansion.

Following our latest expansion, the "Age of Spirits", we have implemented a series of new changes and enhancements for our players. Following the release of this expansion, Perfect World International will be implementing the Wardrobe system.

The Wardrobe is similar to a stash or bank storage, except it exclusively holds Fashion items. Fashion items are extremely popular in Perfect World International, and players can access these items regardless of whether or not they choose to invest in the cash shop. The addition of the Wardrobe System is an attempt to accommodate the extremely diverse and expansive fashion selection available to our users.

A new addition for our fashion conscious players is the new ability to automatically rotate fashion outfits. Players can set their Wardrobe to switch up to eight different outfits, either in the order of their choosing or at random. They can also set the frequency of these changes–from every minute to several hours.

Exploring the Genie System

The dev team over at Perfect World International has provided us with this developer journal describing the "Genie System" that comes with the game’s second expansion, Age of Spirits.

Our second expansion, "Age of Spirits", will open up a new layer of customization for PWI players with the release of the Genie system. The Genie system allows players to further refine and add to their current skill set to make battle even more exciting.

The Genie system will allow players to access a completely new set of skills that can be interchanged and customized to their liking. This means more well-rounded players, and more strategic gameplay. In terms of PvE, players could obtain skills to help them slay monsters and bosses faster and more efficiently. In addition to the improvements in PvE battle strategies, the use of Genies will also change the way players participate in PvP, whether that be in duels or Territory Wars.

Game Overview Dev Journal

The folks from Perfect World International have sent along this developer diary overview of the game and where it stands to date.

Perfect World International (PWI) is the English-based, international version of Perfect World II–one of the most successful 3D MMORPGs in more than 14 countries worldwide. The game is deeply rooted in Chinese mythology and lore.

PWI offers a wide variety of immersive gameplay that set it apart from other MMORPGs. One of the most unique aspects of PWI is its in-depth character customization. Players can adjust every aspect of their face: width, height, eyes shape, lip fullness–everything can be customized to your preference. On par with the customization found in "triple A" console games, players can create and play as anyone–themselves included! This is possible with all of the varied races.

Dev Journal: All About Mounts

The developers of Perfect World International have provided us with this developer journal highlighting mounts in their MMORPG.

The sun is slowly setting as you return to town. Returning from an epic journey your inventory is packed to the brim. Wearing only the most elite equipment, your armor seemingly changes color as the sun falls past the horizon. As you make your way into the town square, head begin to turn. Players stop what they’re doing and look in your general direction. Some players pretend to ignore you and seemingly go about their business; but you know on the other side of their monitor, the user is maneuvering their mouse, pivoting their camera controls to follow you.

Screenshot Class Overviews

The folks from Perfect World International have sent along these class screenshots and overviews for our viewing pleasure.

The Barbarian is the tanking class of Perfect World International. The weapon that this particular Barbarian is holding is not only awe inspiring but extravagant. The theme of this weapon is that it appears to be an actual living creature. Looking at the base of the hammer, you can see that it resembles a tail or fin. The base of the weapon also has a red glow that looks electric when in motion.

Localization of the Venomancer

In our continuing series of of developer journals discussing the ways in which the developers from Perfect World International are localizing the game for the North American market, we take a look at the Venomancer in a number of different incarnations.

The Venomancer is the pet class of Perfect World International. Being a part of the Untamed race, they have a strong kinship with the animals of Perfect World. Venomancers come in various forms, their most common form being that of a fox.

Localization of the Blademaster

The good folks over at Perfect World International have provided us with this visual representation of some of the ways that their game is being localized from the Chinese version to a North American version.

Not all Chinese people like American food, and not all Americans like Chinese food. You can probably find more Americans that like Panda Express (Americanized Chinese Cuisine) than Americans that like genuine Chinese food.

This is a simple analogy to the approach we took with our concept art for Perfect World International.

Some of the differences between these characters are extremely subtle, while others are quite obvious. One thing that we put a strong emphasis both in China and the United States is that these characters need to be representative of each country’s respective culture.

A First Look at PWI

MMORPG.com Perfect World International Correspondent Robert Sollazzo takes a first look at the beta for the upcoming free 2 play MMORPG Perfect World International.

Perfect World… Now where have I heard that name before?

There’s a simple answer to that; an answer that doesn’t involve questioning your sanity or using advanced psychotherapy to recover memories best left forgotten. Originally launching in China three years ago, Perfect World transitioned from a subscription based platform to free play, garnering enough interest to warrant a United States launch as Perfect World International. Servers for this new offering went live in closed beta August 19th, and we here at MMORPG.com couldn’t help but to wonder what changes had been made for the international release.

As it turns out, not that many.

Like its Chinese and Malaysian cousin, Perfect World: International appears to be a game of give and take, excelling in some areas while falling critically short in others. While such oversights would be clearly unacceptable under a subscription based model, free to play changes everything.
