Attention Nexon gamers,

We sincerely apologize for the extended server maintenance. Server maintenance is important as it helps maintains the stability and integrity of our servers, and unfortunately we have run into some difficulties. Our teams are working hard to bring up the game servers as soon as it is plausible.

Mabinogi is currently extended to and anticipated for 4PM Pacific (7PM Eastern), Combat Arms at 3PM Pacific (6PM Eastern) and MapleStory at 6PM Pacific (9PM Eastern). All game servers should be up before the anticipated times. We will follow-up with more information and updates.

Thank you for your patience.

OH SWEET! New cash shop items! I can't wait to go out and spend my savings on Nx for the newest invisible hat.

[Tharticus]

New game updates? Why don't I comeback the next 6 months and see if there's level 10 mounts?

Oh, and Monster Carnival Season 2 will take the cake.

A lot of rumors about leeching getting fixed this patch. Specifically PG leeching.

A lot of rumors about leeching getting fixed this patch. Specifically PG leeching.

Supposedly, they are adding an accuracy formula to Power Guard, Poison Mist, and Other Skills that can hit enemies that are extremely higher that you would normally miss. Also they are lowering the exp for the person who isn't killing monsters.

That is what I heard. I also heard they did something like this in KMS.

EDIT: It's going to be easier to train at the more popular training spots since a vast majority will be likely trying to get the new belts from the Mu Lung Dojo

Mu Lung Dojo <3
Looking forward to getting a Black Belt -drools-

Would you mind editing this into the original post? :)

Apparently there's gonna be a cash shop item that allows you to wear 2 pendants at the same time, for 30 days o_o

[Taranoleion]

Yeah, heard that too. What's the deal with that? Not like you really NEED 2 pendants. :/
I mean, sure, it would be useful, but... ?
In a month or so, let's wear like two overalls at once! Or, an exclusive CS item that gives your underwear stats.

But don't you think it's kinda annoying that you need to replace your pendant with the exp one instead of getting the stats from stuff like MoN and HT necklace? High level players that own those pendants are in a big disadvantage because of that.

[Taranoleion]

Well, I'm pretty sure those EXP pendants are a temporary thing.
And I myself am not really affected by this, because I can live without my Deputy Star when Misting, damage is pretty irrelevant when training like that.

You do have a point though. If they decide to make the EXP pendant thing permanent (or at least last a bit longer), then I can see how a lot of people are gonna buy the extra slot.
