I was shock when I saw in mabinogi forum said that the game available for North America player only! I heard many people is complaining about this matter, and if Im not mistaken is that they say this thing happen just at the time when mabinogi is almost open beta! That means they change it after the closed beta!

Here is the word that I heard from a member in the forum:

IP block 'Not a service area(30022)' info ---> "Also important guys is that they have changed it for Open Beta too. They now say only north American players can play. Highly unprofessional handling of this imo."

The link is here: http://forum.nexon.net/Mabinogi/forums/thread/712953.aspx

And another member who is asking the question:

Can other countrys play Mab besides NA? ---> "Sorry to tell you that the answer is no, it's only for players from NA >_<"

The Official Notice from mabinogi forum here:

So why they say that mabinogi is "For Everyone" in the first place when its closed beta??? Now I see this and its really breaking my heart T_T I have waited for so long to play this game...from the very early announ

Mabinogi is my most beloved MMORPG that I ever played. Im happy to know that Nexon will release its Open Beta at 5th March, which means tomorrow! Well that is the good news =P many friends here have told me that they will play this nice game with me together, I was so happy to hear that ^^ I feel so excited cant wait more to play this fantastic game~

So what so special about Mabinogi anyway? Well I realy dont know how to explain it, as it was so nice that I loved everything that is in the game and I dont have anything to complaint at all. It has nice story, many beautiful scenery, vivid NPCs and animals, interesting jobs like blacksmith or tailor etc, hobbies like fishing, music perform, cooking etc. Oh yeah one thing I find out that mabinogi is so special is that it has Part-Time Job System, in daytime you can ask the NPC to give you some task to do to earn Salary from them, like collecting fruits or milk for bakery shop, making dress for cloth shop, or delivery jobs etc, and when you work long enough for them and gained their trust, you will be promoted to ahigher position and get higher salary! XD so real isnt it? There is not much that you can earn from killing mobs, so if you w

Sometime its really funny, for I have a great fate with bots...wherever I play a mmorpg, I see them. They exist everywhere and they can be in any mmorpg, I can say that I was really impressed by them, for they made so great effort and so many hardwork to program such bot because of wanted to own everyone in the game. I dont know how to describe this kind of people who likes to use bot to play their game...either they really loved this game so much that they cant afford to lose anything, or they really lazy bump not even want to use their finger to press the keyboard, or they really x99 busy to invest their valuable time to grind on their character lvl, or they have a really evil motive wanted to destroy the game. Any of them is doing no good to mmorpg, and many mmorpg has been destroyed because of them.

What is a BOT? Well a bot is a program to control your character to do automated task in game such as leveling, looting, pathfinding and so on. Its easy to see the bot because they repeatedly doing the same thing and they NEVER TALK human. Some of them will answer you by the preset dialog such as "Im busy" "Sorry" "F**k off!" etc so that others wont dist

I was having depression in this 2 days...I was confused if I was wrong to continue writing blog in my own way, becoz I see other people writing their articles in mmosite mostly related to games, and Im not. Im not really affected by anyone, but seeing with my owneye is really different.

So in a game blog writing things which is not game related is unnecessary? I start to doubt for this...

How should I write any if I dont have any to write?
Do I need just to write something about the game that I am playing recently? What will that be?
How Im gonna write anything about my game life if all of them is just about GRINDING? Tell me what mmorpg has nothing to do about grinding...I hate grinding and I think there is nothing interesting for me to tell in grinding life.
I can write a guide or walkthrough then? Well Im just a lvl35 character now and how do you think a lvl35 character can write anything about the wholegame?

So what should I write?..........

Seeing others writing their own game review, so I try it too. It was my first try to write a game review about Alone In The Dark, I look everywhere on the internet and I found it on the gamespot. Well I do really interested in this game's idea &q

After watched the preview of the latest horror game Alone In The Dark(PC version) which will be release on July 2008, I was very impressed by its gameplay and environment. At this time, this game really needs you to use your brain to play because it is not like the previous series, it makes a breakthrough in adopting the idea of "Real World Rule" into the game, which means everything in the game can happen like what can happen in the real world, making the gameplay even more "real and logic". For instance let me explain to you the detail of it by showing you inside with GC '07: Alone in the Dark Impressions picked from Gamespot:

It's clear that the team has attempted to make items in Alone in the Dark as interactive as possible. The first thing that was demonstrated was the inventory, which is presented by way of your character opening his jacket and looking down at his inside pockets*. From here, you can see items, such as spray-paint canisters, blood pouches, matches, glow sticks, and tape. By using these items together, you can tackle the dark environment in a variety of different ways. For example, you can crack glow sticks and carry them around with you manu

I have played many mmorpg, so I have more experience to know on how to play a mmorpg. Most of the people I see they play hard in their mmorpg, they can spend many hours on it and still gain nothing, they even tell me that one day can gain 5% experience is a very good result already and they are happy about it, so I think : wtf?! 5% experience a day is very good? still got 95% need to work hard to gain level up? if one day 5%, that means 95% / 5% = 19 days of grindwork to do then only level up? omg!

For me, I dont like to play so hard in mmorpg, because there is always a way to play easier in every mmorpg. Everytime when I play a new mmorpg, I have a habit to check all the detail that is available on their website, I used to research on each character ability and advantage, like what is their pros and cons, which one kills faster, which one easy to survives, which one makes money etc. Usually I will create 3 type of character at the beginning, a warrior, a creator, and a thief. Warrior is the best character to explore the world and monster tester, because they have attack power and they can tank, so the stat I put on them usually power, hp or defense. I use warrior to explore everywh

MMORPG - Another Side Of DREAM

Ever since MMORPG come out, it attracts explosive amount of people to play, and almost the whole globe of people in earth got involve in this evolutionary kind of game, because it is online, a world in which we can become what we have been dream about when child or mature.

What is MMORPG? It is called Massively multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game which large number of players can interact with another in a virtual world. What is RPG then? RPG is Role-Play, mean being someone else that different to the real world of yourself. In RPG, we can become any role of a fictional character and live in a fantasy world.

MMORPG is another side of dream...Thats right,I believe that no one in this world never have a dream,a dream that we looking forward so much,a fantasy world that only exist in our imagination. I remember the first thing I was dreaming so much about is Alice In Wonderland, when Alice follow the rabbit and fall into a fantasy world where everything never can imagine before. From her I starts to know fantasy,and imagination begins.

I never can stop my imagination. I always dreaming to become someone else, from a child which travel a great journey in fan

I was thinking this for few days...have u ever realize that playing mmo may be slowing down our reaction? becoz inside the game there may be alot of things, but in real life we actually just sit there using only our finger to press button and mouse click...

Years ago I was playing console game like playstation or sega. They are games, but I didnt find out that playing them will slowing down my reaction, instead my reaction is getting faster and sensitive. The type of game that I played mostly shooting game, aircraft shooting, puzzle adventure and action. I remember once there is a ball accidentally thrown by a boy towards me, but I can react very fast by avoiding the ball hitting my face, that I think was the result of kept playing shooting game and I find out that I can easily solve any complicate matter easily because I know how to find the clue and spot, which I think also a result of kept playing puzzle adventure game.

Things change, now we have new toy in our hand, that is MMO. I been attracted by MMO since 2002, that time the first MMO I played was Ragnarok Online, a very popular cute graphic game which still popular until now. Its totally different than console that characters

Solstice Online, or known as Xenepic Online, a new 2D like mmorpg that similar to Ragnarok Online(RO) or Pirateking(PK) Online, introduced by Outspark, which they have launch successfully Fiesta Online. I find this game very attractive to me because of its cute graphic (which is very similar to Ragnarok Online thats why I like it LOL ^O^) and interesting class system which have 4 types of class - fighters, mage, rogue, acolyte.

I play Solstice Online first is because I missed RO so much, so I thought may be this game is another RO for me. But I was wrong, Solstice is much more better than RO! At least what I found is that the skill effect is much better, more quest to do rather than RO is just few, and somemore the appearance of the character is much more fun, many costumes can change like fancy shirts, cool pants, pretty dress, shoes and cute headgears like sheephat, pinochio nose etc, that make this game more cuter ^_^ Not forget to say is here everyone can vending to sell their loots, not like RO only merchant can open shop :)

What I say is I feel this game is like Mix of RO and PK, it has the most similar graphic and class system like RO, but quest and environment is like PK. The
