New content, changes to premium services good news for Mabinogi players

Some exciting news was just released today by Nexon in regards to their North American version of the well known online game, Mabinogi. The final update of their online 'teaser' website known as Erinn Walker informed gamers of some changes to the premium game services offered in the upcoming expansion of the game, Generation 4: Pioneers of Iria. Also mentioned was an official launch date; February 26th, 2009.

Players have already been anticipating this new content, as G4 contains much to be desired. Two new races are being introduced to the game, elves and giants. A whole array of new skills also are introduced, including some specific to the new races. The land has also been expanded, to include a whole new continent to explore, including new dungeons and field bosses to challenge even the most advanced players.

The real sweet part of the deal however just came today with the announcement that many premium services will now be available to everyone for free. Characters who reach age 20 in the game will now be able to rebirth for free, previously rebirthing was only available to those with NX, and cost approximately $8.00 USD per use. This means players will be able to further expand their characters without the need for NX cash.

Players will also be able to receive, one time only, free basic character cards for both new races. This means any current players can add an elf and a giant character to their account for no additional cost. All that is required is to complete a few actions in-game with their current human character.

Included in the free package are the mainstream and event quests, transformation skills (paladin and dark knight), as well as use of spirit weapons.

Premium services such as Nao support and the additional storage system will keep their price tags, however young characters now get extended trials instead of the old 7 day restrictions. These services will be offered free to new players until a character on their account reaches a total level of 30.

Overall, this news brings nothing but smiles to anyone who enjoys their fantasy life inside Mabinogi.
