Dear Milletians,
Here we are in March, and it has already been a fantastic year for Mabinogi. Firstly, I must wish us all a happy 17th Anniversary! All of us have made strides this year in our own ways, making Mabinogi a comfortable home together. As we welcome the spring season, I want to take a moment to look back at some of our highlights from the past several months and share a few of my thoughts on what we can expect in the upcoming summer months, too!
We’ve been delighted to release many different content updates and events over the past year in Erinn. Fantasy Life Updates have encouraged Milletians to seek greater achievements in combat, fashion, and life. What are your proud achievements this year?
Did you craft your best weapon? Dye your favorite outfit? Tend to your Homestead or Moonlight Island? In my IRL Homestead garden, I've been learning a lot while sowing and planting. As I was planting radishes, tomatoes, and marigolds alongside each other, I couldn’t help but giggle while thinking of Ruairi, Tarlach, and Mari. Mabinogi is always on my mind, and I am grateful for it. It has given me the strength and courage to try new things, express myself, and be proud and hopeful for those around me, too. In Erinn, the Astrologer updates, the recent crossover event, and the Library of Secrets have all been met with such creativity and love. I hope these stories have made lasting memories for you, as they have for me. Fate Astrologer touched my heart deeply, and both using Astral Imaging and collecting cards have been a lot of fun—especially getting to share them with friends and the GMs! Meanwhile, the charming stories surrounding the Argontel Caravan reminded me of my early days in Mabinogi – spending time with friends, delving into dungeons, and exploring the world.
In the next half of 2025, updates focused on skill balancing and QoL for combat content will be introduced. Meanwhile, we will also be improving accessibility for various systems, including Partner pets, Party and Chat, and improving the experience of Guilds.
Do you have a goal you are working towards next, Milletian? As we grow and improve our talents, it is always important to remember that each new skill or interest is fostered by learning and strength, bolstering you to overcome challenges through trial and error.
With the launch of G26, we began Chapter 8: Winds of Fate and met Aine, Delga, and other new faces. This coming summer, we plan to release the second installment of Chapter 8, Generation 27! This update will introduce a challenging new dungeon, Bri Leith, which offers a new tier of weapons to empower the game's many talents. And speaking of, we have two new hybrid talents on the way: the Sacred Guardian and Explosive Vanguard Arcana, introducing new styles of play to Mabinogi by allowing players to specialize their role as the party's dutiful protector, or take to the spear with explosive finishers.
Doki Doki Island is a longtime favorite for Milletians and the Mabinogi Team. The island received a major revamp last year, with the scent of cotton candy trees in the Plaza of Blessing making for a vivid gathering place for meetings with friends both old and new. The stories from the event offer new perspectives and bring us closer to the world of Tuatha de Danann and to each other. We hope that by adjusting and improving this and other classic content, we can refresh the Milletian experience and continue to inspire self-expression. In the Summer, there will be even more events than usual, so I expect that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
And last but certainly not least, the long-awaited Guild Renewal is coming! While past technical challenges have caused a delay in bringing Guild updates to Mabinogi, we've been working hard behind the scenes to get everything ready and will be implementing several changes to the Guild system all at once. We're hoping these improvements will provide an immediate difference in how you manage and interact with your Guild, fostering connections with friends and guildmates to make Mabinogi a more social experience.
It’s always exciting to present all of these content updates to you, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings for Mabinogi and our community. Thank you for your continued support and dedication.
See you soon!
