Installed game:Mabinogi.exe has stopped working the second I hit play now.
Clicked on shortcut:Even when I log in, it says the game hasn't been downloaded and I reinstall it twice.
Restart computer:When I try again, 500 internal server error for several times and then it moves back to denying the game has been installed.
Post for help:..........

Still wrestling with Mabinogi downloader. I figured out the problem.

1) My ISP blocks or at least throttles P2P communications. Even encrypting my downloads doesn't stop P2P downloads from forcing my connection to drop over and over.
2) Pando Media Booster, which Mabinogi uses to download to your computer, makes you download Mabinogi via P2P.
3) There is literally no way for me to use Mabinogi Downloader without PMB.exe. If I force it to quit, it immediately starts again unless I stop the download.

So am I stuck or is there a direct download link somewhere?

[Frumple]

So with all that said, here's the download link. Use the direct download link that's hidden below the giant button, as the giant button uses pando media booster to download the game (I think). I wouldn't call it malware, but it does basically seed a torrent for the client without your permission, which is a huge deal if you are on limited bandwith.

If you have download problems with the Downloader, or would prefer to get the game client the old fashioned way, click here.

No idea how I missed that. It's actually more sad that I spent 15 minutes googling for it when it was in the OP.

Also, I've gotten a furnace at my homestead, and soon will have an anvil as well!  They're actually better than any you can find throughout the world.  Dwarfy production is well underway.

DOUBLE-POST!

Friends list is working again, so communicating is a lot easier.  Steam group is still up, "DF - Mabinogi Chapter".

You'll have to dungeon a bit, but usually the levels are done against certain areas.  You do shadow missions for massive exp, dungeons for special loot and/or gold, and crafting can be done anywhere.  The biggest thing is that skills are done in specific ways.  You don't just +1 it like that.  You need to do things like smelt 30 iron bars and 10 copper bars to rank smelting higher.  So, you'll be practicing your preferred skills a lot, and if you want to level a skill you can focus on doing its requirements.  Additionally, the pure number of skills, different combat maneuvers, and weapon types can lend a whole different feel to gameplay.

Crafting can be grindy if you're doing it wrong.  Ore can be boring, as that's either using a metallurgy sieve to pick bits of rock out of the sand, or diving into a dungeon with a sword and a pick to harvest ore, defeat the ogre guardians, and come out to cast it all in the fire.  Group mining can be very fun, and we've been doing 3-5 person expeditions into ore-gathering and dungeon completion.  Weaving is one of the worst, though, as that involves a lot of sheep...  There is no greater boredom than endlessly sheering sheep.  You could get help though, I wouldn't mind donating some time to wool collection.

Biggest thing is, if we all tackle things as a group, and spend time bumping one player's crafting skills, then things go a lot quicker and a lot more fun.  So far we've been group-efforting rather well!

Biggest problem with shearing sheep for giants is it makes 'em look they're trying to violate the poor things. It's vaguely obscene, honestly.

[Girlinhat]

Your signature is relevant.

[Frumple]

Yes. Yes, it is.

I guess the Mabinogi answer to it is "Sheep."

[alexwazer]

I don't really plan to take up any craft just yet and I'm always looking for stuff to do. So I volunteer as B12's gathering bitch/whore/slave/cheesemaker-that-doesn't-make-cheese. At least while I have plenty of time to play.

[Girlinhat]

Migrant Lye Maker.  You are now Hauler #241.

[ein]

Yes. Yes, it is.

Too bad everything's gaelic; should be welsh~~ :b

[Singularity125]

Hm, you guys motivated me to reinstall this for the first time in forever. Though it's probably just the winter break boredom hitting. But I have a human and elf character from way back. On Alexina no less. I doubt I'll stick with this too long, but we'll see. The human is named Xandak, the elf, Theninven.

"You last played Mabinogi at 20:00 on 2/18/2010." Damn that's a while ago. xD

[Girlinhat]

Hop in the steam group if you can, and we'll see what we can do!
