It is about profit. Would that be strange? Nobody will put their own out of pocket money towards hosting a mmo for others to play for free. Not mentioning a choosing a good server with low ping, cost of obtaining the server files, and risk of being sued.
Who says nexon isn’t about profit too? They’ve stopped making good content for mabi and instead had only been adding poor anime contents and the never ending million types of new gachapons. Honestly, I think the current mabi(I believe it is G19 already) sucks. This being a more traditional old fashioned version of mabi, is much much better.
I’ve tried both aura and this server. (Tho only a little bit so I am not an expert in either one) From what I’ve seen, I suspect this is a fully playable official version of the server. Aura on the other hand, I have the feeling that it is more of an experimental product or a “learning experience” rather than trying to become the real deal. In other words, aura is more suitable for playing/messing around with or “learn to developer a server app with c#”. Looking at the commit history, the only person really contributed to aura was exec. He is a really skilled dev. One dev can write a “pake” or a memory patcher easily, but not a whole mmo server. Well, maybe possible for some games such as latale where you just spam skills and button mash. But for a dynamic game that is full of content like mabi, I don’t think so.
Now, comparing this with aura, this probably has the following items fully working and same as official version: All skills, mainstream quests and side quests, pets, all monster AI, dungeons/SM, misc. configs such as exploration, monster/chest drops, misc. game features such as hot air balloon and ant hell. Etc.
Does Aura have any of these fully working or at least working to a playable extent?
I just think mabi should have a fully working pserver and i'm glad one finally came out.
