I've been playing since closed beta.
But my point is, other than client-fixed ****, like the UI, pretty much almost everything else can be emulated on a non-official-leak server.
You want the old combat? Done.
You want the old quest line? Can do.
You want the old whateverelse? Sure, why not.
Personally, I prefer the new UI over the old one.
G13 has pretty much all of the content and balance from the original developers. What you're talking about, I assume, is aura which is very incomplete but also promising.
If the G13 Japanese version gets leaked it would be easy to remove all of the new content that made players overpowered. After G13 that would be much more complicated to do. IMO the 3 main issues with mabinogi are:
1) Lag. Most players have to play on California servers with over 100 ping, when its a game designed for 10 ping players.
2) Mabinogi wasn't carefully balanced. Players are too powerful and it lacks a sense of achievement.
3) The PvP after G13 was pretty much ruined. It wasn't perfect beforehand because they didn't allow rulesets like the duel arena in runescape(this is something that could be added in a private server), but as long as someone didn't use potions or transform it was balanced. Now its always broken.

Nothing would change even if a private server would be created, the game was poorly balanced even before G13, Pleione Engine been **** since the start, nothing can change this, one of the reasons most of the Veterans quit the game, and those that didn't quit are slowly backing off and will eventually quit aswell, Mabinogi is a dead animal that people should stop poking with a stick, be on the current live version that is slowly walking to its downfall and the private servers that never actually picked off because the original was **** to start with.
The game had a good concept, DevCat/Nexon ****** up, move on.

A private server would easily fix everything, because the balance isn't hard to fix, pay2win **** isn't hard to remove, and servers can be placed in different regions and be labelled as such. (or even channels in the same server in different regions)
As for the pleione engine being ****, its really not. The client shipped with the private server should come with something like abyss that enables multi-core processing, disables nagle's algorithim, and (optionally) gets rid of or reduces the stupid high polygon models that were recently added.
Mabinogi is literally only a **** game as long as nexon runs it
Looking for Mabire team 07/17/2015 - Mabinogi - 2 Replies Hello,
I own the server files that were used to run Mabire.
I let Tom(Orbay) be the manager but he couldnt handle it, still he did a great job.
Im looking for the people who improved the files since I'm expecting to open a server in a month or so.
If you know them or think you have chances to become one, please send me a private message.
Thank you
