New "Web Login" feature.

The Nexon announcement:

I wonder if this will bring anything against modding? It could just be a ploy to either save money in some form, or to bring in more advertising...

Any thoughts?

Spam. It is obviously fake.

SPAM??? They announced it. Anyways im concerned they may replace the client with all online app. Which to me means LAG. 99% of my modding is to make up for subpar computer/connection. Basically people with best connections will be able to play and those of us who squeak in may not be able to play well.

This may very well Kill most or all mods since we generally mod the client.

Nice one, sir. Too bad you just failed.

[redjoker5]

Are you stupid? I forgot how hard it is to photoshop something like this. And he didn't even do it right. That start game button looks medieval and the mabinogi page has gradient buttons, not that garbage.

This is a mabinogi page button





This is his fail, medieval button.

I've been looking through mabi page all goddam day and I don't see any announcements or anything. You would think this would be notified SOMEWHERE.

I would not be surprised even if they did make a start button from their page. They did it to Combat Arms. Though it did link to your Folder in the end. So either way, it is of no effect to me.
So redjoker, he might not be that far off. Though the end of modding? Not happening.

I took the link and news from the Mabinogi World Wiki. If it's fake, please go edit it and inform the Wiki staff that they've just been Nexon-rolled.

I'm sorry, but that looks ****** and fake. If it's real then great. But doesn't look like it to me.

[Theri]

Its right on Nexon's Mabinogi site, no reason to be a ********.



No update on the client end for the news points but if you go directly to the site the housing guide is out and this is in.

[Walmartbagger]

I'm just curious if this means the launcher we use now will be obsolete or will we have the option of either or?

Also what in the world is the difference anyway? o.o

[Theri]

Don't they use a similar method to launch another of their games? I hear that you can get around it and launch without going onto the site.

You sir, just won the ****** of the year award. *clap*

Though it did link to your Folder in the end.

This is all it does pretty much.
You still need to have the game installed obviously.
When you launch the game from the website, it just locates the game client on your computer and launches it for you.
In no way will it interfere with modding.

Please refer to the for more details.
Almost; if not all of their games use the Web Launch method.
I actually believe they require you to launch from the website to even play.
Meaning, you can't launch the client from the folder itself.

I hope this clears things up.

[fenrir2037]

Yup, there is still a launcher in your folder that you can still use. (Which I did for Combat Arms, ****** game anyways <_< ) I didn't see the point of having the web browser to start it. It did allow you to sign on the website and in game at the same time. However you had to manually exit the internet browser in the end. So pretty much a pain in the ***, is what it is. =/

It's not fake. Go to mabinogi's website and check for yourself. Also, what reason does he need to trick us into this. He's not going to gain anything.
