Greetings Mabinogians!

The Sword of the Gods has arrived! What do you think of the latest update? That was our qeustion of the week as we found out what aspects of the new update your fellow Mabinogains liked best. We also take a look at the new Griffin pet (and get a review of it on the forums) highlight some of the new skills unveiled in the update and get up close and personal with our food in the new cooking dungeons. This is also the week where we show you how to get an awesome Mabinogi prize just by throwing water balloons and ask you to share what you did on your summer vacation in Erinn. Check out a break down of what was announced this week and remember, red meat is not bad for you, blue-green meat is bad for you!!

Question of the Week


The Sword of the Gods is here! With a slew of new features, skills, and storyline, it has something for everyone! What is your favorite part of this update?



Wow. We had a feeling that the Sword of the Gods update would be popular, but we hadn;t expected this kind of response. According to the Facebook answers to our question of the week, there pretty much wasn't an aspect of the update you didn't like! The Cooking Dungeon and the new Griffin pet were big favorites, of course, but we pretty much expected that. What came as a surpirse was how many people told us they loved the new dances and the new emotes! Well, when the world Erinn becomes your alternate life, it's the little things that let you interact with your neighbors and forge new friendships that are really special.  

"Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie." ~ Jim Davis, Erinn philosopher

Let’s see what some of your fellow Mabinogians had to say:

"I wanna be the very best. That no one ever was. To Blast them is my real test, to freeze em is my cause. I will travel across the land, blinding all in sight. This Royal alchemist is one tough guy, with crystals by his side! Alchemy! "– Vincent C.  

"My favorite part by far is the inclusion of the Cooking Dungeon. I mean, how often do you get to cook food by KILLING it? Well, that applies to most foods, but there's a minigame made out of this. It's one of the best features of the G11 patch, right up there with the new mainstream scenario." – Oscar N.
 
"Guild Halls are one of the best ideas. Our guild can now choose to meet at the hall we have for a meeting on the future of the guild. Now gestures will also have a big role in voiceing opinion. Those who also typed in guild chat can now have a more imposing appearance. Still, you can lead a horse to water but can not make 'em drink."– Ethan C.
