Question of the Week
This week saw this introduction of color selectable horses. If you could add this option to any other Mabinogi pet, which one would you choose? What colors would you add to that pet and why?
It didn't really come as a surprise, but it's always great to hear how much Mabinogians love a new feature! Clearly the idea of customizing your horse color is a hit, but based on your responses, you want even more! Some of the responses to this questions ranged were obvious -- things like more realistic colors for animals and birds, bear colors that would let you simulate polar bears and the like. Others wanted to take advatange of Mabinogi magic to create the kinds of fantastic animals that could only be found in Erinn such as electric pink gryphons, black unicorns and one young woman who really seems to want a cotton candy sheep. Still, kudos for "thinking outside the box" goes to the person who realized how cool it would be to be able to choose your own patterns and colors for a flying carpet!
"There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice." - John Calvin, Erinn philosopher
Let’s see what some of your fellow Mabinogians had to say:
"I'd choose my favorite kind of pet, the snakes. They're all kinds of colors in the real world, and having a snake in bright green or pitch black would be nice. Snakes are elegant and beautiful in all colors, so why not?"– Jennifer C.
"I'd buy another kangaroo rat just to change their colors! I'm obsessed with those little guys, I've already got two. I'd also love to change it's main orange fur to different colors like pink or blue, maybe white! I'd buy like five more if that happened to match every outfit. Besides kangaroo rats are fun to play as and making them colorful and cuter is a plus!." – Nathina C.
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, hate me because my neon green mini bear just kicked your rear!"– Tanya W.
