Dunbarton Adventurer's Association, May 7, 2010
Greetings Mabinogians!
Welcome to the first issue of Erinn Weekly, the new bulletin for the Dunbarton Adventurer's Association. Our goal with Erinn Weekly is to help you get the most out of your fantasy life. This week, Mabinogi goes to the birds. Specifically, Mabinogi is going to the owls as everybody is all excited over the new owl pets along with some other exciting game updates. There's a new dungeon event to take part in, we announced some winners of the Advent of the Goddess event and offered up some cool new things in the Premium Shop. Check out everything that happened this week in Erinn and always remember that reality is a crutch for people who can't handle fantasy.

Question of the Week
What do you think of the Owl Pets?
This week saw the introduction of the owl pets to Erinn. While the practical aspects of the owls seemed to attract a lot of attention (the Eagle Owl has an impressive 6x9 inventory while the Snowy Owl sorts a 7x9), most adventurers are more attracted to the bird's beauty, intimidating looks and the fact that they enjoy sitting on your head! While more than a few people on our official Facebook page mentioned using the bird to fetch items or as a combat pet in dungeons, far more seemed more content to just stand in the middle of town with an owl on their head looking awesome.
"A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw, the less he spoke; The less he spoke, the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?" -- Erinn proverb
Let’s see what some of your fellow Mabinogians had to say:
"These owls look cute and deadly at the same time. Also, storage space. Gotta have storage space. Oh, and the sitting on head part is also awesome. I can see myself standing in town waiting for people requiring my enchanting services with them perched on my head...suddenly their appeal has gone up to me."– Philip O.
"The owls make want to sing-a. About the Ewec-a and the Alban Heruin-a and the Alban Eiler-a. They make me love to sing-a." – Jasmine B.
“I love the Eagle Owl, I bought one the day of the update and I must say it's pretty beast. All basic magic spells, amazing speed (For an Owl.), and great inventory. Not to mention the head mounting feature. I plan to use it as a combat/storage pet, always a great combo!”- Garrett E.
