Mabinogi is more than a game.
Mabinogi really is an alternate life (Socially)
Without Mabinogi, finding friends, a lover, and having a chance to interact with other people will be limited. It's becoming more of a social program to most people.
I met my girlfriend in a MMORPG called Ragnarok when I was in the Philippines. And coincidentally, she lived very close by (Like 3 houses down the street .-.) Me and her have been together since 2008. Now, were holding this 6,700 mile long distance relationship. (Visited her 2015 of July)
For me, Mabinogi is a hobby. Not the game itself, but the activities I do in the game which is making/transcribing music.
This game literally gave me skills as a musician, making/transcribing music is probably the only thing I do most of my life. Without this game, it would have been harder for me to gain more knowledge and interest in music. (I'm not gonna lie, but the books about music in Mabi are pretty usefull, I copied the whole darn thing.)
Okay, Enough with the personal stuff
If it didn't exist, I would have been playing Steam or Ragnarok again.
