I first played this game after I saw an ad for it on the back of some anime convention magazine. And it was the best decision middle schooler me made back then. I got my brothers into it and we loved the game, we cherished it. We three kids all joined a guild, participated in the Paladin vs Dark Knight battles in the mountain, we got better at combat, learned crafting, cooking, etc. But a lot of those memories were shared with our grandma, who lived with us at the time. She would reminisce how our characters woodworking, cooking, setting up camp, reminded her of life back in the Philippines. Her and grandpa would laugh thinking the game took place near the old plantation they came from. And it only inspired us kids to keep crafting, keep farming. This tune would was what stuck in our grandparents' heads at the time, likening it to a lullaby. Then the updates poured in. And we started playing the game less. Life got more busy. High school came, and my life changed forever when my baby sister was born with Apert's. When she was little, I would hold her in my lap while I played Mabi, only crafting or going from place to place. And further, I would play Mabi less as life kept changing. My sister's surgeries meant she required my 100% attention while recovering while our parents both worked fulltime jobs. And the tune I often used to lull her to sleep, hopefully help soothe the post-op pains, was this. I didn't realize I have not touched this game since my grandparents past a couple years ago(they went to the Lord on the same day, only an hour apart.) My siblings too have grown out of this game, but despite the changes it has gone through, it gave us memories, stories we can't make elsewhere, and a joy that just makes this game unique even while we look forward to other games. I've gone as far as learning the chords so I can play the tune myself on guitar, because the stories we wrote while our grandparents were still here, and the stories they told us in that short time, are too valuable to me.
Wow.. those feels really suckerpunched me. That's the most touching thing I've read all day. And it goes to show, games aren't just a "waste of time"... they're cherished memories and connections you'll always remember...
The most impressive thing is this whole games soundtrack was done by one single person basically. Most music writers make 10-maybe 20 songs this guy did 400 songs in a short amount of time. Impressive 😎
I played a lot of Mabinogi when I was younger. I could hardly be considered powerful at the time - between my rebirths, I was likely only in the mid 200's or 300's. I'd played with two people I'd met at the time, and grew to be close friends with, for about a year and half (maybe more). I spent a lot of my time trying to track down a certain map in the game, probably from an event that ended, which I'd encountered when I was younger than I can even remember, until then. The times I spent with them, and the people I'd met afterwards - of various nationalities, genders, and in game races - are probably some of the best memories I have. Moving on from them and doing my best not to dwell on them is tough when I hear songs from the game. A few days after the updates this song and image come from were implemented, I decided to return to the game - to reminisce, and to see how the game was doing. Hearing this song and seeing this image when I did...hit close to home. "Looking at a land of things that no longer exist, wishing they could come back." That was what echoed through my mind, as I logged into the game. Revisiting a lot of the soundtracks today, I've learned that a large portion of the game is dead, and many of its players play it mostly for the outfits, rather than what used to be its main selling points. I suppose it's good it is, in at least some form, still alive. I've been listening to a lot of the music again in the past few days, as of the time I write this, and I considered going back. But I don't think I will - it's better to preserve my memories of the game as they are. Of course, I don't even know if anyone will ever see this, but if someone does - I wish you well. No matter what happens, this game will always remain precious to those who made bonds with others during its heyday. And I hope we can all experience another point in our lives - preferably in reality - where we can make those types of bonds once again.
I feel your feelings, friend. However, hope for a world of things that don't exist is a strange thing. You could do that, or you could also do the opposite. Hope like this keeps it alive, even if only in one's heart to pass on to another someday. This, too, is a beautiful thing. As is the want to preserve it on a worldly basis; to create something with the same feels, that won't wither and die.
Wat I grew up playing Mabi with my brother, and when he finally had to go to school and leave me alone... I would die a lot in the plains of the giant wolves. One group found me, saved me, and let me join them... I still remember the days I sat at the computer laughing and gaming for hours. Getting to have fun with people I have never met, and becoming a leader when I myself IRL am weak. Mabinogi is a Second Life game, and even though it isn’t as lively as it once was, I still return there... June 3rd they are merging 3 of the servers to create Nao Server. I hope that you can come and join me for this "rebirth".
This is beautiful. And I can relate almost entirely. You should hop back on though, there are a lot of people in it for fashion, but a lot of us still play the game for what it is at its core. :) I’ve been playing on and off since G2, and whenever I take a long break from the game I feel a small part of me feeling empty. Not because of the game but because of the memories that I have of it.
This game started my Streaming career, I owe it a lot. And this song is the reason I started playing the game in the first place, sat on first login for 30 mins just having it on repeat. Never forget
I miss my old friends from mabinogi. I met the coolest people. Eventually life happened and we grew apart. I still had their Skypes and all that but we just hardly spoke. Before I quit back in 2013. I met my best friend. We still play games together and honestly I thank mabinogi for the memories and fun times and giving me the chance to meet the coolest people I’ve ever known. Btw we started playing Mabinogi on mobile together haha. Good times.
As much as I love the original theme way more, I feel like this song captures the spirit as Mabinogi equally as well. The mystical nature of this game has mostly evaporated and left behind somewhat of a somber shadow of its former self, but there are still many more adventures to be had and stories to be told. It's not nearly the end yet.
Listening to this makes me remember all the fun times I had playing mabinogi. I made so many friends who had helped me in the journey and gave advice for the journey I will have during life, and it’s a shame because most of these people had quit so I became lonely. I met wonderful and bright people who were fun to be around, most of them surprisingly my age. I haven’t returned for almost a year now, I plan to go back but I have to focus on my studies. I wish all those people I met a farewell and good luck on their journey in life.
I got a little sad story with this game. A while back i was playing fairly regularly, and I wound up making friends with a small party of people I made a guild with. We had our good times, and then I moved out on my own irl. I said "I won't log-in for a while because I'm going to need a few days to orient myself, if i don't come back i probably died lol." and then I ran into a ton of problems with the new home. As I was sorting things out days became weeks become a couple months and at that point I just didn't want to play out of guilt. I finally logged in almost half a year later to find that my small guild had totally disbanded. Nobody had logged in for quite some time and there's a slim but real chance they legit think i died. After that, i never wanted to play again. In hindsight I'm should have gotten some contact info or perhaps taken just a few days off to meet up in-game, but it's all ancient history now.
Yeah same here but it was minecraft, it was a creative server and everyone spoke freely, due to there not being any private chat plugins so everyone was close. Eventually the owner drastically changed the server and i stopped for a bit ( exams) once i returned there was no one left that i knew. Eventually i stopped again and the server shut down.
I had a friend who I told we would play soon when I was 12 years old, and then lost my login info so I log in and get a message that says "aww yeah we can meet and play all day
@@soujisetaisking3134 Same man, I found notes from all sorts of people years ago. People I traded with, friends I confided in, and a whole lot more. Then I see my friend list and how everyone is offline. Time really just passed me by like that.
As a new player myself (played on and off since 2019, recently came back), I get a sense of nostalgia from this oddly. I hope one day Mabinogi gets even livelier!
Take it from someone who played from 2013 to early 2021: the game is not going to get any livelier anytime soon. The majority of the playerbase has moved on to other games, like Final Fantasy XIV.
I remember all those years ago, signing up during the very early days of G1, made a lot of friends, and lived life as an adventurer, traveling around, I didn't do many of the quests, at the time due to not having many folks to help me out, still play it on and off, but when ever I do, its like my memories come back when I hear this song.
I really wish I had better memories with this game than I actually did. There was another MMO I used to play called Freerealms, and I joined Mabinogi some time after Freerealms shut down. I was looking for something to fill that void and stumbled upon a post by a former Freerealms player that mentioned mabinogi. When I made my first Mabinogi character, I made an elf. From the start, a lot of people didn't want to help me because elves (at the time, idk if it changed) had the worst stats. I was lucky to run into a guild that helped me out and welcomed me with open arms. They donated items, helped me through dungeons, and more. For a little while, I felt as happy as I did back in Freerealms. Until, a couple weeks later, the guild disbanded entirely. A lot of my time playing the game after that was spent playing alone. That was, until, I met a player during that weekly ballroom event (forgot what it was called, but I remember it giving EXP, which is why I went). He taught me more of the basics, and we grouped together every day until I was strong enough to finish the first advent quest chain. The storyline surrounding the Goddess and formors still holds up to this day, and it's one of my favorite quest chains in any game, period. Sadly, that player turned out to be a bit of a creep. I won't go into detail, but he said and did a lot of things that made me uncomfortable. Because of that, I uninstalled the game. Life went on, and I eventually made other friends in other games. After a really bad falling out with one such friend, I decided to give Mabinogi another chance. It was the height of the pandemic and I didn't have much else to do. Again, the storyline and fantasy feel of the game drew me in. I played for about a week and a half, and the game seemed a lot emptier than when I left it. Even worse, I encountered another creep that sent me uncomfortable messages. It's just really sad, knowing that if I joined the game a few years earlier, I probably would have had a better experience.
I can say i got helped by Mabinogi, It's the day i feel lonely as i alway be and then i stopped by this game, when i first hear the login song it's this song made me cried for i can feel so warm and not lonely...i had depression so far and it's better by Mabinogi (My english language also better by Mabinogi haha from who can't even talk)
I met my bestfriend playing this game. 11 years later and he's still my #1 homie.
I first played this game after I saw an ad for it on the back of some anime convention magazine. And it was the best decision middle schooler me made back then. I got my brothers into it and we loved the game, we cherished it.

When she was little, I would hold her in my lap while I played Mabi, only crafting or going from place to place. And further, I would play Mabi less as life kept changing.

The graphics maybe dated, but I love everything about this game. EVERYTHING.
Its not outdated its HERALDIC. You want graphics play vandictus watch them boobs roll.

and most of them are actually amazing tracks. Hanstone (the musician's name) is a brilliant mind!

I gotta say I didn't really understand how to play mabinogi but I really enjoyed the music inside of the game
You just lived life, bro... You just lived life.
Indeed it is. Best song in mabi imo

The music is what stuck with me most over the years. Beautiful
For me, this music is like an album. Many memories of being with precious people remain in this music, in this game.
I remember all those years ago, signing up during the very early days of G1, made a lot of friends, and lived life as an adventurer, traveling around, I didn't do many of the quests, at the time due to not having many folks to help me out, still play it on and off, but when ever I do, its like my memories come back when I hear this song.
Brings back so many good memories. I really need to get a new computer so I can get back on Mabi.
Chaser John Doe same im waiting till i upgrade. Then back to my char.
I finally got this music sheet! I cannot wait to play this song like that lyrical sound
+cho hyung seok do you mind sending it to me :D thanks
can you send the music sheet please~
Never gets old... t_T

Music is what I have always loved in this game.
as lonely as it feels to play now i still have fond memories of the game and its music
Love thos so much. It has been my favorite piece of music for the past year. And yes I do play Mabinogi
Where you spend 80m gold for a rare item to get that juicy +1 extra strength. ahh yes, good times.
I always feel so bad for ruairi
he asked for most of the things that happened to him honestly
wish i could hear a story from my grandma again
I still listen to this song because of you Jillian i hope you see this one day 💕

good song for being billions of years old
It make a growed man cry that it's dead
edit that monile version
Maybe I am mistaken. I remember this music and I think it should be in 2015 or 2016. All right.
legend of neverland?? everybody?
I don’t regret spending over 5k on this game tbh, even tho i quit
Is this version a drama version?
I really which they would revamp this game. Keep everything the same except the graphics.

can anyone tell what kind of piano is playing this song?
+Underscored Gamer Sounds like a Steinway concert grand to me.
+Drake Blue if that's true it might be hard to replicate normally, since the song seems to be in G flat major
Underscored Gamer You are correct, it is in Gb Major. And while it may be hard to replicate, it certainly isn't hard to make sound good.
:)
+Drake Blue very true, but from a writing stand point, knowing what piano it was helps with transcribing. Thanks a bundle.
Underscored Gamer No problem!
Does anyone know where to get the midi file for this?
mobile version
Dunbarton..
dap raid
Can I get the MIDI file for the piano?
if you open the game of this song you will hearing this song.
