Maginogi is an anime-style MMORPG based on Celtic mythology.

Mabinogi features several different aspects that most MMORPGs do not have.

Rebirth System

The rebirthing system is rather simple. Each character starts out at a certain age and with each week that goes by, a year is added to the character. After turning twenty, the character may be rebirthed, meaning having the option to alter his/her appearance and start back at level one with all his/her skills intact. Players tend to rebirth in order to gain AP faster and because, after a certain age, AP is no longer gained for aging. Rebirthing was originally a paid extra feature, but has since been made free of cost.

Skills


One of the features that makes Mabinogi unique is it skill system. Skills are upgraded through different usage for skills. For example, two ways to advance the Critical Hit skill include both dealing and receiving critical hits. Once a skill has reached a certain number of experience, it can be either upgraded with the required number of AP or it can be even further advanced with experience so that bonus experience is given to the player.

Combat

The game features a combat system unlike most Traditional MMORPG's in that the outcome of a battle is largely dependent on the players skill, and not just stats. Timing and strategy are key, as you do not continually attack an enemy once they are targeted. You can be interrupted during an attack, and left open for a counterattack from the enemy. You do not just land hits on each other back and forth until one dies, if properly planned you can kill the enemy without even being touched. An example of a strategy is to land a successful string of hits on an enemy, this will knock them back leaving you some space and a few seconds to act. Then you will follow up by preparing a combat skill such as Counterattack, which will then dodge their attack and attack back. This is only one strategy of many that can be made by using not only the Combat Skills, but Magic Skills to.
