    Ah, but Mabinogi made it's money from the rebirth mechanics, not the outfits. In it, you could pay like $15 a week to start over from level 1, but with all your stats folded in. You got one free rebirth a month. The power gap between people who rebirthed every week and those that didn't was insane.

    Mab also made a lot of money selling pets that slowly became useless. Pets would produce resources as well as be companions, but they'd deplete over time, both in resources and HP. Nexon knew how to gouge their players like masters.

    It was $7 a week actually, you didn't need the prem card unless you were changing your look. And yes that was a terrible system that is thankfully completely gone from the game, now you get to rebirth after 6 days, regardless, and no sooner outside of pots that are usually gotten via events. And yes the pets I did mention, although my focus was moreso on the pets that did an aoe effect than the ones that give you herbs. I once ran into a player with so many aoe pets they literally could perm stun anything that can be stunned. It's silly.

    But we all know over there fashion is Mabi's real end game and for the brief moment gacha stopped happening they were rather cheap clothes.
