Nexon America has announced that Mabinogi, their classic MMORPG, is celebrating its 13th anniversary in-game. The event, which starts on March 18th, will have players gather in Festia in order to play minigames, collect daily rewards, and play through new content. Anyone who wants to participate in the event has to meet with the festival host, Thirteen, in Festia. This will let them receive daily login rewards, 13th Anniversary Coins for Thirteen’s Shop, and Festia Entry Passes that can be used to play mini-games.
The minigames that can be played as part of the event include:
- Pop the Balloon: Upon arrival at Festia, players can visit Patriot’s limited-time booth and try to break the highest balloon-popping record. Players will receive Anniversary Coins and Festia Instant Prize Tickets for participating.
- Mysterious Balloons: Balune the Balloon Artist needs players’ help! Milletians will need to work with him to gather materials for more balloons and receive Instant Revive Balloons.
- Clobbermeister: Players can speak to the Clobbermeister Staff in Festia to join the mini-game and show their power. Participants are given 20 seconds to deal as much damage as possible to select punching bags. After the time elapses, players will be rewarded with a Festia Commemorative Gift Box and 13th Anniversary Gift Box.
- Cave of Trials: Milletians will meet with Duro the Trialkeeper and enter the Cave of Trials! Players will be challenged to defeat the monsters that lurk in each cave to advance to the next trial, but beware of the new mysterious boss that will be revealed at the final trial.
Kenny Chang, General Manager of Nexon America, commented on the celebration:
“It is humbling to be able to celebrate Mabinogi’s 13th birthday with Mabi fans around the world. Since Mabinogi’s inception in 2008, the MMORPG has grown tremendously in the gaming community and we’re happy to commemorate another wonderful and successful year with more content updates and rewards for all in the magical world of Erinn.”
