Nexon Europe, makers of the sprawling Mabinogi free-to-play fantasy MMORPG, have just released the Uncharted Lands expansion that brings massive amounts of content updates to European players in one fell swoop. Uncharted Lands collates three years of Korean updates and two years of North American updates into one patch, culminating in the European Mabinogi client being brought up to speed a mere four months after its initial launch.
Included in the update are two new races (giants and elves), multiple new explorable locations (Connous, Physis, Courcle, and the city of Tara, among others), and flying mounts. Finally, social features such as the postal system, fashion and cooking contests, and activities including jousting and farming have been made available in the huge update.
You can learn more at the official Mabinogi website, as well as check out an expansion trailer after the cut.

This was a very interesting game. I had fun with it at first, but then I started to feel a bit bored by the repetition. Not that other MMOs aren't repetitive, it was just that it was like a bad City of Heroes in the dungeons.
The professions and the way the skill system works is cool. And combat is actually somewhat tricky and requires more skill than most MMOs - even from the onset.
This is a game that more AAA MMOs should check out and borrow some of the smarter concepts.

i agree brian, although i hated the pay model. The skill system and combat was fresh though.

The original payment model was good and can still be good after Nexon "dumbed it down" if not for the few "pay to win" items in the premium shop which have been added in the last few generation updates.
