A new year brings new experiences to Mabinogi

A new year means new experiences, and that seems to be especially true for Nexon’s Mabinogi. There’s a new event to take part in and a brand new pet package available. In addition to that, there’s also a hint at things to come.

The hint is most perplexing thing – it is a strange glyph (pictured at right). There’s no other information about it, other than an image. However, players are speculating that it is a sign that Generation 4 of the game is about to begin. The timing seems about right for a Generation change as well, when you think about it.

There’s also a Treasure Box Event going on again that will last until January 29, 2009. This means that when you’re fighting monsters, you may see them drop ordinary or premium chests. You may even see monsters also drop ordinary chest keys, which you can use to open an ordinary chest. Premium chests can only be opened with keys to the premium chest, which you can purchase for 700 Nexon Cash (70 cents) in the in-game item shop.

New pets are also a part of Mabinogi too, the black and white hedgehogs! Until January 29, 2009, you can get a Hedgehog Package from the Cash Shop for 6,600 NX ($6.60), not a bad deal since one hedgehog costs 4,200 NX ($4.20). An interesting thing about hedgehogs – if you’re in a party with friends fighting across Erinn and both a white and black hedgehog are presented, then both pets become even stronger than they normally would be. It’s a nice.
