Mabinogi

Mabinogi has a few core storylines that provide background information on certain characters, but for the most part the game is tailored to the unique experience of the individual player. After creating a character, players begin the game in one of three places depending on their character's race. From this point, players learn how to use the combat system, beginning with woodland creatures as their foes. However, fighting isn't the focal point of Mabinogi, and players are free to immerse themselves in a fantasy experience by participating in activities such as cooking, composing music, and training animals. Ultimately, the choice of what to spend time on in-game is dependent on player choice.

Mabinogi has a live chat function, but swear words are automatically censored out.
