The following is affected by this patch:

The Panda pet will no longer be available.  If you already have purchased a Panda card, or have a Panda pet in-game, it will remain unaffected.  However, after this patch, you will no longer be able to purchase Panda pets in the Premium Shop.  So, if you want a Panda, better get it fast!

The following 5 pet types which were missing from the pet creation screen are now available for creation once again.

- Japanese bobtail
- Dalmation
- Silver fox
- Golden Retriever
- Light Russian Blue

Battle skills at 100% training can now be upgraded past level 6.  (This fixes a bug introduced in G3S1 where skills could not be upgraded past level 6 if they were at 100% training.)

]]> http://voicesoferinn.com/archives/5/feed 0 Hello world! http://voicesoferinn.com/archives/1 http://voicesoferinn.com/archives/1#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:55:16 +0000 admin http://voicesoferinn.com/?p=1 Welcome to Voices of Erinn, my new podcast about the wonderful world of Mabinogi.  For those uninitiated, Mabinogi is an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) developed by Nexon, a Korean game studio probably most famous for their MapleStory 2-D side scrolling RPG.  Mabinogi is a very innovative game in many ways.  Its combat system is turn-based, and requires more strategy and planning and using of skills, special moves, etc. than a typical MMO.  There are many things you can do in game besides fighting and exploring dungeons; a variety of Life Skills are available that you can use to craft various in-game articles, including clothing, armor/weapons, potions, and more.  But most of all, it is absolutely FREE to play.

Sounds interesting?  You’ll need a Windows PC (Or an Intel Mac capable of running Windows using Boot Camp) to play.  Your machine doesn’t have to be the fastest in the world (a P3 with an older Nvidia or ATI graphics card will do).  More information on the game, and a link to download the game client, are available at the Mabinogi website.
