If you were looking to play a little Mabinogi to kick off the new year, you might want to make alternate arrangements. Nexon has taken the free-to-play sandbox offline in order to deal with the recent spate of "malicious activity" going on in-game.
Mabinogi went dark yesterday, and Nexon says that it does "not have a specific time for the service to re-open." This is the second time in the past three months that Nexon has disabled the game, as the company dealt with a rash of unauthorized RMT issues and botting as recently as October of 2011. As per usual when MMO security issues crop up, the company has not released any details, saying only that "we feel that we have no choice but to take the game down in order to prevent any further malicious action."

Mabi just prolly not that profitable anymore
The game isn't getting any updates anymore It is past its prime Dev Cat made Vindictus
Dev Cat already finished the 10 promised episodes for Vindictus Dev Cat moved on to making Mabinogi2 which will have better graphics and physics then Vindictus
So yea I bet in the near future (a year or 2, earlier for non EU version) Vindictus might end up in the same shape like Mabi right now And Mabi despite being an awesome game is probably done for now ~

Mabinogi is 1 time frame
Mabinogi Heroes (Vindictus) plays itself BEFORE Mabinogi (a lot of these heroes are mentioned in Mabinogi itself)
Mabinogi 2 will be after the events of Mabinogi
Mabi2 will have better physics and graphics (joint system, creatures/characters will have kind of bones inside of them, making impossible hitboxes not possible awesome physics and better then Vindictus graphics on top of it) While bringing same awesome sandbox gameplay which Mabinogi had making it not just a game to wait for but making it one of the best games that will be coming out within the coming years Unlike Vindictus, Mabinogi was an open world, so the chances are big this awesomeness ll be an open world too

Nexon has brought Mabinogi back online, and the company tells Massively that "the issues that led us to temporarily disable service have been addressed."
The free-to-play sandbox was offline for nearly 40 hours last weekend, and Nexon will be compensating players with 5,000 NX (the company's cash shop currency), a two-day extension of VIP/Premium/Inventory Plus service, and a forthcoming double XP event. Nexon also tells us that players who were directly affected by the recent malicious activity will receive an additional 5,000 NX (10,000 total) and will have their lost items restored.
If you think you've been affected by the recent attacks, contact Nexon Support directly, and be sure to provide the following info when submitting your ticket:
account name
character name
character server
date of malicious activity
items missing/removed
name of malicious character (if available)
Finally, affected players should include the keyword MUGWORTS in their support ticket summary field to assist in filtering and processing.
