Mabinogi is an MMORPG set in the fantasy world of Erinn. Mabinogi offers a multitude of skills to develop and a generally high level of diversity among players, skills, and environments.

The game engine features cell-shaded graphics, which enhance the anime-looking characters.

Mabinogi's gameplay is like most other MMORPGs . It does, however, offer some options uncommon to most games. The player is not limited by any class (except the character's race), but is instead free to level up any of the different skills available. The combination of skill choice, age, items and other variables such as user title and physical constitution is what indeed makes up the character. Users can also use amusing facial expressions as emotes. Also you can do other things that are basically mini games such as fishing, herding, applying for a part time job, exercising if you get over weight, and sitting around campfires and sharing food.
