Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
NEXON Korea announced on July 23 that the MABINOGI ETERNITY PROJECT, the Unreal Engine version of the MMORPG Mabinogi, will hold an alpha test in Korea from September 3 to 6. It is the first test aimed at a large number of players. Applications run July 23 to August 12 at 23:59. Players experience early stages with newly appearing characters, with movement and hit feel improved from past trial play feedback.
The Eternity project replaces the engine of a 3D MMORPG that has run for more than 20 years. Mabinogi general director Min Kyung-hun released a message alongside the test announcement. The alpha build lets players experience the early stages with newly appearing characters, and movement animations and hit feel have been adjusted based on feedback from past trial play events. Head size can be adjusted within a range that keeps character traits intact.
NEXON Korea is treating the build as pre-completion and is asking for frank opinions on what works and what is lacking.
