Korea-specific

As of August 1, 2008, the South Korean version of the game has terminated all Premium Services, with the game's 2-hour time limit per day for non-paying users removed. To replace the services, two packages have been released: the Inventoryplus Kit and the Mabinogi Premium Pack. As a result of this change, any feature related to Mainstream Quests or Spirit Weapons is no longer dependent on whether the user has Premium Services.

The Inventoryplus Kit is available at 1,400 won for 7 days ($1.44) or 5,500 won for 30 days ($5.66). It is much like the old Extra Storage Service, containing the following features:

• Double the Bank Inventory
• Ability to Share Bank Inventory between Characters on the Same Account
• Personal Shop and Brownies usable
• Item Bag usable

The Mabinogi Premium Pack is available at 2,500 won for 7 days ($2.57), 9,900 won for 30 days ($10.18), or 25,000 won for 90 days ($25.71). Its features include that of the Inventoryplus Kit's, as well as:

• Guild Creation & Administration
• Housing
• Nao's Birthday Presents
• Nao's Birthday Presents for 20 Year-Old Characters
• Premium Gestures
• Additional Battle EXP Bonus (+10%)
• No Camping Penalty
• No EXP Loss via Revive in Town

Nao Revives are now offered as Nao Soulstones, purchasable through the Item Shop. Three are provided for free upon creation of a new character.

Players are no longer able to skip G2.

Character System 2.0

Along with the termination of Premium Services, the Character System has been revised. Originally, rebirths used to be allowed only once every three weeks. Now it is possible to rebirth once per week. Free rebirths are also allowed once the character has reached age 20, but the character's looks cannot be changed, and the location the character was originally at will remain the same (e.g., unable to meet Tin).

These changes apply only to player characters (Human, Elf, Giant), and not to pets.

Also, leveling requirements were adjusted so that leveling is approximately 2.5x faster than it used to be.
