What to expect from Mabinogi!!!

Originally posted by Uchocobo.  I came across it and have read over it a few times.  It's really great info for those of us that didn't experience other more advanced versions of the game and kind of outlines what to look forward too.  This is basically the way the original game was updated through Generations and Seasons.  We have a mix right now so it definitely won't go along the same path but you can still see all of the features that should be added over time.
