If I recall correctly, Mabinogi is the MMO SMT:Imagine "ripped off" when it came to a lot of game design choices.

So if I had the free time to play an MMO I'd probably choose SMT Imagine, because the SMT world is amazing.

But if Mabinogi IS anything like Imagine, then it is probably a great game itself as well, because Imagine was awesome, even without the SMT world to back it up.
