Nexon’s Mabinogi Connect live broadcast ran for 19 hours and 30 minutes on April 25th and 26th, 2026, far exceeding its scheduled end time to address all player-submitted questions.
How the broadcast evolved beyond its original schedule
The event began at Nexon’s Pangyo headquarters at 2:00 PM on April 25th with a planned conclusion at 10:00 PM. Developers chose to continue without a time limit after realizing the volume of player inquiries required more discussion, ultimately concluding at 9:30 AM the following day. This extension allowed the team to address approximately 2,900 pre-submitted questions across seven thematic categories including operations, character classes, and game economy.
What specific issues players raised during the session
Questions were organized into seven areas: Operations, Sacred Guard/Saint Bard, Arcana, Combat/Growth/Economy, Life Skills, Cosmetics/Kits/Business Model, and Other. Director Choi Dong-min and Content Leader Kang Min-seok answered every question, with particular focus on the future direction of the Sacred Guard class, where they co-developed an improvement plan with invited players in real time. The candid discussion format drew applause from the 75 players physically present at the venue.
How Nexon plans to act on the feedback gathered
Based on the diverse input received, the Mabinogi development team will implement new updates and detailed improvements sequentially through the second half of 2026. Director Choi emphasized the team’s heightened sense of responsibility to players, stating they will steadily implement feedback to deliver sincere updates and consistent fun. The broadcast served as a direct channel for players to influence near-term development priorities.
Why did Nexon decide to remove the time limit for the broadcast?
Nexon removed the time limit to ensure all player questions were addressed after recognizing the scheduled end time would not allow for complete discussion of the 2,900 pre-submitted inquiries.
What specific outcome resulted from the discussion about the Sacred Guard class?
Director Choi and Content Leader Kang developed an improvement plan for the Sacred Guard class on the spot through detailed coordination with attending players, which received applause and a positive response from the audience.
