MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

Well, that's one data ingestion completed.
Probably about 3-5 more to go..

Currently, I am ingesting data from our PROD-WEB-OLD to PROD-WEB-NEW, the web services basically.
This handles stuff like guild list, housing board, visual chats, and any other web services that we utilize outside of the forum. This requires manual reconfiguration of each individual service, however.

After this, registration will be possible again and assuming it's all working well, I can start ingesting data from the game servers.

Seems that the web services are functional again; this means you are able to login and register on the forum again after we reflect the changes on the forum side.
More progress...

List of things to do has been narrowed down.

Aw, that's adorable! Thanks!

As for the next update: We've managed to utilize the 1Gbit link between our old and new servers to our advantage, so it should not be necessary for us to download 120GBs to our desktops, manually mount the filesystem, and extract the data that way. We can do a server->server transfer. This is much faster than what we had in mind before.

Right now, data is being moved at rapid rates. However, there's still a lot of data left to go.

Provisioning new machine right now - data has been transferred from the old server's data repository to the new server.

Once this machine is provisioned, I will have to reconfigure about every firewall in the chain to point to this new node instead of our old node.

After that's done, the maintenance is over....hopefully.

Currently in the process of re-configuring all of the firewalls and networking. Contrary to what it may seem, our internal network is a pile of spaghetti and has a lot of moving parts.
My job is to manage that pile of spaghetti.

It seems my firewall rules were successfully applied.
The server should be up now.

Unless players are going to seed it, this won't work.

You don't have to pay, look up how to bypass the limit.

Please open a ticket.

You need to download the full client download, not the launcher.

Update: The maintenance has been completed at 04:29AM 04/17/17 EST.
All servers are running normally.
Thank you for your patience.

Dear Milletians,

Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, Mabinogi Professional will be undergoing unscheduled server maintenance to address a critical issue during the following times:
07:50AM 04/17/17 to 02:00PM 04/17/17 (EST)

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Should be fine now, things were just initializing.

The packet loss seems to have subsided.

At 2:52 PM EST, we started detecting high packet loss on our backend infrastructure.
This packet loss seems to be universal amongst all of our monitoring systems, which isolates the problem to our back end server's network.
Currently on the phone with the datacenter, and seeing what can be done about resolving this quickly.
However, that is all of the control that I have over the situation. Nothing that I can do myself to resolve this, as it's not an issue with our systems.
This packet loss is severe and will most likely impede your ability to login and play the game.
Thanks for the understanding.

The file downloads work fine. There's hundreds of players who have had no issues whatsoever so I wouldn't say "no one can play it"

The installer is a self-extracting zip file, if you can't use the installer - use 7Zip or WinRAR to extract it.

214 is shipped with the launcher, but older versions did not used to be, so that's why you can download the launcher stand alone on the Downloads page.

If you've installed 214, you simply have to run the launcher and it will attempt to patch the game.

The launcher is quite unstable on lower end computers, so you may experience problems where it will stall completely and sit there doing nothing. Waiting longer will just waste your time, just close it and try it again. Repeat that until it works if you want. It shouldn't stall every time but if it's stalled once, it's got a high chance to stall again.

If you can't manage to get it to patch to 221 (latest version), just manually patch it - you can read our tutorial on how to do that here.

If you decide to manually patch the game, you will forever be unable to use the primary launcher again, so you will have to keep doing it every time the game gets updated.
To launch the game, you should use the alternative patcher instead.

If you try to login and get "Server could not be reached" - you failed to properly patch the game.

This server exists as an alternative to the operational disaster that is Nexon's server. We run this server to bring back the best times of this game, and then improve upon them. We want players time spent here to be enjoyable and satisfying, however thay does not necessarily mean things should be too difficult. It is true that we are trying to stay true to the way Mabinogi used to be, however Mabinogi isn't supposed to be "hardcore" or "easy". Unfortunately our big brother has taken the "easy" route, but that doesnt mean we need to take the "hardcore" route.

Just so you all are aware, even though we don't comment much on posts like this, we certainly hear all of your words.

I absolutely agree. People need to think about ways to remedy the problem in alternative ways that straight up removing the problem.
It's not a good idea to mess with the balance of the game in such a drastic way. You can argue that it's unbalanced, however you are still messing with the balance of the game by removing it outright. A lot of things have to be considered that most people simply don't even think about.

Do you realize how many dialogues there is in this game?
For one, Aura doesn't have nearly as many (and they are post-genesis dialogues too) completed.
Next, there's literally 50,000+ lines that need translated.
It would take years to do it by ripping them from Nexon's server.
