How to download and install KR Test Client

Image
Since I've been told this blog is the #3 result for "KR Test Client" in google, I felt I should at least add some guide on how to get said client. 1. Go to KR Mabinogi's website: http://www.mabinogi.com/c3/ Note: You must use Internet Explorer . 2. Logging in is not necessary; you just need to navigate to the download page. Mouse over the computer picture and select the first button that comes up underneath it. Picture below. 3. Click the test server client. It's the second orange button there and has a gamepad with "TEST" written over it. Picture below ( click to enlarge ). 4. Begin download. 5. Install client when finished. Note: DO NOT install it to the same folder as another client, or else it will overwrite that client. Q. But won't it overwrite my CN/JP/NA/TW server install? Nope! Test server shouldn't cause any conflicts with the server you already have. This is because the Test server has a registry s...

Korean Lesson 02: Character Stacking

So, do you remember what this character sounds like, and how to type it? ㅁ It's 'm' and you type it by pressing 'a'. What character does typing 's' make? ㄴ This sounds just like an 'n'. So, m and n are right next to each other on the keyboard! Smart, huh? Hopefully they will be easy to remember. By the way, generally, the left-hand side of the keyboard is for consonants, and the right-hand side for vowels (you know, a, e, i, o , u, are vowels and sometimes y!). This makes typing much easier on the fingers than our english qwerty keyboard. On the home row, vowels start at the key 'h'. ㅗ This generally sounds like an o, like in ocean, opal, orange, lone, moan, etc. Look at this other character. ㅜ This generally sounds like a u, or double o, like in moon, book, dune. They look so similar! How can you ever keep them straight in your head? Well, if you think about how they look, both of them start with the same base...

Korean Lesson 01: The Language Bar

Well, there are plenty of guides on how to read Hangul, but very few integrate how to type in it. So, here goes my attempt to explain how! First off, unless you can already type it, you've got to set the right language settings on your keyboard. 1. Navigate: Start Menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Switch to Classic View -> Regional and Language Options. 2. Click the "Languages" tab and then Click "Details." 3. Click "Add." 4. Choose "Korean" in the drop-down box. Then press "OK." 5. Click the "Language Bar" button. Checkmark both options. 6. The language bar will appear in the top middle of your screen. I find that cumbersome, so, if you want, you can right-click your taskbar to put it there instead, next to your system tray. 7. You should see something like this: (ignore my systray stuff) 8. Click the EN and switch to KO when you want to type in Korean. 9. You also ha...
