The following is an excerpt from my localization editing work on an April Fools’ day event in the MMO Mabinogi. This event had unique challenges, as NPCs appeared in the game as if they were player characters. I worked closely with the game’s producer and community manager to give the characters lines that would feel authentic to players, while still remaining true to the characters’ voices and personalities.
Players responded quite well to this event; below are some player comments from the game’s official discord.
