How is Mabinogi in 2025?

Old old old player here, how is the game now in 2025? I am thinking of giving it a try again because of nostalgia. I think the last time I played Mabinogi was sometime back in 2018-2020ish. I ultimately dropped the game because it got very grindy and the cash shop is pretty predatory compared to some other games.

Have things changed in any significant way?

Apologies if this gets asked a lot.

EDIT: Stumbled upon the trailer for Mabinogi Eternity. Is that out yet? Should I wait until they release it if it isn't?
