For the funnies.
Truly we are living in a dark age.Quote:
There’s one exception to the game's marry-who-you-want freedom, though: “However, because Elves and Giants oppose each other, an Elf character and a Giant character cannot get married.”
I find it funny that there are more male gamers on the internet, but there are more female-female marriages in this game. Makes me think there is some perverted roleplay stuff going on here.
The last statistic I read about Mabinogi was that there were more female than male gamers in there.Quote:

The Elves vs Giants thing isn't true anyway, they did away with that at the same time they allowed same sex marriage. The elves & giants became allies over a year ago.
It's really more because women are more objective oriented than men, and advancement in the game is done via checklist.Quote:

Plus it has fashion shows, cooking contests, weekly socializing banquets, sewing, carpentry, blacksmithing and all the other fun filled things that attracts a specific class of gamers beyond just the hack and slash and provides a lot of social opportunity.
I think nxk should relly follow suit with this in maple, I know a lot of players who would spend the money for this.
I would personally not mix maple and Mabi anymore than it is now with the chair thingies.Quote:

We'll probably see the same thing in Maplestory eventually. Too bad the current marriage system sucks regardless.
EDIT: To those who pom'd me, I'm sorry that you can't see it, but its true. The marriage system is terrible in every conceivable way compared to what it used to be. Wedding ring effects (which is what I bought my damn ring for in the first place, a permanent ring effect) were removed, APQ was gimped, Amoria was stripped down and oversimplified. Nobody bothers with the place anymore. Its dead. The Ascension/Jump patch was literally the worst thing to ever happen to the marriage system in Maplestory.
You wouldn't be wrong about that at all.Quote:

There is a stat boost whenever you're near your Hubby/Wife (albeit small, but still cool) and comes and goes within time.
..There's also the benefit of never having a "permanent Male/Female if you're married" situation pop up ever again. I was afraid of having that problem until they actually released the marriage option.
There are some inappropriate RPs, though. Ngl.
Maybe, maybe not.Quote:
