Do You Care WHO You Marry on MS?

I'll marry whoever; I'm only in it for the apples (Though a hopeless online crush has persuaded me into marrying them before). I wouldn't, however, just marry some random person I met through a Smega. That's just weird, and is also an easy way to get yourself jipped out of $25.

Interact... with people... on maple? BLASPHEMY!

But in all seriousness, the only friends I had that I would have even cared to marry on MS have quit so that killed any hope of me even thinking about doing the APQ (I seriously have no one on almost any of my buddy lists on any of my characters that even play anymore). If I ever did get an uncontrollable urge to APQ, I would end up just taking my IRL friend's account (he uses female characters and stopped playing) and just use one of those.

So yeah, all in all, to answer the question, yes it matters and I'm pretty well strict with it.

Wow. It's all about the money isn't it. From the splitting of the ticket cost to marrying mules, even G.I.R.L.s and ring breaking, every aspect is focused on the money.

Not for everyone.

I got Maple-married to my IRL fiance the day weddings were released. We even stayed up the extra couple hours during the emergency server check just because we were so excited to get married. We are both poor college students, and our real wedding is nowhere in sight. Having a small "ceremony" in MS was really, really sweet, and it meant a great deal to me at the time that at least our virtual characters could be married when we didn't have the money to be married in real life. Having the little glowing star hovering over our heads, as small (and irritating to other people) as it was, to me was a way to say, "he's mine" to the rest of the Maple world.

I should probably say that I have four characters who are married in MS. Three of them are married to my fiance's characters; the other is a mule who is married to a very close and trusted friend in the game. He wanted to marry someone who he could trust enough not to break the ring under any circumstances, and had no qualms about paying for the entire wedding.

I really don't have a problem with people marrying just for APQ. It's a mutual agreement with mutual benefits so let them do what they want with their money. In the long run I'd say it's a much better investment than $25 worth of gach anyway.

tl;dr: Yes, it matters to me who I marry in MS. If I'm paying for the wedding, I'll only marry my fiance's characters. If the other person is paying, he/she has to be a trusted friend. No strangers plz.

I find online GAME relationships to be the stupidest thing to ever be thought up. ~_~ The only reasonable relationship I can see on a game is if they are a couple in real life. For gods sake.. if you're trying to find a mate on a kids game.. you've got a problem. Go to match.com or eharmony.com for gods sake..

And yes I can understand if you are really good friends with someone of the opposite sex in the game and you marry them... but if you try to make something out of it and start with the "omg i love you hun" or "goodnight babe" type of phrases, you've gone too far.


Just my opinion

In MSEA marraiges are taken kinda seriously... No one marries off his/her character off to a mule or something. Though MSEA players are sick... Most smegas say "F> horny, sexy, cashy and active gf" or "MMS session at cc20 rm20" MMS stands for matchmaking session. Lol. I've known my Maple wife for about 6 months now. And i keep in contact in real life thru text messages. So, yes, i guess i DO care.

Though we both quit and hardly ever APQ, my girlfriend and I are married, and I don't think either of us regret it. If I didn't have someone that I consider my actual girlfriend, I would have married two of my own characters to prevent stupid divorce drama. I personally think Maple marriage is a very solid investment of real money to gradually make a lot of mesos; it's one of the best deals in cash shop. So, marrying someone not completely reliable is not really a good idea.

I married a friend that I knew in real life. I wouldn't marry someone I couldn't trust to not break the marriage. And for me, maple marriage was the best investment of mesos used to get NX through the MTS. Zero real life money spent.

 Have fun w/ the wall of text. ^^

1. Must be a "girl" playing a guy character or a "guy" playing a girl character, or must never mention gender. I don't want to know.
2. Must hate or dislike something about me, preferably everything. There will be no Maple Story relationship or anything similarly insulting to myself.
3. Must never use spouse chat. There are enough chats.

Looks like... you don't care then? "Must never use spouse chat...?"
So therefore, marriage to you is not really a friendship, it's merely a joint between two people who want to utilize the system to farm apples. You want to stay strangers w/ your spouse...?

Must NOT talk to me in anyway.
Must NOT use Spouse Chat
JUST watch me get rich farming apples.

I should start counting the number of people who post this way. It's just sad that Maple's a game merely for profit and not for recreation.

For my mains, I have a male DK married to my gf's DK. My rule for that is that it MUST be gf's main character, no other exceptions. (Paid for the entire wedding)

For my Night Lord, since it is a female, I don't really care, but I'd like to marry a male Hermit/NL (that is not DEXless) that I've known for a really long time, OR a girl that is playing a male Night Lord. As long as it is a friend that I've known that plays a NL, I guess. o_O; (Paid for half of the wedding)

Btw, both my characters are married. Some dude married my Cleric (mule) too, lmfaaaao. Which, may I add, I did not pay for the wedding.

So you do care but you ended up marrying someone's mule? x.X

i wanna marry my lovely g/f susie <3

Props to you. The majority of the posts I read on SW and here are money oriented.

I don't care because i don't marry other people, i marry my mules.
I don't want some 40 year old dude from Detroit spamming spouse chat for mesos.

And who would? You're simply prejudiced because most 40 year old people do NOT play MS.

This seems the most logical unless someones splitting the bill for marriage with you, this way you can level the mule and then get 2 APQs and your money goes twice as far as if you were to marry someone else.

So you'd marry yourself in order to get 2x the apples?
I'm going to say this, if there's a price on friendship, you've just traded a friendship opportunity for virtual money.

I married my RL gf (who started me on MS)
SO its pretty safe. I hope.
But if I were to marry again I'd probably do a mule of mine for the sheer
simplicity of it.

Simplicity? How? What's the point?

Point number 2 is important (Who wants to waste 10k NX over a person being stupid?)
Point number 3 is kinda beside the point (I assume you're talking about marrying for APQ)
Point number 1 is... same as 3 (Even if you were homophobic, who cares?)

It's kinda strange being married to a person your same gender, don't you think? I'm not homophobic, but I'm certainly not a homo either. What's wrong with point number three? I'd like to have someone to chat with when I'm on since apparently my guild chat fails me and my buddy chat is rarely active.

I think that if you're marrying for APQ, it's best to just either marry a good friend who you can trust isn't going to cause drama of any kinda further down the line. Either that or you should just make an APQ mule of the opposite gender to marry. If you married a friend, they should pay half to make it fair.

So therefore, again it loops back to money and security? An APQ security issue causes everyone to ditch someone they can talk to.

Those that smega are weird. Though I don't think they are the people in it for APQ...

What else would they do it for?

So yeah, I'd say I do care.

I guess the problem with my poll is that I worded it wrong. I should have made a poll saying what you would marry:
1) Homo relations?
2) Mules?
3) Random people?
4) Close Friends?
5) Older?
6) Younger?
And allow multiple choice.

Weren't you there when I was discussing this on BL? Or did I remember wrong?

Since when was it buying friendships? And if the person you marry isn't an idiot, then well... I don't think that drama from money is ever going to happen anyway

At first when I read this, I thought people meant they were marrying randoms for both the APQ and another person they can talk to. That would be "buying friendship" because you'd only be friends because you play together for a PQ.

I became friends with a girl, and when the refer-a-friend event came around, we agreed to abuse it to get married for apq benefits. I made 2 mules and she made 2.

That was the only reason I got married. I wouldn't want to marry a rl gf who also plays maple because if the relationship goes down the drain, then so would the ring...D:

And couldn't the same happen online? People behind the computer won't be angry at you at all? Keep in mind these are REAL people you're dealing with, not just another character. I guess the difference between many people and I is that I actually treat other characters like they are people while many people treat other people like they're CPUs.

I'll marry whoever; I'm only in it for the apples (Though a hopeless online crush has persuaded me into marrying them before). I wouldn't, however, just marry some random person I met through a Smega. That's just weird, and is also an easy way to get yourself jipped out of $25.

Even if the smega'er offered to pay half? Two-thirds? Three-Fourths? What is the line between paying and not paying for a random then?

Interact... with people... on maple? BLASPHEMY!

LoL. How come online friends are treated like... a joke these days?

Not for everyone.

I got Maple-married to my IRL fiance the day weddings were released. We even stayed up the extra couple hours during the emergency server check just because we were so excited to get married. We are both poor college students, and our real wedding is nowhere in sight.

LoL. Another person who cares about the friendship aspect of marriage. I'm looking hard for these types of people but apparently nobody treats a game with seriousness.

I find online GAME relationships to be the stupidest thing to ever be thought up. ~_~ The only reasonable relationship I can see on a game is if they are a couple in real life. For gods sake.. if you're trying to find a mate on a kids game.. you've got a problem. Go to match.com or eharmony.com for gods sake..

Perhaps I didn't state clearly but I did not say anywhere that I was getting married.

And yes I can understand if you are really good friends with someone of the opposite sex in the game and you marry them... but if you try to make something out of it and start with the "omg i love you hun" or "goodnight babe" type of phrases, you've gone too far.

LoL. What's wrong with a "good night"? Maybe the "I love you" is too far but "good night" is just common courtesy.

In MSEA marraiges are taken kinda seriously... No one marries off his/her character off to a mule or something. Though MSEA players are sick... Most smegas say "F> horny, sexy, cashy and active gf" or "MMS session at cc20 rm20" MMS stands for matchmaking session. Lol. I've known my Maple wife for about 6 months now. And i keep in contact in real life thru text messages. So, yes, i guess i DO care.

LOL. I see some sick sick smega's on GMS as well...

Though we both quit and hardly ever APQ, my girlfriend and I are married, and I don't think either of us regret it. If I didn't have someone that I consider my actual girlfriend, I would have married two of my own characters to prevent stupid divorce drama. I personally think Maple marriage is a very solid investment of real money to gradually make a lot of mesos; it's one of the best deals in cash shop. So, marrying someone not completely reliable is not really a good idea.

So again, marriage is only an investment, like buying a piece of farmland for planting apples? Where's the farmer's neighbors?

I married a friend that I knew in real life. I wouldn't marry someone I couldn't trust to not break the marriage. And for me, maple marriage was the best investment of mesos used to get NX through the MTS. Zero real life money spent.

Yea. If I have a MS marriage, it'd be made through MTS as well cuz I refuse to spend NX. However, that doesn't really answer the original topic.

I've always married a good friend cause I didn't care much about APQ but my friend eventually did and I like Spouse chat.

I found most of the TS' posts rather cynical.
My former main is married to my real life boyfriend who I met on Maple. We've gone through a lot, and even though we have a bit of a problem now (not us, people around us), we'd like to see our characters as a goal of our own, that one day we'll be like that, in front of family and friends. Just not in a Vegas style chapel, LOL.

My sniper is married to my close friend irl, who has quit that character for a while now, but meh, at least no divorce drama would go on.

Overall, I have married my characters to people that I really care about, and know in real life. I also think that guys who want the girl to pay for the wedding not worthy. I see TS' concerns about marriage on MS, but meh, I guess I am just lucky...

I found most of the TS' posts rather cynical.

It's true. Most of the posts go along the line of, "I'm marrying my own mule so I get double apples", or "I'm marrying someone if they pay half so they don't break the ring", or "I'm marrying someone only for the apples", ect.

I can go on and on.

I see TS' concerns about marriage on MS, but meh, I guess I am just lucky...

LoL! I was talking and one of my friends says to me "why don't you just marry a mule so you can APQ twice and not fear having someone break the ring?" when she was married to her best friend. What a hypocrite. =(

I doooo.

1) Must be active. I <3 spamming spouse chat.
2) No hacking/scamming.
3) Can't be a moron.
4) Must not break the ring.
5) Has to be a friend.
6) Must realize it's just for APQ--and we're not in an e-lationship.

Looks like... you don't care then? "Must never use spouse chat...?"
So therefore, marriage to you is not really a friendship, it's merely a joint between two people who want to utilize the system to farm apples. You want to stay strangers w/ your spouse...?

I do care. If someone pretends to be a girl or puts any emphasis on their gender as if it means anything I don't want to be married to them. There is already a 1 person to 1 person chat, whisper, except it's better because whispers can be sent to anyone. Spouse chat is unnecessary. No one that you know only through Maple Story is your friend, nor do you really know them. They project an image of themselves, which they will usually take care to ensure is flattering and only include things that will be viewed positively. The only thing you can like or dislike about a person is how they represent themselves. All it is is an act.

The people that are naive and take it seriously, as if the people thousands of miles away that they have never met before genuinely care about them are the people that are sad, not the people that see it for what it is and choose to get married for an actual purpose (apples).

I do care. If someone pretends to be a girl or puts any emphasis on their gender as if it means anything I don't want to be married to them.

Obviously, the common person would not like seeing a faker.

There is already a 1 person to 1 person chat, whisper, except it's better because whispers can be sent to anyone. Spouse chat is unnecessary.

Who actually uses whisper to hold a conversation? Nobody that I know of. Whispers are sent to people such as Zhelm hosters or people you're just sending messages, similar to the New Year's cards to. Have you ever tried using whisper to chat with more than one person at a time?

Also, with friendships, there comes a hierarchy to who you'd talk to more often. Someone trying to talk to you through whisper would screw up your chat with someone else you may one to talk to.

No one that you know only through Maple Story is your friend, nor do you really know them. They project an image of themselves, which they will usually take care to ensure is flattering and only include things that will be viewed positively. The only thing you can like or dislike about a person is how they represent themselves. All it is is an act.

Tell me then, what is your real self? Isn't real life not an act as well? Or does everyone here have split-personality disorder where when they get online their identity suddenly morphs? If a person has an online identity and a "real-life" identity, what then, will you take as the "real" identity? Know that these are "real-people" sitting behind their computers, not people who becomes CPUs when they get online.

The people that are naive and take it seriously, as if the people thousands of miles away that they have never met before genuinely care about them are the people that are sad, not the people that see it for what it is and choose to get married for an actual purpose (apples).

In real life, people have identities. You know their personality in real life.
Online, people have identities. You know their personality online.

So what's the difference between someone presenting themselves in real life and online?

Also, I didn't say you had to care about each other. Maybe the casual chat, an online friend who's an online spouse doesn't have to be a virtual love.

What then, is the purpose of your buddy list? To use it as a list to gather those you train with? Guild, merely to GPQ and form bossing parties?

You are too cynical.

Well no, whisper isn't very good when talking to more than one person, but spouse chat is worse because you CAN'T talk to more than one person. It's not worth the effort of switching to. I would prefer to talk to my spouse through any of the other chats that I have much greater likelihood to use. I don't use whisper very often, nor am I trying to say it's that great, but it still is better than spouse chat in every way.

You can act in real life as well, but it's much easier to notice when someone is doing so. Things besides just the verbal communication such as body language can give it away. There are people that are particularly good at it, but few can keep it up for very long and in every situation that is thrown at them. After you get to know someone well enough (which you can't do on the internet) they will show themselves whether or not they intend to. I would take the person that they are in real life as the "real" them, of course. At least minimal observation of their daily behavior would be required to see it though.

In real life people are much more vulnerable. They are put in a position where they simply can't say some things in certain ways. Like saying that they are a ripped MMA fighter in a fashion besides joking, if they don't actually meet those conditions. Online you are nearly invincible, and could pull off the above and actually have dumb people believe you. If things such as IP addresses didn't exist, you would be practically invincible. You can be the coolest person ever on the internet, but in real life you will inevitably be found out if your claims aren't true. It's not very hard to see the impact that anonymity has.

I add people to my buddylist that I find interesting. I delete people that I find generic and boring. I add people that train with me or do the things you mention sometimes, but I usually delete them if they say or do things that are lame. I'm pretty picky, I only have about 10 people on my buddy list right now.

I am realistic, not cynical. I would love for there to be hot person of the opposite gender that is around my age to be madly in love with me to such an extent that they must chat me up for hours on Maple Story, but I've accepted the fact that it's really an old, ugly person. I learned this when I was 12 and played Starcraft all night.

Well no, whisper isn't very good when talking to more than one person, but spouse chat is worse because you CAN'T talk to more than one person. It's not worth the effort of switching to.

I don't use whisper very often, nor am I trying to say it's that great, but it still is better than spouse chat in every way.

Spouse chat =/= Whisper chat. You don't use one for the other. And if both are bad, why bother bringing them up.

You can act in real life as well, but it's much easier to notice when someone is doing so. Things besides just the verbal communication such as body language can give it away.

I would take the person that they are in real life as the "real" them, of course. At least minimal observation of their daily behavior would be required to see it though.

That's not what I meant. What I meant is behavior, which is what's "normal", or, if there's a definition for "normal", not "acting" does not exist. All people act. Is existance, not an act? You act like you're great? You act like your smart? You act the way you act in order to send messages to other people all time, using the same principle as you would "act" online. So what's the difference? "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players," as quoted from Shakespeare.

So define normal. "Not acting" does not exist.

In real life people are much more vulnerable. They are put in a position where they simply can't say some things in certain ways. Like saying that they are a ripped MMA fighter in a fashion besides joking, if they don't actually meet those conditions.

That's because in real life, there's actually enforcement. Online, there's no enforcement for any crime, which is why you can hack online games and get away with it but not break into bank vaults in real life and not face some sort of punishment.

Online you are nearly invincible, and could pull off the above and actually have dumb people believe you. If things such as IP addresses didn't exist, you would be practically invincible.

While that's true, it's also true that only stupid people would go online just to lie. I don't see how that's productive in any way.

You can be the coolest person ever on the internet, but in real life you will inevitably be found out if your claims aren't true. It's not very hard to see the impact that anonymity has.

Online, while your body is hidden, your personality is NOT. A person is defined by their actions, no? An online person is merely a personality without a body. As I said, people who lie merely because of anonymity are not worth talking to. However, based on experience, many people will not lie. I have the FaceBooks of many people, and they're always consistent with their real figures. I know the FBs aren't faked either. I'm not saying get yourself entangled in a relationship where someone can just log off on you forever but at least treat people like friends while they last.

I add people to my buddylist that I find interesting. I delete people that I find generic and boring. I add people that train with me or do the things you mention sometimes, but I usually delete them if they say or do things that are lame. I'm pretty picky, I only have about 10 people on my buddy list right now.

Who doesn't add people who are interesting? When I meet new people, I delete the ones who never talk to me first. Isn't that the same with everyone?

I am realistic, not cynical. I would love for there to be hot person of the opposite gender that is around my age to be madly in love with me to such an extent that they must chat me up for hours on Maple Story, but I've accepted the fact that it's really an old, ugly person. I learned this when I was 12 and played Starcraft all night.

Sighs. When did I say I was going to go into a relationship? I merely said that I wanted a friend, not an eharmony romance. Also, I disagree with the second part of the quote that all people are old and ugly. Are you old and ugly? What are the chances that the people you meet are similar to you? Wouldn't you choose similar people to be friends with?

I add people to my buddylist that I find interesting. I delete people that I find generic and boring. I add people that train with me or do the things you mention sometimes, but I usually delete them if they say or do things that are lame. I'm pretty picky, I only have about 10 people on my buddy list right now.

And as your post says, everyone's a liar. Well then, since everyone does not exempt you and I, who are both liars, under your terms, then it does not exempt your friends as well so why bother meeting them? So you can meet interesting liars and interesting fakers? People who can tell elaborate stories about themselves, in other words.

So, answer me, if everyone is a fake, everyone is a lie, why bother playing MapleStory? Why bother coming to a forum? Why bother even going online if all you're going to see are liars and fakers?

Spouse chat =/= Whisper chat. You don't use one for the other. And if both are bad, why bother bringing them up.

Whisper chat > spouse chat. It does everything spouse chat does and more. Even if I don't use it more than all of the other chats, it's still what makes spouse chat as unnecessary as it is and I have to acknowledge it.

That's not what I meant. What I meant is behavior, which is what's "normal", or, if there's a definition for "normal", not "acting" does not exist. All people act. Is existance, not an act? You act like you're great? You act like your smart? You act the way you act in order to send messages to other people all time, using the same principle as you would "act" online. So what's the difference? "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players," as quoted from Shakespeare.

So define normal. "Not acting" does not exist.

Normal is a person or a group's preconceived notion of what is to be expected of someone. Existence isn't an act. You don't choose to exist. The differences between real life and the realm of anonymity are consequences and fear of having to face those consequences. The world can't be compared to the internet because everyone involved in the world isn't there intentionally, whereas everything you do online is your own decision, right down to even being on the internet in the first place. You control what you experience and can manipulate many things to work to your desire without encountering any real danger to your wellbeing. There are some risks, but they are nothing compared to those that exist in real life.

That's because in real life, there's actually enforcement. Online, there's no enforcement for any crime, which is why you can hack online games and get away with it but not break into bank vaults in real life and not face some sort of punishment.

Pretty much. I mean, not exactly that there will be a punishment, but just the chance of there being one. That being reduced as much as it is online causes people to behave in completely different ways.

While that's true, it's also true that only stupid people would go online just to lie. I don't see how that's productive in any way.

If the person that does it is stupid, what does it say about the person that gets fooled by it? Getting enjoyment out of harassing people online isn't much worse than getting enjoyment out of having people respect or care about you in an online video game. All games are a waste of time. It's the worst thing to do if you want to do anything productive.

Online, while your body is hidden, your personality is NOT. A person is defined by their actions, no? An online person is merely a personality without a body. As I said, people who lie merely because of anonymity are not worth talking to. However, based on experience, many people will not lie. I have the FaceBooks of many people, and they're always consistent with their real figures. I know the FBs aren't faked either. I'm not saying get yourself entangled in a relationship where someone can just log off on you forever but at least treat people like friends while they last.

That's simply not true. What you type doesn't make you who you are. You only show what you like about your personality online. You can see a person's true colors through their facial expressions or through a candid reaction they have. Having a keyboard in front of you to relay how you feel allows for the message to be skewed. The people on facebook are only consistent with what they have to be. The website is set up for social networking, so it's different than a videogame environment of course. People still lie and cheat on facebook. Photos are taken at flattering angles. Comments are edited or deleted in accordance to what a person wants others to think of them.

Who doesn't add people who are interesting? When I meet new people, I delete the ones who never talk to me first. Isn't that the same with everyone?

I wasn't trying to say I was the only one. You asked about buddy lists so I just put it as plainly as I could. That's generally what I have on my buddy list.

Sighs. When did I say I was going to go into a relationship? I merely said that I wanted a friend, not an eharmony romance. Also, I disagree with the second part of the quote that all people are old and ugly. Are you old and ugly? What are the chances that the people you meet are similar to you? Wouldn't you choose similar people to be friends with?

Many romances start as "friendships." I'm almost old. In a few more years I'll be an adult. I'm not ugly. The chances are very low, but yes, I would want to be friends with similar people. The problem is that there is no means of them actually proving that they are decent friends in a videogame. I've had enough experience with "friends" in real life running away and leaving me hanging at the first sign of trouble, and to think that someone who can quit the game at any time would be a loyal friend would be absolutely absurd.

And as your post says, everyone's a liar. Well then, since everyone does not exempt you and I, who are both liars, under your terms, then it does not exempt your friends as well so why bother meeting them? So you can meet interesting liars and interesting fakers? People who can tell elaborate stories about themselves, in other words.

I am a liar, and I doubt anyone that plays Maple Story has gone their entire career without lying. The most successful people in the world are all great liars. The bold is true. I do differentiate between people that have good or bad intentions, but there are some people I like that I know are horrible people that I keep buddied regardless, simply because of how hilarious they are and what they can accomplish by lying.

So, answer me, if everyone is a fake, everyone is a lie, why bother playing MapleStory? Why bother coming to a forum? Why bother even going online if all you're going to see are liars and fakers?

All that I have ever used the internet for is entertainment and education. Everything related to Maple Story would fall in the entertainment category. It doesn't bother me that everyone lies to get what they want as long as I know that that is what they are doing and I'm not the one being tricked.

Seriously, I just looked at this thread this morning and just noticed the stupidity of it yet again.

Yes, I was there when you were discussing it on buddy list. I don't think I said much more other than I'd rather marry a good friend rather than some random. Only reason I would get married though is for APQ. I probably mentioned that too.

As for you questioning me saying that I do care, that is so stupid. You havn't even made it clear your definition of "caring" and that is going to vary from person to person. So, caring is agreeing with your 3 points that you made?

All I see this thread is, is you trying to make us all agree with you...

As for what you should have told your friends, just "I don't agree with marrying for just APQ" would have done the job just fine rather than making a fuss

@Harrisonized: Correct. However, that wedding was free, that and I got married on my Cleric (which is nothing more than a mule-character that I use to store ores now), so I didn't really care.

But if it was on my main characters that I play all of the time, I would.

Well, I would just marry just to APQ, but since I really don't know anyone in MS anymore (in real-life and/or in-game), and that I rarely go on MS anymore, I chose not to take that step.

Yes, I know people will lecture me about "It never hurts to try", but why should I make an effort like this in a game that hardly appeals to me anymore?
