Gay Marriage Legalized Nationwide - when will nexon?
Today the Supreme Court ruled gay marriage to be legal nationwide in the US. The vast, vast majority of players are now from countries with legalized gay marriage. Do you think Nexon will finally allow gay marriage in maplestory?
As the game stands now, it appears as if Nexon rejects the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of same-sex marriage. New players will notice that the game only allows straight marriage, while their country celebrates marriage equality. It sends a negative political message, and it will leave a bad taste in people's mouths. This needs to be changed.
I think it's worth noting -- as @Raginroxas mentioned -- Mabinogi NA (published by Nexon America) implemented gay marriage back in 2012.

Yea, this is definitely bait.
[quote=Espeo92]"As the game stands now, it appears as if Nexon rejects the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of same-sex marriage." No it doesn't because Maple has been this way since the beginning and that gay law was just passed.[/quote]
In the eyes of a new player, the game currently sends a negative political message. It makes it appear as if Nexon rejects marriage equality laws.

oooo kill em
when the get around to digging through the code after going through the trouble to getting authorization from korea.
Why bother? 90% of you don't play your gender anyways
I'm all for it, but I think it's unlikely that Nexon would go through the trouble. Unless they desperately need to pull a publicity stunt.
[quote=MinagiAvenir]Agreeing with Omnisceint1. Stop it with these threads already. Topics like these start online flame wars/debates that no one actually wins and the flamers end up overwhelming the one trying to convey their beliefs and values. So do stop remaking these threads that end up amounting to nothing meaningful.[/quote]
"Meaningful?" This is a forum, which is based on discussion. It's not always about winning a debate, the "meaningfulness" comes from the debate itself.
For the other thread, I disagree completely with the moderator who closed it, no offense. For something that was legalized nationwide today, locking a thread on a related subject is a complete slap in the face. Just because something is prone to flame wars, doesn't mean it should be stopped beforehand. Isn't that the whole point of the legalization?
If we were to stop discussions because there were haters in the world, the legalization of same sex marriage wouldn't even occur in the first place.
The best part about these threads is that I'm able to pick out all the bigots and who to not interact with in the future.

I mean there's nothing worth writing home about in terms of marriage in MapleStory. No one really does Amoria PQ, there aren't any stat bonuses, it's just a weird thing that still exists in the game for no reason.
never
[quote=AckarRed]Honestly, with all the BS Maple needs to fix with their game, gay marriage is in the total bottom.[/quote]

Legalize Gay marriajuana

Lol people are still moaning about virtual marriages
post this on kms forums
nexon has bigger issues to worry about tbh...
Umm gay marriage is allowed in Mabinogi so Nexon has acknowledged gay marriage.
No nexon don't listen to news
You really think nexon cares about whether or not it's politically correct?
If it's easy to implement and can net profits without damaging their player base participation, they'll implement it. All about the $$$. I wish Zero's could marry tho.
I just made a thread like this....
@Creeper: Why should it be allowed? It just starts unnecessary flame wars. It's just like religion topics, politics, etc nothing good comes from it. If Nexon does allow gay marriage it will happen but just wait and see. No need to make tons of topics about it.

GMS is based in America. The majority of players are from countries with legalized gay marriage.
inb4 nexon makes gay marriage coupons cost more
didn't know america = the rest of the world.
@Omniscient1 - Did they really? I think this discussion is important and should be allowed.
@Pokamanz - I'm coming back at some point! I just need a sign...
@Chepfer - Then why did you bump this one?
Nexon is the staunch conservatives of the MMO world.

When will Nexon let me marry myself? <3
