Hello fellow maplers,

I am a player who decided to make a class around its release day and thought I was jokingly making it and gave it a joke name and randomly chose its gender. As I invested more into that class...I realized I was maining it and I had given it a difficult name and had chosen the wrong gender. After a time I changed its name but I was stuck with that gender. Years passed and I watched events and items come and go jealous of the choices the other gender had.

This year I reached out to Nexon support in desperation to ask if they would change my character's gender "just this once." They responded with telling me there wasn't a system in place in Maplestory for this request.

I began a research binge. In this binge, I learned that there was a gender change option implemented on JMS called 聖なる秘薬 (Holy Elixir in English), an item on TMS (I could not find the name), and as of this year, a Gender Change Coupon on KMS.

I brought this information to Nexon Support and they said that they would pass this information to the review team.

Personally I would prefer buying it in the cash shop for the same price as a name change.

And now I come to you fellow maplers with a request! They want to additionally know our interest in this option! Now is the time! Comment on this post and answer the poll!

(P.S. The name was "Shananananana" like the batman song and as many na's as it would allow me)

    I do think the comunity would benefit from this option or the removal of gendered equips as a whole.

    I think this would be a good change. I like playing with character voices on, and because I transferred my old main Jett into a sair (whose female voice I don't like), I have to switch the option off every time I play it. I'm also not a fan of the female Sair character design that we have to watch in the origin and ascent animations. I would rather just change it to male. I also agree that clothes should be genderless. It doesn't have to be a big culture-war thing like I'm sure the devs are afraid of. You could market the pill as a "Rebirth Token" or something like that and just say in the patch notes "hey you can equip your character with any NX item or hair/face option you want now" and just remove the M/F tags and restrictions. Plenty of other MMOs have character re-creation systems too so it's not like this is something unheard of.
