    Oh god. Ok, i'll explain the whole process of why the game can't add it in.

    1) Nexon America is a publishing company even though they try to code in other maplestory version which could make the game/patch more buggy but who the hell cares, but they get their files from KMS and KMS makes all the New maps and most of the New theme dungeons and etc. It's a taboo to be in a relationship with the same gender in korea.

    2) From what i heard GMS is running with a really old code of some sort, and for them to update it they have to clear out the whole game or something (i don't really know, but it more like they're depending on some old hardware that could just break any second, so i'm guessing that's why they can't really make much changes as they did long time ago (Jett is a good example of a failure of a class and an example of an attempt nexon america tried to make)

    i think that's about it.
    There's also some old posts asking the same thing, but most of them got removed or closed because some people were being homophobic or religious.

    Yea, Korea isn't a big supporter of lgbt rights. This is a perfect example of how Nexon America having little (or no?) discretion can be very detrimental to the PR side of things. Really, no same sex marriage in 2018? tbh this is a terrible oversight of cultural inconsistencies that makes Nexon looks pretty bad, at the very least old fashion (atleast to the GMS demographic). Nexon should atleast realize its a marketable decision for gms, that is in the general public interest in america.

    Thank you, i just wish it was something they could add or figure out how to do.
