As a gay man who has played maple on and off for over a decade I am ashamed for Nexon in the fact that they only allow heteronormative marriages. It is 2019 and gay marriage is a normal part of society at this point. By allowing gay marriage in the game there would be no controversy at this point. Until male characters can marry male characters and female characters can marry female characters I will never personally spend the money to participate in a marriage. My point, in the long run, is that it is almost discriminatory that Nexon has not allowed same-sex marriages in their games.

I'll agree that it would be a very minor change, and that it would probably take little, if any, work to actually enable, but the simple fact of the matter, unfortunately for you and everyone who feels the same as you, is that cultural differences are a thing, and you need to understand that not every country shares the same ideals as you or your own country.
On a personal note, I have never been able to see the reasoning behind people getting so up-in-arms and offended over the fact that <random foreign-made MMO> doesn't allow for same-sex marriage. It doesn't make you any less human that literally some random video game doesn't accommodate your sexual identity or orientation. Other than the armoria party quest, which gives onyx apples, there's really no tangible benefit to marriage in this particular game anyway, so I further see no need to make an issue of it.
Don't misunderstand me here, I'm not trying to shame or silence you for being gay. What I'm trying to say is that, due to cultural differences between, say, the US and South Korea, this may be a pointless tree to bark up.
Mabinogi would like to have a word with you. (Unless they disabled that ability, you can marry same-sex in that game) This is one of those issues I don't really have a ton of say in...I've never had an issue with it, and like Aggra said, the Marriage in this game isn't exactly a "game-breaker".
I wouldn't know anything about mabinogi; last time I played it, hell even touched it, was eight or so years ago.
