MapleStory : Marriage & Divorce in 3-Seconds Flat

The Marriage System in MapleStory is one of the more popular features of Nexon's side scrolling MMO. It's no easy process either.maplestory mesos. Requiring a special quest for an engagement ring, the acceptance of a partner, the sending of invitations, payment of fees, setting a date and more, the process is nearly a mirror of real world marriages...except for the 3-second divorce that set a record!

As with any marriage feature, a divorce system also needs to be included for those couples who simply cannot see eye-to-eye any more. It's not a cheap feature either as players have to fork over major amounts of in-game currency and lose their wedding rings which pack a great bonus that will surely be missed.
