Same Sex Marriage Coming To Mabinogi
Nexon America is preparing to release Mabinogi's Classic Update, which adds a new Puppeteer talent, new mount, and also includes changes to Mabinogi's wedding system in order to incorporate same sex marriages between players.
The Puppeteer talent gives players several new skills including controlling two puppets, Pierrot and Colossus, to aid in battle, and allows players to grab enemies on the battlefield with the use of control bars. The Puppeteers also can follow a new quest-line to sharpen their new skills.
The new Talent System replaces the destiny system, allowing for more specialized training and higher stats. As part of the Talent System, several skills were added including mining, commerce mastery, milking, mushroom gathering, and sheep shearing.
The new mount, the Bone Dragon, is a fierce flying dragon with fiery red eyes and an exposed skeleton. The Bone Dragon is available in several colors including black, red and green.
Weddings are a popular element in the game with more than 67,000 in-game unions since the game launched in 2008. Characters of the same gender are now allowed to marry in-game, following countless suggestions from players asking for the feature to be added in this fantasy life MMO.
"When players speak out about specific content, we do our best to deliver," said Teddy Kim, Nexon America's Mabinogi producer. "That is the great thing about
Mabinogi; it allows players fully immerse themselves in the lives they take on in-game. Players can get married, fight dragons, become musicians or learn to cook. We think that opening up the wedding system to same gender characters is fully in the spirit of offering nearly limitless options to our players."
