Bandwagon time; Marriages in GMS.

I rarely ever post in here, but I’ll try to change that soon.
My blog today is about Marriages, as the title reads.
I would like to express my displeasure in the fact I can’t marry my boyfriend in MS, due to the fact I too, am male, & chose a male character when I began playing.
However, I understand MS & their side of things, having to explain to kids (who the game is aimed at) why two girls or two girls are allowed to be wed in a game but not in real life, however, it really puts a kink in my boyfriend & I’s playing!
I also would really like people to expand their minds & be more accepted of homosexuals playing MS, or any video game, or even existing for that matter. I get kicked out of PQ’s, or defames, or harassed, or KS’d due to my sexual preference. Yes, it is my choice to tell someone or not when they ask me (& believe me, they do, because I wear rather un-masculine items from the cash shop, in-game), but why should I have to lie to protect my pleasure in playing a MMO? That’s like lying to someone in real life to hide from ridicule.
If I can be some-what free in the real world, why not a video game, you know? read more

Long time no blog!

Hey again, not sure if anyone is reading this but hey, might as well write.
Since my last update I have changed guilds, leading one called Changlish with a lot of other N2O members in. What happened to XN2OX? Myself & some members had felt it got too out of control with ruling etc so we sort of did a mutiny & left. I’m still on good terms with the other two leaders from XN2OX, & all is well.
I have a full guild now, 30 members, & they seem to be pretty cool. I’ve had a problem with one doing some harassing to female members of my guild, but we talked it out & are trying to resolve it.
I feel a little tension in the guild right now, but maybe with a meet-and-greet, that will blow over. read more

Blargh;

Leveling seems to take so long, especially now that I’m 47, the same as my guild leader, who I’m racing to level 50 with.
Maybe it’s because the guild hasn’t been on as much, or I’m used to things giving me more experience, but it feels like I’m on all day for a lousy %10. I want to get strong & finally change out of these clothes! read more

Dealing with the generation of tomorrow;

Yes, re-read the title if you need to.
It’s been a rough 8 months on maple, starting out with trial & error characters, to finding the exact one that fits my personality (a Sin, of course!), but the one thing that has been easy to shake, is the empty-heads of today’s youth.
I’m going to be quite honest here, & tell you all that I am twenty-two, born in Europe but now living in the US. I am a male. Sounds pretty normal, maybe a little old to be playing video games, but here’s what gets people riled up. I have a boyfriend. Yes, that’s right, I am what you suspect I am, but what I would probably get deleted/banned in saying full-out. (Which is another rant all of it’s own..). My boyfriend also plays MS, & when we get together & trian, most people think we’re a couple, as they should. Their first question usually is, “Which one of you is the girl in r/l?”. We F2, & say neither. Than they F5, F6, or F7. Following those are a hoard of defames, or “ewwww” commentary.
I get it, not many parents teach kids about, well, boys with boyfriends, but come on. If you’re going to play a MMO, you need to have an open mind, because chances are, you’re going to meet someone who is completely different from you. read more

Leveling amongst the Maple-seekers.

Being a lvl 46 sin is sometimes tough, there’s limited places I train decently at, & now with the new maple event, most of them are being bamboozled by a fleet of I/L mages or hermits x_x.
Sure, I would love to see a maple claw in my hands, but that’s not going to be likely anytime soon, atleast not until double drops start happening.
I’ve been wandering around Victoria Island, looking for decent places to train at, & after stopping at Golems, Copper drakes & yes, even those fire boars, I got a little bored.
What does one do when he’s bored on Vic island?
Head to Henesys hunting ground of course!
No, I’m not traveling there to show off, I’m helping little noobs with money/leveling problems, & just chatting, giving motivation to the little lvl 11 rogues I see. read more
