Elf & Giant Marriage/Shoulder Rides
Hello again everyone! I want to start this by saying that I believe giant shoulder riding is part of the holy trinity of Mabi social features. As far as I'm concerned Mabi has 3 main social features. First and holiest being music, second being PVP, third being shoulder rides.
Just imagine for a second that giants and elves couldn't do a freestyle jam together! It would leave at least 1/3rd of the Mabi population out of one of the single-handed best social features in the entire game! That is exactly what's happening here though. Elves have been completely left out of that side.
I know it can be easy to say "Just make a new character" but this is Mabinogi!! This is one of the only games I've ever played that doesn't REQUIRE you to have an alt, and instead (for the most part) focuses on the "main character". This is probably one of the only aspects of the game where you're forced to start a new character if you want to marry who you want.
I remember a time when same sex marriage was illegal too! I remember in order to marry another woman, you'd have to RB into a male character, get married, then rebirth back to a female character. AND THEN THEY FIXED IT, and now you can just marry whatever gender you want to marry regardless of your own. The only difference I'm seeing here between elf and giant marriage, and same sex marriage, is AT LEAST there was still technically a way to get around it.
With elf and giant marriage we as players are forced to abandon all our hard work in order to be with the one we love! The feature is already available in KR and has been since March! Now I know we're about 6 months behind Korea, which means that we still have 2 months before we'll know for sure whether or not we actually get it as a feature, so I'mma try to be patient but please Nexon end this discrimination, intolerance, and racism! Legalize love, and make Mabinogi a place of love and tolerance!
For a bit more context here's a screenshot of the KR patchnotes
And a picture Nexon has as an official wallpaper for Mabinogi! (TOTALLY FALSE ADVERTISING)

According to our most recent Producer Letter, Elf and Giant marriage is coming to Erinn!
As far as being able to ride on Giants' shoulders, we may have to wait and see!
