MMORPG DIVORCE, EXTREME SPORTS AND PLASTIC SURGERY
Ragnarok Online Expands the Quirky Side of Online Life
MARINA DEL REY, Calif., -- Dec. 15, 2004 -- Only a few weeks have passed since players could be married in Ragnarok Online, and they are already clamoring to escape the bonds of matrimony. Gravity Interactive has answered the demands of those longing for the single life by introducing divorce into the massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) world.
Players are warned, that just like the real world, breaking marriage vows come at a steep monetary and spiritual cost. Both parties must empty their pockets and file for divorce at a combined cost of 2,500,000 Zeny (Ragnarok money), as well as temporarily reducing their health and spell points in half.
Those feeling unattractive after getting divorced can get an extreme makeover with a new hairstyle and even a new face by visiting the local Nifflheim hairdresser.
He/she also moonlights as an unlicensed plastic surgeon. Players willing to risk more than just their tresses can fulfill one of their midlife crisis fantasies by bungee jumping in the jungles of Umbala.
Divorcees who really want to hide from their ex-spouses can start all over with a new identity and play as a Super Novice class character. This class is really a jack-of-all-trades. Players never have to choose a specific class of skills to specialize in.

That sounds interresting. I expect everybody oin the servers to go change their looks whether they got divorced or not. Everybody has one or two things about their character(s) they don't like
