Maplestory, an online game that's been running since 2003 (2005 in North America), lets players get married. It also lets them get divorced. And that's where it gets interesting.
In 2011, the divorce rate in Maplestory for North American players was 46%. That's...pretty terrible, but it's actually less terrible than the divorce rate for American human beings, which stands at 50% for the first marriage and only goes up from there for subsequent unions.
That's about where the good news ends for Maplestory players, though. According to this report on VentureBeat, once divorced, crazy exes are just as batshit crazy in a video game as they are in real life, with one woman scorned taking control of her former lover's account and flinging his virtual belongings all over the place.
