As it's Valentione's Day, I ask do we even need in-game marriage; period!

[Zaels]

If we can get married I hope we can get divorced too... Maybe they can code it so the man loses half his stuff and has to pay extra gil every week or so...

But then they'd have to implement stuff like pregnancy, childbirth, and children if you wanna throw child support into this.

[Faedden]

We're still going on about this? Who cares. We don't even know when/if they are going to implement it let alone the restrictions. You people just wanna fuss about anything. ._.

I remember that NexusTK(showing my age here with MMO's...) allowed marriage between Male and Female. It showed up on a bio that the game made for you(kind of like the achievements of today, but it showed important events and milestones you had completed and when) and provided you and your spouse with a ring that could instantly teleport you to your mate with no cooldown.

People complained that you couldn't marry same-sex and eventually they added a blood brother/sister option so you could be with someone of your same gender...but they refused to call it marriage. Honestly, in this day and age...it's such a ridiculous notion. Can you imagine 50 years down the road when people think nothing of it? When the struggle for gay rights is likened to the struggle for the rights of women or people of color? It's almost laughable for those of us living in this current generation to even think about.

MMO companies need to man up and accept it at this point. There is no contraversy outside of the handful of religious people that shouldn't even be your customers if they really believe what they say they believe. Ignore them and support the true people that pay your bills.

The reason I push for non-involvement (which is what Blizzard pretty much did in WoW) is because SE is not in a position to take sides at the moment. Suffice to say this was talked about in beta, someone said the wrong thing and a shitstorm ensued. I would rather give no opportunity for said shitstorm to form by simply implementing assets into the game and then leaving players to do what they want with them.

Let's get married, everyone!

[Kyoskai]

The one way for this to be solved is for nobody to get anything and everyone to be the same kinda sad... Except me cause I hate happiness and desire sadness and tears.

I disagree. They absolutely are. Everyone with the opportunity to establish a statement on this matter is in such a position. We all are.

It's ridiculous that there's even debate going on over this, though. It should not even be a question. When implementing a marriage system in-game, the thought of restricting it to only opposite-gender player characters should not even blink into existence.

And why should it not, because you don't want it to? Other people share the opposite opinion of you if you don't recall why all these topics get closed, I'm actually happy to see SE hold out since it shows that they have some other considerations other than money or they would have taken the easy way out already.

It shouldn't because the opposing opinion is hardly a valid opinion in the first place? An opinion of "my type of people deserve to have this system cater specifically to us, because we're of the opinion that people like you don't deserve to use it" is kinda toilet-level garbage. These topics get closed because people with this opinion that only they deserve in-game fluff services for their own sort of people make a huge stink when other types of people might get to play with what's been exclusively their toys in almost every other instance (and the people they want to take the system from, for no real reason, get a little fed up of reading it. At least I do, though I'm just sick of this stupid attitude in every area of life including the games I play). It's just a bunch of conceited, whiny people trying to diminish fun for other paying players because they're more "important" or somehow more "correct" than those other paying customers... not an actual, reasonable, rational position.

I hope they do add it. Our linkshell had such fun with them in FFXI, and I want a pretty dress. :P
