Isn`t just vanity. Is 2 diferent experiences and thats why is bad.

Just a question we have to go to mogstation for the "free" version as well right? so who is to say the one package won't be for in game currency and the other cash shop? just asking. Would love to hear from a dev though thanks.

GET YOUR LOGIC AND REASON OUT OF HERE! IT'S NOT WELCOME ON THESE FORUMS!! HOW DARE you?!

/sarcasm That's honestly a pretty good thought, they didn't exactly SAY that either would be real money, anyways. This forum loves to create rants and rage based around conjecture.

Slepnir mount was on databases before the cash shop was even told to be added, back in the time when yoshida said it wasn`t going to be one. Slepnir mount was probably a possible Odin`s Mantle reward but then was probably reconsidered as Trial Mount reward and then, crap, Cash Shop becomes something, quickly grab something to put in there! and there you go. And something similar must have happend to minions and probably will happen from now on, as you will see, the cash shop filling with items that are in no way special and have no reason at all to be in the game in the first place.

A regular, even for all wedding would be perfect. Far better than having 2 divided experiences by wallet in a P2P game.

Odin is set to release in 2.5, who is to say we cannot get Sleipnir then?

I have a question for you all...seriously I would like to hear whatpeople have to say.

... do you really need a ceremony to formalize this? you know buying a house can be done independent of the marriage, it can be done with money one of you buy and you both live there, you can share the same house, share things as if you were married...

Actually no. We can buy houses seperately, but not share it, I can't use anything in my friends house. So I would expect this to be possible when "bonded" in the game though...
I do get your point thought... I still love the thought of getting married in the game, I don't even RP either. But I've been playing online with a very special person for over 3 years now, and I think it would just be really nice to celebrate it with this eternal bond. I wouldn't need the ceremony, the official invitations etc. I do however would like mount and minion to just show that it did happen...

Aside from that I do also wish they wouldn't make a premium version of the whole thing... just because it's simply not nice to separate between rich and poor in games.

Alright here is my impression of what is different between the free version and the payed version:
Free Version

• The ceremony
• The venue
• A dress for the bride
• outfit for the groom
• rings
• scheduling of event
• pick an npc to officiate

Payed version

• All the stuff in free version
• An additional selection of dresses for the bride
• a minion
• a mount

So you still get everything just minus an additional selection of a wedding dress, no minion and no mount. So the OP's picture examples is wrong. And I honestly see no problems with charging a little something for extra optional fluff.

Meh. Ill just use this clean water that's already included in the rent thank you very much.

My house unfortunately doesn't have the cleanest tap water around. Drinking it is a no-no for me.

First off...i don't really care if SE charges us to marry or not...cant change it anyway.
But...what i really don't get is....why are allways the same category of gamers to be fooled?!? (Sorry, dunno if this is correct english, its not my main language). I mean...there are many types of gamers. Raider, crafter, gatherer, grinder, collector, roleplayer, Afk-ppl (lol)...whatever. No one of those types should be treated better than another. Everyone has its own reasons to play and everyone has their own goals. Why are allways the collectors (of minions, mounts, vanity) that have to pay more than the rest of the players to achieve their goals. I hear allways "its no P2W, so its ok". But for those players it is a "win" to get a new mount f.e. So for them it is P2W. Its allways them, who have (yes i know...u will say "No, they don't have to!") pay for their goals, not the crafter have to buy extra mats or the raiders, who gotta buy coil access (or w/e). Nope...its the "silly so called casuals"...and all the other types of gamer can come and make fun of them (because they whine)...sure...THEY don't have to pay for their goals, so its easy for them to live with the shop.
Well...just wanted to say that...and no, im not one of the collector type ppl. But i think many of the cashshop supporter here would act different, if SE would put stuff in the shop what affects their goals.

I cannot be the only one here who is laughing at everyone else's skewed definition on what winning means. It sounds like a flimsy excuse to justify why people should get everything in the game without paying a dime because "personal" reasons.

Enlighten us, then. How do you "win" an MMORPG?

Come back and speak again when your "personal" "definition" of "win" is only achievable via cash shop.
