Divorce...

[Edellis]

I wouldn't dare marry a female in this game who's played by an actual female. Too close to the real thing, sorry.

Marriage to me in MMOs is nothing more than a friendly joke between friends, with in-game benefits. It's genius. Taking it seriously is begging for hilarious problems.

As a woman, i'm just going to say that it's your loss. I'm marrying someone on Wednesday, and while it started out as friendship it has blossomed into something more, and both of us are happy with that. It's not always bad.

Probably marrying another player might resolve this problem? I'm not sure at all, but there is a chance that marrying another player will render your old spouse's ring useless.

<snip> I think if a character goes through a divorce they should lose all rewards the marriage gave. Intended purpose fufilled.

Right on! Lose the glamour clothing, lose the chocobo... Lose it all. People miss (I did initially) that this person just took off the ring and did not go through the annulment that is built into the game. This was meant to be an "eternal" bond. People are just grabbing at glamour items and then blaming the development team when things work as exactly as intended. People can stalk you in this game with or without a ring on your finger. Where are you, my unrequited love? <player search> Ah you are in your private home in the Mist. <teleport to Mist, chocobo to your house> I am here. Why aren't you looking at me? Notice me, damn you? <perform dragoon AoE, the most irritating effect in the game> You will notice me! The only step that has to be left out with the bonding system is that it's an instant teleport every 30 mins. Thank goodness, the stalker just saved 2 minutes of time harassing you.

<edited to add> GhibliTheSW, there is an annulment process. You have to talk to the NPC that started the whole thing. You have to annul before another marriage anyway, so as I said previously, there's no reason to marry another person, just annul.

lol at ppl saying $E put paywall on marriage so "people think twice". Trust me, they don't want you to think twice, they want you to buy it twice lol

As for all the "random people shouldn't marry in the first place" comments - you do realize this is a video game, if marrying a random person is fun, there is nothing wrong by doing it.

The stalker is a stalker regardless of the marriage, he just has the ability to teleport to you now. report to GM since that's pretty much harassment, and well, yeah, i think if one person drops the ring, the other ring should lose its effect.

That's how it always starts...but don't mind my cynicism.

I can see if you know the person in real life...actually, no, I can't, that actually makes it worse.

they should force people to either stick together for a certain amoutn of time or if they want the divorce what they paid for is gone lost and what they got be removed from them...that would make them think twice.

I mean as long as is stated as such everybody takes their own responsability.....frankly,OP, you put youself in this position, I dont feel sympathetic towards you not even for a bit.

You wanted it ..you got it..good luck

Sorry this is just what shall I say? ridiculous

Regardless of people's reasons for getting married, not having a simple in game system to dismantle some of the potential stalking mechanisms is a bit short sighted on SE's part.

Maybe a GM can assist?

its not, its a game, but they chose to get married. I dont see why choices shouldnt impact you in this game. The World needs to stop babysitting people that do wrong decisions period. If you really want totally out of the marriage where someone stalks you can server hop period.

I still see marriage as a big choice IRL or Ingame. Less so Ingame but its still something i wouldnt sully just for some dumb stuff, its the thought behind the marriage that gets sullied.

You should see me in my White Mage glamour. That will get you to rethink this statement.

Without a pic I'm not standing corrected .
