In-game marriage, will it make a return?

Problem with this is, they also have to make changes based on their country.

SE had to end the Mog Bonanza due to European and/Canadian gambling laws. While gambling in Japan isn't THAT taboo (Pachinko for example) going international, they just can't do it. So while they need to "cater to everyone they support" their dev team and primary holders are in Japan, they're based in Japan and have to abide by Japanese rules, much like Blizzard has to abide by American laws even if they have support in other countries.

The problem I have with discussing laws and whatnot in this thread is that they have absolutely no bearing on in-game marriages. A marriage in FFXIV I'd both virtual and not a legal marriage in any sense. It's not legally valid in any state or country. It is a virtual ceremony that pertains only to the game world and has no official bearing in the real world.

This. I find it hard to take the discussion of society and politics seriously in this context.

Plus, is just plain off-topic and could get the thread locked.
