Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[Twiddle]

You know, i still haven't heard of the purported mmo haven of a country that would lock out SE and its gaming population over this...what you are proposing isn't a solution at all. I'm not sure where you think the problem is. Gaming journalists aren't the type to be up in arms over these decisions...

I can't point a finger as to which country would make a stink over SS partnership, as i don't know the law in every scrap of land on the planet. But if the possibility exists to make a stink, some one will make it. Were the problem is, is that Yoshi-P is calling the performed act "an in game marriage", and as long as it's labeled as such it can never be SS. If it is, then that means that SE is taking a side which would negatively impact the company.

I don't care for either side: for or against SS, my worry is waiting longer then i have to for a game i want to play..

Edit: I doubt minors would care if they can get hitched in a game or not!

So you say there would be a stink, but cannot say where or who, or even how it would delay the game...but someone would complain. Oh the horror!

Here's the thing. Everyone complains about something. The jump button, the grass, Why is this so special a case when you cannot point where the threat lies? How would this delay the game for you to the point that no mmo designer, ever must cross this line(and several already have)?

And seriously, this isn't official you know. Playdates happen.

Especially because, you know, it probably won't even be in at launch lol.

The system for weddings--proper services and such--might not be available right from the beginning. It’ll most likely be added in a patch. However, we’ve already prepared a place for it.

Something that is not included at launch cannot hold up the game's launch. Once the game has launched they can add it. And honestly if it's among a patch likely ripe with other content, those who oppose it likely won't notice. They're even less likely to notice if SE doesn't call any attention to the removal of the restriction, or if they don't call it marriage anymore.

The chance of some huge incident coming from the removal of the restriction is highly unlikely, especially from any source that actually pertains to the game itself.

Survey says -- wrong!

Waaaay back when I used to play XI, in the early days I had several circles of friends who were around 14~17 (they were a tad younger than me at the time) and there were quite a few that married their in-game partners. There's also a couple of those who married in-game who kept the relationship going over these years and are also trying to marry irl now.


You're also not going to have to wait longer to play ARR, if the marriage system isn't ready for release they will put it in later (I'm pretty sure this is what's happening, though they have the venue covered). So your worries again are unnecessary.

People will complain whether they leave SSM out or whether they put it in, it can't be helped - I think SE will be fine nomatter what they pick but it would be a step forward if they allowed people to marry whomever they wanted.
