Eternal Bond (Marriage) System

[Fellisin]

XI's system required booking because they used a live GM to perform the service. I think it was too complicated a process, although having the live GM was something rather special. I sort of hope there is some sort of barrier that keeps just anyone from marrying for laughs or for the in game goodies. Something that helps filter out players that actually want to go through the process as a symbol of devotion to their partner rather than someone whom wants to marry off two mules to get a free mount.

Sorry but if I or anyone else wants to marry someone in a game for a laugh, rewards or for whatever reason. Then that's down to us and has no impact on anyone else.

After all it is our gaming experience, which we're paying money to enjoy our way & it doesn't effect anyone elses in game marriage.

So 2.45? or think will wait til 3.0?

And I'm thrilled with it all except for that part I bolded/italicized. This was something done in XI, you actually had to have a 3rd person (chaperone) make the application for you, I believe, and wait "months" for an in-game ceremony.

There's a reason I kept saying over and over that SE and the GMs should not be involved and that marriage should be something entirely player-run...

Preeeetty sure the marriage ceremonies will take place in the Sanctum of the Twelve in East Shroud... in which case the online registration is to book the area since it's not instanced. Whether or not a GM will be present... who knows? I find it unlikely.

My point is that bookings and applications shouldn't even be necessary. That goes back to my point on non-involvement. Just implement clothes, foods, consummables and so on. You could tell me that couples that don't want to apply at the aforementioned website can still run their own ceremony, but now we have a distinction between an unofficial wedding and an official wedding in place.

I appreciate the support and insight into the subject including the changes they made to the XI wedding, which I wasn't really aware of. I have to believe the system they are planning for us in ARR would not be as convoluted as the original XI process. I do hope we get some more positive details soon.

Bah, as of yesterday, seems I saved myself the whole process, and a divorce right after.

I'm personally hoping for a gown that will rival Marie Antoinette...
