Yeah, some people would still use it just to enjoy it, but that number is extremely small compared to the development time and costs involved in implementing the system.
I hate to agree, but yeah MMO gamers these days don't know the beauty of what a real MMORPG was like. Even RP aside, marriage systems was generally utilized by couples who ended up as RL couples or RL couples who wanted to extend their marriage to the virtual world, which I can guarantee you'll have a group of people see this as "pathetic" in this day and age.
