In-game marriage, will it make a return?

[Darkillumina]

Gentlemen a piece of advice.

Marriage, for f*** sakes don't do it!

[Babydoll]

Awww..I don't see it as useless Its just a cute gesture for fun (That is why I play games, mainly MMO...believe it or not, for fun! )

So make it even more fun and do it all yourselves, instead of wanting the game devs to waste resources in doing the process for you. Though I guess going as far as asking them to implement a tux/wedding dress and stuff like that into the game wouldn't be a stretch and wouldn't waste nearly as many resources. Also being able to sign gear, so you can craft low level rings with names on them.

As the OP said, I don't think anyone is saying to implement this now. I think it's just a feature they would like to eventually see implemented in the game.

Clearly, there are far more pressing matters for the dev's to address.

Alternatively, what you suggested isn't bad. The dress/tux could be recipes that weavers can make and the goldsmiths can make the wedding bands. ^^ Although, I still think people would want a little cs or something lol.

In all seriousness though- yes, I'd like the implementation of in game weddings. No, I do not want it to happen right this minute. o.o

[Amrita]

Yeah... I don't remember anybody saying ZOMEWEDDINGSNAOORRAGEQUIT!!!
It's just something extra that would be fun LATER ON. ^^;
I know it wasn't added to FFXI until uhmmm I think shortly after it was released for PS2? Anybody know for sure?? :3

We keep getting new weapons and gear that seem more or less "useless" right now and nobody is complain-- oh wait. :x


~teehee~

In the mean time why don't we have them take out the Chocobo raising, this is obviously wasted time on something we don't need. Actually, lets take out all Social aspects in the game, who the hell needs that in a MMO?

MMO's are an amalgamation of things:

Social Aspects
Ability Aspects
Determination Aspects

I'm sure there's more. But just because YOU don't enjoy it does not mean it shouldn't be in the game. Some people dislike raid type scenarios, should those be removed or never designed? There's a reason there's dozens of aspects added with each patch/ex-pack, so that there's something there for everyone and not just one type. This falls into the social aspect, something you're not fond of for whatever reason.

And I'll continue the broken record statement: No one's asking for it right now. There are indeed more important things to be focused on at the moment. However, some would like to see it added down the road in an ex-pack or when appropriate.

OT

I wouldn't mind seeing it added to XIV, again as long as same genders are permitted and cross races are permitted.

[Sevro]

I only want to see it in game if same sex marriages are allowed. No need for discrimination.

agreed 100%, not doing so would look pretty bad in 2012 on SE's part

[Riv]

I thought it was cool, i wish it came back.

Hey, while SE is shooting themselves in the foot by taking polarizing positions on RL hot-button issues... maybe they should introduce in-game abortions, a Palestinian state, commentary on public sector union benefits, carbon taxes, austerity programs, and Burka bans. /sarc

Ungh... I totally forgot about the SSM issue before, If there ever was a reason to NOT put marriage in the game, the SSM issue is definitely it. The drama that will erupt will likely cause many people on both sides of the issue quit this game.

LISTEN UP SE, if you don't want to have a lot of THIS your game, then stay as far away from marriage as you can.


You know, some of us play games to get away from this kind of stuff... /sigh

[Nuinn]

Blah, blah, blah. . . . put marriage in game. Free-for-all, race and gender. People will be wtf?! whyyy?!?!?! for a week then they'll forget about it, if it's something that doesn't interest them as an activity.

Same like Gobbues. A lot of people were really excited about them, a lot were appalled, now no one cares or rides them. Give marriage to those who wanna ride their spouse!
