In-game marriage, will it make a return?

[Dragon]

If they just put stuff in there for "marriages" (ie gowns, suits, rings, empty gathering halls, etc..) and let players do what they want with it, that's the best way to handle it. The game shouldn't have any official recognition of marriage, and it shouldn't provide any benefit in-game either.

After all, MMO "marriage" is silly when you think about it... its just a BFF ceremony with some window dressing.

That is exactly what SE should do. 'sides, no one would be missing out on anything to begin with unless you really enjoy such terrible corny dialog that a mere child would put together.

For some reason I thought Japan would be socially liberal. They seem so progressive in nature. Or maybe its these damn bath salts again...

Generally, the Japanese people are progressive themselves. The government, not so much (and why there is tentacle rape to begin with).

Now imagine how unfair it would have felt if SE didn't even let you select which gender to play

And how unfair it'd be to restrict your gender to only playing your gender's traditional classes (female wanting to play tank/melee? no will do! male wanting to heal? sorry but your gender can only play these classes, you could always just not play after all!).
