Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

[Zantetsuken]

Here's what I think.
Yes, allow it. I would dearly love to be able to marry my irl boyfriend in game, however, he picked a pretty catgirl, same as I did. I don't think either one of us plans on changing, and I imagine a LOT of other people are probably in the same situation.
Don't call it marrage, as that has super special meaning for Christians and such. Give it another name, like the ones suggested earlier in the thread. Say you have it enabled, weddings, happy party union times, the whole nine yards, but don't specify if it's one, the other, or both. If you don't like it, don't try to marry your best friend to see if it works, or you are stuck together for a good long time. ;P
Make a devorce quest, make it as expencive as can be. Make people think twice about having their unions. Make sure that they know what they are getting into, then we don't have people complaining about the above situation, and if they do go through with it then, they deserved it. :P
And hell, even if SE DOESN'T want to make it so GMs go over the cerimonies, at LEAST give us the option to craft the things needed. Then, people can have a cerimony where ever the crap they want to. Doesn't even have to be the specified happy union building.

I totally understand the big deal, it could backfire massivly [...]

I think your proposal is the best route - let the whole thing be player driven.

The sticky part of this is the word: 'Marraige/結婚/Heirat/Mariage/Matrimonio/결혼' - Most people opposed to same-sex marriage don't fuss much over legal equivalents (ie domestic partnerships)

If it does end up being a GM/NPC sanctioned event, SE had best come their own term: 'Soul Pairing/Love Pact/BFF Certificate/etc..'

Marriage a silly gimmick in an MMO anyways (gonna consummate that?)

BFF Certificate

I want a BFF Certificate!

I want a BFF Certificate!

Platinum Paramour's Pendant?

OH NOES!!! that event made it possible to receive the achievements for Valentione's day with a same sex partner! you could even achieve "Player Name has been recognized as a member of Eorzea's most loving couple during Valentione's Day!" with a same sex partner. In fact, some in my linkshell did manage to do so with a same sex couple.

I think calling it something else would put it under the radar too. There are other ways too.

lets be honest... if we have no useful benefit to getting married in game... do you really care?

Exactly, so we should allow same sex marriages because if it has no benefit then no one should care. Thus allowing it has no negative impact on people.

Do I care if same gender marriage is in game. NOPE.

Do I Care if there is Marriage in game period. Nope.

Do I care if marriage is in game and Same Gender isn't allowed. Yes.

That fact that people Attach gender to a bunch of pixels in game confounds me. It's a
Damn game. However saying that. My wife and I both play and were are both Miquo'te.
It would be nice to role play a little in game as married from time to time if it was allowed.

Oh I'm not against it.. I am very for it. I only want it because linking accounts with someone you trust who happens to be the right gender in game is a pain in the arse

I just want some sort of bonus for throwing my lot in with another character.. bonuses for partying together mog house visitation rights, exp bonus for sleeping in the same bed .. gear sharing ect. If its just a superficial thing.. i could give to shyts if it happens
