"you havent log on for a long time, I found another guy"
"WHAT?? you get demoted from an officer to a normal member?? I want a divorce!!"
"Where were you, I told you to come back to Guild Hall by 9:00pm"
"Mission, Mission, Mission, did you ever stop and think what I WANT??"
"Wo stop, your friends are watching~~"

.....o the drama.....
AND I HATE WATCHING PEOPLE MAKING OUT IN FRONT OF ME!!!

Okay, so the fight started anyway. Let me restate some points from my post.
1)Its got harmless amusement factor
2)this game has orpg in the title. I find this doubly amusing because someone who shall remain nameless said this is a corpg/mmorpg 'not a role playing game'. Last I checked, the orpg in both those means"online role playing game".

Yes, GW is not the stand online game which follows the curve on everything. But if players want something, Anet tends to put their own unique spin into the mix before giving it to us(if they decide to give it). So standard rpg elements like life skills(which I know some people want) might not make it in here in the usual form (if at all, doesn't seem to fit the game well) while other factors like online character marriage might take on a unique form(such as a title which doesn't count towards KOABD, pure entertainment factor).

So please don't bash an idea because this game isn't a standard rpg. If its amusing, harmless, and doesn't detract from gameplay for those that don't have it: I say put it on the list of things to add.

But that's just my 2 cents

*please note I did not say to add it on the list above more important things like skill balances, the next chapter, etc. K?

lol just think of all the mini-pet replicas of you and your spouse running around.

And to the comment about political correctness and 2008, it depends where you live, it was 2005 here when same sex marriages passed I believe... which might bring in other issues. Sell that to China.

TBH I really don't care one way or another.

*Darcy* · Jan 03, 2007, 07:41 PM // 19:41

I find this request amusing, but harmless overall. No one would be forcing you to marry, it would be optional.

Some questions though for OP.

1. How do you think ANet should handle the marriage - by character or by account? I have 8 characters, if one of them were to marry, would all of them be considered married to all of the other accounts characters. If they had more or less than 8, how would it work?

2. How would missing spouse be handled? Characters disappear for various reasons - inactivity, banned or stolen account, deletion.

3. What exactly would be the point of these marriages? You can't expect ANet to keep adding "married couples only" content so it would be a one-time event with no follow-up.

Also, I don't think there are that many players who would be interested. ANet announced 3m units sold - and believe me that was mostly to males. Who then created female characters so they could dress them in sexy clothes and fantasize. (Not knocking males, the smaller percentage of women players create male characters for the same reasons.)

I will make a female elementalist and marry a rich UW farmer, then I will take all his money and then divorce him.

Some people in this thread really need to get of there high horse, why waste time creating weddings and such in game when ArenaNet could be putting the same time and effort in to making gameplay or adding new content that benefits everyone to the game. Hell why stop with marriages? Lets have births and children, religion, oh how about we add makeup and jewelry, lets add bars and nightclubs for evens out, don't like warping? lets add mounts and ride everywhere... the list can go on and on. You know what ArenaNet why don't you just cancel chapter 4 and release the Guild Wars Sims addon pack, afterall who wants more skills, missions and quests?

That really is a petty comment to make and from what I'm reading I getting the same vibe from most the people in favour of this, its not a question of wether it would be fun, meanful or an insight to the type of person you are its about the fact that Guild Wars is a GAME. I'm sorry for not asking for weddings ingame but I care about gameplay and I would have ArenaNet focussing on that then anything else, don't like it? Well tough because thats my opinion and no matter how you twist it into calling me a flamer and bashing the idea it comes down to one simple thing... gameplay before all else!
