Eh. I think I will have to agree with Vahn Roi on this one. I mean, its cute and all. But pointless and a little game obsessive. I play GW with my boyfriend, but we aren't gonna get married on there. xD

But, eh, whatever floats your boat. Good luck. :\

well, it's a game, we certainly all agree on this... isnt farming pointless too ? or playing at all ? after all, you will have no real benifit from it in your real life, if you farm 5 ectos over 2 hours time, from a certain point of view it is wasted time.
so why does one still farm? because its fun and you want to achieve smth ( fow armor, nice weapon, whatever ).

and if they think it is fun getting married ingame, it is in a certain way as pointless as farming. your rl doesnt profit from it, but it makes the marriage couple happy.
farming and buying a new thing makes some happy, marrying makes others happy. it's the same :P

Perfectly fine idea and even Gaile said they're going to add in-game weddings in the future.

What...
What a brilliant point.
Does anyone who wants to come have to come Black Tie? I don't really know what I would wear as black tie. Black dye and smart new armour does cost a bit though.

Errr, right. Attack? Not that I was aware of... I had and so far still have zero interest in any sort of attack, first or second strike.

You said, "this isn't WoW." In response, I said "your point?", by which I meant, "how exactly does minor content in one game affect the existence or even the possibility of existence of similar content of another?" Perhaps you inferred some other intent to it - two lone words can be ambiguous - but I only wanted to know what WoW had to do with implementing an additional emote or two in Guild Wars, which, in and of itself, I couldn't care less about.

I don't really see any harm in this idea. I'm pretty sure real couples who play online games together would like a /kiss emote. Although, I would like it to be implemented so that the other end can have a choice to reject the kiss.

So to activate the kiss, it'd have to be like this:

Player X: /kiss player y
Player Y: /kiss player x

If there were no restrictions, you'd have idiots spamming /kiss everywhere. This should be a chat-filtered out emote like /sit so we would not have to witness people making out in the chat channels.

Edit: Uh... as for ingame weddings. No comment. Hahaha.

[email protected] who think you can rp in gw

As for the /kiss emote, sure.

prodikal · Jun 17, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

I could see the debates on the news now, "Marriage is between a man and a woman not a vidya game character! This is a mockery of the institution of marriage!" lol

fiery · Jun 17, 2006, 04:23 PM // 16:23

A wedding in GW has happned before, what is wrong in expressing love within a game? If they love each other let them go their own way on expressing. Las Vegas weddings are weird so why not in a game, theres elvis, starwars, etc.

/kiss
/hug

So many flamers, if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all. Your input isn't needed when putting someone else down. Immaturity not needed to be added.

There should be more RP content anyhow, instead of the standard
1. kill these mobs and see the next video clip roll by
2. join an alliance, flame the opposition.
3. I am the uber monster player bwaahaha and you all are my minions

I too sometimes use the game more like a chat program (remember mIRC?)

sit down and just chat with people from all over, sync-dance, play rock-paper-scissors, whatever. As for the RL couples playing together, I definitely see how they'd want a kiss/hug/slap emote

Keep the RP alive peeps, and have fun!

I just remembered that I didn't sign it. Must change that.

Heh... Congrats on your commitment... thingy

And yes, a wedding has indeed happened before, in the ANet staff, I believe. Anet threw a history-making weding w/ custom capes, ring-esque gifts, and all kinds of goodies, though I forget exacly who from the Anet staff got married.

Now, on that point, they did this ingame because GW represented a large part of their life - they developed it together, worked through blood and sweat to perfect it, and they wanted to celabrate not only their success in creating the game, but their love for each other.

Now that I got all that mushy, "It's so cute," crap out of the way, I wish you luck, though... I gotta ask: do you physically know this person, as in Real Life (tm)?

Curious

That's all - give em' a kiss emote!

I find this kind of silly, a kiss emote might not be bad, it would be abused, but so what.

I would like to see alot more community development, supporting "wedding" functions is way toward the end of the list for me, the community could improve with more social and Roleplaying elements long before they get into things like that.

I have my personal dislikes of RolePlaying Weddings, but it isn't a bad idea to add a kiss emote, although that is really a dual action and may not work very well.

WoW has a wedding feature? Shocking and... "uh?" really just don't cover my reaction. I guess they have to keep adding stuff to justify the pay-per-month thing.

Why stop with weddings? Let's add resturants, hotels, dry cleaners! I mean, since we're recreating that "real life" thing we stopped paying attention to into a Dungeon Crawl video game...

Pet Peeve of mine... I play Role-Playing Games, you know? The Pen and Paper type things (White Wolf Games for example), where you create a character and engage in not only physical situations, but mental and social ones too. One thing I hate, is when people want to play Hack&Slash characters, and engage in Dungeon Crawl (killing everything, "winning" by killing, gathering loot, concentrating on only combat.)

Another, is when I play Dungeon Crawl games, like Guild Wars (and as much as they call it an MMORPG, or a CORPG, or what not, it is to the definition of the word, a Dungeon Crawl game) and people want to treat it as a Role-Playing (Table Top-styled) Game.

At what point do you want them to impliment a "Wedding Move" in Chess so the King and Queen can get married?

Play the game for what it is. Please.

Role-Play on RP sites. Play Dungeon Crawl on DC sites.

Is it really that hard?

I'm not gonna read through all the posts, so disregard if it's been mentioned but, if you implement a /kiss emote, it might lead to some annoying people coming up to you and doing that emote. I'm already bothered by warriors with their pelvic thrusts while standing right next to me and following me. I know, its just pixels, but I'd rather not know what the person on the other side of the screen is thinking when they do that.

Chess is a strategy game. Guild Wars, is a CCORPG....the RPG stands for Role Playing.. Game.

Ok, then its been disregarded.

(I'm sure that would be similiar to how it would be implemented).

But, anywho, I don't understand why you people care. If they want to get married, let 'em. Its their prerogative. And it would be nice to see some more RP elements in the game. And other RPGs out there have in-game weddings. WoW, FFXI, and others. No one in those games has a fit because some one wants to get married, so just get over it. If they wanna RP, then as long as it doesn't effect you, why do you care. In FFXI, people have gotten married in-game, then got married in RL.
