Hi all,

2 days ago i visited the GW website and it showed a header with the following lines:

(some name that i forgot), will you marry me?

- Love, (another name^)

There was a dervish female wearing a shiny ring and a paragon sitting on his knees in front of here, proposing.

When i checked in today to find more info about it the header was gone from the site and i didn't see any posts on this forum either.

My question to you is: what do you think of marriage in GW?
and: do you already know some1 in GW to get married with?

- Bunneh

LOL, i was just thinking "maybe using the company site for personal use isn't the smartest thing to do".

I think that's sweet. I'd also bet Sam got teased mercilessly for days over that.

I'm sure he had permission... or at least I hope so. i think it's cute! Aww I want to know happened now... I think it's only fair that Gaile lets us know since Sam posted it for all to see.

Well, that is your opinion, but if they're both gaming devs/nerds...whatever, then I think it is pretty unique and cool. As far as growing balls and doing it face to face....what is your point??? There's probably thousands of guys out there every day proposing to their girlfriends and most of them are probably the same ol' boring standard proposals.

I say you should do whatever suits you, but keep your idiotic self centered opinions to yourself if they don't pose anything constructive.

It adds the the RPG elements of the game. Just because they add it doesn't mean you have to use it. I for one and all for in-game marriages, after all, it IS an RPG, y'know?

yea, because proposing infront of the entire webstaff, and basically anyone on the interweb who may be stopping by the site is easier.

Good point Hand of Ruin!

As for getting married in the game... they're going to have to allow gay marriages... or it wouldn't be used very often.. still i don't know if i believe you "heard about marriage" from any reliable source. Sounds unlike to me but wouldn't care either way.

I'm no mush-ball, so I've just got one thing to say:

"AWWWWWWWW!"

It takes a lot of guts to do something like that, Hand of Ruin's got it right. I only wish I had the creativity and brass balls to have pulled off something like that when I proposed. I hope the worst this guy got was razzed and maybe a noogie. I also hope she said yes!

What he did took more balls than asking someone in person to marry him. There is nothing wrong with other people publicly knowing you care about someone enough to marry that person. Besides maybe he felt this would be more romantic. If you quit guildwars why are you still posting here? lol Oh and can I have some of your stuff since you wont be needing it anymore?

he did a "public" proposal. to ask someone to marry on a site thats on your every friends and coworkers desktop first thing in the morning, takes more balls then to ask face to face alone in the room.

But what if Sam's actually another girl? That'd be a bit.... unfortunate.

I'm sure he didn't stop to think about the fact that he was doing it in front of more people than if he did it face to face. It can sound lame at first till you stop and think how *sweet* it is.

i imagined the scenario.

Sam: phones Adelle
(Ring ring)
Sam: Hi Adelle, can you please check the rating of Ooo The Ancients oooO [aNc]? I don't have Internet here atm and someone wants to know.
Adelle: Sec. What's the full address of Guild Wars' ladder?
Sam: Just go www.guildwars.com and click the icon there that says Guild Wars ladder.
Adelle: goes to guildwars site
Adelle: OMG. YES!

Meanwhile..

You: What the f is this banner doin here? Will they implement a marriage npc in game?

That's pretty awesome. It's always great to see how guys come up with creative ways to propose.

I have a feeling he probably had permission.

I would so hate to be in her shoes, if she said no, people all around the world would think she's a heartbreaker, is she said yes, people would think she's into cyber love.

God i hate it when things like this happen.

Personally I think thats very sweet! Its a creative way, they are anet devs and hey, he probably got down on one knee sometime after that banner. From my point of view I think guild wars weddings are sweet, as long as well done by two SMART people (as opposed to 'wil u mary me??'). Also I believe its truley possible for two people to get married in real life from meeting on guild wars. It happens on other MMO's, it'll happen here as well. Sometimes its even easier if both people are acually shy in finding a relationship in real life.

Am i the only one who thought this was hilarious. Nice delivery and punchline. And the fact that so many ppl make references to homosexuality in the game makes it believable.
