I don't see the point in it really. So many people who don't get out or socialize much would take this a bit far if it happend.

No point to this at all and people would just disband marriages over and over to max out a title towards Kind of a Big Deal.

You are handing a tool to child molesters to make it easier to attack children. Would it be cheesy fun? no realy whats the point? It is an adventure based game. not a RPG. You dont go get a normal job have kids and settle down on the farm. You go kill charr, shiro and abbodon. These places are not where you would want to start a familly.

again Get Help! Get Therapy.

Hmm Mr Rat, I dont see me contradicting myself at all. If I'd said, oh it would be fun, and then later said, its not that fun, then id be contradicting myself. Im also sad to find that you give the players of GW so little credit by saying they cant tell the difference between real life and the virtual world.

By the way you so wantonly dole out the flames, "get help", "seek therapy", it seems its u who cant seem to differentiate between those who just want to have a laugh and the sickos you seem to be so familiar with. If you dont want ppl of unknown origin in contact with each other, why dont you close down the internet, ban online games, cos believe me, even without the marriage gimmick, there are still paedo sickos out there anyway, preying on god knows who. But thats neither here nor there, I was referring to the concept being fun, and if you look at it lightheartedly, it is, even if other ppl think its pointless.

Me, get help? Look in the mirror mate!

why some ppl are so upset
it's the char that's gonna marry not them lol
anyway i often though how my necro/ele/ranger/whatever looks good with someone elses character and i though to myself hay i want to marry them xD
but not in the way u described in the first post
i dont need quests rewards special island and so on
just some mark that my woman is married (and avoiding stalking naked wammos xD)

p.s. and im not gonna marry a random suspicios player
would definetely be a friend or guildie

This is a real stupid idea. Get a life if you really feel the need to get married in a game. What's next? Blind dates in WoW? Come on, ffs... If you need someone to talk to, PM me, I may find a doctor that can help you if you're losing grip on reality. I'm dead serious.

It's threads like this that give the Suggestions forum a bad name, because it's only one's greedy desire for such a function in their wild imaginations... If that's the case, I woulda asked for guns in GW long ago with Bow Skills...

But honestly, can we try to come up with something that is worth Gaile Gray's time to read and consider?

With 78% of the poll NOT voting for marriages ingame, I believe the answer to this question is quite clear.

/notsigned with a wolverine on top. I see the value behind the idea, but instead of asking Anet to spend a lot of time implementing something that very few people would take advantage of, how about getting them to fulfill some of the promises they've already made (improved trading system, variable profession hero, grind-free economy etc.)?

Well since you can have characters of both genders and guilds, friends list, etc are already per account, I'm guessing marriages, if implemented, will also be account based ...

/meh otherwise, as I doubt I'll be using it except as a joke.

But I'm srue some of you want to touch more little childrens... It can't be bad because they don't think it is!!!!! I see this a being a great median for pedophiles; Revolutionary in fact! Which thus brings more customers to anet (everyone wins) and we all know they need more after recent nerfs which caused many whine bags to leave. 1!1

Indeed. Those spamming "I look for a gf" in a trade chat would probably love it.

In some of the usually deserted outposts I sometimes see couples sitting together. I guess they might like this addition too. However for me this kind of entertainment should be kept aside from video game.

well, /notsigned for adding another title. Especially a stupid one.

Marriages in other games have certain advantages - usually something along the lines of teleporting one person to the other or hunting in party advantages. But you can't do that in gw.. you can't teleport into an instance and have more than 8 in your party.. you get nothing more or less when you hunt together.. so whats the point? simple roleplay? You can do that without an official marriage thing. Why would they even bother creating all this new stuff to get married when it doesn't even do anything?

ROFL what yo ulive in your mothers basement? isnt this kinda stupid? get married in RL. BTW real story, wife found out her husband had a internet wife on second life and divorced him. She plays WoW....

But in all seriousness this doesnt effect gw economy, gameplay or improve it it anyway. If you wanna get married on the internet go to facebook or myspace and screw around over there. Dont come into GW. /Not signed

Aside from the temptation of new outfits, GW seems to be a very romance-free game as far as gameplay (the instances) and lore (exception being Mhenlo and Cynn xD) goes. I don't want to see marriages happening any time soon.

No.



Besides. My Warrior is going to have hot, horny sex with Jora in order to ensure lots of reincarnations of me for GW2.
I don't need no ugly lvl 5 ele when I have Jora! <3

Jokes aside, GW just doesn't seem a good place for a romantic game. They tried with Mhenlo. They tried with Koss. But it all ended as a stupid sub-plot.

Don't get my wrong. GW's writers are AMAZING!
But they just simply don't excel at romance stories.
They DO, however, excel at making stories where we have any excuse possible to blow shit up with my sword and kill hundreds of innocent raptors

I'm all for it. It's definitely an odd idea, but it certainly wouldn't take anything away from the game. Also, you could have a title like, "Wife/Husband/Partner of Xx Fozzy Bear Xx" or whoever you marry.

It's funny how a grounded idea like marriage can receive such a strong, negative response. To those of you who are dismissing the idea because it is too "nerdy" - if you're posting on a guild wars forum, you probably play guild wars, and if you play guild wars that pretty much satisfies the definition of nerd. If that doesn't convince you, log on to GW and type /age - that number should tell you something.
