"put in unwilling person" will be unable to "put in what that person is unwilling to go through the hardship to obtain".

Fact is that some want to do this kind of thing and some do not want to. If people want those items yet don't want to get married they can buy them from others or take the sweet with the sour and get married anyways.

I know what you are saying, but, if you make a necromancer, the game play/process/story line is and will always be the same as when you created any other profesion.

If one have no wish to buy Nightfall, its not there, hence its not something compare to quests/special marriage armors/rings implemented into a game, theses "marriage" stuffs will be there in the game. And it's going to be useless for players who have no use for it, as oppose to if one have Nightfall, they chooses not to play in Nightfall map, but the marriage stuffs is useless to most players who do not wish to get married in the game. Think about it, its different. You can't just go do marriage quests get the rings and wedding gown just for the fun of participating. It would be so pointless if the final outcome isn't to get married in the game.

Holy RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO this thread is hilarious. Next time I need a good laugh I'm coming to this forum. Anyways, so let's say I get married right, I have a title or whatever. What happens then? Everyone else has the same title but nobody wears it because it means nothing. COOL IDEA

For the amount of work you put into coming up with long, futile, and meaningless responses to everyone's post, you couldn't even come up with a good idea. And what's this with 900 roleplayers wanting a roleplay server? I bet half of them were you and your cursed account ya RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOin' moron.

Also I laughed at how the 'Curse You' fellow with the necro avatar is the same person as OP. Let's force our idea with two accounts, this way we can get married auahuehuahuehuahuehuahuehuahueh.

Yeah the main storyline is the same. But certain starter and crystal desert quests are only available to people who are full or part Necro. My argument was pretty much that seeing how he said people were "unable to participate" in the marriage quest because they don't want to be married, then everything in the game has the same issue and therefore should not be implemented by that logic. Since that seems pretty silly the point I argued against isn't really valid

If someone buys NF it's not there: Not quite true. It's not there to that person but to any other person it is, since it's an MMO. That guy can still be hit by Searing Flames i PvP, he can still be envious at the elite armor of someone who got NF and so on. Point is he has to make a sacrifice in order to get those things one way or another.

You said: "marriage" stuffs will be there in the game. And it's going to be useless for players who have no use for it.
Well of course. Getting a title is useless for the people who have no use for it, getting an Elite Armor is useless for people who have no use for it.
It's simple logic what you are saying but nevertheless not a valid point as to why we shouldn't bring in marriages.

"You can't just go do marriage quests get the rings and wedding gown just for the fun of participating." Exactly why can't you do that? If you want to, do it. If you don't, don't. There is of course the issue that you require another person to do it. But you also require another person to do anything in PvP. If marriage was implemented you can imagine a whole new sort of player relations not to mention the "LF marriage partner" Lines in Spamadan :P

I do see plenty of valid reasons not to implement it. However I will fairly say that certain arguments against it are invalid.

/not signed for several reasons:

1. Marriage is not a game
2. creepy
3. cheesy

If you want to consume the marriage we'll need emotes like /blowjob etc.

Only the people who can't get a woman either in-game or real life think that, I know more than several women on this game quite well and from what I've seen, unless they're very feminine looking men then oops.

That would be..entertaining...somewhat. Those people who try and make the emotes look like they're actually doing it already would be so happy. I've seen female characters sit and male elementalists /dance repeatedly in their faces.

Though noticing this thread is from 07' I'll still give my input...It's a stupid idea and a waste of time.

I dont think its a bad idea at all, but, i dont think getting married to another PC is good. maybe you could get married to an NPC like in the game fable, i thought that was fun for a bit myself.

The only reason people get married ingame, like RO, is to get the perks that come with it. In RO you get easy teleport skills, full heal of hp and sp AND you can make a BABY character.

In GW the only thing it would be is a money sink, how i don't know, make every marriage cost 250K gold? There are still people that don't have that kind of money and they can't get married untill they go no life farm mode.

The honeymoon island is also ripped from RO because they have it too. First the designers need to make a complete new map, then they have to make something to that can be done there, because else the only thing you can do is chat. And you don't need a whole seperate island to chat now do you?

Marrying NPCs would be better, make something like zaishen menagerie. An outpost called whatever, and then a portal to goes to your house. You can then proceed to buy a wife, pets, houses,... For this you can use something like a butler or something thats uses the same mechanics as your guild lord in GH to buy stuff. A purely cosmetic update but that would make a fairer goldsink, because people that don't have the money don't need to buy it and so on.

Do the marriage quests when you don't want your character to get married? And purposely finding a marriage partner in Kamadan... what ever for!?

oh, wait, or are you saying it will be fun to wear a bridal gown and parade them in Kamadan, just because theres such a quests available? Or WTS, wedding Ring 2000000e + 100k? I don't think so! or, try this: Running couples to get wedding ring, 1 spot left! Someone needs a marriage partner, leaving soon!

"And purposely finding a marriage partner in Kamadan... what ever for!?" As with everything in this game: Fun, killing time, getting cash, getting gear.

"oh, wait, or are you saying it will be fun to wear a bridal gown and parade them in Kamadan, just because theres such a quests available?!" Probably for some people, yeah. Why the hell would you want a Everlasting tonic if not for A) Own pleasure or B) Showing off? Or a Festival cap for the same reasons? It's not just because such a quest is available. If you feel like you HAVE to do something just because it's possible then you need at least 1 million years to do everything in the world. Don't do it because you can. Do it because you want to.

"Or WTS, wedding Ring 2000000e + 100k? I don't think so!" Again pretty much the same with everlasting tonics lol. Besides it doesn't have to be overly expensive. Can just be a sidething that takes like an hour and then gives those items/title/w/e

"Running couples to get wedding ring, 1 spot left! Someone needs a marriage partner, leaving soon!" Well you pretty much have your own idea of how this should work, don't ya?

Don't see why not XD

NO NO and NO. Marriage is in my opinion is a horrible idea. This game has players ranging from pre-teen to adult. Perhaps if this game was geared more to one or the other then it would be appropriate.

To anyone who voted yes who is over the age of 18: Please for the love of god stay away from my kids!!!

I could see the value of IG marriages for RP (and y'all don't try to tell me Guild Wars isn't an RPG - even if you don't believe it's an MMO, it's still a CORPG and still has that little "RP" in it!) and for couples IRL, but it just doesn't seem like a great idea.
A) My guild is nigh inactive ever since last year's e-drama with the GL and his girlfriend and his ex... so unless they implement a divorce court (!) I could see a lot of people being really unhappy with it.
B) Marrying someone you don't know IRL (unless it's just RP) is just creepy.
C) If you really want to get married IG, just dye your armor whatever color is appropriate in your culture, find a friendly Monk willing to read the vows, and exchange, I dunno, Red Iris Flowers or Shimmering Scale Amulets or something. Ta-da! Done. And it's reversible; just trash the trinkets or something. Didn't a couple of devs get married that way IG right after the game released? I thought I saw that in the news archives.

Anyway, I voted "meh" but I'm leaning towards no. Besides, the only characters I have that I'd want to get married a)would get married to each other, which is impossible since they are on one account and b) are lesbians, which you know they ANet won't allow because they would rather avoid controversy (and I'd rather that IG marriage not exist and just be able to believe that GW is a more open and welcoming world). Actually, most of my guy friends play girls, and their girlfriends play girls... so they'd be unhappy.

Besides, you know that if there were IG marriage, it'd cost no platinum. I can see the announcement now: "Now available in the Guild Wars In-Game Store: Marriage Kits!"

Also, lol at whoever rezzed a 2-year-old topic.

This is a pathetic idea for people who can't get either a boyfriend or girlfriend in real life.

If you want to use this idea... Second Life says hi.

Maybe a bit harsh isn't it? Although I agree with the Second Life thing :P

It could also be an idea for people who likes to bring in other people in your imaginary games, aka roleplaying.

However if it IS for the imagination of players there really is no need to actually implement it. It's a low priority to A-net.

this isn't somthing needed in-game some people get way to into a game and go nuts. The only way i would ever consider this is if they made some sort of benifit in game like for example being with your partner during battle increases your life or something.

I'd want a tax break and ability to get financial aid in the game.

Otherwise, if you want "marriage", get another player to "perform services" and just act it out. Name the characters with the same last name. Give those characters similar armors and colors. Otherwise, let's keep the Second Life realism out of it.

Technically, as it has a non-interactive storyline, it's no more an RPG than, say, final fantasy or oblivion are. Want an example of an RPG? Planescape: Torment.

Wow, that's a really narrow definition of an RPG. Games I have played that I would consider RPGs that that excludes:
Oblivion
Might and Magic VIII and IX
Guild Wars
WoW

Games I have played that that includes:
KotOR I and II
Jade Empire.

So, basically, if you don't shape the face of the bloody world, it's not an RPG? Sorry. So long as you aren't given a set character with no choices, a la Half-Life (ignore for now that that definitely isn't an RPG), so long as the game has you make a character whose personality isn't pre-defined, it's an RPG, because there is that potential for RP.

I still think ingame marriages are a dumb idea, though. I would go into a "Y'know, back in the day, people just had a page of stats and a lead figure to go by" rant, but I won't. I'll just say that an in-game wedding feature would annoy more people than it would please, and it's not that difficult a thing to do without official implementation.

There seems to be absolutely no point to this suggestion, other than to support those players who use guild wars as a chat room trying to find pretend boyfriends/girlfriends or for cyber.

Seeing as this idea has no relevance to gameplay, the idea of a pretend marriage belongs either in a chat room for lonely hearts or should simply stay in your head, which incidentally is where such internet relationships are truly based.

If you want to pretend you are with someone, go buy yourself an escort.

Well. on some games you can get married to another player. and you get a item (rings) and when you party together they give you bonuses.

Its a good idea and already been done.
