Marraiges in Guild Wars 2
MirageMaster
I see many ppl are just too stupid here.I dont see how the OPTION to get married would ruin the game for anyone who dosent want to get in to rp relationship.As all option,you are not forced to use it but it will make game more attractive for alot of ppl who like to spend time together but too far apart in the real world.

Honestly I don't see how you can argue that GvG is just as important to the success of the game as in game marriage...seriously. The two just aren't on the same level.

I see...because we don't want them working on something that will not really add anything to our game...we're "stupid"...
everyone is entitled to their opinion...using insults (however minor) lowers mine...of you...grow up and debate properly or don't debate at all.
Again I call for this thread to be moved out of the GW:EN forum...

Again I call for this thread to be moved out of the GW:EN forum... first of all its not your game,second if it wont add anything then why you even bother? insult or not,it is my opinion of you and i dont care what kind you got of me.And try not to tell me what to do,it wont work.

I don't see the problem. It wouldn't ruin the overall experience for people who don't want to use the feature, and if it really comes to the point where people are spamming for significant others, then we're just looking at chat bans.
While people who don't in-game roleplay wouldn't make use of the feature, it helps provide depth to the roleplay experience of those who enjoy it.
Everyone raves about the auction house, what use is it to those who don't enjoy player-to-player economy? Just like how marriage is of no use to those who don't enjoy roleplay. Marriage will do nothing to ruin the integrity of the franchise, just open new doors for the player customization that Guild Wars prides itself on.

You do have a point
I rarely GVG or PVP
I love PVE ,festivities.races etc
On the contary Options like marriage would add a fun part to the game
dont see why people are freaked out so much.
Like a guy mentioned clicking on pixels (killing someone virtually) can be fun why not marriages
I would like to see more of off PVP or GVG or for that matter off PVE fun activities so be it..

IMO gvg is a something that should be added...it won't affect my gameplay at all...but I still think it should be added...keeps up the whole "Guild Wars" aspect of the game you know. I see no reason to add marriage when there are other things that are more important to add to the game. Now if they come to the community and say "ok we've added most of the things we intend to add...any other suggestions?"....then I wouldn't care if marriage was suggested. I'm talking about priorities here.
Mirage...maybe I should have been more specific...."my gameplay"...
You have every right to your opinion...just like I do...and right now there are more important things that should be considered for the game.
Again I ask for this thread to be moved from the Eye of the North Forums....do mods even pay attention to their duties here?

Can I simply say, that this is a game, and Marriage simply isn't anything to be played at...It's not a game, and it's not a joke, and while I personally don't actually believe in marriage, for those people who do I just find it a little strange to have fake, online weddings. It just seems disrespectful to the sanctity of the whole union. :S

Because hey if thats the logic, lets just get rid of pvp and focus all manpower on a kickass story mode.

I read the first 3 and last 3 posts before posting.
Here we go...
At first I read "in game marriages" and I thought "what are you all hopeless nerds or something"? Whoops, some rhetorical accidentally slipped and fell into my question. The next thing I thought was, hey, I'm married in real life! I could get married in game and maybe some of the creepiness will be diminished! But then...then the word "creepiness" sunk in, and I realized that some huge majority of the gamers are going to be male...with female characters. So 2 irl males will be having online lesbian marriages? DON'T TELL THE REPUBLICANS!! Oh God no. But then I remembered something else in the past I had read...about people getting married in WoW, and I remembered how I had used this to poke fun at a friend of mine about his WoW playing. Something like "yeah, you know well, I don't play a game where people get married in game". It occurs to me that in 2, 5, or 10 years I'll probably still want that to be true. It's an association thing, y'know. Do we REALLY want our in game comrades to be doing things so nerdy it would make Urkel blush?
I say not.

I left Maplestory over this. I'll tell you how it ruined that game: Every 2 seconds, the chat box would be filled with serverwide spam.. "So and so's wedding is now starting in Channel 2". That got extremely distracting and annoying. It got to the point where I couldn't carry on a conversation with the rest of my guild because these annoying messages, which I could not turn off, were all over the place. Also, I don't think adults ought to be forced to walk through towns and see 2 kids who think their pixelated characters are kissing. If that's some peoples cup of tea, fine, let them do that in private, but don't force it on the rest of us who think it's just damn stupid.

I like the idea, yeah you may sit and say "oh my god thats so lame" or "god get a life you so sad" but its a ROLE PLAYING game and there are a few people that take the whole RP aspect seriously. I'm not one of these myself but i have come across them. just makes the game a bit more fun i mean you dont have to run round declaring your love to these people right? could be you and a friend having a laugh trying to somehow link both of ya characters. I mean you already got the whole ancestory (is that a word) idea with the Hall of Monuments thers gotta be some sort of Family Tree happening there?
This wouldnt be first game to do it either other games havent flopped.
and I play this with my girlfriend and i know other people do to... just another comedy little thing to add lol. I dunno i quite like the novelty of it

Indeed, I wouldn't like to see unknown people's marriage... I think it should be done at the Guild Hall or whatever is it on GW2, and you could invite guests, like we do most of the time. Just like IRL : you don't ask random people to go and see your marriage, that would be creepy...
Jessyi : If you (and your friends) dislike the idea, there's no reason to complain. Is someone that plays 1-2 hours a day and roleplays nerdier than someone who plays 8 hours a day without roleplaying ?

Why do people care for things they are not forced to do? Are the nay-sayers that incapable to move on and let others do whatever they are allowed to ingame?
It's ok for me, let people e-marriage, RP or not. Let them have wedding parties with fireworks yadda yadda yadda...
I don't have to stand there and watch it.
Get over your pityful selves.

I think this is kind of a fun idea, if it is not something you can do in outposts/town.
it comes with a price, you have to go to kind of a "chapel" which is very hard to reach, something like making FoW armor
scenario
bride: lets get married
groom: lets
*invites 6 more friends* to go/fight to chapel
half way groom dies (this is one quest the bride or groom can't die) or you have to start all over

I think marriage would be an interesting quest or mission concept, though. Think about having to marry, say, a pirate lord (or his daughter, depending on your character's gender) so you'd get your hands on some powerful artifact that's needed to slay plot-related evil dragons etc.
I'd also welcome a place where players could possibly host their own weddings, like a small chapel with rows of pews for friends/relatives, but I agree that anything leading to "wtb wife" is not welcome.

I talked to my fiancee and she thought this would be kind of a fun idea. She realizes that it's not a really serious thing but it would just be an interesting twist on the game. Maybe this feature would appeal to females with spouses and/or boyfriends that play? Just a thought.

Dont u think, Anet would not be clever enough, to learn out of the mistakes of other games ??
Where is the Problem then to implement under the options to deactivate such messages, whenu want not see them.
Why must people ever so plain smallminded about things they don't like, but nobody enforces them do to ?
Let simple the majority which wil enjoy this feature have their fun... as long all those, which dislike this feature have their possibilitys not getting annoyed with any server messages or that they have to see a wedding, because they would be naturally instanced so that only those people can look the wedding, which want really look it, or which the 2, which will marry have allowed to look the wedding.
In this case ive the absolutely same opinion, like Surena.
I dislike people, which want to destroy good funny ideas they don't personally get enforced into, which do it only,cause they made with this feature in other games bad experiences, because the feature wasn't so, as they hoped it would be perhaps or only because such messages annoyed them only and developers of the game weren't just clever enough, to make those messages deactivatable.
For every RP Player is a good marriage system a "must have feature", because it makes simple much fun and looks a lot better, as when u have to do a wedding all by urself in ur fantasy alone.... thats just boring and gives no real rp flair, when a wedding has no system with NPC's, wedding clothes, music and so on ...
That is, as if u would implement an auction house, but with no way of putting ur stuff into an auction, and say then, u have to think in ur fanatsy, how u put ur stuff into an auction and how u sell it -.-.
Marriages give NO personal advantages, they exist just 4 fun, don't u people get this in ur heads ?`thats the dumb reason we all play this game here - to have FUN and marriages would be a nice thread for GW2 to have more fun... at least for those who would love to enjoy this feature then.
But they should be then only for players of same race.. a wedding between a Charr and an Asura would be just weird ...
And again for the secism problem:
Why have people such problems with this ... its ONLY A GAME
Cross gender Players r in MMO's absolutely normal, it gives no online game like GW, where players don't cross gender, and that on both sides, it r not only male players, which love to play with female characters, because they r at 99% ever more sexier then the male versions of the same profession and look better, there exists too few famels ,which play with male characters, but no one disturbs it -.- let players simple play as what they want and RESPECT IT .. OMFG, as u want, that other players respect u too ..., regardless of what gender u r in RL.
Who can't respect cross genders, has imo to grow up and learn more about respect and tolerance.

o.O lol I was thinking more along the lines of having a chapel in a major city that you pay a large amount of in-game gold for the use of Figure handle it how Ultima Online used to, which was very successful.

It's not that bad of an idea. It's something that some of the older and more mature players could enjoy and have fun with, because (for the most part) the older gamers play the game for what it is - a game - and keep a perspective on things.

I think it's an interesting concept, certainly one worth exploring. If they do decide to move in the "marriage" direction, it's a brave, bold step forward for the game.
I fail to see how such an idea is demeaning to the concept of marriage, other than to assume that the prevalent belief is that people will, as a rule, treat it either a: too seriously, or b: not seriously enough (an excuse to cyber, for instance.) In either case, the problem lies with the individual, rather than the concept itself; why abandon the concept for the ones who might be more decent about it because of the ones who won't? That's like banning football matches because people get rowdy in the stands.
The in-game marriage concept would be a step forward for games, if handled properly. For instance, an earlier poster commented that in one game, he/she was getting spammed by the system itself announcing pending nuptials. I, too, would have wanted to kill myself with a rock at that point. There are clearly better ways to have done it.
As long as games continue exploring stuff like this, I think we will all have more to enjoy playing. Its when companies stop innovating that the games start to suck.

Marriage auctions, you say?
Hey, what do you know, the 20 under 50s will be worth a lot more than 15 above 50s.

Look, EQ and other games have ingame marriage systems and its not a big deal. As it is, my RL husband better not marry anyone but me, talzek, or psi >_>
That said I don't have a problem with it, it SHOULDN'T affect anyone not wanting to take part and who knows it may actually cut down on the stupidity of WTB GF 50g! I seriously doubt it could make it worse.

Yay for open-mindness...
It's not always about "zomg I want an in-game lover!!!!1"... And even if people want e-relationships, it's their problem not yours.
It can be too "My character and this one are in love in rp. Why not marry them ? It would be fun and it fits to our roleplay."
People who do that can be married IRL and just playing... May they be in love or not.
I still don't see the point about saying "zomg this cannot be added to the game!!" if you aren't forced to do it, and it doesn't only apply to marriages.
Of course if marriages are public or if you are spammed with "X and Y are being married here" I understand the problem, but if it's private there's no reason to complain... Are you ashamed or what ?
Can someone explain ?

Would it actually enchance your experience in any way?
Probably not
Would it be a lot of time and effort on ANet's part, better spent on developing patches for GW2?
Yes, too much.
Would it lead to possible child-molester/sex-offender/general perversion to seep into this game?
Undoubtedly.
Is it a novel idea?
yes
Is the effort required really worth it?
Not really
Don't think of this on a psychological level, or a moral level, just think of the consequences of it and the energy involved. I'd prefer to see ANet implementing amazing alliance battles instead of spending time developing matrimonial ceremonies.

dont feel no pain
Sure to some it may be nice... fun... good for role play... but the sad truth is it would result in this:
"ZOMG OMFG YOUR CHARR IS HOT, I BET YOUR THAT HOT TOO, IF YOUR A GIRL... ARE YOU A GIRLL..... WHAT ARE YOU WEARING... ...............MARRY ME, MARRY ME!!!! I'LL HAX YOU IF YOU DONT, NOOB!! COME ON!!! PLEASE!...."
>_< for the love of gw no!

Actually, there are inherent legal issues that need to be considered. If you "marry" someone you think is 18+ and they're only, say, 14 or so and pretending to be older so they can get married... well, think about it... how often do you hear about "married" couples engaging in cyber-sex. If you try to initiate "relations" with someone under-age, whether or not you know it...
Just slow down and think about it. One mistake could ruin your life and reputation. One over-zealous judge and you're labeled a sex offender for life. One kid see something go further than they imagined and goes running to mommy or daddy...
Slow down and think about it. Please.

I'm sorry that I'd rather look a cute female warrior and monk than an ugly male one. I have every right to be a prevert.
Personally I find the whole idea of Marrage (In real life or a game) totally pointless, but if you want it THAT badly, who am I to oppose?
