Marrige in FFXIFollow

I saw someone with a wedding ring in their inventory, but that's all I've seen of it...

Mmmm...

My little taru maried to a mithra.

I love the idea.

I'm getting excited.

I'm thinking about...



the fat bald guy playing the mithra :(

TT - On second thought, I like the bachelor's life.

I've seen several marriages in MMO games. Someone I believe got married in EQ and AC2 awhile back. It happens and usually they are hardcore fanatics who've been playing together for a few years. So a marriage in FFXI wouldn't surprise me.

Xander

An old co-worker used to play AC1 24/7 except at work (not a problem, happens to us all), he met his future wife in the game and eventually moved in together in RL. Months and months later the wife was cheating on him with someone else in game and they got a divorce, she took his computer and everything....(Later he got fired for sexual harrassment, haha)

Christ people, I think we should leave this thread alone. what ya say?

Who would WANT to marry a Galka? O_o

I think it's a cute idea as long as it's roleplaying. I for one would like to know who I'm marrying.

I dunno, i don't think I could do the whole marriage thing. Playing FFXI is already a lot of commitment for me, haha. Not only that, people still are stuck on the idea it seems that all Mithra are played by women. I didn't mind until people constantly started referring to me as "she" and "her" in parties. I'd hate to get married to someone who thought the whole time I was female TT

We Elvaan have long enough necks, I think we'd be close enough. o_O

How is it creepy? I can look at that in 2 ways:


A) Perhaps maybe I miss some of the social nuiances of this game.

B) Perhaps I prefer to marry someone in real life that I actually know/love and avoid the "Internet love fest" thing.

It might be worth it if you got bonuses to stats or something. Like there are pieces of equipment that say "+1 to VIT (or some stat) when in an area controlled by your country / in an area not controlled by your country." Maybe if it was like "+5 to All stats for staying married to the ball and chain for so long while in the same party (^_^)" it could be beneficial. Or if you could gain some kind of gil by staying married (from your country) that might be of some interest. Other than that, I don't find it too.. appealing or necessary.

Well in escence, your chracter tends to be an extension of your self. Unless your one of the very few people who actually do "Role Play", in this Role Playing Game. But i think what scares most people, and me, is that someone would be so devoted to the game life that they would want to Marry a game Character. What kindof sick expectations would you have form such a union. Would you get mad if they partied with someone other than you? Marriage is a pretty involved thing, a fantasy marriage like this in a game just wouldn't work in my opinion.

I'm personally not "married" in-game, nor do I know anyone who is, but seriously, it's not a big deal, it's a game.

Do you feel like a girl when playing FFX-2? It's just your character. Granted, there is more of YOU in your character in this game then in a one player RPG, but it's still only a character.

I could see people saying it's "sick" or "creepy" if people got too attached for whatever reason (the "it's just a game" argument goes both ways, in this instance).

However, I'm under the impression that most people doing this are only doing it for fun, with friends they've made in-game.

That constatly happens to me, but it's because I'm a female playing male characters. I have 2 male hume, and 1 male Elvaan. I always found it funny, when I would adventure with a TaruTaru friend of mine. (Who was male IRL) and there would be hugging and slightly racy jokes between him and my male Elvaan, of course he knew I was female, but nobody else did. Hee ^-^

My RL girlfriend plays so.. ya i'd get married to her in game...
