Can we add lawsuits.... I would like to be able to sue people.

I particularly do not support the idea of spamming servers with announcements about your 'weddings' - why would you even think this is a good idea?!

There are plenty of online places for people to go to indulge in their virtual fancies; thankfully, DDO is not one of them. Far better and safer for everyone in Eberron that you sort this stuff out amongst yourselves elsewhere, I reckon. However, you can always put an announcement up on your server forum if you particularly want to have an online party to celebrate an in-game wedding - dev time is way better spent elsewhere, like building beautiful temples, mountains, dragons, battlefields, seething outer planes and sunsets to serve as backdrops for screen captures of your 'special day' heh.

Protip: If she doesn't care enough about you to hold onto the last charge on your gift, then she's probably getting her buffs from somebody else's ship, if you know what I mean.

Protip, necro threads suck.

[Cryohazard]

Really? Really? REALLY? C'mon folks, this is a COMBAT game, not eHarmony

just the thought of stumbling into a couple of honeymooning players shadowhumping each other in the ataraxia spa is enough to log me out for a couple weeks

Ahahahahahahahahaahha

Only if you can have polygamy and same-sex marriages, and of course interspecies. Also, someone has been reading too much C.J. Cherryh or something.

Also, They should only get the love bonus for the first year of the marriage, after that its -2 and -5% xp!.

Though having Kids as TRs would be amusing.

Go read Kushiel's Dart again. Though I'd dig some Mord-Siths in the game!

So Turbine, please include special locations like a Tunnel of Love.

Also, introduce the option of Marriage: an NPC with the power to wed 2 characters (except Warforged and maybe Dwarves) and publicly announce the wedding serverwide, just like how Guild Level milestones are advertised now. Whenever a married couple is near each other, they should receive a +1 Morale bonus to all rolls, and a +5% bonus to all healing effects from each other.

why should warforged and dwarves be exclueded from marriage?

[Deissa_Ironhand]

How bout if the marriage is dissolved....hmmm,half your partners gear....hmmmm....lawyer/attorney prestige class. Look out for dwarf lawyers....half...not a plat less...he,he,he...or greensteel...

[bigolbear]

much tho i apreciate the idea i think.

roleplayers can do this any way just fine.

why have an npc when you can have a guildy cleric conduct a ceremony, the guild crafter can make the rings(which of course as magic rings give bonuses), people can throw gliter dust as the happy couple walk down the 'probably trapped' isle of their choice.

having an offical marriage ceremony in game would probably cause all sorts of hassle - this way its the players rules not turbines.

[JollySwagMan]

My Cleric will marry any two souls for a nominal fee

Divorces though, you'll have to ask the Rogue.

[NaturalHazard]

My bards will sing at your wedding, for a fee.

[Postumus]

So have I, but that's not stopping me for wanting more. Is that so wrong?

What you're describing sounds like DDO SIMMS.

This would also give DDO something to do outside of quests, other than PvP and housekeeping.

What about all that fun CRAFTING you could be doing???

[Silverwren]

Are you kidding? Please tell me you're kidding. You CAN'T be serious!

This is just a bad idea with rabies.

/Not Signed, for the old OP.

So true it made me chuckle sadly into my beer. /Props.

meh, frickin' necro.

But only a couple months old. Was just starting to build up a good decomp aura. ...Besides, the thread is kinduv amusing even if the OP suggestion is failing to acquire a following.

[Blackmoors]

Yes, please stop develop real content like quests and more classes/races and go waste some time in spectacular things every RPG should have like the tunnel of love, thats what everyone wants really... And while your at it, please build some Churches and NPC Vendors that sell wedding rings and host live events of characters getting married, that would also be a great feature for a game which is called "Dungeons and Dragons"... Oh, and add some garden or farm so we can work on it like if we were on facebook, and give everyone some tamagoshi like pet, a fluffy rabit with pink pon pon tail... Very good sugestion really, I would give you a +1 on your post/thread but right now I cant because im tending to my Pink Little Pony!

[johnyBgood]

Well.. if the ingame wife is gaurenteed to NOT have the same NAG FEAT my real wife has.....then maybe....not

[cdbd3rd]

... but right now I cant because im tending to my Pink Little Pony!

That was just way TMI!

[katz]

i would love for there to be more emotes and/or "gift" items. but more than that? stat or skill bonuses? world announcements? no. and this is coming from a person who HAS performed an in-game wedding to another character/person (granted, it was another game, and i am married to that person IRL).

if you wish to have a wedding in game... that's great. gather your friends... hopefully one of them plays a cleric for the ceremony (paladin may do in a pinch) and someone else plays a bard for music... pick a nice location (ataraxia for a sun-drenched beach perhaps... restless isles for an exotic misty mountain/island look... etc... if you have 6 or fewer people you could even use in quest locations, like the gazebo where the memnos blossom lies in wait in Orphene's mind in VON flagging. that's a pretty location! . give the groom a top hat and the bride a circlet of some sort... use your imagination. your creativity. the game this game was based on built off those... use them.

Sarlona had a wedding this past March. A lovely affair except for all the "stealth humpers" molesting the bride.

As for providing some reward beyond an in-game recognition of the event or whatnot, I'll have to say no. Guilds are already friends with benefits. If two (or more) characters what to have some benefit to being married they should start a guild together.
