I’ve never been but I have known people who had flings in games and got their main characters married for fun. There’s also irl couples that do it too and it’s cute. But I imagine there has to be some online divorces out there, how do they split the raid loot in the divorce?
Back in the day, in one of those K-Grinder MMOs that used to be all the rage. Gave my guild mate and I extra EXP, even more if we were partied up, and had some extra shit like special emotes and a title.
Can’t say it was worth it. Like a month later, they quit, so it was kinda pointless to do.
Did attend a couple FFXIV weddings. Those were fun, if you were into RP.
Cool, I think FFXI had special events for weddings
Yeah I got married in Nexus TK, you could teleport to your spouse with the wedding rings even in areas that blocked summoning people in.
You still in touch with that person?
Nah, still check in with WoW friends that I’ve known for like 20 years though.
The love that died
It was a lot harder to keep tabs on online friends in 1999.
I spent my teenage years scamming people in RuneScape by promising to be their girlfriend for some mithril armor
Hell yeah, I had a friend do that in Everquest for free stuff.
When I was like 7 or 8, I played this life sim game on Roblox. It was called The Complex, which is basically just an RPG about living in apartments lol.
Anyway some girl asked me if I wanted to get married and I was like yeah. Then I messaged her a few days later asking if she wanted to play other games because, I mean, we’re husband and wife now right?
She responded “lol I only married you because it’s a game”
That was my 3rd heartbreak in my life and I was only a kid
I’ve personally never married, although I’ve known a few couples that did so in game. Motre often than not it’s mostly for the practical rewards, although I’ve seen people divorce ingame after breaking up their relationship (and guild lol)
I got married in Minecraft. She said when we were going to meet for the Rosa Luxemburg Conference in Berlin 2 Weeks ago she would introduce me as her Minecraft Husband she didnt, thankfully.
Closest I’ve had is runescape girlfriends.
