Random curiosity. Why /did/do/will you get married in the game? Making babies? Bored? And wow, love?
Does your special someone also play this game? Do you believe in finding real love from an online game?
P/s: I personally got married because why not, and weak baby chars are the norm.

I'll get banned if I post the usual 4chan lingo here, right?

I thought this was going to be a personal ad for matchmaking.

Fyi most people get married for symbolic reasons. That is to say, they are dating or married outside of the game, and they get the in game marrieage as a symbol of their relationship

The other half do it because they're friends and they want to be able to summon each other or give sp, or adopt. For fun/convenience.

I don't exepct anyone does it because they think ro marriage is a valid state marriage license and contract.

[Necrohealiac]

i would like to submit that some of these RO marriages are more real and lasting than some RL ones.

i can't believe this is actually a thing.

[Draciolus]

I mostly marry on RO for the perks when leveling, or to make leeching something that can't really solo easily(pure brewer that isn't set to be able to kill...or survive...at all). Or because I/a friend want a midget.

[xLoli]

I just got RO married for the second time (university made me a widow T.T) and we did it for a couple of reasons.

 

1. It's fun! We can give each other SP/HP and teleport each other.
2. We're a Wanderer and a Maestro. Not only can we help each other with lots of personal quest stuff, but our guild too.
3. We're gonna adopt a baby AB, so we'll be a nice little buff team. 

The first time I got RO married was my Wanderer to a GX, just because we always played together, so it was convenient to tele each other, and I had some great buffs for him, while he could kill mobs for me much more quickly than my Severe Rainstorm could (this was before dex boots and when I was geared terribly.) We helped each other get to the then max level.

I did your number three myself. Kind of stopped leveling the parents, but the baby can heal quite nicely. 2500 at 101...with just my wand, chibi pope, and blush. Nothing else on him.

[xLoli]

A baby AB stopped by was showing us his moves last night in Glast Heim. Quite the little killer he was, lol.

[Draciolus]

If I ever did gear up my regular AB, or even the baby, I could probably level them easily. The regular one is like 116 or 117...not sure since I got bored of constantly falling asleep supporting people(hooray for not having to think about supporting people...and conserving SP...very very rare to drop below 60% SP on my AB, and rarely below 40% on baby)

[Sizzleboom]

I got married on RO to my girlfriend years ago. We've broken up long since then. The marriage was simply a fun thing to do since we were in a relationship IRL. 

 

What I miss is having my baby perma Acolyte. Look at this cute thing:

Too much information, Sizzle.

I remember my ro wives ^.^ they were all special in their own way im still friends with em all too. Most of them quit ro tho, an di stay in touch with them and visit from time to time . For me Having a ro wife is equal to have a close best friend in long term. And to make the best of your ro experience. I remember when i got married in ro, I made a big spectacle in forums and had lots of people come. had it recorded GM's came and such i gave away equips and branches a fun festivity i say. ^.^

RO relationships never work out (speaking from experience), so just marry yourself for buffs!

That feel when your post gets edited because it contains a swearword while a post that contains kitten gets left alone

Edited by VModCoffee, 22 December 2014 - 06:26 PM.
It most certainly is not going to be left alone, don't worry.

[Talvis]

Well, for me the one time I was married years ago, it was with a friend who I leveled with frequently, so it just made sense. 

As other people said, some do it with friends for leveling convenience while others do it someone they're dating or married to in real life.  Some marry a person they're dating in RO and the rest just marry an alt account for the skills.

[rockymom]

A couple of my characters married a couple of my fiance's characters since they were pretty nicely matched characters. Another couple of my characters have married a couple of a friend's characters so we can adopted some of his characters as he wants to make a whole account of baby characters. It's mostly just a fun thing to do.

[ChakriGuard]

Not sure how I feel about this lol

 

My first iRO wife and I started out ... damn I dont even remember anymore because when we first met, I didnt know we would do a RL relationship. I need to go back to ask her again how we met.

 

When we realized she lives in the same city of my sister (not so far from my city). After weeks of spending times together, we felt some strong chemistry. Later we decided to try a long-distance relationship and then we married in game. We were not even best friends yet. We literally were "friends" for weeks. Everything was fine and perfect until we broke up 2+ years ago. I had to go back to my home country (in far Asia while she lived in North America) for a year to do the military thing.

 

Now we live close again and we are friends, taking it slowly but big chance we are gonna give us another try.
