Marriage, ladies and gentlemen. Marriage is a game mechanic, or at least it will be early next month when update 1.7 goes live for Trion Worldsâ MMO Rift. Theyâll be celebrating the new feature on February 14 by attempting to establish the World Record for most in-game marriages in a 24-hour period. Whereâs that Divorce Paper vendor again?
There are plenty of reasons to get a virtual marriage in a massively multiplayer game, and most of them are horrible. Speaking as a man that will one day write a book about all of the horrible relationships Iâve had that spawned from online games, donât do it. Just donât.
Unless a World Record attempt is involved, of course.
Riftâs new wedding system makes it easy to marry the man, woman, or man you think is a woman. Simply purchase a wedding ring from a vendor, offer it to your loved one, and BAM! Youâve done something stupid. Or one can go the more elaborate route, launching a lavish scripted wedding event for several hundred of their close friends.
Trion Worlds would suggest you wait until February 14, Valentineâs Day, to make things official. That ensures the blessed union of virtual souls counts towards the record. If you just canât wait, however, do not fret â those divorce papers I mentioned earlier are a real thing.
Save the Date â Get hitched and be part of a world record this Valentineâs Day! [Rift]
