    You can be polite in one thread, two threads, three threads even in the 10th thread about the same subject.

    But if you encounter at least a dozen of these threads who i suspect are all from a select group of ppl with different chars/accounts, then it gets boring/lame and it'll change the people's opinion about the subject in a negative way just because we get spammed by it 100000000000 times a day.

    There are even people who think we're homophobic because we say "no it isn't going to happen because the chinese culture doesn't allow it blablablablabla etc etc...." .

    About the "if you post it over and over again it'll happen"-theory...lol so if i keep telling you "the world is flat...the world if flat....the world if flat" over and over and over again, you'll buy it? right...

    With all respect, but the only ones giving the **** community (on pwi and in other places) a bad name, are you who start these kind of threads. And i'm not ****/lesb but surely got nothing against anyone who is.

    Stop making pointless **** threads. And I will stop trolling. Deal?

    I wonder what you ever want to achieve with your failing threat full of rudeness and lack of constructive thoughts. I am not choosing either camp originally, but given how you act, I would never want to negotiate with you ever, on any subject.

    I can't even take you seriously nor consider you as a troll, even of the lowest quality. Try harder, pal.
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~

    Chinese law apparently doesn't allow gambling in online games, either. yet we have packs.

    Bleh it's hard to get bored on the forums when the game has little to offer now.

    And most people, maybe like me, really don't care about the same sex thing because pwi has more important (yea don't take it the wrong way <.<) issues to solve first before even thinking of these small ones.

    that is true, but it is not a suggestion. thats why i posted this under suggestions. im suggesting the change and trying to get others to petition with me to help make the change
    Hey, I'm in totall agreement with you. Dispite this being the topic of multiple treads, it's still something that needs to be suggested and covered in as many places as possible. I dont understand why people are so opposed to this idea. Even if thay make it an option in-game it does not mean that you have to parake, or observe people taking advantage of said hypothetical change. If your really that opposed to it, ignore it. I think allowing At least same-sex marriage, would be a step up. This is supposed to be a "Perfect World" no? I mean, I know that there are Wraiths and monsters everywhere, (and this might make me sound like a totall and complete hippie, no offence to the hippies....) but can we focus on eliminating problems like, account theives, and hackers, and gold spammers, and harassment instead of saying that same-sex mariage is a horrid thing and should not be allowed in-game? I play Video Games to get away from that kind of hostility.

    just to make sure its said, i know you arent all homophobic because you say it wont happen. just pointing that out. and the reason there is now 11 pages of this is because it truly is an issue on pwi.

    Okay, dude. Really. I've read just recently someone posted that packs have now been 'banned' in the Chinese versions because online games are not allowed there to have gambling involved. Obviously the Chinese version and the International versions don't have to be EXACTLY ALIKE. Allow same-sex marriage and embrace in the versions that aren't specific to a place that's so against it. Can't Chinese players play the international version? Yet PWI still has packs, so those players can get past their little ban by playing another version so we should be able to get past China's little 'ban' against same-sex interaction on our version. Yes, to same-sex on International. Let China's version have it the way they want it, but as ours is based out of the US, let it stand to the fact. (And yes, I'm aware China still makes the game here, that its just run out of the US.)

    Shivalia - Lost City

    Also, regardless if people 'accept' it in whatever country, its going to happen. Its not a matter of, "Oh, China doesn't except it, so it doesn't happen in real life so there's no reason to consider it whatsoever." No. Not even close. By keeping it as something impossible in a game doesn't change a damn thing. For god's sake we fly on giant fish on this game. Talk about impossible. Now its like they're looking at something that is possible and very much happening (even if not in their own country) and just trying to make themselves believe they can stop it by their creation.. I'm getting too deep to keep my own attention. I hope that made sense. Sorry I'm ranting and a lot of people will probably get mad at me for supporting it, but honestly, I don't care what the Chinese think as far as this goes. Yeah, they can do what they want, but maybe they shouldn't hide behind 'we don't allow it here, so we're not doing it'. Maybe something more like 'we like how our game is now and we don't want to change that'. I could respect that, at least rather than just viewing it like they're being ignorant jerks about the situation. That's just my take on it, anyway. I can respect anyone's opinions, but that's much less an opinion and much more just plain being close-minded toward the entire world considering they're covering a game that's International.

    exactly. the international game should allow **** marriage. just what would be bad about that. if somone can name a problem that would arise by same sex marriage in pwi please inform me

    oh. OK. so give me a reason **** marriage shouldn't happen. ill say it again, i will quit if someone can give me a good reason to. the fact that you said that and had no reason even though i have asked many times for a reason is because you know you don't have a good argument, you don't have an argument at all, all you have is a bible, which, is a book written by man.

    To be honest, I don't think it would be a wise business move. I think there are many more players that play the game that are opposed to same sex marriage (for whatever reason) than there are those that are indifferent or support it. It would cause quite a stir, and I don't doubt that many people would quit because of it. It would also bring forth many harassment issues, I think. In the long run I think implementing same sex marriage would make the game's environment even less appealing to those that wanted it because of the maturity level of many of the other players here ("Player1 and Player2 are now wife and wife! (well I'm sure the system message would be a little more eloquent than that...)" *20 wcs about how disgusting and wrong it is... 3 "that's hot!"*) and because of the rude whispers they'd undoubtedly receive as they played, which would ultimately lead to even more people quitting.
    Until same sex marriage is universally accepted (not necessarily seen as a good thing, but no longer illegal/taboo/disgusting to a vast amount of people) it would do more harm than good to implement. I'm not saying that implementing it would singlehandedly destroy the game, but it would anger more people than it would please.

    Your point is well taken by me and should be a universal response to this discussion, I think. I honestly couldn't have said it better myself, and while I'm more than all for having the equality of the situation being put into the game, all of your points are valid and very true. There's already enough harassment for everything else that happens in this game, and its true it would cause much more. Unfortunately I have to agree with you at this point. In a sense to pull back what I've said through the rest of this post. I really with more people would come along and respond with intelligence and logic like you just did. Its much appreciated. b:thanks

    what makes you believe that?

    we have some circumstantial basis to judge such an assumption by, if we look at how this debate is playing out in the real world --- where, overwhelmingly, the younger generations are either supportive or indifferent of the issue, and the major opposition is found in older age groups. and video gamers tend to be younger folks. what makes you think PW gamers in particular buck this trend?
    It would cause quite a stir, and I don't doubt that many people would quit because of it.

    enough many to make a difference in PWE's balance sheets? that would surprise me --- enough so that, again, i'd like to ask for your supporting reasoning and evidence. that doesn't correspond well with my experience; lots of people moan and complain about how they're gonna ragequit because of (insert latest patch here), but do we really see the player population shrinking much? i have no doubt that people would scream bloody murder of how this change would make them quit, i just am not convinced very many would.
    Until same sex marriage is universally accepted (not necessarily seen as a good thing, but no longer illegal/taboo/disgusting to a vast amount of people)

    by that definition of "accepted" (which, IMO, is a rather odd one, but okay) i think we're pretty much already there. the people who do see it as taboo and disgusting are a steadily, if slowly, shrinking minority --- a very loud minority, but still not a "vast amount". and the legal situation is catching up to that; several years behind the curve, as the legal aspect of every social change always tends to be, but nevertheless.

    I'm atheist you idiot. Good try though. I'm not against **** marriage, in real life i'd vote to support it, it's none of my business what you want to do with someone you care about. Do what you want, it doesnt affect me.

    But your argument is a lost cause. **** marriage is illegal in China. End of story. Now go uninstall PW you scrub.

    Maybe it has more to do with the area that I live in and may not be a good representative sample of everywhere else, but I've only come across a handful of younger people (mid teens to early twenties) that are indifferent to same sex marriage and even less that are actually for it. If the threads here on the subject of same sex marriage are any indication of what PWI's playerbase feels about the subject, then I don't think many would respond kindly if same sex marriage were to be put in game, though I do realize that not nearly as many people post here when compared to how many play the game.

    enough many to make a difference in PWE's balance sheets? that would surprise me --- enough so that, again, i'd like to ask for your supporting reasoning and evidence. that doesn't correspond well with my experience; lots of people moan and complain about how they're gonna ragequit because of (insert latest patch here), but do we really see the player population shrinking much? i have no doubt that people would scream bloody murder of how this change would make them quit, i just am not convinced very many would.
    That's true, but I think it would be different in this case. This would genuinely offend some people - not just annoy them (looking at you, chat system).

    by that definition of "accepted" (which, IMO, is a rather odd one, but okay) i think we're pretty much already there. the people who do see it as taboo and disgusting are a steadily, if slowly, shrinking minority --- a very loud minority, but still not a "vast amount". and the legal situation is catching up to that; several years behind the curve, as the legal aspect of every social change always tends to be, but nevertheless.
    I kind of created my own definition because I don't think it's something that will ever be accepted in the sense that everyone's alright with it in the same way that people are with traditional marriage (people may not like that same sex marriage isn't legal everywhere, but I haven't really heard of anyone that's opposed to a man and a woman marrying, to clarify.) Again, it may just be that I probably live in a conservative area and so my experience is skewed (it's sure starting to seem that way based on your replies lol) but it doesn't seem that it's pretty much already accepted. It's only legal in a few states. And I don't know, hundreds of millions of people seems like a vast amount to me, but that's just an assumption... I don't care about this enough to look up any kind of statistics. :x I just feel like there's still a ways to go before the general consensus is that same sex marriage is okay.

    My previous post did make it sound like having same sex marriage in-game would lead to a Perfect World apocalypse, and no, I don't think that's the case. But I do think that it would cause more trouble than it's worth, and that at the end of the day it wouldn't do any favors for PWE.
